Classes are held every Wednesday and Saturday at Eric Liddell Sports Centre in Mottingham and every Thursday and Sunday at The Dojo in Sidcup.
Class Locations: A = The Dojo, Sidcup | B = Eric Liddell Sports Centre |
Jeet Kune Do (Wednesdays 8pm – 9.30pm, Eric Liddel Sports Centre, Mottingham)
Jeet Kune Do is a philosophy conceived by Bruce Lee. JKD uses whatever tools it can to achieve its end and so blends techniques from a great variety of martial arts.
It takes into account that everyone is a different shape, size and weight and so encourages the use of the most effective tools for each individual, whether that is Wing Chun, Muay Thai, Grappling or Boxing. The only person certified to teach JKD is Dan Inosanto and so we derive our legacy from him.
Kali (Thursdays 8.30pm – 10pm, The Dojo, Sidcup)
Kali is a Filipino martial art which uses a variety of weapons as well as empty-hand techniques in order to strike, hold, throw and lock.
These weapons include single stick, double stick, and single and double knives which make an effective and modern fighting system despite its ancient roots. With knife crime on the rise, practical and safe knife defence is more important than ever before.
We teach the Inosanto/Lacoste blend system of Kali.
Silat (Saturdays 10am – 11.30am, Eric Liddel Sports Centre, Mottingham)
& (Sundays 6pm – 7.30pm, The Dojo, Sidcup)
Silat is an Indonesian martial art which while having its roots in weapon-based training also makes for an effective close-quarters fighting system.
We teach the Mande Muda system, the head of which is Ibu Rita Suwanda. Guro Paul Finn is one of only two instructors qualified to teach Mande Muda in Europe and the only one in the UK.
We also teach the Maphilindo system of Silat under Guro Dan Inosanto.
