Course Description
A weapons based environment consists of four interrelated instances of weapons presence; 1. Carrying of your own weapon. 2. Your opponent being armed. 3. Intentional or makeshift weapons present in the environment. 4. Introduction of a weapon by a third party. Knowledge of this potential forces us to address physical violence in a manner that accounts for this by emphasizing limb control and positional dominance first and foremost, and then includes the introduction of our own weapons and our own damage infliction. This seminar will address achieving the former in order to facilitate the latter with our own repertoire of specific and modified striking options. These will include things such as punching, kicking, kneeing, elbowing and head butting.
Course Environment and Format:
Class will be a relaxed atmosphere that will include primarily short periods of technical instruction, followed by partner/group drilling and exploratory/cooperative work paired with individual instruction. Class will also include periods of light but competitive live sparring work.
