As already mentioned, I attended Hock's first annual Archipelago Combatives camp last weekend. It was worth every penny I spent.
In a nutshell, Hock streamlined his entire course and made it more combative. He eliminated some of the fancier material and added some really good combat drills. Also, since the course contains material from sources other than Filipino, Hock decided to discontinue using the Filipino terminology.
In all, I would recommend this camp to anyone interested in hardcore applicatins of the stick and knife. For anyone interested, the camp will be held again this same time next year.
