Dragon Warrior Combat Master Class with Stephen Tapilatu & Johann De Silva

This special seminar features ITF legend Stephen Tapilatu alongside top coach Johann De Silva. The atmosphere throughout the session was energetic, supportive and inspiring – a masterclass in how to lift your sparring performance under world-class guidance.

Across a full 2 hour 20 minute session, these coaches take you through a complete progression: a challenging warm up, footwork patterns, timing drills, innovative counters, angles for sparring, and finally a combined partner routine that you can practise with anyone.

The short clip above highlights one of the key reminders emphasised throughout the seminar – keeping your hands up and maintaining structure under pressure.

From the warm-up phase, the emphasis is on mobility, balance, rhythm and distancing – building strong foundations for the more advanced drills that follow.

This image captures the fun and camaraderie of the two coaches.

You’ll learn counters, angle changes and tactical responses that are effective for sparring at every level, all demonstrated with clear explanations and practical coaching detail.

Later in the session, both coaches guide participants through partner routines designed to tie all the concepts together.
