It's not just new -- it's Revolutionary!
World and Olympic Champion
Johan Harmenberg shows why classical fencing can only take you so far. What you need is 

EPEE 2.0
The Birth of the New Fencing Paradigm

cover final front only1.png

Sure to be controversial, this book is a must-read for every epeeist (and his or her coach). An inspiring story of triumph against odds, it's also a how-to book on how to win with less talent--how to "kill" classical fencing--why "all they do is jump around and crash into each other" -- and why it's all Johan Harmenberg's "fault." Johan is the 1977 World Champion and 1980 Olympic Champion in individual epee. He's a world-renowned research scientist but still finds time to train the Swedish team.

For some unsolicited praise (and some criticism) for the book, see the discussion on fencing.net. (Click here.)
