Where abouts in CT are you? I am often up visiting my inlaws' place in Southbury a number of times each year for long weekends and would enjoy hooking up for some sparring those weekends.

Rod;

I really appreciate the offer, but I am a long ways from being ready to do any sparring. I doubt it would be very much fun for you. I am looking for basic instruction.

Cheers.
Richard

Our school in Willimantic offers rapier.

I'm afraid I may have mislead Richard. Our school does offer sport fencing, including rapier. I does not have Italian rapier fencing. As a WMA, we concentrate in German longsword. I'm sorry for the confusion.
