Martial Arts and Self Defense Workshops
Octogen is excited to announce a new series of martial arts and self defense workshops run by expert guest presenters.
From ground fighting to weapons defence these workshops may just be the most important workshops you ever attend!
Our first self defense workshop features internationally acclaimed knife figthing and knife defense expert Ray Floro.
Knife crime is becoming more and more common in Australia and as much as we’d all like to bury our heads in the sand and pretend that it can’t happen to us the reality is that there is a good chance you or someone close to you could be a victim!
In fact less than two weeks ago on the 3rd of September the liqour store across the road from where I live was held up at knife point and without even realising it I came within minutes of walking into the middle of the holdup!
Ray has trained US and Korean Special Forces, the Australian Defence Forces unarmed combat instructors, NSW police and hundreds of martial artists.
Unlike some traditional martial arts Rays techniques are designed to be simple to learn and instinctive to apply under stress. In this action packed 3 hour workshop Ray will show you
- The devastating effect that knives and improvised weapons can have
- When to fight and when to run
- Basic principles of defense against cutting and stabbing weapons
- Simple defense and counter techniques that you’ll learn in minutes and remember for a lifetime
- How to utilise commonly carried items to defend against armed and unarmed attacks
- Common mistakes people make when facing an armed aggressor
Bottom line – This workshop may just save your life!!
