1.		Fencing: Techniques of Foil, Epee and Sabre from The Crowood Press Ltd Price: £16.14 Customer Review: Brian was my coach before he sadly passed away. I am now British Number 1 at Women's Epee and can attribute much of my success and motivation to his entusiastic teaching and extensive knowledge of this fascinating sport. I am now a professional coach myself, and this book is my Bible. Jo... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Foil Fencing: The Techniques and Tactics of Modern Foil Fencing from Summersdale Publishers Price: £9.09 Customer Review: This is my first fencing book that I have bought after starting some two weeks before. Although this book is a bit difficult to handle due to the load of information, I find it actually useful. I particularly like the warm-up and practice tips in the Annex. The drawings also make the text a lot... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Kendo: The Definitive Guide from Kodansha International Ltd Price: £14.70 Customer Review: This book cannot be too highly recommended for a beginner of Kendo. With plain English descriptions, clear images and thorough detail throughout, Kendo: The Definitive Guide is the best Kendo book I know of. Perhaps uses a little too much Japanese, which can become confusing when trying to... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Practice Drills for Japanese Swordsmanship from Weatherhill Inc Price: £12.99 Customer Review: Probably a book for a limited audience. No bells and whistles, or pretty pictures. This simply presents one mans ideas on exercises and drills to suppliment sword training. A usefull addition, though perhaps not a core text.

5.		Old Sword-play: Techniques of the Great Masters from Dover Publications Inc. Price: £6.99 Customer Review: This is a rather short book on the use of several medieval weapon combinations. Great if you are interested in getting a basic outline of the technique but just when you think its about to get in depth, it switches to a new weapon. What there is of this book is very good, to get all five stars it... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Flashing Steel: Mastering Eishin-Ryu Swordmanship from North Atlantic Books,U.S. Customer Review: This is not a review about Flashing Steel so please forgive me. However, I felt bound to draw your attention to another one of Masayuki's outstanding books which is available only on the Amazon.com site called "Katsu Jin Ken: Living Karate: The Way to Self Mastery" (ISBN: 097912896X) "Living... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		The Art and Science of Fencing from McGraw-Hill Contemporary Price: £8.99 Customer Review: Mr Evangelista has produced what can best be described as ‘an adequate introduction for the novice fencer or curious layman’. His descriptions and diagrams of basic techniques are very informative and would prove useful for beginner students. However, he somewhat spoils his efforts by... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Sigmund Ringeck's "Knightly Art of the Longsword" from Paladin Press,U.S. Price: £21.00 Customer Review: This is simply the best book on longsword I have read. The teachings of Master Sigmund Ringeck are clearly laid out using clear drawings to help explain the different moves.

10.		Jo: Art of the Japanese Short Staff (Weapons Series): Art of the Japanese Short Staff (Weapons Series) from Black Belt Communications Price: £9.99 Customer Review: This book may be a little dated in style, but not in content. It is intended as in introduction to Jo work and shouldn't be expected to deliver more than this. It shows basic techniques, as well as a decent kata to practise. I tend to feel this is a good accompliment to actual training with a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
