Mitch posted a Dog brothers video on our Facebook page and it has got me thinking.
Who wants some?
I don't expect anyone to be fighting full contact with rattan sticks, but we can do a padded stick version.
You don't need to be an eskrimador, as I'd expect there to be punching, kicking and throws from your own art.
This is an excellent opportunity to test your own art under pressure, learn some new transferable skills, meet fellow MAP members, raise some money for charity and most of all, have some fun.
Here is a very brief video of me and one of my students sparring and you'll see knees, kicks (even a head kick), punches and even Andy going for a takedown at the end.
Here is an excellent tutorial on how to make a padded sparring stick, although they will be provided on the day.
I would teach some basic strikes and defences with both single and double stick for the first hour, show you how to strike with the stick and follow uo with punches and kicks and then everyone gets to spar everyone else.
Two on the mat at a time with every fight filmed.
This is not a competition, there are no winners or losers. It is though about having fun and giving yourself a bit of a test.
Don't be out off by the stick. At full power padded sticks give you a bruise, but not a cut.
Levels of power will be determined before stepping onto the mat.
I'll be able to confirm next week, but it looks as though the hall we have in mind (at the Judo centre in High Wycombe) can accommodate about 15 people.
I'd like to do a few of these events each year and the next one will probably be in Nottingham near Mitch.
If things go well we'll bring this event to you. Small numbers make this fairly easy to organise and we can use local or church halls.
Who is interested and would you want an event before Christmas?
