CSP Seminar 2- Momentum Martial Arts

FACEBOOK GROUPTom Mayes - Momentum Martial Arts

Over the 4 hour seminar we re-capped the Fence and restriction training. We then moved into dealing with Multiple Assailants, looking at 4 man pad drills that promote target acquisition, footwork, target prioritisation and reactive power. We also managed to squeeze in a little groundwork focusing primarily on getting up, and major importance when grappling outside and in particular, when you are faced with multiple assailants.

I hope to see you all again soon

Both Mick and myself were overwhelmed with the welcome we received and very impressed with attention and effort everyone put in.
I've always said, the members of any Martial Arts club are a reflection of their instructor and what a fabulous bunch of people you all are.
To Tom and his Students,
Thank you for giving us a great day out, a fun day's training and we hope to see you all again in the very near future.
