I am in Hellsgate (Killeen, Ft Hood). I am no longer able to fight heavy (those darn IED's) but I love the fight so rapier here is come! I took just about all of the introduction to rapier classes </span></span><span style="font-family: 'times
new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">and</span><span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> the various styles offered at Kings College this past weekend. I did learn quite a bit but just enough to get me on the list then impaled on the blade of you skilled fighters. I am not fond of being impaled so now my next step is </span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">where</span><span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> do i learn how to not die in a bloody heap on the field? I know the simple </span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">answer </span><span><span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">don't</span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> get hit but that is
harder when you are fairly skill less. I am close to Bryn Gwlad but </span></span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">sadly</span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> i need to rise at 430am for work. So I will be able to go train and learn hopefully once or twice a month if I am lucky. </span></span></span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>So My question is what can I read on the internet and book form you tube videos drills ect can i read, view and do to work on my lacking skills? I have the basics of combat from my heavy days but I am very eager
to learn and progress. I would LOVE to fight cut and thrust but I also understand it is a advanced part of the sport so I am ready to put in my dues and learn the basics first. </span></span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Thank you for reading this.</span></span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lucas De La Argent</span></span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span><span style="font-family:
