HL Seamus MacDonald of Skye has offered to run a Youth Rapier session! This will be held on Saturday in the YAC area. Youth are encouraged to practice with others or even discover this discipline for the first time!
Youth must wear protection (see below) and be accompanied at all times by an adult guardian with a properly signed medical waiver and be able to sign a single use combat waiver. Youth Rapier Authorization cards are not required to participate, but there will be an opportunity to have one issued during this session.
Protection:
1. The entire torso, (including the chest, back, abdomen, groin, and sides up to and including the armpits) must be covered with abrasion-resistant material. (Cloth that won’t tear when snagged by an unbroken blade or other normal combat stresses.)
2. All fighters must protect their groin area with extra layers of clothing or equivalent padding. Fencers with male anatomy are strongly recommended to wear a youth athletic cup or equivalent rigid groin protection.
