Renaissance Spanish Rapier, Destreza Comun. Maybe some Italian sources here and there. Studying historical European swordsmanship.
Currently our focus is on the Italian Rapier. SCARS is a member of the HEMA Alliance.

A little light research this evening.
I have not updated this page in a while. We are up and running. We have some new folks, and need to brush up on some foundational stuff. So basic Italian rapier and sabre will be our focus on Sunday evenings. The weather is cooling off which means we should be able to gear up more and get some good bouting at the end of practice again!

I am really impressed with these books.

It's on. This treatise is in Spanish. It isn't even transcribed. It is a direct scan of the original. Just in case Destreza translations were not frustrating enough.

Going further down the theoretical rabbit hole, Godinho Montante Regla 2 but with sword and buckler... Going pretty slow on this as the complexity is much greater.

Pedro Monte says the Montante is the basis for all other weapons. Using that framework here is Godinhos regla 2 with single sword. Narrow hallway or Gally. Sorry for the bad camera work. We are quarantined and it is just a cellphone

Remember, even during the shut down you can be doing solo work. Working on Godinhos Montante Reglas. Regla 2.
Get excited for this weekend's ⏰ change! Why? Sunday we will be back outside practicing Vulgar Spanish 🤺! Weather permitting

Based on one of Pietro Monte's properties of a military commander

"Even if they sometimes win, their victory is the very eve of their downfall. And even if they triumph at times, this may be against inconsequential opponents, for if they have to fight with strong ones, they can never achieve victory. And ultimately, even if they defeat someone today, it is of little value: tomorrow someone else will defeat them. For where slurs are flying, there is no order, and where there is no order there is never enduring victory." — Collectanea Book 1, Chapter 87

A fine way to spend 6 hours on a summer Saturday! Godinho single sword and Montante with Maestro Ton!
