Part I. of my new video series about fencing with the symbol of the renaissance - the rapier, according to the teachings of Salvator Fabris and other masters. See more at: Though most of people see rapier as a weapon which was used solely for thrusting, that is not entirely true. The renaissance rapier was a cut and thrust weapon and most of the rapier masters describe both kinds of attacking. The thrust of course should be our primary means of engaging our opponent but in some situations a cut becomes more natural and even more effective. That’s why we shouldn’t forget to practice various kinds of cutting not only to strenghten the arm, but to find the most effective ways to perform cuts and be able to employ them from any position we may find ourselves in. In this video I’ll show you some basic exercises which I do in my solo practice and will give you some practical tips.
