Founded in late 2004, and passionately dedicating to the study of historical weaponry ever since. Highly unique and one-of-a-kind specialized weapons, called RSW, allows everyone to practice and spar with historical weaponry in the safest and most realistic manner.
Each session consists of: - Training in unarmed techniques. With understanding, techniques can be applied to a wide range of weapons. - Sparring with Realistic Sparring Weapons. News 25 April 2010 1 Jan 2010 Happy New Year 2010!! 2009 was a very very eventful year. Right at the beginning, we were invited for Chingay 2009, one of THE most prestigious events in Singapore. And then we got invited for more workshops in Community Centres, and eventually branched into conducting regular courses. I believe each one of us gained valuable life-experience through these events that helped you to enrich your life. Plans have already been made for 2010. A new year, and a new beginning. Let's work together to achieve more breakthroughs this year! Happy New Year 2010!! 19 Dec 2009 Temasek Poly Demonstration A big thank you to Samson, Roy, Desmond, Calvin for making it to our Temasek Poly demonstration. It was a splendid exchange session when we get to spar with some Kendo practitioners. View the photos here! Special thanks to Cindy, for taking the photos ;-) 18 Oct 2009 Please note that we have a confirmed workshop at Bukit Panjang CC next Sunday, 25 Oct 2009, so no regular sessions at Toa Payoh Town Park then.
30 Sept 2009 Greg's big birthday party is coming up! Let me know if you can make it on 10th Oct, Saturday. And Calvin has taken some photos of his own, take a look! 19 Aug 2009 I made a video compilation, using footage from 2007 to 2009, in honour of the efforts put in by the hardworking souls in our group. The soundtrack is one of two, which was used during our live demonstration at Chingay 2009 in Jan. Enjoy! =) 13 Jul 2009 View pictures from the Gekiken demo done at Suntec City on 11 and 12 July 2009! 23 Jun 2009 Japanese swordsmen sparring with RSW at SwordFest 2009. 25 May 2009 Zhihong is back in Singapore for a while from overseas studies, and took pictures of our session today. - Samson and Zero in spear fight: Pic1, Pic2, Pic3, Pic4, Pic5, Pic6, Pic7 - Kevin and Andrew's Weapons - Jack in Seigan no Kamae - Zero vs Greg's Buckler - Jack, cross-spear vs Greg's sword and buckler: Pic1, Pic2, Pic3, Hook It! - Andrew and Jack in close combat - Andrew with BasketHilt Broadsword vs Haoyu with Spear - Andrew with BasketHilt Broadsword vs Jack with Cross-Spear - Jack got stabbed in the throat by Andrew - Samson with Nito vs Andrew with Baskethilt and Dirk: Pic1, Pic2 - Zero smiling after getting chopped by Greg - Jack, Nito 1 - Jack, Nito 2 10 March 2009 Just to share 2 interesting videos with everyone: - Video: Greg uses his new Tomahawk and Bowie Knife, while Jack uses his new sparring rifle/bayonet (1.7m long, modelled after the Japanese WWII Arisaka Rifle). - Video: Interesting sword sparring activity by the Japanese.

O.O 31st Jan 2009 Our humble training group was invited to demonstrate at the prestigous national event of the year, Chingay 2009. Read the full report and pictures! 28 Dec 2008  Huge thanks to everyone who attended the Christmas-cum-New Year session today. Especially the pioneers of this training group, and everyone who joined us in 2008: - Greg, for your dedicated attendance! - Haoyu, for your silent efforts - Caili, for your helpfulness - Jeremy, good luck in NS! We didn't forget you! =D - Zero, for your dedicated efforts - Norman, slay us with your Pudao! - Aaron, for your generosity - Melvin, for your enthusiasm - Simon!, for your most heartfelt efforts in training. Good luck in Australia! - Thomas, have a speedy recovery - Shunjing, for your hardworking efforts, keep it up! - Alexis, miss teasing you =D - Darelle, for your enthusiasm - Leonard and Luel, for bringing your friends along Without the dedication efforts, attendance and contributions by everyone, this training group would not have been here today. Great effort displayed by the newcomers, hope to see each one of you soon! ;-) Here's wishing everyone a fruitful year coming ahead! See you all next year! ;-) 2 Nov 2008 I would like to take this opportunity to highlight something. Today (2 Nov 2008), Zero was late in setting off from home. If he had taken the MRT, he would have been late for our training/sparring session. So despite being a youth without much source of income, he spent his own money to take a taxi down, just so he can be on time. Much appreciated commendable effort, attitude and sense of responsibility. Well done, Zero!
14 Oct 2008 Quote: Society will never become a pleasant place in which to live if its members continue to expect someone else to do those things which require a spirit of self-sacrifice. – Otake Risuke Simon's flight to Australia is this Sunday, 19 Oct 2008, 6.10pm. Simon has been one of the backbone of our group. One of the more hardworking and regularly attending ones around. Furthermore, he has gone out of the way to help promote our group to his friends, and not to forget, bringing the spare helmet down for you guys. Let's wish Simon a safe journey and all the best in Australia. Anyone wanna go to the airport to send him off together, please contact me. Thanks! 10 Oct 2008

2 Sep 2008 Just something to share here. In this video from Hong Kong, Lancelot's weekly sparring videos, you can see that Lancelot sparred with someone who turned up with his own home-made sword and it broke within 3 of Lancelot's strikes.

Look for me during training for the answer. ;-) 12 Jun 2008 I don't usually watch much anime, but I came across this title which was recommended by someone in a Kendo forum.

Location: Toa Payoh Town Park Timing: Every Sunday, 10.30am Lian He Zao Bao News Article 10 Jun 2009  www.Gekiken.org Someday, in the years to come, you'll be wrestling with the Great Temptation, or trembling under the Great Sorrow of your life. But the real struggle, is here. Now. Now it is being decided, whether in the day of your supreme sorrow or temptation, you shall fail miserably or gloriously conquer. Character cannot be made, except by a steady long continued process. ~ Philips Brooks Play contact sports? Learn from Rocky from: The New Paper, 20 April 2010, Reader Ace Kindred Cheong After reading the reports, "Opponent says: I was just scoring points" and "Teacber hands in assault evidence" (The New Paper, April 16), I have to say that in sports, the most important is not winning or losing. What is important is sportsmanship, fair play and the need to be aware of everyone's safety. Those who do sports, especially contact sports like rugby and taekwondo, should learn from Rocky, played by Sylvester Stallone. He could have own a boxing round but chose not to land a punch that could have killed his opponent. |
