Hello,
Do you train with weapons in your classes? By this I mean any of the traditional chinese weapons, or work with/against modern weapons like firearms, etc?
We rarely practice wth traditional Chinese weapones in classes, although some students train with them in private lessons.
We practice with modern weapons, mainly defensive strategies but sometimes spar with training weapons.
For students interested in further training with sticks and knives, my student Meynard teaches his own group (he teaches Pekiti Tirsia under Leo Gaje).
