Making Rapier Drills Better, Episode 1: The Wall Stabbing Drill
A popular fencing drill among the rapier community, especially in SCA Rapier circles, is the Wall Stabbing Drill. This is where a fencing student spends mindless minutes extending their arm and thrusting at a target against a wall. Sadly, they’re not learning anything super useful.
However, we can transform this exercise into a drill that helps us and our rapier students learn an important aspect of Italian rapier -- measure. By adding measure (see: distance) into this drill, we learn to use the right attack for the right measure as well as how to attack in good sequence.
