As an armored combatant he has participated in numerous HEMA tournaments east of the Rockies in the United States and Canada. Bruce joined the club shortly after its founding and has been part of the training team for the last decade.
Like our other instructors, he has had the opportunity to work with many of the modern day experts in the field.
