Session leader

Ben Bridwell

Technical detail, creative movement, and room to laugh.

01 / Overview

Savate & expression

Ben is a founding member of Milwaukee Savate Club and the Lyceum. His work connects technical structure with personal expression, bringing humor and a playful energy to shared practice.

02 / Background

What informs the work.

His background includes traditional Chinese martial arts, Savate, forms performance, and the MKG blend. He is interested in how lineage and intention live inside movement, and how Savate’s rhythm and striking mechanics can open another avenue for exploration.

03 / On the mat

How the practice unfolds.

Sessions with Ben bring together technical drills, conditioning, and movement experiments. He trains collaboratively with Jim and Nick, encouraging people to explore how deliberate mechanics support confident, expressive movement.

Good training is collaborative. Bring your questions, share your limits, and help your partners learn. The person guiding a session remains part of that exchange.
