Thank you for sharing, nicely done. I’m a student of Danny Hoskin’s over in the UK. It’s good to see what other people are up to. The weather is a lot better where you are!

Full study, so nice and neat. Cansee how it is useful.
I have seen several people attempting to show people how to use a tomahawk and knife in combat. Why do every one of them I have seen make seriously dangerous assumptions in practice and demonstration? The first assumption is, that they and their opponent are the only ones on the battle field. I would think twice about standing three inches face to face with my attacker as I make four separate cuts to the throat, body or whatever. Not only will you risk being blinded by the spray of a thick red viscous substance in your eyes, it's not like water, but the extra three cuts you didn't need to take the time to do, after hacking the neck are dangerous ones. These are Dojo habits that have nothing to do with technique and everything to do with training mindset. We all want to look sexy and tacticool. I guess that is where this excessive hacking and chopping on an already dead enemy comes from...yes? The concentration on footwork and timing and proper alignment and good proven technique will give the skill. It is mindset that will pull you through the battle. On the battle field there is no time for ego. You play like you practice so practice like you will be playing. You don't want your training habits to get you killed by being focused on habits learned off the battle field like excessive hacking and cutting. I have seen some good techniques but the mindset of the instructors has discouraged me from them as mentors. Martial artists call these instructors information warehouses. They have a lot of good information but not a lot of knowledge on its proper application. One hack to the side of the neck and maybe, one fallow up slash to the throat, if battle time permits is sufficient. Focusing on "Chop chop cut cut" and that big spray of blood and foul air in your face from their bloody lungs might get you a buttstock, bayonet or a bullet in the back of your head for lack of awareness. You will be fighting people with body armor and automatic weapons. They will be stacked on your streets. It is best to train realistically for what we may face ahead as a nation. I offer my opinion speaking from 35 years experience in the martial arts Train safe and realistically fellow patriots...

I would agree! Thank you for the long critique, these are points we talk about. The combos shown are interpretations from Cherokee war dances to teach basic angles, etc.. Actual combat scenarios are much more "drive by". The intent was to kill the other person as quickly as possible and move on to the next.

@@dsrtjedi Robin, been interested in Native American martial arts styles ever since I've started FMA and then horseback riding. I've understood that a lot of techniques drilled solo can be interpreted as dance, forms and or kata. Are there Native American dances or forms you know of that displays in the exercise of Native American martial arts?

@@allenquindiagan3836 If you study the war dances of almost any culture, you will see elements of their martial arts. Hawaiian male hula, The Scottish sword dance, Even some Italian courtly dances had rapier footwork. For the movements above, find videos of Cherokee dances and you will see tomahawk (or warclub) and knife. Unfortunately, so much has been lost from native cultures that we are a reconstructing stage. Robert Redfeather - Apache Knife has a family system. Danny Hoskins has a number of excellent videos on various tribes fighting arts and there is also Okichitaw who presents their version of First Peoples arts.
