JKD Weapons Basics (3 week course)

JKD (Jeet Kune Do) is the fighting system initially developed by martial arts legend Bruce Lee. Modern JKD is a fast-paced and dynamic hybrid style that applies accessible striking, grappling, and weapons techniques to real-world situations.

JKD weapons training combines Kali/Eskrima with elements of western fencing.

Who is this course for?
Anyone who is new to martial arts, and would like to learn the fundamentals of knife fighting.

This is a great first class for curious newcomers with minimal self defense training.

Of course, more seasoned martial artists looking to try something new are also more than welcome.

So...why knives?

IT'S USEFUL

It helps develop superior attributes that you can apply to almost any other style. It helps develop excellent reflexes, coordinated movement, superb timing, and adaptability.

IT'S PRACTICAL

The techniques and tactics that you will learn in this course are the same that were taught to Navy Seal Team 6.

IT'S SAFE.

Our foam-padded training knives allow reasonable contact with minimal risk of injury. The techniques are simple, low impact, and provide a great workout for people of all ages or training levels.

IT'S FUN!

Come and meet (i.e., stab) new friends.

What to expect:
This course will be equal parts technical drilling and application through friendly sparring over the course of three seminars:

CLASS 1 (3/01) - Basic footwork, angles of attack, and defense. This class will provide the technical foundation for the two subsequent classes.

CLASS 2 (3/08) - Interceptions and combinations. Through tactical drills and situational sparring, you'll move beyond mere technique, and start to learn how to think about fighting.

CLASS 3 (3/15) - The fun stuff. You'll explore what it's like to spar under different conditions, with different attackers, and end the course with a friendly competition.

What to bring to class:
Please wear athletic clothing. Street shoes are not permitted on the studio floor, so be prepared to train barefoot.

A positive attitude. Be a good sport, help each other, and come ready to forgive yourself and learn something new!

Training knives provided.
