Marcus Byron

Co-founder and Head of College

Originally taught a little sabre and sport fencing when young (largely because his favourite film was Errol Flynn's Robin Hood) Marcus picked up his first longsword in 2004. Instantly taken with the efficency and adaptability of the weapon, not to mention the flowing biometric nature of the strikes, the longsword has become his passion. Marcus has a Cert IV in Training and Assessment.
