Cutting (Rapier Apprentice)
Cutting is not an action we associate with rapier fencing, yet we see it documented in numerous 17th century texts. This month we’ll be exploring cutting actions, including half-cuts and beats. We’ll also look at how we can use cutting to facilitate stringere.
Learning how to cut with a rapier, especially looking at the body mechanics, is hard, so we will be using some of dall’Agocchie’s forms work on body mechanics to then apply to rapier.
Acknowledgement of Safety and Risk
- Practice all exercises slowly and with control.
- Practice using training swords that are not sharp and are specifically made for practice.
- Use protective gear for all exercises. In many of our videos we are not wearing head, throat or body protection in order to make clear explanation more possible. You should always use protective gear when practicing these arts regardless of the exercise.
- Be aware that injuries in training are always possible. Ensure that you are practicing with care and caution at all times.
- DuelloTV is not responsible for any injuries that occur as a result of sword practice inspired from our videos.
