Over more than a decade training in European martial arts, Roland has explored many of the weapons of the Italian historical traditions: longsword, sidesword, rapier, dagger, duelling sabre, and unarmed striking and grappling. In 2015 he was awarded the rank of Provost in the Italian traditions by a board of certified Italian-lineage fencing masters. He also regularly practices the Portuguese stick-fighting art of jogo do pau, which he has studied under Luis Preto.
To support his primary goals of practicing and coaching historical weapon arts, he also trains and coaches strength and Conditioning, with a focus on barbell and kettlebell training.
Roland is a Lead Instructor at Academie Duello in Vancouver, BC, where he teaches both youth and adult programs.
