Lochac Fencing

There have been several Addenda made to v3.0 of the Lochac Rapier Rules.

A copy of the Addenda can be downloaded from the Rapier Rules Page, or you can download the Addenda directly.

This Addenda is to be read in conjunction with the current Lochac Rapier Rules.

A number of changes have been made to the Lochac Rapier Combat Rules.  In summary, those changes are:

1. Addition of rules governing the use of "Pole Weapons", i.e. pikes and other long-handled weapons.
2. Update of the rules for permitted blades and the blade flexibility test to current Society rules.
3. Update of mask/helm requirements and addition of new padding requirements as required by Society.
4. Addition of the ability for Rapier Marshals in Charge to use Rapier Combatants to supervise combat.
5. Prohibition against grasping opponents equipment in order to clarify the rules and close a possible gap.

Please familiarise yourself with these changes.
