What is JKD?
JKD (Jin Kuen Do) is based on the concepts and theories, techniques and drills of the most advanced hand to hand combat systems ever devised. Systems like Wing Chun Kuen, which also formed the overwhelming majority of techniques found in Bruce Lees "Jeet Kune Do", Keysi, Systema and features heavily in our JKD system. As do Chin Na (Joint Manipulation), Western boxing, Ka-Li or Escrima (Stick and Dagger) and Tai Chi Chuan (Supreme Ultimate Force). We do some Pad Work in our sessions as well as the Hands on Drills and light sparring.
Where we differ to other schools of Martial Art and self defence is in our approach to the drills, our understanding of Body Structure and mechanics, ranges of Combat, Inch force and joint manipulation and how all these areas come together. Due to its heavy reliance on the trapping skills of the Wing Chun system, if you don't spend a significant time learning the specific forms of the Wing Chun system, you cannot truly impart its concepts to a student. Wing Chun is what made Bruce Lees system Jeet Kune Do, work.
Jin Kuen Do is easy to learn, and hard to forget. The sessions will prepare you, for any violent encounter that you may, despite your best attempts, be unable to avoid.
