(JKD) Bruce Lee's MA is about dynamic and explosive footwork that can be applied to enhance your stand up game regardless of your background. JKD at it's highest level is about delivery and avoidance with empha
sis "in delivery" on full body weight, mass accelerated movement and recovery! While most people know JKD as a blend of many styles, in reality it is Bruce's application of geometry, physics and kinesiology in the realm of effective Stand Up Fighting. (SKD) is a Modern Filipino method with a strong Traditional Root that includes influences from Western Fencing, JKD & Boxing. Sungkite is a term that may be defined as "hooking" but more accurately defines the close relationship of thrusting and slashing and how they work together. The term Kali may be interpreted many ways. In SKD it more accurately defines the ability to "flow like a river". Diretcho is a term that means "direct" and refers to the emphasis on directness and efficiency in technique, in order to end the fight quickly. SKD is an art that includes both drilling and freestyle sparring with padded weapons and safety gear. SKD also includes CQD/Mano-Mano techniques designed for defense against weapons and close quarter defense. G**o Stewart considers SKD to be directly inspired from G**o Ted Lucaylucay's Kali, with emphasis on "Obtik". Obtik is defined as the use of stepping, pivoting and sinking or raising to power and time the stroke. (Hybrid Kickboxing) for MMA/Street: Hybrid Kickboxing is the Dynamic Blend of JKD , Panantukan (Philippine Boxing), Muay Thai and Savate (French Kickboxing)... These major styles of stand up fighting will be presented both isolated and integrated to enhance your Stand Up game. (DEFTAC) Proactive Self Defense; There are three components of physical self defense: techniques, training methods, and strategies. Techniques consist of movement, blocks and counters. The basis of these are running before fighting, and if avoiding is impossible, block what can hit you, and then strike at vital areas of the body. Training methods are the drills self defense students practice to learn to implement techniques. And, strategy refers to the plan for how and when to use techniques. Without all three components, physical self defense is likely to fail. DEFTAC is simplified/modern self defense as taught to Civilian, Law Enforcement and Military.
