The 6th Sword School Seminar

My daughter and I attended this sixth seminar on 4/16/05 held at Geauga Park's Bass Lake Preserve Lodge

This one was really awesome!
This class was the 2 certification courses, and boy did we earn them.
Master Turk worked our butts off. (mental note, get some pads for my arms)



First we started off getting caught up.
Wolfe regailed us with a tale of his trip to walmart.
As you can see from the pics, it was quite an......
what's the word I am looking for?
Interesting!
Yeah, that's it.
It was quite the 'interesting' tale :-)
   
Next, we got started on pressure points.
These are lots of fun. You get to make people jump around, or fall to the floor just by pressing or hitting certain areas.
Of course how much fun you have depends on who you are matched up with, since some people are more sensitive than others. And sometimes having them tried on you is not the greatest thing in the world (can anyone here say 'sternum'? )
   
After a break for lunch, we moved on to Spontaneous Knife Defense.
This one had lots of great stuff.
Some good techniques on how to defend yourself if attacked by someone with a knife.
It was a real work-out too!
Not only was it a little rough on the arms, but a real work-out for the thigh muscles.
But it was all worth the work. Learned a great deal. and gained some really good perspective on what is needed to actually survive a knife fight. Well worth the time and cost.
