Hakkai hides his snicker politely behind a hand, turns into a one shoulder forward, feet shoulder-width apart stance, shifts his weight to his back foot and lunges forward again.]
This isn't a fencing stance, but I don't fence. It's just a stable stance. For the extra distance, use your back leg to propel yourself forward, like so.
[He steps back and lunges again.]
With a rapier, you will mostly want to stab or draw-cut, not slash. In other words, keep the point aimed at your opponent, don't flourish it around.
