SaCO

In Tomsk (Siberia), the local trainer Vsevolod Nikolaev from Biysk was able to successfully pass his examination for brown belt with red stripe / 1.A student level.

The use of the Tessen – the short stick up to 30 cm long, was the course content of the 2024 annual course.

Almost 50 martial artists from more than 10 clubs met in the usual sunny weather at the host Jiu-Jitsu Blankenburg for the traditional January course with course leader Frank Pelny.

It was about an extremely serious topic: How do I defend myself against an attacker with a knife?

The focus of this year’s course was the use of Tonfa.

Hip use, body dynamics and knife techniques – another great course in Blankenburg under leading of Frank Pelny – in its 25th year!

Topics such as biomechanics, defense inside a car, field spade drill and an update on defense capability made this day special.

Military hand-to-hand combat (MNK) and Gjogsul are described in impressive battle scenes.

For four hours, 26 athletes intensively practiced sword hand strikes and elbow techniques, Tessen drill and defense with the help of a Tessen.

The first official SaCO seminar in Italy took place from 17.-20. April 2022 in Milan.
