The HMCA (Historical Maritime Combat Association) is returning to the Bay Area! We are excited to have Steve Huff and John Lennox teaching with Steaphen Fick at DEMAS. With close to 130 years of martial arts experience between these three instructors, you will have a weekend workshop like you have never experienced.

This workshop will teach the use of the most common weapons for the use of defending your ship during the Golden Age of Sail. We will be working with different weapons such as the boarding axe, the cutlass, the knife, and the officer's sword. While we have run classes like this in the past, we will be working on using these weapons as they would have been used on a moving deck.

We will explore the use of these boarding action weapons in close-quarters combat and when there is nowhere else to go because you are on a ship in the middle of the ocean.

Time: 10:00 pm – 5:00 pm
