More lantern fencing fun with Marli at HARP Fencing.
I *think* in these I was supposed to keep blinding her and take it away but ended up just blinding on occasion instead.

Had a great time at the 2026 Texas Sword Retreat.
Had a great time hanging out with new folks. Weather was also beautiful.

Lantern Fencing: Part I 🔦
Following a few rounds of “night fencing in the dark” I got a crash course in lantern fencing from Marli & Eric of HARP Fencing.

Training to integrate a “new” technique into the mix.
This was part of our SCA East Kingdom Rapier Champs prep ramp up back in January.
We wanted to make sure Anezka was comfortable with multiple actions she could do from her finding.

Part 2 of building 1st with Eli. No VO, just the live coaching notes.
Last vid we looked at the direct cut from 1st, which is nice and clean. This time we looked at circular cut to the head from 1st — a nice 🍞&🧈 combo.

🔊On: Today’s video is fun ‘cause it’s really not much of a video at all.
While at RASP Marli and Maestro Myers of HARP Fencing gave me a little crash course in fighting at night in the dark and also using a lantern for night assaults.

First day in the new digs at The Foundry! Great spot for some classical fencing.

We knew the lists for SCA East Kingdom’s Rapier Champs were gonna be real tiny* and that would potentially mean an increase number of messy infighting**.

NEW VIDEO! This one looks at the legendary life of Jean-Louis Michel. Seriously, his life reads like it's straight from a Dumas novel.

Been a couple of weeks off from coaching due to snow and a sick pupper, but we are getting back into the swing of things this week.
Steel therapy works on the coaching side too.

Finally getting around to editing video from my Charles Besnard workshop from last spring.
Not sure if it'll be one video or a mini-series. Gonna edit it all and see what the overall length is. Do folks have a preferred upper time range in a video?

Friday morning training sessions always put me in a good mood.

This was a fun drill in which almost all the power is in Anezka’s hands.
She decides if she wants to hit me with a straight thrust or if she wants to set up a second intention action.

A+ job by Marli here!

Rapier Squad had some fun last week looking at unique fencing situations.
A class fav was spear vs dagger… a situation you don’t want to get in, but if you did, this is how Giganti suggests you go about it.

After doing some coached sparring to start the lesson, we found a few holes or actions that needed refinement, so we built it into this drill.
