Bolognese Swordsmanship

Stoccata - Sydney
(sydney.stoccata.org)

This is the WMA / HEMA group that I train with and teach at. Predominately working with British systems, but I'm working on making Italian systems one of the sub-specialties.

Nova Assalto
(www.nova-assalto.com)

This is Steve Reich's group, which also contains his research and interpretation material for Bolognese and Italian rapier swordsmanship. A genuinely nice guy, and he's got a solid approach to Bolognese swordsmanship, even though it's not the same one I take. If you ever get a chance to learn from Steve, I highly recommend you do so!

Illka's stuff
(www.marozzo.com)

Illka is the other Bolognese swordsmanship guy that I recommend. He's in Finland, and he takes a different approach to me for the material. Nice guy, and we had some fun bouting each other at WMAW 2009.

Italian Rapier

Order of The Seven Hearts
(www.salvatorfabris.com)

Tom Leoni's website, with on Bolognese and Italian Rapier swordsmanship. Whilst I don't agree with some of his Bolognese interpretation, his Italian Rapier material is excellent.

Other Groups of Interest

SCA-Rowany
(lochac.sca.org/rowany/)

The other group that I train with and teach at. Primarily I'm teaching Bolognese Swordsmanship on Tuesdays and Italian rapier on Thursdays.

Swordplay School of Theatrical Fencing & Stage Combat
(swordplay.net.au/)

Swordplay is a professional theatrical fencing and stage combat troupe based in Campbelltown with a variety of skill levels ranging from beginners to the performance troupe.

They use a variety of weapons in their performances, and also look at period sources for inspiration. Great bunch of guys, and really switched on students I had a lot of fun teaching Bolognese sword and buckler.

Miscellaneous

My Other website
(members.ozemail.com.au/~rcull)

This is the site where I keep all my non-fencing related material. I do actually have copies of the collated translations for Manciolino and Marozzo available for download from this site.

My Flickr account
(www.flickr.com/photos/46656045@N04/)

My online photos, mostly from snorkelling trips in and around Sydney.

My Youtube Channel
(http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=richardcullinanau)

My uploaded videos, which is where the Bolognese video explanations will go when I've done the filming.

Lochac Fencing
(lochac.sca.org/rapier/)

I actually administer this site, and there are some articles and opinion pieces here that I've not duplicated elsewhere. (See the articles written by ibn Jelal)

gpEasy CMS
(gpeasy.com)

This is the CMS the website is built on, and comes highly recommended. For a one person site this CMS is far easier to use and maintain than Drupal, which is what I used to run the site on.
