Jeet Kune Do (JKD) Concepts
In this style, we focus on Bruce Lee's concepts, his methods for fighting and training, and his techniques. The advantage to using this style as opposed to other systems of martial arts is its totally adaptability to different situations.
The training methods used help students prepare for any situation because unfortunately violent attacks do not always happen in desirable conditions (i.e., a rainy night in a dark parking lot between two cars).
Training is broken up into three areas.
Area One - Kickboxing is learned in this phase of training. The repetition and drilling creates a good foundation in which to build other skills. This class develops the basic skills necessary for a person to survive on the streets (How to properly kick and punch. Also how to defend kicks, punches and common grabs.).
Area Two - In the second phase of training, standing grappling and ground control / attacks are learned. Once students have learned how to control a fight in striking range, it becomes necessary for them to become skilled at what to do if the situation progresses to a closer distance. The students are also introduced to sparring. Students are encouraged to try to bridge the distance from kicking / punching and enter into standing grappling or go all the way to the ground. When they leave this phase, they will understand how and when to close the distance, takedown, and submit their opponent while on the ground.
Area Three - The final area of training concentrates on trapping range (the brief section that occurs between kicking and punching range and standing grappling). This is perhaps the most difficult phase to learn. Timing and coordination are finely tuned in this section. Sparring helps in this process and makes the student incorporate all four areas.
By the time a student is ready to graduate from this system, they will be prepared for any attack and situation. They will know what to do and by having this knowledge they will have the upper hand against any opponent.
Target age: 13+.
Please note that age in the Adult Programs is just a guideline. Students may be allowed to enroll in a class regardless of age at the Sensei's discretion.
