"Rapier Workshop"
with Master of Defense Niccolo Falconetto
The visiting Master of Defense instructor is Master Niccolo Falconetto.
Il Magnifico, Niccolo Falconetto, OL, OD, OWS, Order of the Saltire (Kingdom teaching award)
Niccolo (mka Ernesto Maldonado) has studied rapier in the SCA since 1988, and was one of the first group to start attempting to apply historical manuals to SCA rapier in Ansteorra. He has taught at numerous Kingdom and Known World Academies of the Rapier as well as in non-SCA contexts. An active student of Western Martial Arts with the Acme School of Defense in Minneapolis, he has actively studied the works of Capoferro, Fabris, DiGrassi, Dall’Agocchie, and Spanish Destreza along with Classical Italian Fencing. Additionally, he has been involved with Commedia dell’Arte and has directed Commedia troupes at multiple Renaissance Festivals in Texas and Minnesota.
We are planning for a 2-3 hour class block in the morning, break for lunch, and then 1-2 hours for open field instructions.
Don't miss the chance to learn from Il Magnifico!
