Dacayana Eskrima knife based workshop

Description

As an open event we`d like to invite everyone to join and learn some new skills that may be useful one day.

Come and train with a highly respected martial artist

Marcie Harding

who is the European Director of Dacayana Eskrima and the highest level student (outside of the Philippines) of the founder GM Jun Dacayana.

Eskrima, Arnis and (in the West) Kali are umbrella terms for the traditional martial arts of the Philippines that emphasise weapon-based fighting with sticks, knives and other bladed weapons, and various improvised weapons. It also includes hand-to-hand combat and weapon disarming techniques. Kali is a very sophisticated, highly refined old and indigenous art dating to prehistoric Philippines what`s been developed and practised for centuries, although until lately, has hardly been known outside the country. We are very lucky that we could book some time in Marcie`s extremely busy diary for this event. This 3 hour long workshop will be run by Marcie and will focus on the knife fight section of the system:

• strikes,
• blocks,
• footwork,
• knife vs knife techniques,
• empty hand vs knife work,
• disarms…

…just to mention a few topics.

*The extra £10 for non-members is payable on the day in cash to the instructor.
