Torre de Hercules 2025 - Rapier Sparring - Federico Ronchi vs Rui Ferreira

Start of a new week also means resuming the uploads, and continuing with the Torre de Hercules HEMA Gathering playlist, this time we bring you Federico Ronchi from Ars Histórica taking up rapier against Rui. "I can't say I'm surprised to see an Italian fencer doing Marozzo, but I'm maybe a little more intrigued that Federico was just taking up rapier by the time this bout happened. I was always curious about going up against an Italian fencer, this was my first time actually, and I'm glad to have finally had the chance to fence not only Federico but also Gabriele, more on him later. I could write a whole dissertation on both of them and how welcoming they were but in this case I'll just let the fencing do the talking." - Rui See you all tomorrow for another video, stay tuned for more to come from this event!
