Winning at Épée: Techniques for the Shorter Fencer is now available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions.
In the sport of Modern Olympic Fencing, where the taller fencer notionally has the advantage of reach, the shorter fencer needs every tactical help they can get – especially fencing épée where there is no right-of-way rule.
Winning at Épée: Techniques for the Shorter Fencer outlines the plays that can shorten the odds; from mobility, timing, tactics and psychology, to recognising and dealing with the danger zone created by that difference in reach.
Practical analysis and advice from experienced fencing coach Robin Catling proves that any fencer of any stature can win at épée.
