I don't know of a group studying Fabris specifically, but this was just too beautiful to ignore:

Mmmm, lovely.

I think they're Czech, but the interpretation is beautiful regardless. Lots of single times and really good use of disengagement. Worth watching for anyone interested in pre-linear fencing.

Tom Leoni at Order of the Seven Hearts studies Fabris extensively.

Ah, yeah I kind of meant in New Zealand.

Loved the footwork.

Obviously designed to showcase the single moves, but how would they work from in conjunction with each other?

(meaning everything looked lovely, but at the point of making the main attack, said attacker appeared to be in a spot of bother if he botched it. Specifically in terms of balance, guard and range.)

Naturally, not referring to every movement. The ability to safely disengage and return to ready (or defend, continue attack) in others was obvious.

Ya. Pick the guy who's never studied a single jot of Fabris before. Unless Douglas or Callum taught me and never mentioned it's origin.

Fabris is one of the major sources I work on for Italian rapier.

Right now we're slowly building the agility and endurance to perform Fabris, so it is still very much a work in progress (doing it one night a week doesn't make swift progress).

There were some interesting ideas in the clip. I'd personally do most of the techniques differently, but then difference of opinion can be useful

And a challenge.

Nice clip.
