“If someone grabs you, hit them”     Bruce Lee  1940 – 1973 Atemiwaza: Striking Techniques    Ashiwaza: Kicking Techniques    Tachiwaza: Throwing Techniques    Newaza: Grappling Techniques    Tai-Sabaki: Evasion Techniques
Training is broken down into modules to aid in mastering the various techniques.   Training is conducted so that every student learns how to use the techniques not just perform the movements.   Our philosophy is: “You are the weapon, they are the target”   A punch is not just a punch; a kick is not just a kick. The whole body works together to deliver every strike or kick so that you utilize your body weight to devastate your opponent.   Our training is focused at giving the student the skills to defend themselves against assailants whether unarmed or armed with weapons (knives, baseball bats & sticks).      Learn the Technique    Understand the Technique    Forget the Technique
