Self-Defense classes

The Gen Lee Ju-Jitsu Club’s approach to self
defense is combining the arts of Karate, Judo, Aikido, and Savate. The purpose of which is to afford the person a greater range of technique to work with in a self defense situation.

Contained within the basics are principles which are the
actual lessons of the techniques. The introduction of basic techniques follow
an order where subsequent principles build onto previous ones. Which develop into a method of self defense built on concepts, not just a series of
techniques.

The focus is for the student to internalize concepts such as breaking of balance, disruption, striking, throwing and pinning.


Once a student learns these basics, they are able to develop their own
variations using combinations or unique applications of basic principles for a

potentially infinite number of circumstances.



This process allows the student to create techniques and applications suited to

one's own needs and circumstances, rather than blindly memorizing the

techniques taught by instructors. The understanding of the art is internalized,

which leaves the student better armed to defend themselves. With Gen Lee Ju-Jitsu
one achieves the ability to create and adapt rather than merely imitate. This
ability is encouraged since the circumstance that one may have to use the art
is potentially a life threatening one.

Classes are on Friday nights from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM in the Church meeting room.

Donation is $20 per class.

Visitors are always welcome to observe a class.
