You should do a Zweihander duel

The real chat about athletic cups was gold btw 😂 Nicely done.

I wish I had had such a guide when I started the rapier fencing. 🤺🔥

[@vitapin4622]

Sent to my trainer😅, I think he will celebrate the clearly structured list as much as I do, definitely particularly suitable for international students! Thank you!❤

I'd love to see a similar video on saber - super informative

[@SellswordArts]

We have a saber video on True Steel! Kevin Franklin is an amazing teacher

I wish this video had existed when i first started rapier.

[@SellswordArts]

Thank you! We've got a lot of other videos on the site, and we're adding more rapier content coming soon. The goal is to make this information more accessible to people who might not have access to a local school or any other resources, as well as giving people who are already training additional resources

I've been practising rapier regularly for a few months now and I'm very happy with my progress so far. Currently I feel like I'm really getting in tune with my rapier fencing. It was especially nice to notice how using a rapier doesn't tire out my forearms that much anymore. My background is in bolognese sidesword mainly, I can pretty comfortably use those techniques in rapier as well

super informative and paced really nicely, great vid!

Clam shell gang for life!

[@TheLordArion]

Great guide. The shoes are really important. I used a track type shoe with a flared out sole and tore my acl in Ringen practice.

[@shamelaquillo3028]

so much knowledge to absorb

[@ShagShaggio]

Cheers!

I train primarily Filipino blade arts, and we do Espada y Dagga. But we start studying with 2 sticks. It definitely makes putting a smaller weapon in your live hand easier, because the weight and effort are coming down.

Small cup for life 😢

[@brebre4519]

I literally only subbed just because of the shad “drama” but I may have actually found my new favorite channel!!! This is amazing and cool and beautiful! 🖤🖤🖤

I learned in 1980, you had almost no variety, but three types of Foils, Epees and Sabers, the only difference to most where the blades and the grips. As for the protective gear....It was WHITE and looked all the same.
