The Bowie knife in the hands of a well trained fighter is one of the most devastating weapons ever developed. This seminar introduces a practical and efficient system of using a Bowie knife.

Named for James Bowie, who killed his mortal enemy Norris Wright with a large knife at the Vidalia Sandbar Fight in 1827, the Bowie knife came to be carried by soldiers, mountain men and settlers throughout the United States.

Students should wear comfortable work out clothes including a heavy duty sweatshirt, light leather gloves, rigid eye protection, and a belt. Men must wear an athletic cup.

Other suggested gear includes fencing mask or closed face martial arts head protection; padded gloves, such as hockey gloves or equivalent; martial arts chest protection; forearm protection, such as soccer shin pads; rigid elbow protection, such as for street hockey. Some loaner gear will be available.
