Sil Jeon Mu Sool and SWAT/LEO Seminar in NC

by Jim on July 15, 2009

CQB

Hey everyone!

Reminding all the folks in the North Carolina region that Master John Duncan is hosting a Sil Jeon Mul Sool seminar at his dojang as well as a exciting SWAT/LEO defensive tactics clinic for several Police Departments in the area. I’ll be there July 24th through the 26th.

The SJMS seminar will cover various aspects of the art with emphasis on the integrative nature of hands, stick and knife in relation to grappling.

The SWAT/LEO clinic will cover CQB weapon retention measures, high risk arrest and control techniqes and officer ground survival methods.

If you are in the area and can attend, contact Master Duncan for more information on either of the events.

Should be a great time!
