Weapons, Armor, and Training Equipment

Arms and Armor has several excellent weapons which will work very well for Bolognese Swordsmanship. Of note are the Milanese Rapier, the Gustav Vasa Rapier, the Serenissima Rapier, and the Musketeer Rapier (note that despite the name 'rapier', they are quite suitable for Bolognese training). Be sure to get a practice blade for drilling with a partner. For maximum durability, I recommend side sword training blade as its rectangular stands up well to the rigors of hard training. Also of note are the Arms and Armor series of training weapons, including the Side Sword Trainer, and the Spadone Trainer. In addition, Arms and Armor has several shields and bucklers

Darkwood Armory produces excellent weapons for training. Darkwood has a large selection of Sideswords, all of which work very well for Bolognese swordsmanship. In addition, they offer a selection of bucklers and shields which work very well. (Note that no links to specific items are included because of the dynamic nature of the Darkwood website).

New Stirling Arms produces quality and durable wooden weapons. Although all their products are excellent, of special note are their Spadone wasters (two models, contact them for details) and the Italian Side Sword waster, which allows you to finger the ricasso.

Purpleheart Armoury produces quality wooden and leather weapons. Of special note are their leather dussack and their polearms (halberd and pole axe). Also of note is their leather buckler - a necessity if you wish to use a buckler against wooden weapons.
