Once again Master/Guro Spencer Gee was up at the new Hampshire Dojo to share with us his insight on Arnis stick and knife fighting techniques. The amount of knowledge that he gives out is incredible. Anyone that wishes to advance their knowledge of these arts will be challenged by his teaching. Everyone that attended was grateful for the opportunity to meet and train with this master.

Guro Gee put us through quite the regimen of training. When asked for a warm up routine, he had us all grab tires and proceeded to put us through a workout that included lifting, jumping over and rolling on the tires. After that he commenced to slowly lead us through a progression of stick drills that went from the simple to the sophisticated. After the break he handed out the training knives and again showed us how much more there was to learn about knife fighting and defense.

Check out the video from the Friday night jujutsu class to get a sample of what we went through for the seminar. We will post some videos from the Saturday class soon.

Keep posted to this blog and we will let you know when he will be coming again.

Watch Coach  Freedman and Sensei Birmingham doing basic two man stick drills and some pangamut and gunting empty hand basics. The video starts out with a long pan of pictures of Guro Grande George Brewster Coach Freedman’s beloved Arnis teacher. this man was a great influence on Coach Freedman and many other Arnis masters. Mr.. Brewster, as he was fondly called, died in 2006. You can read his obituary in the Filipino Martial Arts Digest here.

Coach Freedman gives some good tips on putting your opponent into an arm lock.  This also goes along with his previous video on slipping a punch.

The latest video from the Boston Arnis Club, Coach Freedman shows different basic variations of the Block, Check and Counter Drill. This is a dynamic drill, the principles of the drill allows for the use of empty hand, edged and impact weapons. It covers close (corto), medium (media) and larga (long) distance applications.

Please note at the beginning of the video how Coach Freedman encourages to practice from a different perspective. By working from the ground you have to incorporate a new set of motor skills. This increases your dexterity and your creativity.
