“I had the pleasure of working with Jack on several projects. I know him as a fight director, fight performer and teacher. Every single one of those occasions was incredibly rewarding and I walked away with a little more knowledge and understanding of stage/screen combat, as well as historical trivia on the style of fighting I had just engaged in. His practical knowledge of ancient manuscripts and handbooks allows him to draw from all these sources to tailor his choreography to the individual fighter and the specifics of the story told within the fight. As a fight performer I felt positively pushed to deliver my best and always supported and safe, as well as encouraged to make suggestions based on my study of the character. I have also seen Jack work with actors with little or entirely without stage combat skills and saw how he made them feel comfortable and adjusted the choreography to their ability and strength, whilst still keeping story telling as the main objective.”

“Jack is a very clever, brilliant young Fight Director I have had the privilege of making a movie with. He is a talent to watch.”

“The standard of your kit was outstanding and I thought that your fight choreography and performances were excellent.”

“Jack has been teaching workshops in Stage Combat at Swordpunk for a few years now and he has always been a pleasure to work with.

His professional, friendly style has made it one of our much loved activities.”

“Great guy, great hair”

“Jack's knowledge and understanding, not only of a wide variety of weapons systems and fighting styles, but of how to work with a variety of performers is extraordinary. He has a fantastic way of working with each performer and making each fight a collaborative process. He challenged me without ever making me feel discouraged, and made me feel comfortable to ask for help if I needed it. He also made himself available to us for extra rehearsals at short notice, and for choreographic and even stylistic queries. Jack put together fun choreography that managed to suit a variety of needs and styles, and fostered a safe space within which to learn, rehearse and perform. I felt safe, heard, and respected, and would work with Jack again any time!”

(Regarding knife stage combat course, July 2023)

“A fun and exciting course that really helps you get a sweat on. After completing the unarmed course I was nervous about using weapons but thanks to the instructors I felt safe and confident. I can't wait for the sword course in October!”

“The most reliable teacher i've worked with, and easy to get along with”

“Jack is exactly the kind of choreographer you want. Not only does he have a grounding and vast knowledge in various martial arts disciplines; he works tirelessly with you as an actor to get to know your style, your strengths, your weaknesses, in order to utilise the very best of his actors.

Jack understands that every punch, grapple, sword swing etc tells a story, there is a story and character reason for every movement. This is why he produces superior fight scenes, and why I love working with him.”

“I worked with Jack on a feature film project and he was excellent in the special effects and fight coordination. Very professional, very detailed and follows the correct processes and safety procedures.

I had full confidence in him and I hope to work with him again in the future.”
