Weapons within ICHF curriculum

[MarcoPolo]

I know that CH utilizes weapons and weapon disarms in its curriculum. Does anyone know if these are contained at some level in the BB DVD series? Are they contained only in the add-on DVD's or are the add-on's just additional "specialization"?

Thanks for your help guys!

I have the old series.
The black belt series 2nd to 6th has no weapons.

The weapons are found on seperate videos/DVDs,
knife,cane,short stick and pistol and long weapons disarms.

As JimH pointed out, the core curriculum has no set weapons technqiues (although there are some disarming technqiues on the "old tapes" in the masters series).

Generally you can pick and choose what weapons you'd like to work with based on your preference and what the school offers.
-The ICHF cane tapes are quite good (and can be supplemented with the Canemasters material)
- The short stick program is supposed to be very good (I haven't seen it yet but I bet it is)
-Master Melegrito's stick and knife DVDs are getting good reviews (I want these)

Take a look at the video library at www.ichf.com for a better idea what there is out there.
Have fun!

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm looking forward to beginning my ICHF journey!
