Okichitaw Indigenous Weapons. Gunstock Warclub, Tomahawk, Knife.

Okichitaw is an indigenous martial art based on the fighting methods of the warriors of the Assiniboine and Plains Cree Indian nations. In this compilation, Chief George J. Lepine introduces us to the use of 3 of the most feared weapons of the Indian warriors: Gunstock Warclub, the Tomahawk and the knife. The Gunstock Warclub was one of the most powerful impact weapons, as in addition to striking with incredible force, it could also cut or jab. Because of its similarity to a rifle, the Gunstock War Club was also used to make the enemy believe that they were in possession of firearms. The combat Tomahawk was one of the most prized weapons among warriors, an instrument that history has placed in our minds as aggressive and ruthless. Chief Lepine explains in detail the basic working concepts with the Tomahawk, training, throwing, the 20 movements, defense and attack applications, and counter techniques. Finally we will know the traditional method of training the handling of the "Mokiman" knife, alone, taking advantage of what nature offers us, the trees, the ground, the water, ... in order to develop optimal body mechanics to offer the maximum amount of impact to an opponent. With this work, Okichitaw continues to honor indigenous traditions to ensure not only that this knowledge remains, but that we continue to move the same way our ancestors did. 61 min.
