About this user

I am an Instructor and founder of the Academy of Historical Fencing, a well established western martial arts school in the United Kingdom, running schools in Caerleon, South Wales, and Bristol.

I specialise in Italian Rapier combat, primarily from Ridolfo Capo Ferro, of which I published a translation in 2007 and have run numerous classes around the world, but always researching and developing from other sources.

Also study German longsword, grosse messer, Hutton Sabre and starting smallsword. Always happy to pick up and train or fight with anything, against anything. I won both HEMAC European Rapier Competitions in 2009.

Also co-author of 'Zompoc: How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse', along with Michael Thomas.
