Historical Fencing
Having been interested
in history and sword for most of my life and it was only a natural progression
for me to become interested in the current revival of historical martial
arts. I started training in medieval Longsword in 1997 either using original
text or publications written by fellow enthusiasts. In addition my background
in fencing helped considerably towards understanding the sword technique.
This study went on look at sword and buckler, dagger and wrestling. Eventually
this lead to the formation of medieval martial arts group in 2002.
I am the Master of a group studying Medieval fighting techniques, for
more information please go to the Messengers
website
I have also run part-time courses in various subjects from Medieval
Longsword to Stage-fighting at the local college.
