BLUNT WEAPON COMBATIVES

Impact Weapons for Real-World Combat

Blunt weapon combat focuses on impact-based weapons such as baseball bats, batons, and sticks. These weapons have been used throughout history for their effectiveness in combat, self-defense, and law enforcement. Unlike edged weapons, blunt weapons rely on force, momentum, and precise targeting to neutralize threats effectively.

The Recon Method Approach

At Recon Sparring, we combine Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) with modern combat principles to create a functional and battle-tested approach to blunt weapon training. By studying proven techniques from historical manuals and adapting them for today’s threats, we ensure that our methods remain practical, effective, and adaptable for real-world scenarios.
