Vagabond Warriors

 We live in an age where information has never been more accessible. Longgone are the days when most martial arts schools jealously restrictedtheir students from being able to train in other disciplines. CCMA was notborn out of a tradition or culture, but honours the spirit of the nomadicfighter and the scientific method. “Vagabond Warriors”, created by JamieClubb the presenter/writer behind the best-selling DVD series CrossTraining in the Martial Arts, offers students and instructors, regardlessof their level of experience, an opportunity to experiment, research, testand evaluate different training methods. Our unique workshops and seminarsdevelop training regimes with groups of like-minded free-thinking peopleto further the study of effective and efficient methods for self defenceand combat sports. The following three areas are the most lacking in the education ofcombative systems – be they for self defence or sport – and “VagabondWarriors” uses them as guide for our training programmes. C.S.I. – Clarification, Scepticism and Individuality Clarification – Beginning with the objective in mind. Defining andaddressing everything we do with a clear single short-term and long-termtarget. Objectives dictate the exercise from the warm-up movements you doto the classes you choose. Scepticism – Rational critical thinking. We find flaws in trainingexercises in order to progress learning experiences and to reduce personalweaknesses. CCMA tests concepts and creates experiments to test claims. Individuality – Interpersonal violence is personal, so above all else thesingle learner should be at the centre of all aspects of training. Other areas discussed and covered in include the Hierarchy of Training,accredited courses, is your self-defence training any good? and thebenefits of attribute training. Date: Saturday 3rd September 2011 Venue: St Nicholas School, Priory Road, Kenilworth, Warwickshire Contact: jamie@clubbchimera.com <http://webmail.clubbchimera.com/3rdparty/squirrelmail/src/compose.php?send_to=jamie%40clubbchimera.com> Price: £25 per person (group rates available. Kit: Gym clothes, any training gear, water, notepad and pen Teas and coffees provided on site.
