October 2013, Breda, Netherlands

Right. Back from Holland tour. I think… No, I am positive I am in one peace, still checking though.

About a 100 fighters. Average height, what 1.90? Goodness me, what do you guys eat?!
Amazing experience: fighters from Holland and Belgium, Russia and Spain, Israel and France… Thank you all, I am overwhelmed, I really am.
Knife combat, machete fighting, improvised weapons, empty hand vs knife solutions, extreme close quarters and sparring – sparring – sparring. We fight ALL the attendants on the floor, always.
New level of understanding achieved, fighting skills honed, knife awareness attained, respect for the blade – acquired.
Speed, reflexes, timing and, of course, tactics – covered.
