Full English translation of Giordano Rossi's 1885 fencing treatise, a continuation of the revolutionary method created by Giuseppe Radaelli, the father of modern sabre fencing.

Covering both foil and sabre fencing, along with a summary of rules for conducting duels, the text is complemented by over 50 illustrations and dozens of synoptic tables, making this book a comprehensive guide for both learners and coaches alike.

This is a revised edition of the translation, now including an appendix with a translation of Rossi's 1890 booklet 'Considerations and proposals for the unification of the various fencing systems in Italy'.
