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.
