Our unique blend of
the best Mixed Martial Arts punches, strikes, kicks,
knees, elbows, locks, holds, throws, takedowns, and
submissions, are taken from: Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu,
Submission Fighting, Jun Fan Gung Fu, The Filipino
Fighting Arts and more. Our curriculum is comprised
of a wide variety of Martial Arts Systems. By
attending different sessions members may choose the
area of training they wish to focus on. These
include Martial Conditioning, Ground Fighting,
Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Western boxing, or The
Filipino Fighting Arts. No matter what your goal,
Personal Defense, Conditioning, or Fight Training,
the choice is yours. This system is based on the
principles taught within Jun Fan Gung Fu. The
martial art of Bruce Lee, Jun Fan Gung Fu was the
first Modern Mixed Martial Training System.
Throughout his life Bruce Lee combined punching,
striking, kicking, knees, elbows, throws, takedowns,
trapping, and submissions to form his “Way”. He
combined this with the philosophy of Jeet Kune Do.
The core understanding of this philosophy is best
represented in his creed "Having no limitation as
limitation", “Using no Way as Way”. As this
applies to the martial arts, these two simple
statements mean we should not limit ourselves to a
singular art or system, nor should we limit
ourselves to a specific doctrine or principle found
within the art. Lee's teachings transformed the arts
forever and brought to us MMA. |
