The concept of the adult or warrior is universal amongst Hunter-Gatherers. It is quite different to our concept and, surprisingly, is as useful in our culture as it is in theirs. We have looked at a large number of these definitions from around the world and have produced a working system to enable people to understand importance of becoming a Warrior.

Hunter-Gatherer groups in Africa, Europe and Asia don't fight each other - Warriors are there to protect the weak, sick, elderly, pregnant or very young from predators. They walk on the outside of a group, armed, alert and ready to deter or fight threatening animals.

Being rather short of predators to train on we have moved Warrior School into the Neolithic (There's a lot of evidence pointing to human-human conflict starting then) and therefore can fight each other.

Indoors or out, from 10am to 4pm
