Ricardo Enrique Manrique’s illustrated manual sets out foil-fencing instruction for class use. It explains the positions and movements on which the activity depends, combining written directions with photographs that show the bodily relationships involved in the exercises.
The instruction proceeds through stance, the handling of the foil, attacking and defensive actions, and the coordination required to put techniques into practice. Its class-work format makes the progression of exercises important: movements are presented as parts of an organised course rather than a collection of isolated tricks. The illustrations support the text by showing examples of posture and action.
Issued in 1920 by the American Sports Publishing Company in Spalding’s athletic-handbook series, the complete original work is intended as a general instructional reference for learners and teachers of fencing. The unchanged EPUB retains the original photographs, text, publishing material and license notices.
