Thank you, Vigilanti! I had actually looked for something like this last year and never found anything like this. It's challenging, describing the movements in a fight. This will add some flair to it. Thanks again!  |

one of my friend's does historical fencing he studies the actual perod manuals and his teacher was a near olimpic-level fencer. They agree weight and balance are necessary to get the proper feel, foam just doesn't cut it. Here is a link to some of the companies they use. www.therotunda.net/rapier/suppliers.html |

Oh, just go to Toledo and get the real thing! "The finest Toledo steel!" (you can buy them not sharpened, and they can probably be gotten at any Renaissance fair, if you're willing to pay upwards of $500 for a decent sword! I checked the prices once...I almost fainted!)
