Combat Fighting
Time:
Thursdays: 9-9:30pm
Minimum Grade Requirement: P2
We used to call this Fight Club, but apparently we're not allowed to talk about it.
Our Combat FIghting Class (as opposed to sport fighting) is all about taking the skills you've learned in the other classes, and dialing up the dynamic to 11.
The goal for this class is to improve your ability to overcome trained attackers - people who have trained in different martial arts disciplines and are determined to hurt you, which requires building up fast decision making skills so that you can change what you're doing and adapt to the situation on the fly.
In addition to this, we have a big focus on fighting tactics: suppression of the opponent's weapons, trapping, fakes - all the juicy stuff - trained in either sparring mode or tested in simulation mode.
Unlike our other classes, there is a minimum grade requirement of P2.
This is so that you have a minimum technical base to participate and get something out of the class (otherwise it would just turn into us quickly trying to teach you how to defend against a straight punch), and to make sure you're experienced enough not to panic, lash out and hurt your classmates.
