Sat­ur­day Octo­ber 8th, 2011

This Sat­ur­day work­shop will focus on apply­ing our tra­di­tional method of French poignard directly to knife defense. Our method of French poignard comes down to us through Maitre Mar­cel Cabijos.

We will cover the basic guards, move­ments, meth­ods of attack and defense, along with how to manip­u­late time in a knife fight. Most impor­tantly we will exam­ine how the knife actions dif­fer from those prac­ticed with our train­ing poignards. Mr. Dave Slo­combe will be be join­ing us to work on con­nec­tive locks and in-fighting.

Mar­tial Arts Uni­ver­sity brings together prac­ti­tion­ers of East­ern and West­ern tra­di­tional mar­tial arts to demon­strate and dis­cuss the the­ory that guides their phys­i­cal prac­tice.  To learn more about this event, click on the event page here.

A video sum­mary of the 2011 MAU can be found on our YouTube Chan­nel.
