ST - Youth Rapier Fighter Practice

[Valentyn]

Hello Steppes,

Just want to add one thing to Anastasiia's post: The parent of a youth
rapier
fighter *must* be present for the youth to actually fight.  Young people may
do non-combative drills (footwork, point control, etc) without Mom or Dad
there, but actual combat requires that the legal guardian be present.

Also, Benedict Ashton has kindly donated three foils to the Steppes Youth
Rapier equipment.  They're in my possession at the moment, but I'll be
getting
them to Anasasiia ASAP.  Thanks, Benedict!

Valentyn
