    Master Steve Tappin Has taken time out of his busy schedule (click here to see how busy) to come to Dublin for the 1st Escrima concepts seminar in Ireland.
    Steve travels extensively through out Europe and the rest of the world in teaching his tried and tested methods of armed and unarmed combat to Police and security forces as well as civilian martial arts groups.

    Here's an excerpt from his flyer:
    · Escrima Concepts works from concepts NOT techniques, enhanced with a syllabus, theory and strategies.

    · Escrima Concepts is weapon independent. This enables the practitioner to use a whole range of weapons.

    · Escrima Concepts enables the practitioner to defend against both armed and unarmed assailants.

    · Escrima Concepts strengthens the practitioner's mental strength through a unique training method.

    · Escrima Concepts has several professional run tournaments every year.

    · All Escrima Concepts instructors have to be approved by the chief instructor.

    · Escrima Concepts gives you a chance to train a weapon system that is both traditional and modern.

    · Escrima Concepts provide training for Police and Security

    · Escrima Concepts provide Blade Awareness and Environmental Training (including stress control and avoiding conflicts)

    · Escrima Concepts is a worldwide organisation.

    · Escrima Concepts is a Founding Member of the WMAA (Alliance) and the EHCG (European Historical Combat Guild)

    Only one that reguarly trains with weapons has a chance against an armed assailant!

    Here's the poster,
    http://www.wildgeesema.com/images/ec%20seminar.pdf

    it's pdf so if you feel there maybe interest from your club feel free to pass it around.

    Steve will be teaching Blade awareness, knife defence and practical FMA.

    It's an open seminar, not just the the FMA community, but anybody with an interest in martial arts, self defence/protection and RBSD will benefit from Steve's knowledge and experience.

    I'll be dropping in and out of this forum so if you've any questions, ask away.

    Regards

    Dave

    Sounds cool - hopefully I (and some others from the club) will be there.

    We've got a post advertising it on our boards too, and I'll be putting it up as an event on our website, so hopefully that'll attract some bodies.

    The Martial Arts Academy
    14-16 Magennis Place
    Pearse St
    Dublin 2

    Right across from the Pearse st Dart station and there is parking (mostly metered I think) on the streets round about, as well as the stations car park.

    I also want to invite all genuine eskrima(FMA) instructors to come to the seminar to meet with Paul, myself and Steve Tappout, sorry, Tappin and discuss the Irish Council Of Eskrima, Kali, Arnis Instructors (ICKEAI). Of course this wont affect the training, we'll do the talking after over a drink or two.

    Steve was a student of Brian Jones (the guy who brought FMA to europe) and is a member of the British Council of Eskrima Kali Arnis Instructors (BCEKAI).

    I suggest this weekend to be a good time or us ll to sit down and talk, as well as to pick the brains of a member of another CKEAI

    I have emailed all those who I have email addresses for, but if I can ask you all to either pm me your email address or contact me directly via info@wildgeesema.com

    Just a reminder lads, Steve and Wayne are over this weekend and are looking forward to running a fantastic seminar.

    This is escrima with a twist. Ideal for anybody interested in practical martial arts and real world weapon defence.
