FROM WORKSHOP TO PERSONAL STUDY

Live teaching, ready to revisit.

The footage documents demonstrations, questions, exercises and corrections with eleven participants. The edit preserves the workshop’s character, including some small imperfections, because the value of the teaching is what matters.

Who it is for: the course is best suited to people familiar with partner training who wish to study Latosa Combat Escrima principles further. It does not replace a complete beginners’ course or an instructor’s supervision.

Original Italian audio with embedded English subtitles. The programme is public; watching lessons requires an authorised account. Online purchases are unavailable.
