Who doesn’t love a good picnic in the park? Especially when maelstrom is serving up Thai weapons? Yummy! #buddhaisawan #krabikrabong #thaicombatarts #vancouverbc #martialarts
maelstrom is back in the park and mixing it up with regular #pekititirsiakali and #pencaksilat classes outdoors - Thursdays class was packed with instructors including #gurochris #lazydog who has become too strong for his own good. Another KIL fighting stick bites the rattan dust!

Gary and Loki doing social distance weapons - being safe with projectiles
Cutting scotch broom with a Burmese dha - working on getting a single cut through a full 2 inches of solid stem. Even with the whip cut (redondo in FMA terms), it is a challenge. About 2/3 through..,,
Looking to 2021 to be a kinder year, full of compassion and joy, having survived and thrived as family and community. Our best wishes to all of you as the calendar turns a page. See you soon.
Gary practicing his forehand live blade cutting at Sunday online #krabikrabong training - thanks for social distancing Gary. #buddhaisawan
#guruStas showing why the #golok -- one of the canonical weapons of #pencaksilat #gadjahputih -- is the length it is: this particular style of #silat has a strong focus on elbow techniques. This means that the golok, when held against the forearm as shown here, integrates almost seamlessly with the empty hand techniques already known.
Because we are concerned with the safety of our students and the welfare of our communities, #ancientfiredojo is currently not holding classes, but these days will come to an end, and when they do, the training will be legendary.

A big shoutout to the next generation of #pekititirsiakali instructors! #lakanguro Claire of #maelstrømmartialarts joins us @pekititirsiacanada @ancientfiremartialarts
Superheroes!!! Love these peeps - missing you. Stay tuned and we will be back in action soon.
From #pekititirsiakali class at #ancientfiredojo in September: nothing says "social distancing" like swinging two meters of wood. #guroZack is never unhappy when swinging a stick, and the bigger the stick, the bigger the grin.
Be like Zack!
