The TMA weapons division was started in April of 2005. It is taught by 6th degree black belts and Master Instructors Mike Kaiser and Andy Bradbury. Originally, the weapons class was offered only as an extra portion of training to the regular class schedule. But in 2005, interest was growing and the decision was made to make it a separate structured program and curriculum. The program consists of training with the bo, nunchaku, tonfa, sai, and eskrima sticks. Instead of the dee (belt), rank is designated as colored stripes on the left sleeves of the doboks (uniforms). Class is held on Saturday mornings from 8:30 to 9:45am at Master Stangle's dojang. To train in the weapons program a student must have achieved orange belt or higher rank in regular class and students under 12 years of age must have a parent/guardian's permission. |
