If the vaccine is widely available in time, RASP 2021 will be held May 6-10. We hope to have another announcement regarding safety measures and the feasibility of holding an in-person event by the end of February.
The Rapier and Saber Pedagogy retreat is an intensive fencing instructor’s seminar focusing on the use of historical weapons, particularly the rapier and saber. Our curriculum is based on traditional Italian pedagogy, and our format closely follows that of Sonoma State University’s Fencing Certificate Program. Our four-day, four-night retreat will feature morning and afternoon sessions of guided group lessons, interspersed with lecture and discussion on the underlying theory and methodology of Italian fencing. Registration will be limited to 20 participants.
We will be returning to Camp Mikkel, a retreat and conference center about 2 hours north of Atlanta. More images and details are available at http://campmikell.com/. We will be staying in the upper cottages.
