Essence of Fencing as an Art Is Martial Spirit

The purpose of this work is to elucidate for the student or any practitioner of fencing or other combative art that there is more than mere technique. One would agree that there is cunning, vigor, intuition, and raw personality behind the execution of technique by an individual. This document aims to address the need to reinforce that a dedicated artist must not stop at the mastery of technique. One has to be alive. And it is through the artist that artistic skills come to life. This concept is essential to the growth of all fencers and artists alike.Jones, Bruce is the author of 'Essence of Fencing as an Art Is Martial Spirit', published 2007 under ISBN 9780615148458 and ISBN 061514845X.
