1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,140
Yeah , yeah . 

3
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,500
Then I come to you . So rape . Your 

4
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:22,500
combat art is a subset of the 

5
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:25,340
historical european martial arts of 

6
00:00:25,350 --> 00:00:27,640
sword play . And in particular in this 

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,800
case it is the Rapier , which is a 

8
00:00:30,810 --> 00:00:32,810
you've ever seen a three musketeers 

9
00:00:32,810 --> 00:00:34,977
movie . Those are the types of weapons 

10
00:00:34,977 --> 00:00:36,977
it was used , it was used primarily 

11
00:00:36,977 --> 00:00:39,640
through the renaissance period . The 

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,751
type of competitions that I have been 

13
00:00:41,751 --> 00:00:43,862
in and competed in have been all over 

14
00:00:43,862 --> 00:00:46,196
the world . But when it comes to Rapier , 

15
00:00:46,196 --> 00:00:48,418
that is my , my specialty , my greatest 

16
00:00:48,418 --> 00:00:50,196
strength . And I've competed in 

17
00:00:50,196 --> 00:00:52,029
tournaments in Minsk , Belarus , 

18
00:00:52,029 --> 00:00:54,251
Gothenburg Sweden . I have competed all 

19
00:00:54,251 --> 00:00:56,140
over the United States , wherever 

20
00:00:56,140 --> 00:00:58,307
there's been tournaments is ultimately 

21
00:00:58,307 --> 00:01:00,529
where I will go if I haven't been there 

22
00:01:00,529 --> 00:01:04,340
already , it definitely helps you with 

23
00:01:04,340 --> 00:01:06,229
your self discipline , the mental 

24
00:01:06,229 --> 00:01:08,290
discipline . It is helpful in the 

25
00:01:08,290 --> 00:01:10,512
leadership , It teaches you how to lead 

26
00:01:10,512 --> 00:01:12,512
others when it comes to just in the 

27
00:01:12,512 --> 00:01:14,623
teaching , when it comes to having to 

28
00:01:14,623 --> 00:01:16,623
teach others . That is definitely a 

29
00:01:16,623 --> 00:01:18,512
separate skill set than the sword 

30
00:01:18,512 --> 00:01:20,623
fighting itself . But over the course 

31
00:01:20,623 --> 00:01:22,734
of learning , you definitely learn to 

32
00:01:22,734 --> 00:01:22,440
teach others . Which has been 

33
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,551
tremendously helpful when it comes to 

34
00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:26,384
being a squadron commander , for 

35
00:01:26,384 --> 00:01:29,750
example , in being able to lead , I 

36
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,170
just absolutely love the creativity 

37
00:01:32,170 --> 00:01:34,300
that it allows for that free form 

38
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:37,060
movement of two independent weapons 

39
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,496
moving independently of each other . 

40
00:01:39,496 --> 00:01:41,662
But yet at the same time in concert in 

41
00:01:41,662 --> 00:01:43,607
order to take down your opponent's 

42
00:01:43,607 --> 00:01:43,260
defenses
