CURRICULUM: This will be a principles based camp, rather than one focusing on techniques.
Tuhon Bill will show a representative technique from a set and then teach the principles involved with that technique through a 2 or 3 man timing drill. The emphasis will be on developing an understand of timing and distance control. While most prior camps focused on the “How” of a set of techniques, this camp will focus on the “When” and “Why” of the principles behind those techniques.

EYE PROTECTION IS A MUST HAVE SAFETY ITEM! MAKE SURE YOU BRING EYE PROTECTION TO CAMP AND WEAR IT IN ALL CLASSES!
.
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT LIST:
Two Rattan Sticks. Two Rubber or polymer training knives. One polymer training sword.
Metal training knives or swords are NOT allowed in class.
.
Vulpes Training is the recommended trainer maker for PTI. Please contact them and ask for their PTI discount code. VULPESTRAINING com.
.
GLOVES: A pair of lightweight, breathable gloves to prevent blisters during training are a good idea
.
WRIST BANDS: A pair of two inch wide wrist bands or sweat guards that can be used by you in summer weather for long periods of time are recommended. Many of the techniques in the Daga sessions involve sliding a rubber training knife across the wrist area to simulate a cut. A wrist band of some type of soft, breathable, non-irritating material will help prevent friction burns or other abrasions.
(Note: You will be asked to remove your watch or metal jewelry from your wrist during class. This is to prevent damage to an expensive item and potential injury to your training partner).
.
WRITING GEAR: A notebook and pen for taking notes.
WEATHER GEAR: We will be training in a pavilion, a roofed structure also known as a pole-barn and will likely spend much of our time in the grassy area around this. Therefore, please bring appropriate sun protection gear, such as a sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent and at least one gallon of water or sports drink per day.
.
See you at the camp,
Tuhon Bill McGrath.
