Hello and thanx for reading this. So you are considering coming to a seminar? In this case it is a Bowie knife seminar.
Remember my friend, that name is just a term, a designation. This material works well with anything hand held. (cane, stick, machete, etc) However at it's optimum level of performance it works the very best with a Bowie-type knife. And yes, it can also be done with a folding knife too. It may not produce the same deadly wounds as a Bowie knife, but the methods themselves are universally viable.
* At my studio I have everything we shall need. If you cannot afford a mask, then we'll make do with what we have on hand. A personal mask is nice, it also encourages further training once the seminar is over. (you have invested in your future). The same goes for a training weapon. I have some on hand at all times. But, to possess your own weapon is to again further your own skill and abilities. But please do not think that you cannot attend the Bowie training due to lack of equipment. We have you covered. BUT, if can afford the gear, then by all means call me, lets get you set soon and invest in your future. The gear shall take you far into the realm of real skill and that is the goal isn't it?
Be a pro and go for the gear if possible. Three things needed are below. Gloves are easy, bring a set.
1. A three game Mask (Foil, Epee, Saber)
2. A saber hilt mounted to a flexy blade / 18"
3. A leather glove and a Long sleeve shirt
* You are advised to wear black clothes and to bring shoes you can comfortably move in.
