Learn Rapier V. - Second Guard

Part V. of my new video series about fencing with the symbol of the renaissance - the rapier, according to the teachings of Salvator Fabris and other masters.

The four guards in rapier correspond to four hand positions. When we say 'second guard', the palm of the hand points downwards. The strength of this position comes from a more natural positioning compared to the first guard. The reach is superb, cavazioni are done really easily but again we need to practice it a lot for the arm to adjust, since it may get a bit tiring. Seconda is also great for passing below the opponent’s sword
