Weapons progression training

We are picking up the pace in our weapons based sessions - concentrating on the use of weapons and weapons defence.

So bring whatever weapons you have to these classes. Obviously stix, so we can do double and single drills. But also bring tonfa and nunchaku, to look at the close range weapons, as well as longer weapons including bokken, Jo and Bo.

We'll look at drilling different weapons against each other.

We'll look at defending weapons unarmed - including knife defence, and defence against attacker armed with a stick or club.

We'll look at traditional koryo mutadori - unarmed defence against a swordman.

We'll look deeper into locks with stix and tonfa, and locking with the longer sticks.
