@MossMaskface As far as I know, in any "real" Fight the action would have lasted no more than a few Seconds, in general. The Idea on epic and Long Fights between two People is mostly made up by Films and Movies. An those usually depict Sieges of a Castle as a Matter of Hours, at most days, whils in Reality they usually lasted for Week, Moths, Years.

@SorenityVids As far as I know, Rapiers almost always had sharp blades and were also used for cutting Blows. The later Smallswords tended to be more often pure thrusting-Weapons. And as late as the End of the 18th Centuries, some Fencing-Masters included Cutting-Techniques. I find it difficult to say "fencing was like this or that." It heavily depended on the School your in and the Fencingmaster.

SHIELD BASH.

are you allowed to hit the other person with the buckler?
Also the dude wasn't using the rapier, actually reminds me of an arming sword or an estoc.

@SorenityVids Can't rapiers bind and wind as well (or at least just wind)? Certainly this is recreation, but it is also fencing, even if they are cut-and-thrust swords.

@tcreeley How is it not fencing?

On the left is John Clements, the director of ARMA, using a Cut & Thrust sword with a dagger to face an ARMA Senior Free Scholar using a short sword with a buckler.

@aerik9 Trust me. As a fencer and a Renaissance swordsmanship enthusiast, I can tell you that this is only a recreation. BTW, these are cut-and-thrust swords, not rapiers. Rapiers can only make thrusting actions.
