Training Seminar in Philadelphia, PA, November 3rd,2007


What a great seminar. Datu Hartman did a fantastic job of blending stick sparring techniques with street application. We used padded sticks for this part of the seminar so we got some pretty good strikes in.
We switched gears and covered some of the Kombatan material that the WMAA has added into our curriculum. Everyone really enjoyed the double stick work had fun with the new material.
We also did some sparring and everyone worked on applying the techniques that Datu covered in the begining of the seminar. There were about twenty people and everyone worked well together.
Thanks Datu Tim for presenting this new material.

This seminar will focus on the use of Tapi-Tapi as a tool for training your body to adjust to the changing conditions that arise while fighting. It will give you a pattern for building your own drills and allow you to focus on your individual needs. We will cover right and left hand techniques and show the importance of the live hand.
