Also would rapier or longsword treatises work like I know they are completely different its like comparing earth to Jupiter but is there any benefit to learn other weapon techniques if I only plan to focus on one?
Edit: i meant La Pointe
Thanks Everyone!!!
Help, where do I find the other weapons? I had no idea I was missing out!

If so, pretty fascinating that unarmed martial arts were derived from weapon martial arts. You'd think it would be the other way around.
Edit: By early I meant the 1700s-1800s era.
I often hear people say that sideswords and rapier are the same thing, does the same apply to smallsword, is it just a rapier?
I have seen at at least one early 18th century source that refers to thier smallsword system as rapier.
title.
What the title says
Sorry if this is an odd question.
Essentially, how similar in movement were they? Could a talented smallsword fencer transition with ease to rapier, and vice versa?
Online, I'm seeing some contradictory information about how long a smallsword should be relative to one's height.
On the one hand, the thought that 27-33 inch blades represent a "normal" range based on historical examples, with some outliers. On the other hand, the thought that blade length should increase proportional to height to a greater degree, such that someone 6 feet tall should have, say, a 36 inch blade or more.
Any thoughts from the practitioners here?
Hey everyone! I've been doing some searching for a group in my area that plays smallsword. I'm super interested in learning it, but I can't find anyone that plays. Any suggestions?
I've searched in YouTube smallsword basics and got very little results. Does anyone know a channel that teaching and explaining smallsword?
I just got hold of a Practice smallsword and I want to learn straight from the sources (with the help of modern fencing basics) so what sources are the easiest and most interesting to look at?
I like the one Cold Steel had but I'm having difficulty finding it for sale online. Any other good options?
I know why a foot shot would generally not be something you'd learn historically speaking, because it sounds like a bad idea all around. You'd have to read your opponent very carefully, and one wrong move and you're dead, with the upside being at most having landed a small thrusting attack to their foot. Bad in a fight to the death, and riskier than a thousand other moves in a duel to first blood.
I don't buy the "you'd always get hit with the afterblow" after a toe touch because, honestly, a properly done foot shot can be done in a way that your opponent won't attack you back either because they are afraid of a counter, pure mindgames, or just because you caught their front foot as they were retreating and the distance wasn't there. I've done this in rapier practice a few times and it's really fun, but only when screwing around because I honestly can't justify it in a proper gameplan and I don't think it would be allowed in most tournaments(and even if it were, I don't think it would be one of my top shots).
That said, I do buy that foot shots are--despite sometimes being safe--absurdly risky and honestly just not worth considering, especially in a historical scenario.
That said I've stumbled upon a lot of things in sports fencing that I was shocked to see had some historical precedence, even if it didn't catch on with the 'mainstream' back then (bouncing, for one, arguably fleches, and people complaining about flicks even before electric scoring just had me laughing a lot) so I wouldn't be surprised if there was some historical mention about this.
I'm located in eastern Canada, I'm not quite sure what options are best.
I have a friend who is curious about both HEMA and fencing. I asked them if they were interested in studying smallsword and they said that they think they are too tall. Maybe this is in comparison to myself (I'm almost a foot shorter than them) but I do wonder if they have a point or if they just weren't willing to admit they aren't interested.
