I wanted to start a discussion on Self-defense Training or Defensive Tactics. Does any of your training blend Modern Arnis empty hands with other systems of Self-Defense or do you train strictly Modern Arnis or strictly another system for Self-defense.
We are currently creating a curriculum for a seperate Class strictly teaching self-defense. We are intergrating Modern Arnis techniques with some Military/Police techniques. I am using my past Military background and current study of Self-defense for the curriculum. This will entail all aspects of Self-defense including Situation assesment, multiple attackers, weapons, realistic scenarios(in a car, in a stairwell, on uneven ground, raining, snow/ice, etc.), using non-weapon items (books, pens, magazines, etc.), and escape and evade taecniques. The course will be "tuned" for the students needs. Just wanted to hear from you guys out there and get your ideas of what is happening in your club.
Thanks, Guro Ben.
