WEAPONS SPARRING WORKSHOP (Knife in Reverse Grip + Karambit)I'm excited to be presenting a series of Weapons Sparring Workshops where we can do some light sparring rounds with various weapons from the Filipino Martial Arts, such as knife and padded stick (simulating machete/sword)...and even double-stick, karambit and axe/tomahawk!
At this Weapons Sparring Workshop, I'll be focusing on Filipino Knife-Fighting (knife in reverse grip), covering:
✅ Skills - solo drills, technique (knife in reverse grip)
✅ Drills - partner drills, sparring drills, tactics (knife in reverse grip)
✅ Weapons Sparring - light, controlled sparring with knife (regular grip and reverse grip) and karambit (with experienced martial artists from a variety of martial arts backgrounds)
...with a view of competing at weapons competitions in the future (competition is optional - the main aim is skill development).
This event is open to Members of Combat Academy and Martial Arts Friends.
