• Biography

  Florian Fortner diligently studies Rapier sources since 2011, focusing on Salvator Fabris’ most excellent work, with the Bolognese fencing tradition as a close second. He only fights with weapons he made himself, which are always too beautiful to be destroyed.

  As a competitive fencer, he routinely scores well in national and international tournaments.
