Combat practice is held on Sunday afternoons between 2pm and 4pm. You can expect to spend several
weeks learning drills and doing attack and defence exercises with a partner before being authorised to
do
free sparring.
Wear long sleeved clothes that you can move around freely in, and also sensible shoes. Bring a tough
pair
of
gloves (preferably leather) if you have them.
We practice in most weather conditions throughout the year.
The group built these snow men and used them for target practice.
The purpose of this exercise was to practice cutting strokes at full force. When fighting a real opponent
blows are pulled short, but it can help to know how the real thing works.
The thick cardboard boxes provided quite a bit of resistance when cut and if you don't get the angle right
it tends to bounce off.
