Foil Workshop with Maestri Ramon Martinez & Jeannette Acosta-Martinez, Feb 28-March 1, 2009

Maestri Ramon Martinez and Jeannette Acosta-Martinez well be in town the last week of February. Our instructor Cecil will be holding a small workshop on Saturday and Sunday, February 28 th & March 1 st . The first day of the workshop will focus on French foil and the use of blade actions. The second day the workshop will revisit those concepts with the use of the dagger. As time permits, the workshop would like to apply the same concepts to generalized self-defense actions at the close of the second day. The location has been moved to Sandpoint. Those who contact Cecil first will have the best odds of securing a spot in the workshop.
