Atienza Kali Seminar at Maharlika Martial Arts

A lot of good information in this seminar.  Evolution 1 Bolo with feeder 1 and feeder 2 drills.  Explanation of force anchor (press, stand, pull).  Discussed different fighter types and how to tell from the footwork and body stance.  Discussion of footwork in relation to mass attack.  Many other types of training drills to aide in force-anchor attacks/counters.  This was a really good seminar with a lot of information.   If you ever get a chance to attend a Atienza kali seminar, you should go.  You will learn a lot of good techniques and tactics for the bolo/machete.

Training at Maharlika Martial Arts

On April 12, 2011, I went up to Guro Bob Shin's school (Maharlika Martial Arts in Columbia, MD) and was able to train and help teach the class.  It was nice to work with different guys and feel their energy.  We worked on 3 of 9 true left and performed 3 of 9 tapping with two minis (both feeder and reciever with blades).
We then introduced mass attack situations and what tactics they should know when faced with multiple attackers.  The mass attack material is a part of the Atienza Kali.  On May 7, Tuhon Carl Atienza will be in town to give a seminar to teach their bolo and mass attack material.  Contact Guro Bob Shin at Maharlika Martial Arts for more information.
