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
Rapier practice is now indoors until next summer at Olivet Congregational Church, 1850 Iglehart Ave, St. Paul MN, 55104.This is the site we used last year. Practices will be at our regular time, 7-9pm. Doors open at 6:45 so we can get started at 7. We must be out of the space by 9:00 p.m. sharp. If you have any questions, you can contact the Nordskogen Rapier Marshal, Lord Yagüe Antolínez, at: rapier@nordskogen.org
