<hr />
<div>In most kingdoms "light fighter" refers to a fencer or rapier fighter.<br />
However, in [[Lochac]] the term is used to describe [[combat]] [[engineer]]s, [[Banner Bearer|banner bearer]]s, [[scout]]s, missile combatants (such as [[archer]]s). They are also frequently referred to as ''lights'', due to them often having less [[armour]] than [[heavy fighter]]s. <br />
<br />
Unlike heavies, lights don't do [[melee]] combat with [[rattan]] [[weapon]]s. Hence, they have less of a need for more than the [[minimum armour]]. For this reason, they must be clearly distinguished from heavy fighters during [[mixed battles]], so their [[helm]]ets bear either a large fluorescent triangle or a clearly visible [[plume]]. [[Lochac]] favours the plume method.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Fencing''', otherwise known as the Art of Defence, is a form of [[sword]]-fighting that became popular in late [[period]]. With the rise of the [[musket]], heavy [[Plate Armour|plate armour]] became almost useless and was shed by some in exchange for light armour and light weaponry such as the [[rapier]] - which were quick and effective.<br />
<br />
==Fencing in the SCA==<br />
The [[SCA]] has a number of fencing groups, that mainly teach the heavier, more realistic fighting styles of [[rapier]] or [[cut & thrust]] (as opposed to the sport-like modern forms of fencing that use[[epee]] or [[Fencing Foil| foil]]). Some [[kingdom]]s allow modern equipment to be used, but others, [[Lochac]] included, favour [[reproduction rapier]]s, practice [[schlager]]s or [[fibreglass rapier]]s.<br />
<br />
SCA fencing allows people to move around freely rather than the simply forward-backwards movement of modern sports-fencing, and it is not limited only to thrusts. The rules allow the tip and the side of the weapon to be used for thrusts, Push and draw cuts, tip cuts and blade grabbing. Cut & Thrust allows even more techniques. <br />
<br />
There are a number of fencing styles available to learn, most often used are:<br />
* Single [[rapier]]<br />
* [[Cloak and dagger]]<br />
* [[Rapier case]] (a pair of matched rapier)<br />
* Rapier and [[Rapier shield|shield]]<br />
* Rapier and [[Rapier parrying gauntlet|parrying gauntlet]]<br />
* Rapier and [[baton]]<br />
<br />
The [[Guild of Defence]] is an official Lochac [[guild]], and stands to promote the art throughout the kingdom. [[Tournament]]s are held at regular intervals, one of the most interesting and fun being the [[Rapier - Queens glove of courtesy|Queen's glove of courtesy]] held at the [[Rowany Festival]] (where we get to see interesting styles such as "rapier and song" vs "rapier and satyrical verse").</div>67.65.25.235https://cunnan.lochac.sca.org/index.php?title=Side_sword&diff=15429Side sword2006-04-03T01:30:00Z<p>67.65.25.235: </p>
