Rapier & Broadsword Stage Combat Workshop

Led by accomplished fight director Guy Roberts (member of the Society of American Fight Directors), this class will teach safe and disciplined basic rapier and broadsword stage fighting techniques. The workshop will culminate with a student performance of stage combat choreography directed by Roberts. Participants should bring a pair of light gloves (leather or batting gloves preferred), must wear comfortable clothing and be ready to break a sweat. Students may bring their own rapier and/or broadsword provided the weapon is combat-worthy. The instructor will make final determination regarding the weapon(s) and no weapon(s) not approved by the instructor will be allowed in the workshop. Practice swords provided by instructor. 

Space is limited so make reservations early.
