For an artist, I agonize about putting my work out there, especially when it's 'put together a video that represents your overall work'. I've spent months getting this edit to a point where I'm happy with it, so here it is:
My 2025 Showreel!
It's also on my website jackofallblades.co.uk if you want a sneaky look at more stuff about me

The Katana course is taking bookings! This is a more limited course due to availability of the weapon in my armoury, so get deposits in asap. Held in Sheffield, this course is easily accessible to much of the North of England.
Katana will be available for those at advanced level. Standard level will be examined more generically as two handed broadsword. Intermediate will be one handed arming sword, with a focus on the armed grappling techniques you can do with your free hand.
Bookings open at JackofallBlades.co.uk/store
If you have any queries, drop me a line.
I’ll be listing the July knife course soon, so keep an eye out

Next guest announcement!
We're tuning into the creative frequency of Jack Stockdale-Haley — Equity Fight Director, Northern advocate, and the youngest person ever to join the Equity Fight Director Register.
Jack gets honest about the real cost of building a specialist creative career, why he chose to stay rooted in the North, and what he's doing to make his craft more accessible through his Jack of All Blades training courses.
He also opens up about burnout, self-belief, and the work he's doing to push for better industry legislation to protect performers.
This episode is packed with hard-won wisdom, plenty of laughs, and a story involving a suit of armour that you will not want to miss...
Tune in at 6pm Wednesday 27th March on BCB at 106.6FM or through the links in our bio 🎧️
‼️not real fight - professionally choreographed‼️
Round trip to Berlin this weekend. Could only be done with a pair as dedicated as these two! @florianmariasumerauer and @selena.bakalios got all the fundamentals down, and cracked a tricky fight all before 3pm rolled around
Very much looking forward to the shoot

Our second photographer for the winter course - @mandyjamesworks - really capturing the feeling in the room; why we all come away from these events buzzing and needing a little sit down 😂
Thank you again for coming in and documenting our delightful chaos ⚔️🪓
