Matt Munson of Champions Combat Arts hosted a basic weapons seminar this past Saturday. Matt is the Regional Representative for Central Texas.  We had a nice group of folks with a wide variety of martial arts and bladed experience. The day flew past and lots of stick banging as well as slashing and stabbing was the standard!

Katy Overman and Rick Johnson took the exams for basic Instructor certification in Single and Double Stick as well as the Knife. Fine job by both of them.

 Thanks to Matt and Pam for a great event!

I am happy to have met two new friends, Gerry and Mate. Great guys who love knives. How can that get any better?
