About the trainer – Florian Fortner
Florian intensively trains Rapier since 2011, focusing on Salvator Fabris’ most execellent work, and the Bolognese fencing tradition as a close second. He only fights with weapons he made himself, which are always too beautiful to be destroyed. As a competitive fencer, he routinely scores well in national and international tournaments.
