In-Tents Kun Tao Dumpag 3 Day Camp Out
This unique Filipino martial art workshop will be conducted by Ron Kosakowski
August 3rd, 4th & 5th, 2012

 

Keep in touch if you are interested in learning this unique style.

Located:

571 Quaker Farms Road

Oxford, Connecticut


 


This is going to be approximately 8 hours a day of intense Kuntao training. There will be breaks for lunch, water and rest in between training.

 


Friday - The use of hand movements and foot work, monitoring your opponent which will place you in position before your opponent can get to you. That is a science within itself. You will learn how to use what your opponent does against him. Hitting without being hit. This is the foundation of Kuntao Dumpag that will make the rest of the style easier to learn. The training methods for the traditional balance and conditioning will also be worked on and understood also.

Then some camping fun, a good chance of some demonstrations will be done during social gathering, dinner and laugh time.

Saturday - A lot of coverage on the ground fighting aspects of Kuntao will be shown here. These fighting methods are unique to Kuntao. This is not the mainstream wrestling methods you see now a days. These ground fighting methods were created to defend worse case scenario situations should you end up there. These tactics were created to defend  multi-man attack and weapon defense situations...things you do not want end up against in a wrestling situation. This area of Kuntao training is a very good core workout so be prepared to get a good workout for this course. This is stuff not seen in other martial art styles.

 

Sunday - The most dangerous situation you can be up against is a knife wielding individual who wants to kill you. Our Kuntao adage is, "get cut but be skilled enough not to get killed." Here you will really see how the Kuntao monitoring system situation along with functional foot work coordinated with the hand movements really help this dangerous situation. Many static knife, as in hostage situations or getting robbed or just threatened will be shown as well.

Between 4:00 and 5pm Sunday, pictures taken to preserve good memories, last minute questions then we all go home. I would say prepare to go home approximately 6pm to be safe.
