RASP 2023 Rapier Lesson - Kevin and Brad
This is a demonstration lesson given at RASP 2023 with Maestro Kevin Murakoshi teaching Instructor Brad Cramer. Kevin was asked to teach the same lesson that participants had just worked through in a group as an individual lesson with an emphasis on dynamic movements and non-verbal cues. This was intended to be contrasted against the same lesson that Maestro Charles Dobbs gave focusing on giving verbal commands and emphasizing technical execution.

great drill and nice example of dynamic coaching
This was a fun lesson. Thanks again!

This was great. Thanks!
Can also confirm it works in sparring.
You have way too few likes. Have mine.
This is helpful for a beginner like me. Thank you. I appreciate the bite-size lessons and the at-speed demos really make it a lot more comprehensible.
Grandpa teach me rspier since I was 6 but without the salutations,just a very strong glove when not using a dagger and the rapier
Transcript: In this video we are going to talk about the rapier, how to hold the rapier, and the hand positions. So, first off, we’ll take a look at the rapier. As you can see, the rapier is divided into two parts. You have the guard and the blade. The blade consists of the point and true edge, which is on the same side of the knuckle guard, the false edge, and the ricasso. It’s this little part of the blade that comes back into the guard. You’ll put your finger and your thumb on this and feel the sensations along the blade. Now this guard is a fairly complex guard. You can see there’s some extra hand protection here. At its core, it consists of these elements: the grip, the pommel, and the quillions. If we see the blade being held, you can see it’s like a handshake. Your grip is light and relaxed. Your thumb is on one side and your finger is on the other side. So, now lets take a look at the hand positions. So, if David stands as if he’s going to draw his sword from his scabbard, he can show you the primary hand positions and the secondary hand positions. This is the first hand position. It’s called first hand position. It’s a primary position, and you can see that the quillions go straight up and down. If he were to rotate until the quillions were flat, he would be in second hand position. If he were to keep rotating until they are up and down again, he would be in third hand position. Finally, when the quillions are flat and his palm is up, this is fourth hand position. Those are the primary hand positions. We also make a lot of use of secondary hand positions. The half-way-in-between ones. There’s third-in-fourth - a way for David to align his true edge against the other person’s blade. And second-in-third, which is halfway between second and third. You also have the intermediate or secondary position of first-in-second where the true edge is pointing up and to the outside. Those are the primary and second hand positions, how to hold the rapier, and the parts of the rapier.
Lefties have an advantage that often has nothing to do with their skill.
Thanks?
Hey, David, are you rolling your foot there??? Just wondering. :) Not that's we're discussing this in chat RIGHT NOW... :)
*ROLL FILM!!!*
My fencing instructor (MSU Bozeman MT, 1985) disarmed me by hitting my foil blade and wrapping it and then flinging it out of my hand where it fell clear across the basketball-court & the guard rang like a bell on the free-throw line. He used the flexibility of his blade like it was Jackie Chan. Watching my sword go flying was worth the student loans.
Is it possible to avoid a disarm?
I'm a little bothered by the idea of grabbing a Rapier's blade......what if the owner keeps it sharpen? There must have been a lot of hand therapy clinics back in the day........
Beautiful plays.
Fantastic work here! Thank you for sharing this. I'm going to use this with a saber. Keep up the great work.
Excellent Video. But that will only Work If your opponent does Not Switch to 4. In that Case He would thrust
Not much different from modern fencing lessons.
Stop hit with opposition Attack with opposition
Not much different from a standard modern fencing lesson.
Did Pascha ever give a specific lenght for the rapier he uses?
Awesome explanation thanks for sharing
Great work form this channel!
Good work!
Great stuff gents! I have not read that text, but these lessons seems to cover a lot more cutting actions than other rapier manuals from early or mid 1600's. Some of the actions remind me of later dueling/classical sabre.
Thank you so much. I've been reading the Leoni and Kirby translations, and I just couldn't get my head around it. Seeing it in action makes SO much more sense.
Practice makes good and good practice makes perfect. These moves seem to be purely for establishing habits in combat that you can rely on. However, when your opponent is just standing there, waiting to be run through, it's difficult to grasp how these things actually work. Evenly paired, your opponent will defend in any way he or she can and you'll have to recover and deal with that. You-tube is great for spurring on interest but, at some point, you need to pick up a sword and start practicing I guess. Time to start shopping.
This was great
Also I was wonder if you guys are going to go over his grappling section, I find his unarmed section pretty interesting, it would be nice to see you guys performing it.
Hahaha what a pointless exercise, we all know rapier's can't cut. They should know the only sword made to cut ever was the katana , all other swords tried to copy this a failed , so trying to cut with anything other then a katana is pointless. Here I thought u guys where the experts Geez Louise.
High Master Johannes Liechtenauer thanks I try
good for me, thanks a lot.
thank you for sharing it! X 100
Excellent series of rapier videos. Keep going on!
Gents - wanted to thank you for creating and posting these videos. I find them to be very good sources for general SCA combat (post period, but the style really translates well to our game). Bravo - M. Mateo.
One comment regarding fencer from the left side. His sword is to far from right fencer when he does cuts. In such situation there is no need to do the guards because cut doesn't make sence. So in general distance need to be shorter when doing cuts.
I like this practice.
She got a thicc patoot.
Спасибо!
I think I prefer the work of Salvator Fabris, but there is much similarity given they are both forms of Italian fencing.
nice crisp cuts! what kind of sabers do you use?
These were both antiques. For general practice, I have a pair from Darkwood, but I'm told Castille has a really nice sabre available now.
i think top views would be better than side views so we can see inside and outside lines
Some steps are simple and effective. Sam doing so.
Very nice! thanks!
