| − | Jamie Acutt has been involved in the martial arts for 20 years. Study began in Asian martial arts, reaching 1st and 2nd Dan respectively in 2 systems, before cross-training in many others. This eclectic interest lead to a desire to understand the root of all martial arts, and establishing the concept of Eskirmology (‘Fight-logic’) in 2004. This concept was adopted by Grandmaster Keith Kernspecht Dr.Sc (‘the Father of Wing Tsun in Europe’), who published his own books using this term (''Kampflogik'').

| − | Jamie’s passion for Western martial arts began in 2001, when he learned of the existence of historical fencing. From 2006, he began to write under the nom-de-plume of ‘Wallhausen’. A string of publications were published under this name between 2007-2010. To date, Jamie’s independent research has resulted in 6 published books, and 27 research papers, including appearance in academic peer-reviewed journals such as the International Journal of Sports Sciences (2016), and IQ, the Journal of the Institute of Martial Arts and Sciences (2015-2016). His work ranges from diverse topics as Cybernetics, ontology, paleography, historiography, and stemmatology, including numerous contributions to Wiktenauer, and collaboration with many other researchers (particularly on the topic of cross-comparison).
