His start: Seeing a medieval fighting demonstration in full armor at a Renaissance festival hooked me into the hobby as an adult.
Teaches: Medieval sword fighting with a variety of weapons (swords, shields, daggers and pikes to name a few); unarmed medieval combat, historical fencing and maritime sword fighting.
Loves: The opportunity to learn, practice and experience something that was lost for hundreds of years. When I perform a maneuver that came from one of the historical sources (especially while wearing historical equipment and clothing), I know that I’m one of the very few people around today who has. What continues to motivate me is being part of the rediscovery of these once-lost martial arts and sharing them with a new generation.
