Maharlika Martial Arts: July 10, 2012

Tonight we went over the Tomahawk template. One of the students wanted to see our material on the tomahawk. Each of us rotated different weapons because not all of us had a tomahawk available. Different weapons used were bolo, stick, straight blade, and mini blade. Each weapon had a different feel. It was nice to see and feel what could be used as a tomahawk and what had to change in order to make it work. Each weapon can reach that target of the template, but you have to manipulate the tool/weapon in order to maximize it's damage.

Next, Guro Bob showed us the different designs of tomahawks he had. He shared why they were designed and what they were used for. Handling each one felt different. Each tomahawks were weighted differently because of their use.

This was a good class. Very informative. Also, very nice to have Silak Jackie Sayoc visiting us for class!
