11:03Now PlayingTire Machet, known as Haitian machete fencing, is a mysterious martial art that only a select few have mastered. Professor Avril lifts the shroud of secrecy in this short documentary, 'Papa Machete.'
“This martial art is generally practiced in secrecy, and that secrecy dates back to its origins," says director Jonathan David Kane. "There were even moments during filming where the Professor Avril was reticent with aspects of his own practice. What he shows us in 'Papa Machete' is a rare gift, one which my team and I are truly fortunate to have been allowed to document and share with the world.”
