How a class works
Each Class session is divided into three sections:
Weapons, Unarmed, and Kickboxing
Kali and Kobudo
There is also drilling from Krabi Krabong with sticks and staff
For this section students need to acquire and bring their own weapons
A pair of sticks and a knife.
A pair of tonfa.
A set of nunchaku, both foam safety and wood/chain.
Bokken, hanbo, jo and bo
Unarmed Combat – Self Protection – Threat Response – Street Fighting
This is a set of drills students practice with each other.
There is no punching and kicking the air, though we do incorporate shadow boxing.
There is no hard oriental “discipline”, we train in a relaxed and friendly manner.
There is no half hour “warm up”, just some basic stretching.
This is not an aerobics class or a yoga class, it is a Martial Arts skills class.
You spend your time building skills.
If you want to get fit go to aerobics.
If you want to get muscles go to the gym.
If you want to get flexible go to yoga.
If you want to learn to fight – come to see us.
This is real time one-on-one CQC drilling, taken from our core arts of
Karate, Kempo, Jujutsu, Taijutsu, Kali and Wing Chun
This section includes Energy Drills, Trapping and chi sao sparring
At some sessions we put the mats down and practice
Ground Fighting and Ground Grappling
Kickboxing
For Kickboxing you need your own protective gear for partner drills and sparring.
Everything we teach is brought out in kickboxing sparring sessions
Drills and techniques are taken from Karate, Boxing, Savate, and Muay Thai
There is Kickboxing, boxing and karate style sparring
There is impact work on focus pads, Thai pads, and shields.
