Blind Spot

Global Mosaic Foundation and Taka Strike Club presented a firearm safety and action course for performers.

Firearms handling learned from high-stress, realistic simulations rooted in some of South Africa’s most elite self-defence systems. Skills drawn from close-combat martial arts techniques and drills feeding into hand-to-hand combat and multi-weapon choreography — knives, katanas, eskrima sticks and more — alongside the safety protocols and how to translate them to set and stage.
