Stu is a lifelong martial artist with experience in a number of styles of armed and unarmed fighting. He taught and practiced various styles at the home branch before opening his first branch of Stoccata in 2014.
Stu’s areas of study are longsword, rapier, sidesword, smallsword, and sabre.
Stu is a passionate student of modern evidence-based training design which places the student and their performance in the game ahead of all other considerations.
Practice is not made up of rote drills, or worse rehearsed patterns, practice involves taking slices of the game and focusing attention in areas that need work via the (video link) Constraints Led Approach.
Stu coaches and runs practice at the Baulkham Hills and Strathfield branches.
