The Workshop open with knife drills to develop awareness and co ordination, than moved on to high speed take downs. Shortly after this students were introduced to empty hands techniques which include parries, blocks, escapes and quick finishing techniques. After the break students moved onto the stick and learnt how to develop power and speed with techniques, and how to deal with multiple attackers. The short video clip Robert demos a drill where the student is attacked by multiple attackers. The attacker has to try and keep at bay the attackers. He must always keep moving and not stop hitting. He has to be aware of what direction the new attacker is coming in on and keep him out. I like to thank Guru Robert for putting on the event and from the students in Ballymena, Letterkenny and Dublin who travel to the workshop and put 100% into their training. Guru Robert will be hosting another seminar early in 2009!
