Perth Martial Arts Academy Launches Kid’s Martial Arts Perth Curriculum in Jeet Kune Do

(Newswire.net — June 03, 2013) Perth, WA — Kid’s Martial Arts classes in Jeet Kune Do are being launched for the first time ever by Perth Martial Arts Academy, Combat Defence Systems. These classes are designed to build courage, confidence, self-esteem, strength, discipline, commitment, control, passion and drive in children by empowering them with essential life skills. Physical attributes such as fitness, flexibility, agility, co-ordination and core strength will all be developed while learning this dynamic self defence based martial art. This kids martial arts program is designed to develop both body and mind.

About Junior Jeet Kune Do (JKD)

The Junior JKD curriculum is self defence focused and is a modified version of our adults JKD curriculum. Students learn how to deal with a wide range of situations including aggressive behaviour, bullying and random assault. Punching, kicking, trapping, grappling and joint locking are taught along with how and when to use these skills and the appropriate level of force to use, given the situation.

Also taught is defence against blunt weapons such as sticks, bats etc. However as you would appreciate, we do omit teaching defence against bladed or edged weapons to children. Students will learn to flow from one range to another with direct and efficient movement to deal with any situation they may find themselves in.
