As far as traditional martial arts go, I teach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), a blend of the Filipino Martial Arts (FMA), and Classic Western Sport Boxing. I teach these styles in their pure artistic form as they were taught to me.
However, I also teach Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do Concepts (JKD) which is not so much a style but a process of training methods put together to help guide your training from a more global and systematic self defense perspective. Using Bruce’s guidelines we blend techniques from many styles into a system that is custom designed for each individual to utilize in self defense and combat. As Bruce would say, “keep what is useful and reject what is useless”.
Therefore, self-defense is taught with a JKD framework using techniques from Boxing, Wrestling, FMA, BJJ, Savate, Muay Thai, Sambo, other kickboxing arts, Wing Chun, Kali, Karate, and Kung Fu. As these techniques are taught, the student learns to combine them at different ranges to effectively create their own specific style of combat.
