About
My name is Jason Hulott and I am the chief instructor at Canterbury Medieval Combat and Nishimon Dojo. I have been teaching Medieval weapon-based arts for 20 years. I have a main background in Japanese Iaijutsu and Kenjutsu. In the last 7 years I have been teaching European medieval combat, primarily following the martial system of the German tradition.
I am a museum trustee for the Combined Military Services Museum in Maldon, a historical book reviewer for Pen and Sword books. I have also run combat workshops for a range of institutions and worked with authors to make their fictional combat scenes more historically accurate.
More Details
Talks and weaponry handling
I will bring a bunch of medieval weaponry (The Table of Carnage) and will talk about:
- How to become a Knight
- How these weapons were used
- Some of the available sources (Fight books)
- Self defence in the medieval period
There will also be some (safe) weapons handling and a Q and A session. Some of the items we have for handling are ones that normally can only be seen behind glass in a museum, so this is a very unique and fun experience.
Experience time: Flexible
Sword workshop for up to 15 people
I can also offer a full-on sword workshop (which is almost like one of our standard basic classes). Specific content can be discussed.
Experience time: The sword workshops tend to run for 90 mins including a Q and A session.
Notes: Attendees to this event need to be over the age of 13 due to the weight of the swords. No special clothing is required except for close-toed shoes. No protective gear is required as this is a no-contact event.
