Intro to Stick and Knife Fighting

A seminar providing an introduction to some of the basic skills of Kali/Escrima/Arnis, a martial art from the Philippines which focuses on defending against, and learning how to wield, sticks and knives.

You will learn:

- How to attack and defend yourself with a club or knife
- Drills to help you improve your coordination, speed and timing
- Empty hand defenses you can use against the most common club and knife attacks

Escrima is a great art because it teaches you how to use both hands more effectively, can be studied on its own as it also incorporates its own form of empty hand techniques, or it can be used to supplement your other fighting and martial art skills. 

The seminar is $20, but free to Law Enforcement and Teachers with proper identification. 

Call Spider Gym for more information, or to reserve your space. (847) 322-1965.
