On saturday we hosted a very successful self defense workshop with Ray.
We had 8 people attend with a bunch more who have indicated interest but who couldn’t make it this time around so we’ll be running a couple more workshops in february and march next year.
Ray kicked off with his famous “leg of lamb” demo, showing the devastating effect that improvised and edged weapons can have. I think he got everyones attention by putting a platic toothbrush straight through 4 inches of meat!
Ray then went on to demonstrate his universal shield technique for dealing with unarmed aggressors and talked about his philosophy of civilian self defence.
After that it was time to break out Rays patented “boffas” (padded wooden practive knives) for everyone to run through unarmed defence against a knife attack.
Once defence had been covered Ray moved on to some really simple but very effective counter attacks designed to buy enough time to escape an attack.
I could go on and on about the workshop but I think i’ll save it for the videos we shot on the day which i’ll edit this week and get up over the next few days!
