Escrima

Escrima Fighter Meeting 2007

This year's event is fast approaching, and the planning and preparations are now at full stretch.

A Japanese TV team (almost ;-)) came all the way from Japan to film the preparatory training of the Maintal fighters. They were doing a report on sighting and optical equipment in Wetzlar, and also about a special police unit. When they heard that there was a nearby martial arts school offering fight training with old European weapons and methods, they asked for permission to film and were invited to attend the training. They were very enthusiastic, and filmed all day long.

Other EWTO students, fighters and instructors are also very welcome to come to this preparatory training, which is held every Friday at the Escrima school in Maintal, as thorough, progressive preparation for a tournament with a variety of sparring partners always makes good sense.
