Tom Fazio Training
Tom Fazio's Soft Weapons System
The sash dart and sash whip are Tom's modern interpretations of the classical kung fu rope dart, meteor hammer, and chain whip. While these sashes are built for whipping and shooting, they can be adapted to close quarter fighting - intercepting, locking, and controlling.
Tom's 'Art of the Sash' is the most comprehensive soft weapons system available to serious practitioners. After 20 years of soft weapons study, including mentorship under under warrior monks and self defense experts, Tom has innovated his own system that spans the spectrum of technical possibilities, drawing from rope dart and meteor hammer techniques for long range shooting, chain whip and nine segment lash techniques for intermediate whipping and striking, and drawing from sarong fighting, classical kung fu, and hapkido rope techniques for close quarter locking, controlling, choking and binding. The sash is as deadly as it is aesthetic.
