I know quite a few on this forum have asked about tomahawk instruction so I thought I would put in this 'shameless plug' for a really good training opportunity 12-13 July 07. It will be at the International Swordfighting and Martial Arts Convention (ISMAC) held in Detroit this year. You can find information on this at

http://artofcombat.org/public/thespis/convention/classes.html

My good friend and Expert Knife Instructor Steve Huff will be presenting a block of instruction titled The Fighting Arts of The Early Frontier-Advanced Tomahawk & Longknife along with Basic Bowie knife. He is also involved with John Lennox and Gareth Thomas in presenting a boarding action class that also has some tomahawk & axe training with it. You can find Steve's bio and classes specifics under the class schedule at the site I just mentioned. ISMAC has been a very successful annual event for the past 8 years. This will be the first time there will be a lot of 18th/19th century weapons as compared to the Rapier & Medieval boys. Also lots of boxing, cudgel, and staff work. I've supported this event each year because it exposes me to a variety of people involved in the martial arts outside my areas of interest. I can't recommend this enough. Check it out.

BTW- I'll be teaching an advance Bowie knife class along with some Falcata, Gladius, and staff work.
 
Your link doesn't work for me, Dwight.

And besides the tomahawk, do you recommend a training system for the staff?
 
Sounds like a great couple days. Hopefully time will be available...
Thanks for posting info !!!
 
I learned mine from my ole Kung Fu teacher, Grandmaster Hoy K. Lee...then used it as a base to go into the European fight books to figure out what they were trying to say. I don't think it matters much which particular system is used as long as you use it as 'the core' to depart from to make the stuff useful for you. Most Bow Staff work is worth the time.
