DEMO: Alfieri’s Rapier & Cloak Guards

It’s Cloaktober! This month marks the third year of celebrating the use of the cloak with the rapier. While the Boston Academie d’Armes group class is focusing on Fabris’s cloak, I wanted to do a post on how another Italian fencing master approached the cape — Francesco Alfieri. As always, I see interpretations of living documents that can change over time with new info and insight. I’m always happy to hear about folk’s own interpretations and the like. You can dive a little deeper into Alfieri’s sword & cloak guards over at my blog. ---- DONATIONS: If you found this video useful or interesting, please consider a small donation so I can continue to produce rapier & other historical martial arts content.
