Just spent a great weekend training with Hock Hochheim. We covered so much stuff my head is still spinning - unarmed, knife and stick work, as well as touching on aspects of firearms work. Hock is a funny guy, with a great collection of war stories and recollection from his days with the military and civilian police forces. Check out his website if you don't know who Hock is.
Day one started with Hock's dodge/evasion drill (no it's not jumping out of the way of a classic American car) against knife and stick. Then we went through his military knife fighting, which is brutal and to the point. No fluff here! We then work some stick fighting combos from Kali and Escrima, including some great chokes and takedowns with the stick. Then we learned stick disarms.
Day two included Hock's Spartan series of drills, more stick work, lots more knife including disarms and knife grappling!
We worked through Hock's Stop 6 theory and much more, so much it was going in one ear and pushing day one's material out of the other ear.
Hock is a CQC legend and a character, if you get a chance to train with him, do so (it's well worth it).
