Classes are broken down into two main categories:
Empty-hand and Weapons

Empty-hand - Students learn both the defensive and offensive aspects of empty-hand self-defense. The four ranges of fighting (kicking, punching, trapping, and grappling) are explored and proficiency is gained at all ranges. The empty-hand curriculum is derived from Jun Fan Gung Fu, Western Boxing, Silat (the empty-hand part of Filipino/Indonesian martial arts), Ninjutsu, Sombo, Combat Submission Wrestling, Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu.

 

Weapons - The weapons curriculum comes primarily from the Filipino martial arts of Kali, Escrima and Arnis. Weapons training greatly enhances the students speed, timing and hand-eye coordination. In addition, this element of the curriculum sensitizes the student to the need for defensive skills against impact and edged weapons.
