Pencil Sketching Techniques

Brand New Weekly Classes @ Studio Pamphile Venue New Location. Urban Krav Maga is a defence system that: The Urban Krav Maga aim is to equip the student as soon as possible to defend themselves against the most common attacks they may face. Once the student has mastered these techniques more difficult scenarios are addressed to build a support system that will enable the student to deal with almost any situation. By teaching concepts through techniques, students are taught how to read a situation and react/respond accordingly, even if they have not experienced that exact same scenario in training. Giving students the ability to improvise is an important element of our training, this is not like learning a kata. Awareness, avoidance and pre-emption are placed high in order of priority but we recognise that you can’t always avoid a potential violent encounter. We teach everything that is needed for self defence when it’s necessary in all environments, including, highly confined, crowded spaces, cars, shopping centres, nightclubs, buses etc. We make no apologies for our civilian approach to street violence and our subsequent breakaway from the original military solutions in dealing with armed attackers: a knife defence based on somebody attacking like they were making a committed bayonet thrust will not be so effective as one that is based on somebody stabbing with an aggressive pumping/piston motion with fast recoil when we are dealing with today’s street. As stated we retain the term Krav Maga as our approach reflects that on which Krav Maga was originally founded and we are, of course, indebted to the experiences we have gained training with the various Israeli Fighting Systems

Just come with an open mind and be ready to move. **About the instructor – Sophian Ben** Sophian is a French martial arts enthusiast with years of Taekwondo practice and teaching experience. He speaks French, Spanish, English and Mandarin, and can give simple cues in Cantonese, so international and local participants can all follow along. **Class fee: Free** ☆ This is a free community class, and Sophian is happy to share his movement practice and help grow the group. If you enjoy the session, your support is always appreciated, whether that means coming along, bringing friends, leaving a nice comment on Meetup, or making a donation if you feel like it. ☆ Regular Taekwondo classes in Hong Kong usually cost around HKD 250 to 300 per session. **What to bring** ● Comfortable sportswear (no need for uniform) ● Trainers / sports shoes ● Water bottle **Meeting point** We meet on the concrete platform by the waterfront in Tamar Park.
