Curriculum Vitae & reference letters
Tony Rotherham has been studying the history
of Robin Hood since he was eighteen years old,
not just the ballads but the historical figure behind the ballads.
He has been doing lectures on this subject
for about twenty years and could be called an expert in this field,
although he would cringe to have that label
put on him. Along with this he has set up several very successful
and award winning historical groups.
| Spirit of England |
|
This group concentrates on the Robin Hood and King
Arthur legends and performs shows all over europe. |
| |
|
|
| The Company of the White Boar |
|
This group is a living history group looking at the life and
times of a fifteenth century household led by the notorious Black
Knight of Ashton; Sir Ralph Assherton. |

|
|
| Seathieves Pirate Association |
|
This is a group of like minded individuals with a passion for
the Golden Age of Piracy. Sorry no Jack Sparrow wannabe`s allowed
in this crew. If you would like to learn all about the real Pirates
of the Caribbean you really need to see this group. |

|
|
| Stand and Deliver |
|
The society of English highwaymen. This group is not large,
in fact at full strength they only number six people. But each
one of these characters knows about the life and times of some
of Englands most notorious highwaymen from Sam Gregory of the
Essex gang to Dick Turpin. |
Not only has Tony been interested in history,
but he is also accomplished in Martial Arts,
gaining a third degree black belt in Wado Ryu karate and a brown belt
in Shudokan Aikido.
Both of which have been very useful in his work as a VIP bodyguard.
Working for people such as:
John -de- Lancy ( Star Trek the next generation
) |
Bruce Boxleitnor ( Babylon 5 ) |
Tyler Main (X- Men ) |
Robert Trebor ( Xena Warrior Princess Hercules
) |
Andrew Robinson (Dirty Harry Deep Space
nine ) |
Amber Benson ( Buffy the vampire Slayer

Not only does Tony do this he also works for
a company that runs high adrenaline days as an instructor.
Doing such things as:
| Stunt Man Days |
|
A day in the life of a Hollywood stunt performer, teaching
people how to fall, roll, the use of crash mats, blank
firing guns and choreographing fights with and without
weapons. |

|
|
| SWAT - Special Weapons And Tactics |
|
Learning the ways of a special operations operative
including the use of blank and live firing weapons, anti
terrorist techniques. Moving through a building armed
with MP5, M16 M83A SPAS, Shotgun, AK47. So he is pretty
much an all rounder when it comes to weapons both ancient
and modern. |

|
|
| Fire Walking |
|
This is something that Tony has been doing for years
working with a company called B.L.A.Z.E going all over
the country doing firewalks for charities and walking
over hot coals burning at 1375 degrees centigrade. |
| |
