Rapier Class Title: From Down Here: Longsword Fighting for the Fun-Sized
Teacher: Lord Atreus Lofus
Time: 1pm-2pm
Where: Rapier List (half the list will be open for pickups)Height is not the deciding factor in a fight—control of distance, tempo, and line is. This class focuses on longsword strategies that allow shorter fighters to dictate engagement and disrupt the comfort zone of taller opponents. We will cover guard choice, closing angles, defense while advancing, pressure-based fighting, and how to turn your opponent’s reach into a liability. Open to all skill levels; masks optional, bring a Longsword if you have one but it is not required
