Here Rose uses the Guard of the Knee, a two-handed rapier guard that seemed to be popular enough in the mid-17th C that several fencing master wrote and ranted about it.

Day 2, we looked at countering Italian fencers, secondaries like rapier & dagger and sword & cloak, and ended with some pedagogy.

Day 1 was all about the fundamentals, looking through a few Destreza sources.

One fencer working on making their feints and real attacks look identical and the other working on reading body language and tells.

Simple Feints or Ain’t game. One fencer feints or straight thrusts. The other tries to read if it’s a feint or real attack. If it’s a feint, the fencer should ignore it. If it’s real, they should parry.
