Hola! Jean-Micheal and I made the trip up to the Atlantian Rapier Academy this weekend and had a great time. There were more rapier fighters than you could ...
Hey everybody My take on the Rapier Academy: there were four tracks of rapier classes, and 2 tracks of A&S classes. Out of all the classes which were offered...
One minor disagreement. Just because somebody in period was from a noble family, didn't necesarily mean they themselves had a title or any money. Even a buy...
... Hmmm. Let me gently demur, at least to this extent: Obviously not everyone trained with Silver, nor Saviolo. However: if one's striving to learn *period*...
FYI......... The comment I made was pointed at Pennsic XXX. I had been up near the Rapier marshal's tent after fighting a blue ??? Don from Midrealm [i...
... if ... period ... manuals ... I realize I didn't state my case clearly. Let me try again. Just because we do it and it works by our rules DOES NOT make...
I understood the part about Pennsic XXX and those where the files I had checked. The difference being-the first post was 24 breaks, now its 24 downchecked....
... Well, it was a gentle demurral... ;-) ... OK... ... Ummmm... how is that different from your immediately prior sentence? ... If that is true -- and for...
Being from Meridies, [we are a Schlager only kingdom], I didn't think I would need epee blades. I have since become epee qualified and should I get a blade,...

If I can add my 2 cents on the epee topic.... When comparing epee breakage to larger or other weapons, don't forget that epees are designed to break at a...
... A dalmatian is a dog, but a given dog is not necesarily a dalmation. Our rules and our weapons are different than what was used in period. Therefore, the...
... Depends upon their goal, I suppose. If they're doing SCA-rapier for sport, then that's a reasonable stance. If they are doing SCA-rapier in order to...
... I've been paying attention to fencing-related safety issues for 20+ years, and I've *never* heard that epees have a built-in "breaking point". Do you have...
My wendyc<at>vivid.com address has become unstable and I can't access it at the moment. I now have another address that should be more stable. I can be reached...
That is just what I was taught a long time ago by a college coach, I think. Late 70's early 80's. Don't remember where I picked it up, really. I do remember...
An interesting discussion and I can see the merits from both sides. First off, I agree with both of the following statements, except the beginning part from...
I will be bringing a pair of motorcycle boots to Collegium, size 8M. If anybody wants them, you are welcome to them. They are too large for my feet. Zippered...
We need to qualify for epee? I guess it makes sense. I assumed we wouldn't have to qualify for a downgrade. Antonio ... __________________________________ Do...

Don't think of it as a downgrade, think of it as a different weapon with different handling characteristics which require a seperate authorization. Irene Irene...
That was an atempt at humor. "Epee" is not on my card. How would one, if that one were intrested, get an Epee authorization in Meridies? Antonio ... ...
The KRM or a designated deputy and a marshal with authorization responsibilities from a kingdom that uses epees must run the authorization using the other...
I would like to thank everyone in the SE SCA Rapier community for the time they spent helping (and killing) me at Gatalop. As a new player of this game, I...
My fellow Fencers, This a rather belated post, but 2 weeks ago my truck was stolen in the north Pensacola area. All my fencing gear was inside. Here is a...
