Sword and Buckler Instructor: Rory Merrall-Wyre
Rory has a wide variety of sporting and martial arts background. These include rugby, hockey and Lau Gar Kung Fu. In addition, he competed as a Body Builder for five years, reaching the British finals twice. He has since adapted his workouts to aid his HEMA activities. Consequently, Rory is a firm believer in strength and fitness training as a compliment to sword play and, furthermore, that all Martial Arts have common traits applicable throughout.
Rory first started HEMA in 2011, primarily Bolognese Sword and Buckler, and took up Rapier and Dagger in 2013. He has competed at Swordfish every year since 2012.
In 2019, Rory represented the United Kingdom and Eire region at the HEMA demonstration competition at the European Games in Minsk.
