"Now if you fortunate enough to have a Steve of your own" Way to do me like that. I just wanted to learn a bit about Rapiers, not being reminded of my loneliness ;-;
The similarities the Italian Rapier guards has compared to saber guards is uncanny…the only differences however, is the attack of the rapier primarily focuses on the thrusts while the saber focuses on cuts.
These lessons are excellent, but I just the "Steve wave!" 8D Subscribed! On another note, I like the music - it adds without distracting (and there's something about it that reminds me of the acoustic opening to Led Zepplin's, "Stairway to Heaven." Hmm!). =)
More Rapier would be good. Also you should consider getting on some Alt websites. Patreon and TH-cam are getting more and more hostile to anything related to weapons, martial arts, or history. Wouldn’t hurt to have backups set up.
Does the non dominant hand need to be at the side? I've seen a fencer destroying another one, but he had his hand behind his back, wich seemed odd to me
Sorry for the late reply but check out Castille Armory. But sure where all they ship but if you live in the US or Canada you shouldn’t have much trouble getting them.
I have done this a lot with an epee! It's tremendously fun to mess with your opponents angle game! At least at the fighting level I was at back then. Unfortunately, with a rapier you can't really hold your grip strongly enough without a finger over the cross guard.

I'd love to see more rapier...
Rapers are such awesome weapons. They look cool too.
I've been fighting rapier in the SCA for 5 years. This video is definitely going into my new-people-101 tool belt. Thanks for the great video!
Awww yea. Rapier. My current love.
You look very happy. Whatever it is making you so, keep it up.
Awesome HEMA tutorial for beginners! Thanks 🙏🏼
The first sword i ever bought was an Italian rapier.
Cool vid 🤺
Beautiful
Steve is a hero of this video :D
ok, i think i fell in love with this channel, thanks a lot

Prima or 1rst guard is used when you carry a shield, and corsairs, that trained in the Italian system, knew that.
Im gonna use the rapier in my left hand just too fuck with my friend.

Steve's last name wouldn't be "Pell," would it?

Nice video. I wonder how much of this could be used with basket hilt swords or schiavona.
there are various manuals for those types of swords, so using a system/guards specific to them would work better.
THX maester 🗡️
Beautiful weapon, beautiful video! Now I have somehow the urgent need to get a Rapier :D
Can you say more about the need for a bent elbow?
HEMA should become more popular.
did Fiore have rapier forms?
I want a steve!! xD

i don't wanna mess with this chick
Out of curiosity, does anyone know why Lee Smith no longer appears in B&I videos?
I suspect it's because hunting season has started.
Where can I buy that rapier? I've been looking for a rapier in that style for quite some while, unsuccessfully so...

Are you Katie Sackhoff's younger sister?
Crazy idea but hear me out. Rapier in icepick grip.
Might as well use a short spear. Use like a harpoon, to the foots, to the jewels.
