Edged Weapons

Picture
85% of all street fights involve a weapon of some kind.  With that in mind, Progressive Fighting - Maryland offers one of the top Edged Weapons courses in the nation.  This training system is one of the most sought after weapons courses in the country.  Originally designed for the Navy SEALs, it has been taught to multiple military and law enforcement agencies.  Edged Weapons is the culmination of Sifu Paul Vunak's years of training and practical experience, and is developed from Jeet Kune Do and the Filipino martial arts of Kali.

"This is the curriculum [government agencies] love.  This is the best curriculum for the military paradigm."  Sigung Paul Vunak
The program focuses on weapon familiarization, teaching the student the essentials for using actual blades, as well as improvised weapons such as sticks, bottles, pipes, or anything that may become a life-saving asset in a threatening situation.  Students learn essential reaction techniques to transform themselves from a victim mindset to a survivor mindset.  They progress through training in reaction drills, countering, close-quarter drills, and mass attack drills.  Students also train in the worst case scenario, what to do when you are unarmed and faced with a weapon.

The Edged Weapons course is open only to adults over the age of 18 years old.
