Parts of the SCA does rapier combat as well, (That would be fencing to
the=
out side world, BTW).
Sortof, it's a mutant form of fencing, i.e. non-lin=
ear. Something I would like to try, but most SCA fighting is severly biased=
toward the extremly large people.
There are three types of fencing: Foil=
, which uses a straight, square in cross section blade and uses only the to=
rso as a target area; Epee', which uses a heavier, triangular cross section=
blade with the entire upper body as a target area; and Sabre, which uses a=
slightly curved blade (not sure of the cross section) and uses the entire =
body as a target for legal hits.
As to SCA, I saw a guy who was five foot=
nothing fighting Florentine style (two weapons) take out four opponents by=
himself.
