Spanish Rapier (“La Verdadera Destreza”)

Lord Hob

Spanish rapier ("La Verdadera Destreza") can be extremely intimidating for newcomers. While there are an increasing number of Destreza texts available in English these days, it can be difficult to know where to start and how the written material relates to what we actually do in practice. This class is intended as an approachable and fun introduction to the key concepts behind this unique school of fencing. There will be no math and a bare minimum of terminology. No equipment is required, we'll use Nerf foam swords for the drills and demonstrations. Participants will walk away with an understanding of core ideas of Destreza, the feel of the system, and how it actually works in SCA context.
