bullet Sparring Classes (All Ages)
bulletSparring is an important part of any martial art.  Sparring (simulated combat) is an vital part of all of our martial art programs.  It is a chance for the student to practice & demonstrate distance, timing, control, focus, speed & power while working with a partner.  Safety is stressed at all times.  Our approved protective gear is a requirement.  Please see instructor for approved gear.  We practice many different types of sparring such as;  1/4 speed, 1/2 speed, 3/4 speed & full speed sparring.   No contact sparring for beginners and  light to medium contact for advanced students.   We mix it up too and change the rules of engagement.  We may limit it to just using one technique, sparring two or three people at the same time, kicking vs only punching, etc.  Sweeps, grabs & takedowns are also allowed as students progress.  We do not follow what 80% of other schools follow because this limits the students ability to adapt when actually confronted with a serious situation.  Sparring & sparring rules are based on the age of the student, their level of ability, self control & emotional balance.  Anger & Egos will be quickly dealt with and have no place in the training hall or anywhere else in life.  We do stand up, ground & weapons sparring in both our Taekwondo & our Filipino martial art classes.  The sparring classes are blended into all of our martial art programs.
bullet Ultimate Self Defense & Awareness (All Ages)
bulletA lot of students start martial arts training with the goal of being able to defend themselves or handle themselves correctly under a threatening & dangerous street encounter.  Every one of our martial art classes has this focus in mind.  We focus more on reality based self defense in our class and less on the fancy & flashy techniques that are often forgotten under the pressure of a real street attack.  In both our Taekwondo & Filipino Martial Arts class we cover defenses against: grabs, choking, punching, ground defense, kicking, distancing & weapon attacks.  We also cover the psychological make up of the attack and how to overcome fear and survive whatever threat may come your way.  If your group, school or business would like us to put on a self defense seminar or class, please contact us at 206-859-8363 or contact us via email.
bulletNunchaku Class (All Ages)
bulletProbably the most popular traditional Kung Fu & Karate weapon of all time!    The nunchaku was popularized by the the late Bruce Lee in his movies  Enter the Dragon & Game of Death.  Come and learn some of the fancy flipping, twirling & striking techniques in this fun class.  Master Jay is considered an expert in the free form traditional Japanese nunchaku, having won numerous awards for his performance and technical excellence in martial art exhibitions & tournaments.  This traditional weapon is taught in our Junior Dragons & Teen/Adult Taekwondo & our Filipino Martial Arts class.  You may bring your own nunchakau or purchase one from the instructor.
