Rapier Combat is one of the combat forms the SCA offers. If Three Musketeers, Zorro, or other swashbuckling tales inspire you, this is your activity. It is a martial activity which has two categories under it Rapier and Cut and Thrust. All forms have a basic set of rules they all follow, but also have rules specific to that category.<\/div>\n
Gear is supposed to be historically inspired, but concessions are made for safety, price, and other factors.<\/div>\n
This activity is done in many different formats. We have tournaments, where it is one on one fights, Wars where it is a side against a side, and everything in between. At wars, one major event type, there will typically be many different battles throughout the weekend, while tournaments have a variety of formats, some more standard, and some themed or with special rules.<\/div>\n
Here in Wintermist, we have an Rapier Champion<\/a>, who is determined at an event each year.
The rules for Armored Combat can be found at Rapier Combat Rules<\/a>.<\/div>\n
Our practices<\/a> are at a local park and are generally weekly. Check the Meet Ups page for the current time and location. Loaner gear is available if you would like to give it a try.<\/div>\n
