17th century Rapier Plays à la Academie Duello (Rapier Apprentice)

Taking inspiration from Masters of old.

This month we are going to look at plays from different rapier masters and how we can use them within our system. While still staying in the realm of “Italian” 17th century rapier, we are casting the net broad, including Masters that were influenced by the German and Spanish traditions. Each week we will look at plays from a different Master and we will see how their plays work, or rather adapt them to work within the rapier system of Academie Duello. Perhaps not for the purist.

Acknowledgement of Safety and Risk

  1. Practice all exercises slowly and with control.
  2. Practice using training swords that are not sharp and are specifically made for practice.
  3. 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.
  4. Be aware that injuries in training are always possible. Ensure that you are practicing with care and caution at all times.
  5. DuelloTV is not responsible for any injuries that occur as a result of sword practice inspired from our videos.
