When I was a teenager I did fencing. Our instructor gave us homework over the summer, he let us bring home a foil and gave us each a en empty box of matches with a string.
He said “you need to hit this box of matches 50 times in a row before the summer ends.”

Man, that was hard, but we did it. We had to practice every day. I miss fencing.

I really like the rapier as a weapon since it rewards the user, if you don't know how to use it it's almost useless but if you know how to, it rewards you with a extremely effective weapon on targets

The way you explain not only is perfectly clear but also very relaxing to listen to! Great job!

[vargviriathus]

Great information, thank you for all the effort put into these drill videos.

Im practicing a heavy longsword and a katana and the basic principles of these drills are super easy to use with other swords

[WhiteApeMA]

Wow very nice!
In your footwork drills I am reminded of Xing Yi (a Chinese martial art)
Very cool to see so much similarity in completely different things :)

Thank you. I bought a training rapier because I want to use the controlled movement drills to rehab my joints.
So this video is a big help and a good starting point.

[Sakabashira]

Thank you so much for all you guys do💚

[kamilszadkowski]

It looks great. I'm definitely adding this up to my training schedule. Can we expect something similar for a sabre?

[ochs-hema]

Always nice to see a pappenheimer rapier and a good training instruction :)

[rayyanma]

My kind of sword. Good video as always.

[StarBoundFables]

[koloblican]

What a fantastic video. If I ever teach again I will be using this!

[kezwikHD]

Best video about rapier so far. Pls make more of those detailed explanation videos <3

[investlikeawarrior]

That's a hell of a nice-looking rapier. Some many rapiers Ive seen are overly artsy and heavy. Nice sword

[KlausBeckEwerhardy]

That's tremedoulsy helpful. Thanks.

[gregdavidson]

Love the videos thanks for the lessons.

[DERyuga]

This is excellent! Can you make a version for longsword as well? I practice rapier much more often but dont know a whole lot about Longsword

Good video. I have done something similar with saber and small sword using a punching bag at the gym.
