Talks · Historical combat consultancy · Research

Medieval history you can pick up and hold.

I’m Jason Hulott: a published historian and practising swordsman with nearly 30 years of training across European and Japanese traditions. I give talks that bring the past into the room, and I help screen, games and publishing teams get their fights right.

About

Historian by research. Swordsman by practice.

Most historians read about swords. Most swordsmen don’t read the sources. I do both, and my published research is tested against what actually works with a weapon in hand.
