OKICHITAW INDIGENOUS MARTIAL ARTS Program (every Wed and Sat at the NCCT)

Okichitaw Indigenous Martial Arts is taught at the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto located at 16 Spadina Road in Toronto ON. This martial art is a unique, powerful, practical martial art system that uses basic but aggressive combat movements that were employed specifically throughout Plains Indigenous Warfare. ​Based on Indigenous Plains combat techniques and tactics, this concurrent version of the combat art embodies the spirit of the Plains Warrior fighting and warfare applications through the utilization with traditional weapons. All hand, foot and body mechanics are a reflection of specific Plains Cree weaponry and their respective movements. Indigenous weaponry such as tomahawk, lance, gunstock warclub and knife are used in advanced training.
