DESCRIPTION:
Constraint is two-fold: both security & advantage must be achieved if it is to pay off. While this applies to both rapier alone, as well as rapier & dagger, each have their own considerations. This class is meant to focus on improving the acquisition of security & advantage with rapier, and then contrasting that with rapier & dagger. Nicoletto Giganti's 1606 text will serve as the basis for the class exercises. We will be lunging against each other. Please bring a training rapier (del tin-style blade suggested, schlagers work ok, lighter construction not suggested), training dagger, gloves, 12k mask, protection for the upper torso, notepad & pen/pencil. Throat protection suggested. |
