FAC Toronto Open House

I attended the Fighting Arts Collective Toronto Open house recently.
FAC is an amazing collective of various fighting arts, from Western Martial arts, Archery, Wing Chun, Jeet Kun Do, Systema, even some Circus Arts. I look forward to seeing this every year, as there is always so many interesting and amazing demonstrations. If you are looking for something wonderfully different and interesting to do in Toronto, I highly recommend you check them out. They are all amazing people who train with high levels of dedication, respect and love for what they do, it is inspiring to watch!

Beau's Free Scholler Test

Recently my boyfriend Beau underwent his Free Scholler test at AEMMA for which he had trained for 6 months. You must demonstrate proficency in all weapons described in Fiore's treatise(s).

Aaron acted as his Zugadore, or his second.
In the first part of the test you must be able to demonstrate and fully explain each technique.
In the second part of the test you must fight all of the current free scholars, with whatever weapon they chose, until they were satisfied. Beau passed with flying colours, I am so proud :)
He was too tuckered to take part in the tournament afterwards, but his Zugadore Aaron went on to win a well fought victory! They stayed until the wee hours to celebrate. Here are some shots from the day.
