integrated martial arts classes
Integrated Martial Arts Movement is based on Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do Concepts, which individualizes flowing and efficient movement, and discards extraneous movement from rigid classical martial arts forms.
C l a s s D e s c r i p t i o n
based on Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do Concepts- “Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is specifically your own”. Borrowing from various martial arts disciplines, students will learn to seamlessly adapt and integrate movements into their own. The class will explore efficient martial arts technique alone and with a partner to develop accuracy and proper dynamics, in a safe and non-threatening manner. Different empty hand and weapons based systems- from boxing, savate, muay thai kickboxing, wing chun, and kali / silat are explored, incorporated, and modified- into an ever evolving personal style.
