WEAPONS

Weapons practiced at the academy include knife, short stick, cane, bo and baseball bat. These weapons are the types of weapons that are found in society today in all manner of shapes and sizes. Any heavy or sharp object can be used as a weapon. Practice against these weapons help the student develop correct distancing and speed as well as reflexes for evasion and counter attack. The student must now learn to deal with a stick, knife, screwdriver etc. which makes them rethink their whole self-defence approach.
