Tactical Response Training

These are a series of partner drills using empty hands, color coded sticks and staffs and later blunt steel weapons. They deal intensively with body targets, how to move them or shield them and the various weapons used to attack them. The emphasis is on detecting lines of attack in the space around the body and then moving the body around the line of attack. There are no set forms for this and personality determines much as to how the body actually moves. I was forced to develop these for students who were trapped by martial arts forms or had not had adequate physical education as a child.
Color coded sticks help the synapses in the eye
