A Discussion on Sport Savate vs 'Defense danse Larue' (Street Self Defense) Mark Hatmaker interviews Craig Gemeiner

 

Most of you regular guys here know who Craig is. He's been a member at the Various forums on Close Combat For close to 20 years now. For those of you who don't know him, Craig is an Australian  Martial Arts and self defense instructor who has worked for years training both Combat Athletes for Sports competition as well as reviving the old style Self Defense methods that virtually disappeared in the wake of WW1 due to the large number of male deaths in combat.

He range of expertise covers unarmed combat, armed (cane/walking stick, longer sticks), and fencing.

I was fortunate to train with Craig twice back around 2010/2011. The man knows his business!
