Tofino Martial Arts

11/09/2023

Tofino Martial Arts is starting public classes again! Wednesday evenings starting at 6:45 pm at the Tofino community hall. Sign up through the District Recreation Department.

Tofino Martial Arts is a small, not for profit group dedicated to the development of real skill in martial arts. Our background is in various styles of gung fu and Filipino martial arts, but we draw on influences from all systems. With a focus on increasing awareness and self-protection, a typical class will include some high intensity physical conditioning, striking and tool development, drills, footwork, and scenario training. No experience required. Ages 16 and up. Message me for details.

“I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.”

- Abraham Lincoln

Maybe we should all take Abe’s advice when looking at martial arts.

I know a lot of knife experts will poke fun of this video and say things like “that would never work in the street” and “why would you willingly try to grapple with a knife wielding attacker” etc.

But if you look just a little further and are willing to learn from any source, you will see applications for this stuff which can be very useful. For instance: sometimes we fall down by accident, and if we have no training for that or at least the ability to be adaptable, all your favourite moves go out the window and things could go very bad for you.

Beautiful stuff.

Tofino Martial Arts is hosting a public workshop at the Tofino Community Hall on Sunday November 4th for those interested in learning about self protection and practicing martial arts. The workshop is open to anyone (age 18 and up).
Subsequently, and depending on the level of interest, we are planning to hold a weekly public class on Sunday mornings over the winter and spring. Again, anyone will be welcome, male or female, age 18 and up . The focus of the workshop and class will be on self protection and the life benefitting qualities of martial arts. Only those willing to commit and interested in working hard should attend.
