The Weapons Training Program at ATA Irvine

Our weapon classes are part of the Black Belt Club & Leadership class material.

Ssahng Jeol Bong (Nunchucku)

This course was developed primarily for all of our "Karate for Kids", but many of the adult students have shown an interest as well. It gives students a solid foundation in the basics of the Ssahng Jeol Bong and helps them understand how this exciting weapon works. The material taught in this course is taken from several different backgrounds, pulling the best and most effective techniques from each. As with the other weapons, the benefits include improved upper body development, better hand-eye coordination, increased concentration and a great deal of fun. We are sure you will find this course to be both challenging and extremely enjoyable.

Single Stick, Double Stick, & Disarming

This course highlights the most popular techniques of the Filipino stick fighting systems, as well as incorporates aspects of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean martial arts. The stick course gives students the basics for training in just about any weapons system. It also helps develop hand-eye coordination and is great physical exercise.

Jahng Bong (Long Staff)

This course offers one of the most effective long range weapons used in early Korea. It is a combination of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese techniques which allows us to use the best of each style. Besides learning this beautiful weapon, the benefits include increased self-defense skills and tremendous upper body strength, as well as improved concentration, coordination, focus and self-confidence.
