Striking Foundation. We focus on two strikes in particular, the straight-arm attack, and the hammer punch. These can be combined into multiple attacks that strike targets and tear down defenses.
Falling. A successfully controlled fall will accomplish two things: not getting injured, and the potential to continue the fight from the ground.
Controlling the Centre. We’ll explore the three centres of control, and discover how they relate to each other when it comes to dominating the fight.
Following the Knife. A brief look at defenses against a modern knife, and a series of attacks and defenses designed to heighten awareness and tactile sensitivity.
First Master Position. The Master Position gives us a basis to engage with our opponent by controlling their arms and legs. We’ll explore how we get into the master position, and conclude with a takedown from there.
As with all of our courses, we especially encourage caution when training unarmed. These techniques are advanced, and are to be attempted only by martial artists who are trained in the fundamentals of movement, structure and body control.
