BIG TREE COMBAT ACADEMY

At BTCC we teach classical German KDF techniques from the late medieval and early renaissance period in a way that makes them accessible and easy to learn, yet still hard to master! Drawing on modern training methods and practices we combine historical techniques with modern sports science in a unique and extremely effective manner.
