The tomahawk is a weapon that has been used in every major American conflict, from frontier wars at our country’s inception to the latest actions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and more. It has served our forefathers and our military both as an every day tool and as a protective device. In its most modern configuration, the tomahawk is a well balanced weapon that also serves as a breaching tool in urban warfare scenarios and is used by many Special Forces personnel.

There is very little training available for the tactical tomahawk in modern times, but the unique characteristics of this weapon make it exceptionally useful and devastating. It is more than a hacking tool, it is a multifaceted instrument suitable for percussion as well as grappling application. Martial Tactical Training of Michigan is honored to provide our training curriculum exploring the tactical tomahawk.

Topics covered include:

Proper stance with the tomahawk.
Brief history from the initial stages of our country to its modern use.
Frontier era usage, carry, and deployment.
Modern usage, carry, and deployment.
Percussion and grappling applications using various aspects of the tomahawk.
