The arms were inspired by both maternal and paternal sides of the family. The tinctures were inspired by the maternal side, in which family members were active in the English navy. The paternal side of the family can be dated back to the Battle of Hastings, 1066 with the paternal side, Brudenelle, crossed the channel with William the Conquerer. Assumed in November 2007. |

| Symbolism: |
Argent a bend Gules in chief choice of colours refers to Canadian nationality. There is also intended as a reference to the British naval ensign. Several centuries ago, on my maternal side, family members were active in the English navy. a lion passant guardant Sable armed and langued Gules is a reference to family history. There is strong speculation among family historians that the origin of Brundles in England were members of the Norman nobility (Brudenelles) who crossed the channel in 1066 with William the Conquerer, were granted lands in Lancashire and helped to administer the Norman restructuring of England. The Lion passant guardant was a feature of an early arms associated with the Brudenelle name. In 1873, two branches of the family left this area of England, one for Tasmania, the other, my great grandparents, for Toronto, Canada. The lion is also a reference to Fiore dei Liberi's beastiery. It serves as a reminder to me to continue my development as a martial artist with a constant eye to the attributes Liberi encapsulates in the lion. in base, an open book proper has two meanings. One is a reference to my profession and related value system as a teacher. The other reference is to Liberi's work and the necessity of study in the seeking of a deeper understanding of the martial art he recorded. |
