DVD Reviews of Fencing: Basic Beginners Training
DVD Review: Amateurish, but not bad instruction
Summary: 2 Stars
The instructor and his instruction in this video seem to be good, but the quality of the video is lacking. There is only one video angle used during the entire video, which makes it difficult at times to distinguish the details of his instructions. Other times the camera isn't focusing on the technique the instructor is describing.
All in all a very amateurish video. While some of it might be a decent review for a novice fencer, everything in this video will have been taught in the first couple of fencing lessons. This video will not teach you how to fence. At most it will introduce you to some of the skills and terms, but without real training will not be much help.
DVD Review: Fencing: Basic Beginners Training
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, we liked the video since it was so basic. But we were disappointed with the actual video footage, there were times that we were suppose to be copying his footwork but the camera angle wasn't low enough to actually see his footwork. That was frustrating.DVD Review: Shows the basics well
Summary: 3 Stars
This video is very practical for the beginner, it covers the most basic elements of the sport, and provides specific instruction and details on basic fencing techniques and terminology.
However, the filming style and narrative techniques leave little to be desired.
Shot with a single camera in a gymnasium, we follow the lessons from our instructor who is clearly qualified to teach, but is not an engaging host.
There are some sound and lighting glitches that give the film a very homemade quality.
This is a practical video for those who want to see specific drills and tips for actual fencing.
Definitely for the beginner...but this is what it aims at.
DVD Review: Beginner's Guide to Fencing
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very informative video that explains the basics of fencing. The instruction is fast paced and very well packed with information.
There was on problem though. For some reason my DVD player built into my television would not read it. But I gave it to a friend and he viewed it with his DVD player, and later I bought another DVD player, that didn't read it the first time I tried but read it the second time.
DVD Review: Old but still useful
Summary: 3 Stars
This information was very very old. The video was very amaturish, and I have seen better. However, for a beginner, and someone not the least familiar with the sport, it is an introduction. Not a good one, but at least they have the idea and basics. At least they can see what is being taught as opposed to looking at a picture in a book. I would not buy it again, or recommend it to a student.
