This course is not about preparing for an eventual catastrophe that may never come, it is about living life on the top of your game, knowing your limits and how to push beyond them, and learning to blend with the natural landscape in a profound way.
For past hunter gatherers, survival depended on the awareness, skill, and cunning of their scouts. The scouts held the role of protectors by being the eyes and ears of the tribe. The skills of high speed invisible survival, stealth, natural camouflage,martial arts, traps, tracking, team movement, and advanced awareness were all brought to their highest levels by the ancient scouts who protected our ancestors. This course will be an introduction to this vast world. Days will be long and filled with a variety of the previously mentioned skills, and nights will be late with nighttime exercises challenging students to apply what they have learned. Must be willing to work through demanding situations in a team and learn through edge experiences. Fast-paced, high-intensity, and as much fun as we know how to have. As well as the Roots Instructor Staff, Ben Goodrich, of New England Ninjutsu will joining us to instruct in basic Taijustsu techniques daily.
In order to learn a skill it must be practiced and honed in practical circumstances. A great deal of this course is spent in a scenario we devise in order to pit students against threats in a learning environment. This time is where the real magic of this course occurs as students are cut loose with their team in order to employ the skills they have learned to complete their objectives. There is no way we know of to learn so much, so quickly, while pushing so hard, and yet somehow it is the most fun we have all year.
In some cases the prerequisites can be waived if students have taken equivalent courses at another school, please call or email to confirm before applying.
Questions about this course are welcome.
