I have to agree with SwordAndBuckler, there weren't many "rapier" techniques there. Remember the cone of defense. There didn't seem to be many period blocks in your fight. I'd suggest putting some money down for some schlagers. They're almost exactly like the period weapons and you guys would have more fun using them, I guarantee

Rapier usually covers from just lighter than a sidesword, to just larger than a smallsword. The term "rapier" was never actually used during the renaissance by the fencing masters who developed the weapon. The classification generally includes both point only weapons, or estocs, and ones with double edges for part or all of their length, but historians like to argue, so definitions vary somewhat.

[SwordAndBuckler]

During the Renaissance rapier only referred to the later virtually edgeless sword used in foyne fencing. It was a purely civilian dueling weapon. The slightly earlier sidesword/cut-and-thrust sword was a military blade adapted for civilian use. Such swords were never called rapiers during the times when they were being used. Although they are now often mislabeled as such in many museums.

Historically "rapier" is a very broad category, which includes both some of the early cut and thrust weapons and later era point only weapons with no edges at all. It's about as broad as the sabre classification, the difference being that a rapier has two edges and a sabre has one.
