ART OF ARMS
ART OF ARMS
Art of arms is a new theme started up by instructor Aurelio Goncalves, in which he has 23 years experience in martial arts like Karate, Wing Tsun and Escrima, from which came his experience in weapons.
The significance of the name given ‘Art of Arms’ is simply the use of various types of white weapons (short white weapons).
This is not, in any way a creation of new techniques of this martial art, but to make use of the vast knowledge of various years of training.
The objective of this exercise is for the students to have an exclusive opportunity in experimenting and handling these white weapons and also the armour, spears and shields, e.t.c.
Just the thought of this being based on prehistoric wars (for example, that of the Roman Empire period) and to get the feel of the weight and handling of these weapons, like the armours and other objects that they used in those times, brings on an extraordinary adrenalin!
The art of arms is not creating history. On the contrary, this art gives a new opportunity to relive the history of our primitive ancestors of the third millennium Bc.
Unfortunately, there are limited international schools that practice these white weapons. The intention of adding this theme to the BWT programme is to make a great team of the future that practice these weapons and maintain the use of them, in order to keep alive this fascinating history that is fading away in the future of our society.
* For safety reasons, adults from the age of 20 can only practice Art of Arms.
