On Sunday 16th Nov in Wexford Liam Mc Donald conducted the first workshop on Combat Silat and Lameco Eskrima at Mark Porter Mixed Martial Arts Club. This was to launch the club as the Official Branch and Training Group for the South East, and Mark as the Representative. A special Thanks goes out to the all the guys who turn up and give their best and to the warm and welcoming hospitality shown by Mark and his students.Liam started of showing the various Knife Stalements and their counters, against the knife attacker using headbutts, elbows, knees, than learning how to defend using outside circles, elbows drops, tunnelling and disarms. After a short break we moved onto silat grappling and ground fighting techniques from the Malay system of Guyong Harimau, with special focus put on being able to flow from striking to locking and back again. After lunch students moved back onto footwork and timing in relation to the knife and got an introduction to knife sparring.
Mark is planing a number of workshops in 2009 with Liam and if you living in the area give Mark a call as he is a very talent and knowledgeable instructor in Martial arts with many years of experience behind him. For details of training in wexford and the seminar www.wexmma.com/seminars.htm
