Book Review: En Garde, Ladies!
Summary: 5 Stars

Fencing is a one of the few sports, like shooting and equestrian challenges, where women and men compete on an equal footing. In fencing, more especially, a trained female fencer may have the advantage of smaller size and quicker movements. However, there is very little written to address the females in the sport. The Evangelistas, with three decades of teaching behind them finally deliver a book for the female fencer to help hone that advantage (Hey, Fellas, you might want to pick up a copy to know what to expect the next time you face a lady behind the mask!!).

Tired of exercise classes, ladies, fencing tones you, give you grace and elan...it's one great workout with "teeth" to it. It's NEVER boring. So check out this book. It will give you the basics and MORE.

As with all books from Evangelista, it's well written, informative and will give you a clearer understanding of the sport and how, though women are "newbies" to the centuries male dominated sport, they are clearly here to stay!

Writers, again, this is a super reference to make sure your fencing aspects as as sharp as your foil!!
