BULLWHIP COMBATIVES AT MULTIPLE RANGES with Sensei Anthony De Longis and Grand Master Ron Lew

BULLWHIP COMBATIVES AT MULTIPLE RANGES with Sensei Anthony De Longis and Grand Master Ron Lew

The culmination of over 100 years of collective martial arts training and experience. Offering great options for both martial and performance choreography applications.

De Longis created and refined his “De Longis Rolling Loop” methodology based on five decades of European sword training with Maestro Ralph Faulkner, Filipino bladed weapons with Guro Dan Inosanto and Japanese katana with Kaiso Toshishiro Obata and Sensei Mathew Lynch. He often refers to the whip as a 'super-sonic flexible blade'. His unique methods utilize structure and alignment to produce explosive accurate energy with maximum efficiency and minimum effort and offers a variety of precision strikes and body envelopments at Long Range. The De Longis method also employs effective Medium and Close Range combative applications utilizing the companion hand as well as the Baton, Punyo / Pommel and ‘Big Loop’ Thong for striking, redirecting, trapping and submission techniques.

Joining Sensei De Longis is Senior Grand Master Ron Lew, an expert at close range fighting to join his explorations. Master Ron Lew has over 50 years of martial arts study and training and is an 11th degree Black Belt in Eskrima and Eskrito. He developed his own unique bullwhip martial form called the Tibetan Wave, based on his work in Tai Chi, Tibetan energy work and Cacoy Canete Doces Pares Eskrima and Eskrido.

This is not a ‘beginners’ whip presentation, it requires solid fundamental skills and whip control to get the most out of our shared martial explorations. De Longis recommends studying Mastering the Bullwhip: The Supersonic Flexible Blade, Vol 3&4.
