While the Olympic sport comes to mind for many, the SCA sport involves 360 degree motion for combatants. Our Rapier Captain can loan gear for people to get a taste of this classic martial art. Participants of all genders learn modern and historical fencing techniques at our weekly gathers (yes, the “Capoferro technique!” is a real thing). Participants aged fourteen to seventeen will need a legal guardian in the training space at all times.
Rapier Practice
Our winter practices are indoors from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at Olivet Congregational Church, 1850 Iglehart Ave, St. Paul MN 55104. Doors open at 6:45 pm so we can get started at 7 pm. Loaner gear is available, come on by! If you have any questions, you can contact the Nordskogen Rapier Marshal, Dona Alianor Rowan, at: rapier@nordskogen.org or message her on Facebook at Emily Rasely.
