Construction and Physics of the Sword and Rapier

ROOM: Dart Auditorium

INSTRUCTOR: Craig Johnson

DESCRIPTION:

A presentation and handling class, we will look at several examples of each type to address how construction and the physics of use are indicative of how a weapon was to be used and evolved to match styles of combat.

Participants will get the chance to handle historically accurate weapons they may not have worked with before to see what the experience brings to the discussion.
