Hot take: I hate doing rapier fencing

Update: Im realizing im very tired and might’ve just gotten upset about having an off day. Feel free to disregard this post

Update 2: I’ve slept since I posted this, I really was just butt hurt over one person’s opinion and exaggerated my misgivings. Plenty of people in my group have praised the way I do things due to the more nimble nature of it (in particular I’ve found myself very good at parries) I am probably just gonna make a personal decision to disregard the grip advice I was given and just do it the way I was comfortable and doing well with and leave it at that.

I fence with the Renaissance club at the university I go to, which is connected to the local SCA community. I have been trying to enjoy rapier because almost everyone fights exclusively rapier. Was actually enjoying it but then I was told my grip was wrong and that it would hurt my wrist in the long run. Tried the proper way, feels horrible, I had to switch from my dominant hand because it was hurting my wrist to hold it the right way, felt exponentially less fun. I want to do longsword and saber because it is a lot more dynamic and fun, but there are so many rules about having to be proficient in thrusting stuff before I can do anything with cutty things and like, I just wanna have fun, and rapier just isn’t doing it for me.

Technically I could use a longsword or saber in thrusting against the rapiers, but longsword is at such a disadvantage it just wouldn’t be fun and the one guy who knows saber enough to teach it can’t because he injured his arm

This is honestly just a random rant I’m not particularly asking for advice, I mean I’ll take it but don’t feel obligated. I’m not even technically a member of the SCA but it’s the only medieval stuff I have consistent and inexpensive access to in my area (cause the fencing practices with the club are free. College student moment)
