A great class last night at Essex Fighting Arts (www.essexfightingarts.weebly.com)
Only small numbers again, but we got straight into some stick defence with dagger along with strips, cuts and disarms and of course take downs. Then onto defence against an ice pick grip attack. I love these drills as it teaches a lot about positioning (zoning), utilizing your opponents balance and cutting down on the tools they can use at any given time. As well as knife strips and various locks along with counter strikes with the knife or controlling your opponent. Les cracks me up as he so doesn’t align himself with his age and was busy stabbing and bashing Phil through the training session. Ha ha
I need to do a video on this I feel as it has been a while and would be good to get another done with Will or another student.
Lots of fun to be had next week so will see you all then. Ouss..
