The Details:

Kickboxing is pretty straightforward.  It is a form of boxing that incorporates kicking.  It is devoid of forms, ranking systems, pattern memorization and mimicry.  It is as much a form of exercise as it is a martial art or self-defense system.

JKD is short of Jeet Kune Do, which directly translates to Straight Fist Way, but what Bruce Lee meant when he coined it was, Way of the Intercepting Fist.

Jeet Kuen Do is not a Martial Art or Style.  It is a general martial concept.  That said, JKD grew out of Bruce Lee’s Lee Jun Fan Gung Fu, which translates as Bruce Lee’s Mastery or Bruce Lee’s Skills.  Those skills incorporate a lot of Wing Chun, some Boxing, some Grappling, and a smattering of other martial arts.  While Lee Jun Fan Gung Fu and JKD are somewhat structurally free, they do have some systematic considerations.  There are 3 forms associated with JKD, along with grappling, working on the ground, and weapons.  As such, JKD is generally considered a Martial Art though Bruce Lee intended for it to be purely conceptual.  He wished to leave behind forms, mimicry, and pattern memorization.

Perhaps you can see where we are going.  Both JKD and Kickboxing have very basic self-defense considerations.  Both are good forms of exercise and conditioning.  Neither has the form work, structural considerations, and rank systems of the martial arts we normally think of.  That is, they are structurally loose, while being extremely active.

Our Kickboxing classes will be framed around JKD.   The classes will not focus on a lot of ground or weapons work – though we will not completely discount them.  We will not concern ourselves with JKD’s forms, or with rank.  The primary focus is an invigorating, exciting, and informative Kickboxing workout with a JKD flavor.
