Tomahawk Fighting
The Tomahawk has been widely known as the weapon of choice for the Vikings, Native Americans, and a host of other warrior civilizations throughout history, but the low-tech, high-impact tomahawk has also been carried in every American war, including Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. The modern-day tactical tomahawk can be utilized singly or with a knife in both offensive and defensive encounters.
This seminar will touch on a number of tomahawk fighting concepts, including:
-
Various grips (short, long, reverse)
-
Stance
-
Footwork
-
Angles of Attack (cutting and slashing)
-
Targets (arms, legs, head)
-
Combinations
-
Checking Hand – training the left hand
-
Trapping
-
Body manipulation
-
Flow/energy drills
-
Combat drills
-
Disarming techniques against knife, stick or axe
-
and MORE
Though swords, spears, and battleaxes have generally disappeared, tomahawks remain useful and thrive in combat, self-defense, and survival situations. While most people may not choose or be able to carry a tomahawk or axe in their everyday lives, the principles taught in this class are transferable to empty hand, knife, stick, improvised weapons, and even a hammer (the most available and utilized tool in most households).
So, if you are looking for a new and different self-defense option, a useful tool to chop some firewood, dig out a foxhole, open those pesky security doors, help you remove IEDs, kill a zombie horde, fend off Viking invaders, OR if you just want to try something really cool and lots of fun, then you need to attend this tactical tomahawk fighting class.
