Longsword vs Rapier sparring Adam vs Nick

Описание к видео Longsword vs Rapier sparring Adam vs Nick

This fight goes a long way to showing the sort of frustration a rapier can present in a one-on-one unarmoured fight, as it is meant for. Most people with a longsword think to go in hard with strong swings and aggression. Adam has done a few fights against rapier before and is therefore trying to refine his movement down to protect himself as to not create too many openings, but as you see, the more frustrated he becomes, the more he starts swinging and using large cuts and aggression, but that plays into the hands of the rapier.
I (Nick) also worked some of the openings that would be more difficult and dangerous to strike were I fighting a rapier. Notably, the thrust to the hands/forearm, and cut to the led leg.
Adam is using a Peter Regenyei feder and Nick is using a custom Danelli rapier that is a museum copy from the Wallace collection with a blade length of 46.5" (118cm).
