VTFC Episode 5 Rapier: Gaining and Attacking High Outside Line PART 2

Episode 5 in our instructional series about one of the most formidable weapons of the Renaissance: the rapier! Here we focus on highly effective rapier techniques that use Fabris and the Vienna Anonymous as primary sources combined with tournament and sparring experience against resisting opponents. These are rapier concepts and techniques that work! In this episode we examine how to use the false edge of our blade to gain and thrust in opposition on the high outside line. We also explain why the false edge position is actually stronger than the true edge on this line! Channel link for more content:
