Join us as we explore how to most effectively teach historical martial arts using ideas of gamification, active learning principles, and training techniques taken from elite combat sports. This workshop will focus on creating a class environment that helps fencers learn to apply techniques in a live fire environment against a resisting opponent.
For the workshop we will be joined by Kaja Sadowski. Kaja has been a physical instructor since 2004, and taught figure skating, rock climbing, and mountaineering before coming to martial arts in 2010. They joined the coaching team at Valkyrie Western Martial Arts Assembly in 2012, and created the beginner program shortly afterwards. They currently teach group and private lessons to students of all experience levels, in multiple countries.
Kaja's primary weapons are the rapier and longsword, and they also teach unarmed striking, grappling, and knife combat. Their interests vary from the historical to the modern, and range from recreational martial arts to practical self defence and professional use of force. Kaja was a civilian auxiliary with the Vancouver Police Department’s Force Options Training Unit from 2015-2020, participating in realistic tactical training scenarios and providing guest instruction to their Special Municipal Constable program.
