Rapier Teaching Dossier
Don Lot fences and teaches using techniques derived from historical references. He is mostly focused on Italian styles of the medieval and renaissance periods, but also studies and teaches German rappier and longsword. He loves to teach and is always willing to engage in conversation about fencing technique and application. He regularly attends practices in the downtown area (Lyondemere, Gyldenholt and Angels) but is willing to travel to teach if people wish to arrange a seminar or class with their local group. He can also be found teaching at the Tattershall School of Defence (Long Beach, CA) on Thursday evenings. He currently has a cadre of personal students, but is willing to give advice or assistance to anyone at any event, time providing.
