Rather than continue to pile on to the mountain of negative commentary on the books out there, I’m going to comb through them to tease out the good and separate it from the bad or unfounded. I’m sure that there is a lot in there that I’ll be objecting to, but there should also be some nuggets of truth in there and areas where we all agree. Over the next few weeks I’m going to do something that most modern competitive fencers wouldn’t – I’m going to read at least one of Nick Evangelista’s books and comment on it, chapter by chapter. One thing to his credit, he does love fencing and wants to promote it.

Oftentimes his assertions on what constitutes proper form are variations of the 'we’ve always done it that way' arguement. 'The art of fencing is gaining control over ourselves the science of fencing is learning to control the other person,' Evangelista said. Looking at his writings, there are several areas where he is just out of touch with the fencing world and modern sports science. Through his private lessons and the society, Evangelista teaches his students the 'French' style of fencing, which combines the science of the sword with the art of the form. Also, at some point, every competitive fencer learns to take Evangelista’s writings with a very large grain of salt. Nearly every fencer has, at some point, read at least part of one of Nick Evangelista’s books on fencing.
