Welcome to Atenveldt
Rapier! (Arizona)
First off, rapier can be
what you make of it! It can be a serious life
moving adventure or a delightful pass time. Many
of people have experienced the thrill of using steel in
their hand while making lovely friendships or
discovering devious nemesis that they love to hate for
all time. The SCA's goal with rapier is to recreate
the time prior to 1600 A.D. This includes the
dress and the fighting styles of the time. Some
take artistic liberties and expand their enjoyment while
others simply like to fight.
Rapier in the SCA is broken down into 3 major
divisions |
|
|
- Light rapier
- Foil and Epee
- This is not authorized in the kingdom of
Atendveldt activities.
- Heavy rapier
- Standard to Atenveldt Rapier.
- Heavier blade then a foil or Epee.
- This can includes melees that has seen more
then 250 fighters engaged in battle at once.
- Multiple styles can be used
- Single sword (the
best!)
- Two Swords
- Sword and dagger
- Sword and Buckler
(or ridged device)
- Sword and cloak
(or non-ridged device)
- Cut and thrust (more advanced)
- The basic nutshell of this type is that it
includes more advanced cutting techniques. |
