What do period masters tell us about solo training for the rapier? Nicoletto Giganti (1608) tells us to 'train by executing two or three hundred cuts, and just as many roversci, without stopping.' He goes on to say: ' In this manner anyone can parry thrusts, even from three or four opponents, while wounding and keeping the enemy at bay to the full length of their sword, by delivering long, quick, strong and wide cuts.' Sounds good? Let's try it out. :)
(This gets a bit repetitive after the introduction. ;) You can fast forward to 07:50 for some pointers on cutting with the rapier).
A few pointers:
When working on any conditioning drills, such as this, build it up slowly. Perhaps start with 50 cuts and pay attention to key details such as keeping your shoulders down to preserve your structure and keeping your edge aligned with your cuts.
I have space to practice this with a rapier but you can practice the movement indoors with a short dowel or even a wooden spoon.
