Thai Double Sword:
Introduction to Krabi Krabong
Jun. 19 - Aug. 7
Featured in recent movies like Ong Bak and Tom Yum Goong,
Krabi Krabong is Muay Thai with weapons! Fast, furious, and
made for battlefield combat, it applies double swords (dha) as well
as staff, spear, and forearm shields (mae sowks). While the techniques
are easy to learn, the real art is timing and strategy. This mini-course
is an introduction to double swords. Basic footwork, striking patterns,
and defenses will be taught. As well, the traditional dance (ram
daab) will also be briefly covered.
One 1.5 hour class per week, for 8 weeks - starts Jun. 19.
Open to all levels of experience. Limited space available (maximum
12 people). Call or email ahead to reserve:
