Creating our individual style is a natural process. Everyone develops their style automatically. This statement is general but can be applied to any specific field—martial arts, combat sports, and self-defence are no exceptions. People who practice fighting are constantly creating their own fighting styles. They are, consciously or unconsciously, the creators of their unique approach to combat.

Sweapons (or simply Sweap ) is my personal armed martial art style. The system focuses on six practical and versatile weapons. These are both realistic for self-defence situations and rich in artistic expression and application. This weapon-based style includes techniques that cover short and long weapons, flexible and rigid types, as well as single- and double-handed usage. Each weapon also resembles some kind of everyday object, adding to its practical relevance. The six primary weapons in Sweap are: Stick Nunchaku ( Twik ) Long stick ( Lonk ) Tonfa ( Brak ) Chain Knife Practicing Sweap is both an enjoyable and physically conditioning experience, carried out with a clear sense of purpose and practicality.
