Rapier class at the Higgins begins June 5
Posted: Tue May 18, 2010 11:14 am

The class will run four consecutive Saturdays, until June 25. This will be an intensive, hands-on workshop. Even if you are not interested in rapier per se, it will also be an excellent introduction to systematic training in the principles and mechanics of historical fencing.
My bona fides: I am a fencer of some thirteen years' experience, an internationally certified fencing instructor (AAI), a Ph.D in history, and the translator of Camillo Agrippa's "Treatise on the Science of Arms."
