    These Courses will teach the essentials of Stav training and practice and how to apply them as a basis for self–defence training. Please wear loose, comfortable clothes and bring a notebook and pen.

    The programme will include:

  • Gentle and effective warm–up exercises for mobility and flexibility.
  • The sixteen stances which are the core of all Stav training and practice.
  • Nine foundation exercises upon which a comprehensive range of Close Quarter Combat techniques can be based.
  • Dagger training drills which are a simple and direct way to learn the weblines as they apply to the human body. From this you can develop an awareness of body mechanics for practicing locks and takedowns.
  • Working with the five principles of Stav. We will use drills which use grabs as the attacks and then move on to defences against knife attack. Watch the embedded video to see the five principles applied to knife defence.
  • All training will be geared to developing the Six Essential Qualities of Martial Training and if you don't know what those are then sign up below and find out
  • Beginners welcome and this will be an ongoing programme leading up to the Stav Summer Camp in July.
