Benjamin Hawkins started his study of HEMA in 2010 with the Academy of Historical Arts in Glasgow. Since then he has been exposed to a wide variety of HEMA disciplines including Scottish broadsword, bayonet, peasant staff, dagger, sword and targe, quarter-staff, Bowie knife and longsword. He has competed and placed in several HEMA tournaments, mainly target cutting but including a variety of weapon arts.
Scottish regimental broadsword and ensuring proper cutting mechanics are his main focus of study.
