Seminar Topics for the Open Seminar with GM Rene Latosa in Velbert oct 16/2010:

First part of the seminar: from long weapon to short weapon - how the concept of distance becomes a non-fixed and continously shifting structure based on different influences like the length of the weapon. Learn about the relative factors, that lead to the application of dynamic shifting tactics and learn how to loose the traditional view of fixed technical arrangements in order to be able to adjust successfully to any circumstance. For this part a staff, stick and a palm stick is advised.

Second part of the seminar: the machete as the bladed weapon - the inherent dangers of bladed weapons in addition to the circumstance of close range. Learning about the impossibilities of classical knife or even modern knife defenses by learning about the concepts of a bladed weapon through the machete representing a big knife with wider reach. Get real knowledge about a topic, that is always presented in a wrong and unrealistic manner in order to have the right sense of realism about this very important subject, so that you will be able to discern what is good for you or not! For this part of the seminar a machete with a dull blade or training machete out of non-metal material is advised.

Both seminar parts will have a deep impact upon the understanding of realism in wepaon combat arts, as the different weapon structures and their impact on the control of the body can be described as going from one extreme to the other in a sliding conceptual and controlled and manner. GM Rene Latosa will teach his non-traditional approach so you will have cutting edge tools at your disposal - for your combat skills as well as for your own self-development!
