Host Your Own Boarding Actions Seminar! |
In the ever expanding field of western
historical martial arts, the HMCA leads
the way in the use of weapons of a
maritime nature. Our classes have been
taught across the USA and Canada. Now
you have the chance to host a class at
your school or fencing salle. With
instructors in Oregon, Michigan and
Maryland, and Acknowledged Instructors
across the country and abroad, a local
seminar can be easily arranged.
The HMCA Boarding Actions Seminar is
taught by qualified instructors in
historical maritime weapons from the 17th
thru 19th centuries. Nowhere else will you
be able to get hands-on training in such
weapons as cutlass, boarding axe, military
sabre and fighting tomahawk, as well as a
variety of other maritime weapons. The
two-day seminar spans over 12 hours and
includes all of the weapons above, taught
in an individual format as well as in
mixed-weapon scenarios. You will have the
opportunity to learn the history and
handling of these weapons in close quarter
combat practice and, with proper
protection apply these techniques against
various opponents. Check out our
Gallery
of past seminars.
