About us: The Karda Training Association is a collection of practitioners and instructors with backgrounds in a wide variety of martial arts. The focus of the association is on developing strategies for countering empty handed and weapon related encounters. We use different teaching methods such as our "verses drills", "installation exercises", and "developmental feeding" to deliver the information to the practitioner and efficiently transition them from drilling to combat. The "verses drills" are divided into different areas of training that show how empty hands and different weapons can work against each other, for example, empty hands vs. empty hands, knife vs. empty hands, knife vs. knife, etc... with multiple drills for each area. The "Installation exercises" take the information from the verses drills and train the student to use that information as they would in actual combat through various "live", but controlled exercises. Examples of the exercises include: Feed countering During this kind of exercise the student trains the counters to specific attacks. The attacks are fed at random, and typically the student works several counters for each attack. As the exercise progresses more and more attacks are eventually added in. Recovery countering Basically there are two different ways to counter someone. They attack you, and then you counter that attack...or you attack them, they recover out of it, and you counter that recovery. This type of exercise deals with just that. Countering the way people recover from your attacks. Game control The students learn to recognize the "way" their opponent is fighting, and then trains the strategies that work well in those situations. The purpose of the exercises are to simulate different facets of combat and train the student to operate within those facets. Training them separately at first and then, over time, progressively combining them as the simulation begins to evolve more and more into actual combat. "Developmental feeding" develops a persons ability to apply material on demand. A senior drives a student to a more reflexive combative state and then allows the student to successfully apply material. This kind of training is also great for the senior because they get to work the counters to the material that the student is trying to apply. |
