Meet the Instructors



Matt T



Lead Instructor



Matt has been training with swords for over 10 years. He has a background in sabre fencing and focuses on British sabre and the works of Fiore. Enjoys exploring the manuscripts and being able to put the techniques into action



Sascha S



Lead Instructor (he/him)



Sascha has been training with swords in various settings for 25+ years. Still can't get it out of his system. Approaches his lessons with high energy and maximum effort. Believes in training sustainably and empowering the individual.



Anna C



Lead Instructor



Anna has been training HEMA for 7 years, specialising in early Lichtenauer Longsword including tournament participation and visiting clubs across Europe. This has built her strong belief that there is no single, correct answer to any (sword related) question.



Cameron F



Lead Instructor



Voice of fitness and conditioning wisdom. Old hand on the mat, spending a surprising amount of time on the ground for a swordsman.



Emiliano R



Assistant Instructor



Traveller, adventure seeker, man of many swords. Fond of diagonal footwork, not so fond of throwing a curriculum together...



Volunteers & Committee Members



Tony E



The Face of Facebook



Our dedicated people person, morale officer, social media guru and organiser of splendid pub evenings.




Arlo Rees



Accessibility Advocate (they/them)



I’m transmasculine, a proud introvert, and I am a little obsessed with Dungeons & Dragons. I’m here to listen to our members, hear what they need, feed that back to the leadership of the club and push for solutions. Feel free to message me on discord or catch me in person at one of our sessions (I’m usually there on Tuesdays).
