ANSWERS TO YOUR SELF-DEFENCE QUESTIONS

Martial arts focus on answering questions about yourself and the world around you.  Naturally some questions will come to mind regarding our training.


Can you really train someone to defend themselves quickly?

Yes.  Most of our classes avoid "traditional" martial arts training methods and instead focus solely on effective, "reality-based" tactics and self-defense strategies.  We do this in a "here's exactly what you need to do" way, which allows you to come away with effective self-defense instruction, without the commitment that the "arts" usually entail.


Which of the martial arts do you base your training methods on?

Jeet Kune Do, which was developed by none other than Bruce Lee, Filipino Kali, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Muay Thai.


What is Contemporary Jeet Kune Do?

Jeet Kune Do is a martial art that can simply be defined as "free".  It's not Karate, Boxing, Tae Kwon Do, or Muay Thai; rather it is a perfect blend of all martial arts.  Jeet Kune Do focuses on the bare essentials, teaching you what you truly need to know in order to apply martial arts to your life.  It's very effective and adapting.

Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do practioners stick to the techniques promoted by Si Qung Bruce Lee. 

In Contemporary Jeet Kune Do, we acknowledge and practice Si Qung Bruce Lee's principle of taking what is useful, discarding what is not, and adding to it what is your own.  We acknowledge he's teachings that circumstances are always changing, so our methods should change with it.  As a result we are not stuck in the past and have developed our teaching to deal with the increased speed and strength of modern opponents.  We take into account and train for altercations in kicking range, punching range, trapping range, ground fighting, and weapons. 


What is Filthy MMA?

Jeet Kune Do is regarded as the first Mixed Martial Art as it combined fighting in kicking, punching, and trapping range instead of just one range.  Progressive Fighting Systems was the first to add ground fighting to the program.  Today Mixed Martial Artists are considered to be the best fighters in the world.  Like all sports, MMA has rules that hinder it in real live self-defense situations.  Filthy MMA is MMA without the rules.  We become the best fighters that we can became at the four ranges, but realizing that there will always be someone better than us, we cheat.  We use the bodies most potent weapons against our attackers most vernable areas.


What sets you apart from everyone else?

What separates us from everyone else is our training methods.  We don't just teach you the best most effective techniques, we show you how they work in real life situations.  We don't leave you wondering if what you learned will work, our scenario training proves to you that it works.  Our training is designed to let you feel what it is like to be in a real life fight.  You experience the multitude of split second changes that can occur in a real fight.


I've already trained in martial arts.  What can you teach me?

If you have already trained in martial arts, there is still more you can learn.  One of the great things about martial arts is that there is always more to teach - new techniques, concepts, and philosophies designed to enhance your abilities and knowledge.
