Query: Weak and Unenlighten Treatment of Fencing

As a competive fencer for over 25 years (member of 3 U.S. Junior World Championship team, U.S. World University Games team and top ten ranked fencer in foil)I found this book to be a poor guide to both the art and science of fencing. It is rigid, dogmatic, and outright misleading. I appreciate the scholarship and some of the historical accounts of schools of fencing. However, this book fails to help newbies whether they be interested in the sport or just the discipline of fencing to enter the exciting world of mind, body, and spirit conjured by it. To quote other great teachers of fencing, "It takes a life time to learn how to fence and life time to fence."
