Our School offers training in a wide range of weapons. This training is usually incorporated directly into the martial arts. A weapon is, after all, an extension of the hand. In Ancient China weapons began as utensils of war, but from there they became a sport and an art. In forms, students learn displays with weapons that are elegant and beautiful to watch.
Students begin by learning the principles of evasion. They are thus able to close with and evade a weapon being swung about by an opponent, even at close quarters! Exercises with sticks and staffs teach the students coordination and flexibility. A student chooses a weapon as much as the weapon chooses the student. Thus we offer students the opportunity to choose and learn about weapons of interest to them. These could be the short or long staff, sword, spear, nunchaku or flying weapons. We also integrate self defence training, teaching students how best to handle themselves in situations where they may be faced with modern weapons on the street. At all times we give the safety of our students the highest priority.
Update: The Weapons System has been revised and in addition to forms include things like unarmed defence against weapons, weapon drills, weapon sparring, two-person forms and specific techniques to individual weapons.
