CCEKA members enjoyed a workshop with GM Nonoy on Combat Taichi employing a knife on September 13th, 2015. Participants were introduced taichi’s ‘brush knee twist step’. Everyone then followed these movements with a knife then with two knives. A progression of techniques using the knife in regular grip and reverse grip were added to make multiple two-man fighting sets surrounding the ‘brush knee twist step’. Zoning, angulation, timing, control, proper technique, safety awareness and potential targets areas were discussed throughout the workshop. The workshop concluded with a brief demo of the walking cane vs walking cane which shares many applications with the Wasay short battle axe. The Wasay will be the subject in our upcoming workshop in November. |
