Adult Programs
Chí's Martial Arts Adult Program is one to be admired.
We understand that there are many adults that want to study Martial
Arts for many different reasons. We understand that there are
different skill and physical fitness levels. We have an approach
that will help the people who haven't exercised as well as those who
are very active. We know there are people that need balance,
co-ordination and stamina as well as those who already possess these
attributes. Our curriculum and approach was designed to fit all
levels whether beginning or advanced.
At Chí's Martial Arts, we believe that in order to really enjoy all that life has
to offer, we need to have the balance of a strong mind, healthy
heart and possess the skills that could be necessary to defend
ourselves or our family.
Our program will help you stay in shape. You will gain flexibility
through our stretching techniques which will decrease your chances
of injury in sports and everyday life. You will build strength and
tone you body with our dynamic, isometric, and repetitive exercises.
You will gain confidence and self-e steem by improving your physical
fitness, body composition, skill level and self-defense skills.
You will enjoy the workout as well as the friendships that come
along with exercising and training with people that have similar
goals. People that train together and support one another end up
building friendships that last a lifetime. What better way to spend
you time than staying fit, developing a skill that could save you or
one of your families lives and meeting people with the same
interests and goals.

JKD allows an
individual to train in
multiple ranges from kicking
to punching to trapping to
grappling and learn how to
transition from one range to
the next. There is no set
curriculum for JKD, but
rather the individual
develops it.
Jun Fan or
Lee Jun Fan is the Chinese
name of Bruce Lee. The Jun
Fan Martial Arts are the
training methods originally
developed by Si-Gung Bruce
Lee in the 1960's during his
exploration of the
principles and theories of
JKD. It is a core
foundation that can help you
to discover the concepts of
Jeet Kune Do. The Jun Fan
Martial Arts are a blend of
modified Wing Chun Gung Fu,
Western Boxing, Fencing,
several Northern & Southern
Chinese Gung Fu styles and
various grappling
disciplines. The Jun Fan
Martial Arts can be broken
down into two main areas:
Jun Fan Kickboxing and Jun
Fan Trapping (within the
trapping/in-fighting program
will be elements of
Grappling and
Ground-fighting). Most
styles favor one or two
ranges, Jun Fan incorporates
all four ranges (Kicking,
Punching, Trapping and
Grappling). As a set
curriculum, Jun Fan may be
limited to specific
techniques and training,
while Jeet Kune Do has no
such limitation. While Jun
Fan is one tool that can be
used to train the principles
and concepts of JKD, it is
not the only one. |

HOW GOOD IS YOUR
BODY MOVEMENT?
Bruce Lee was a big fan of Muhammad
Ali. He studied his footwork and body movement extensively.
Jeet
Kune Do incorporates the movements made famous by Muhammad Ali and
later by Bruce Lee
in the martial Arts world. Now you too can learn
to move like the Champ!

Jun Fan Gung-Fu Program
Jun Fan Gung Fu was Bruce Lee’s innovative combination of
different martial ideas that occurred between 1964-1967. In 1967
Jun Fan Gung Fu became known as Jeet Kune Do; abbreviated as JKD.
Jeet Kune Do eventually became a concept known to a few top Jeet
Kune Do instructors as Jeet Kune Do Concepts, a way of training,
a way to adapt to any possible situation that could occur in a
self defense situation and a way to evolve. Not as a set pattern
in the training methods or the learning of organized techniques.
Which can only be done by researching martial arts to learn more
possible paths to take along with different lines of attack to
defend. It was meant for his students and generations to come to
understand Bruce Lee’s fighting methods with the way he would
have wanted it to progress and not stay with a certain stagnant
pattern that never grows.
Jeet Kune Do has now evolved very scientifically through only a
few of his closest students, due to all the research in martial
arts that has been done by them over the years. It is the
attribute of many different fighting systems with a basic format
consisting of intercepting your opponents strikes to
hand-trapping as you would see in Wing Chun, utilizing the
mechanics of boxing with boxing to fencing like evasive
footwork. In this day and age it is a complete self-defense
method that uses kicking, boxing, finger jabs, elbows, knees,
head butts, takedowns. And also now-a-days, Jeet Kune Do, as it
is taught at the Practical Self Defense Training Center, has a
very highly enhanced standing and ground grappling background.
-
Getting
yourself into fair physical condition is a good
foundation to being able to start to contend with a
serious self-defense situation and survive.
-
Foot work
for being evasive which leads to the development of
skills for proper response in kicking, boxing and
trapping range (Jun Fan Gung Fu or Panantukin)
-
Boxing
mechanics (Jun Fan Gung Fu or Panantukin)
-
Kicking
mechanics (Jun Fan Gung Fu, Jeet Kune Do)
-
Bobbing,
weaving, slipping, ducking (Jun Fan Gung Fu or
Panantukin)
-
Faking
and feinting (Jun Fan Gung Fu or Panantukin)
-
Kicking
mechanics from Thai boxing or Pananjakman
-
Wing Chun
concepts and theories (Jeet Kune Do)
-
Trapping
along with entering into trapping (the use and
understanding of head-butts, elbows, attacking the
eyes and knees within this range also for
self-defense purposes)
-
Intercepting methods (Jun Fan Gung Fu, Jeet Kune Do)
-
Functional use of all tools done with all the
different training equipment such as striking
apparatus and protective gear for a realistic feel
along with timing rhythm and power (Jun Fan Gung Fu,
Jeet Kune Do)
-
Use of
when and where to utilize the straight blast (jik
chun choi) and all possible follow ups (Jun Fan Gung
Fu, Jeet Kune Do)
-
Nerve and
joint destructions as it is done from Panantukin
-
Grappling
take downs to good positions, riding, submissions
and escapes with skillful sensitivity (for self
defense purposes, wrestling with and without a stick
or a blade with an armed partner is part of this
curriculum). All this is to be learned to do without
the use of strength so techniques work for anyone
(The grappling range of Jun Fan Gung Fu, Jeet Kune
Do)
-
For Kali students,
the use and defenses for weapons (stick and knife
mostly) training from long range, right to grappling
range (Kali, Arnis, Escrima)
Kali empty hands and
weapons:
Long
range, mid range, what is considered to be trapping
range and not surprisingly, clench range drills along
with the understanding of the interpretations of all
drills for a good understanding of Filipino Martial Arts
as a combat discipline. A constant progression is
accomplished and that will be noticed right away if all
these different ranges are practiced with the empty
hands aspects of Kali and needless to say, with weapons.
You learn and evolve with different types of sparring
drills in all ranges, with and without weapons to help
you to attain the skill that will get you to each
level. Below are the weapons areas to start with in all
the before mentioned ranges to understand for Kali,
Arnis, Eskrima as it is taught at the PSDTC:

Testing in Jeet Kune
Do or Kali is done while you are training in class,
being observed all the time, especially when it comes
around the time to achieve your next level. For private
students Ron occasionally brings in local students to
train and do different drilling and sparring exercises
with you. Ron looks for proper form, relaxation
(especially in tight situations), explosiveness, and
proper response with proper form together with the
proper attitude a responsible martial artist should
have.
"Education is a
progressive discovery of our own ignorance."
A note to remember for
a more complete self defense skill level
*Kali stick
and knife fighting as well as flexible weapons, in all
ranges the way it is taught at the Practical
Self-Defense Training Center, is a very good additive
for Jeet Kune Do student to have a good weapons base
understanding to add to your empty hand skill,
especially for self defense purposes. Which in turn
makes the combination of the two a more complete self
defense oriented martial science (please note that Kali
weapons as well as the empty hand portion are separate
fighting methods or "styles" taught from Jeet Kune Do
and carry two separate rank certificates with separate
curriculums. That is a very common misunderstanding
about Jeet Kune Do now a days). The Kali fighting system
taught by Ron, although he had learned ideas from
different Filipino martial arts instructors, is based
mainly on the Lecosta / Inosanto and Lameco system of
Kali, Arnis and Eskrima. Ron teaches it the way it was
taught to him by Sifu/Guro Larry Hartsell, Paul Vunak,
the late Guru Edgar Sulite, Grand Supreme Tuhon Leo Gaje
and of coarse, Magulang Na Guru Dan Inosanto.

The more you
become immersed in the martial arts at
Chi's
Martial Arts,
the more you will
find that, like a fine tea, the longer you
"steep" the stronger your confidence,
discipline and respect will become. You
will gradually feel more successful as you notice your respect
for yourself and others improve and when your self-discipline
becomes easier and more focused. You
will find that these benefits, along with your newfound
confidence, will spill over into all areas of your life.
Success has
been defined as "The progressive realization of a worthy
goal." We are
constantly developing new updates on the curriculum making it
even more effective and empowering. We
are developing more a holistic approach, streamlining the
learning process, as well as further integrating the physical,
the mental and the philosophies necessary for success.
Finally, we are
excited about "kicking" the standards up a notch;
raising not only our personal standards but also those of the
staff, the students and the Martial Arts industry to the next
level. We hope to
positively affect and empower even greater numbers of our fellow
citizens through teaching highly effective martial arts and
challenging all of us to live up to a higher moral code.
We look forward
to seeing you in class!!
