Lunging, Leg & Back Strength with Rapier
Work the lunge in every direction: left, right, up and down!
In this course we’re covering the lunge in its many forms, from short and punchy to extended and long. We’ll even include lunging in different directions (offline and crossline) as well as touching on basic void lunges, where we twist our bodies sideways (girata) or downward (sbasso) to access new lines and avoid opponent attacks.
A note about warmup and physical readiness. I run a very short warmup at the beginning of class. Take what extra time you may need ahead of class to be able to move freely and sometimes quickly/explosively without risk of injury. Some of us (like me!) need more than a few minutes to warmup, while some require less.

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.
