Salvator Fabris' Rapier - What makes it so special?
We will show you what sets Fabris style apart from all those other masters.
Spoiler: it's not just leaning forward! Based on sound and extensive theory he gives us a safe and offensive fencing style for the duel with single sword and side weapons like dagger and cloak. The highlight is of course "resolutely proceeding against the enemy without stopping".
Private Workshops
In addition to the scheduled workshops, the Malta Historical Fencing International Meeting also provides spaces for private workshops and smaller classes. These classes may be requested by the participants and are done by arrangement between the instructor and the participants. Kindly note that a fee may be applicable at the instructor's discretion.
