Naturally, you must suspect me to attack with Capa Ferro?
Inigo Montoya: You are using Bonetti’s Defense against me, ah?
Man in Black: I thought it fitting considering the rocky terrain.
Inigo Montoya: Naturally, you must suspect me to attack with Capa Ferro?
Man in Black: Naturally… but I find that Thibault cancels out Capa Ferro. Don’t you?
Inigo Montoya: Unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa… which I have.

I took a rapier class at the Baronial birthday this weekend a class on Capa Ferro from the ground up. It was a practicum by the knowledgeable Lord Donte on the mechanics and theory of rapier fighting from the Cappo Ferro manual. Starting with the feet we worked our way up to the blade then finally the head. I will say stance puts some interesting strain on the back leg. With correct footwork you are place about 80 percent of your weight back there. However this allows you to use that energy to spring forward, with lunges delivered with more force and distance. Cappo Ferro allows you to also recover from an attack quickly with little force. I am looking forward to learn more from Lord Donte and more from Cappo Ferro.
