  • Where are you based out of? I've been learning stage combat in Chicago.

  • @zarkov66 sorry you missed a word from the title, "stage" combat, meaning blunt wepons no intention of harm, not trained to actully kill anyone, or even proper fencing, stage combat is designed to make the fight look real, not actully be real,

  • Nothing beats two girls fighting with swords LOL!! EPIC!!!

  • Lots of you guys are best at critisizing. Those girls will whip ur butts any time.

    Her sabre will cut through ur straw, sorry "fencing sabre" and lame like slicing a cake. Its 2 pounds of sharp steel coming at you. You will likely be running faster than rubbit after her first cut.

    Keep it up girls and have fun :)

  • I want to touch myself

  • Different en gardes? Lol, it's just called a guard.

  • ugh... way way too many faults. aside from the cut to her two. its pretty good. but pointing at her isnt on point. your pointing at a specific area. but meh. its a free video lesson on youtube. cant expect perfection.

  • those arent sabers. they are fencing foils with saber hilts. and as much as i've seen, its not rapier combat, its fencing.

  • omfg if ur going to fence with rapiers then use rapiers... i've nothing against sabers, but seriously... get it right. plus ur voice is so annoying... it kills my ears

  • It's a tutorial, that's why they going so slow... :)

    It's not supposed to be realistic but to make us understand the moves. And that's also why we don't care about the weapons.

    I don't really know rapier techniques, so if you can me a better tutorial, I would be grateful ^^
