What an amazing weekend, teaching both Eskrima and Self-Defence out in the forest at Camp Wildfire Week One.

The pouring rain didn't slow anyone down on Saturday with everyone still turning up and smashing it. Self-Defence saw us running through some techniques to escape from various 'grab and drag' situations as well as deal with a knife attack. Eskrima started off with some double stick drills, move on to some single stick disarms, then finishing with some locking an opponent using a tomahawk, machete, knife, or karambit.

Thanks to everyone for coming along and making it such a fun weekend!

Our last week at our temporary home. I doubt the neighbours are going to miss the noise of 16 of us doing sinawali!

This was a real crash course in the patterns and how to blend them together. Everyone has worked so hard over the last few weeks and the effort really shows.

Playing with our sinawali chambers this week, mixing upward and downward striking while moving seamlessly through the switching points. Very complicated stuff but it was the usual excellent work from everyone! Thursday saw us playing with a new drill that mixes all of our sinwali patterns into one flow before breaking out the karambits for some cutting and slashing.

Definitely missing our air conditioning at the moment!

Settling in to our temporary new home at Leybourne Chase with some single stick and empty hands. We took a look at some Doce Pares 4:3 striking, free playing the first few angles and incorporating some disarms and locking of the secondary (punching) arm. The key here is how everything fits together as one system so that you are never stuck and can flow between your different options no matter what is happening in front of you, as well as using particular movements to limit what your opponent can do back. This all adds up to make you look a lot quicker than you really are and just a little bit psychic!

We had a real deep dive into sinawali patterns this week, exploring different ways to blend them. This is going to come in incredibly useful when we revisit the empty hands in a few weeks.

The other big feature of the week was looking at how to find our knife disarms from different positions, in isolation or various movement drills. This is the key to so much of what we do. The technique is always the technique but knowing how to find it from any position is crucial.

It's been a very full-on week with a revisit to some basic striking combination structures, exploring how different sinawali patterns all blend together, getting into some knife disarms, and turning up the intensity on our corto sparring. Top work from everyone!

Continuing to build some close quarters striking this week, learning how to flow from different entry points and disarming from offensive and defensive movements. There are huge benefits from working at this range as the movement it forces you to perform bleeds over into longer ranges, helping generate power and striking flow.
