Coming soon from the UK is a foil fencing DVD. Shot in High Definition and available in both standard and Blue-ray formats this dvd covers everything from the absolute basics such as how to hold the weapon, to clothing, through footwork to guards, invitos, parries, disengages, ripostes, compound attacks, conventions, and tactics, along with interviews and two short documentaries on the history of fencing and what to expect in your first major tournament.
