Lameco Workshop Stalemate Module

Excellent first Lameco Eskrima workshop on the 2012 / 13 Calendar and a fantastic turnout for the workshop as it was fully booked, so looking for bigger venue for sept.

This was the Knife stalemate module and all the students who train at the workshop will be able to test on this module at the next Lameco workshop in Sept. Students started of the workshop covering the basic Siniwali (Double Stick) #1 -#4 before moving onto the Pasunkit Kanan / Kaliwa (Thrust counters) Aldabis Kanan / Kaliwa (Upward Counters) and finishing on Kadena Reyal (Chain Counters). This was the first time these techniques have been taught to the students. Following this students learnt the 12 Angles of Attack with the Knife, while the Advance students learnt the Double Strike Angles of the cane, which brought a whole new edge to the training and understanding of the strike patterns. Following on students began to learn the fundamentals of sparring with the sticks and the core ethos of Lameco in striking. After a short break student began working on the 8 core techniques of Knife Stalemates and a clearance of the center line drill at the end, which helps students create space in close range encounters against an aggressive attacker. So a lot of ground was covered and it was great to be back training in the art again.

We are currently helping to spread the art of Valencia Lameco Eskrima in Ireland and UK and if you're interested in attending / hosting a workshop, or interested in learning for yourself, or introducing it into your club or students, get in touch and we work a way for you to get the full benefit s of this very combat streamline art. Next Module is Hold Up and will be in Late Sept. Keep up to date by clicking the "Like" on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/urbansilat or by checking out our website www.urbansilat.com
