People in the SCA practice two different types of fighting, representing two styles of fighting practiced in period.
Rattan fighting requires rigid armor and uses rattan to simulate weapons.
The rattan fighter community practices once a week. They meet at 11am on Sunday at Landis Green (right in front of Strozier Library), at FSU.
We welcome one and all to watch and ask questions and perhaps even give it a try!
Rapier fighting requires armor made of tear-resistant fabric and uses unsharpened metal swords as weapons.
The rapier fighting community does not currently practice regularly.
