Part 1 – Large Knives
Note: This is a 2 part class. This class is an introduction to the large knife and/or Hand Axe use in combat/personal defense. When using the larger knife like the American Bowie and others, or using the traditional Hand Axe (Tomahawk) for Combat or Personal Defense, it may be individual combat or in today’s world of street violence, it will quickly boil down to a melee fight. Muscle memory and conditioned responses will help you when in the melee, or just the individual confrontation.
We will introduce the concepts and logical progression of both defensive and offensive use of the bowie and the combat hawk both individually and in combination with both. You will take home the drills for personal practice and study. You have to practice to improve and to maintain skill. Just like everything else worth doing.
This class will be physical so dress comfortably, (example: BDU’s or sweats), sturdy footwear ie: boots or cross trainers. Class will be inside but may move outside depending. Bring: Lunch, note taking materials. Knee and or elbow pads if desired. Please call with any questions. Dummy weapons will be used and will be provided.
