Streetwise

The main focus in these lessons are survival skills that are practical to a real life street situation, reacting to different situations and dealing with them. Often these classes are more technical.

Training consists of Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do - Incorporating Jun Fan Gung Fu - The Filipino Martial Arts of Kali (empty hand) Panantucan Eskrima and Panajakaman Eskrima, Pentjak Silat (an Indonesian martial art)  - General Weapon awareness, Blending your progressive Kickboxing techniques, Counter attacks, Reaction  training, Take downs, Groundwork, Locks, Various Drills including Energy and Sensitivity Drills. How to utilize everyday objects in a defence situation.

Streetwise classes typically consist of:

  • Warm up exercises
  • Stretching
  • Shadow Boxing
  • Footwork
  • Ground work
  • Take downs
  • Filipino Energy drills
  • Filipino Sensitivity drills
  • Street Scenarios and Street Safety
  • Group Exercises
  • Reaction training
  • Speed training
  • Class Discussions
  • JKD Philosophy

Many of the techniques and skills in the Streetwise class are learnt, practised and developed with a partner and includes focus pads for the sharp precision techniques. We also use protective clothing during this training ranging from finger less gloves and elbow pads/forearm guards to full combat protective clothing including headgear. We find that when students reach an acceptable level of basic skill and conditioning they can adopt various protective clothing to wear some more of the shots to keep things a little edgy and in more of a sparring manor, which is greatly favoured amongst our students as you can train a bit more realistically than simply striking pads.

The Streetwise classes are blended with the Progressive Kickboxing classes.

All classes are suitable for complete beginners, intermediate and advanced students.
