I Hope This is Not Your Idea of Self Defense

This video is great.  In this video clip Jim Carey demonstrates the typical problem of most self defense instruction:  the attacker must attack you exactly this way, otherwise the technique will not work.  Any slight deviation by the attacker, and you’re done.  Self defense should intially start off with a good base in basic technique, than the student should learn Goal Oriented training.  If you want to know what Goal Oriented training is ask Linda or Joey de Los Reyes.  Better yet if you are a female and you have a concern about personal protection, check out the RAVEN Self Defense course being held by Linda on Feb 22, 2009-Jd

Judo at the Kombat Arts!

We are happy to announce that we will be introducing a trial class of Judo at the Kombat Arts starting Wednesday, April 16.  This class will be held every Wednesday evening at 8.00 PM and will be taught by Brad Varsava.  Brad began Judo in 1987 and has also trained in other martial arts including Thai boxing under Kru Roberto Herrera and Kru Joey de Los Reyes and has also studied the following martial arts: Sumo, Gatka, Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido, Shuriken jitsu and Combat knife throwing.  This class is open to both beginners and advanced students.  Judo is a great martial art to get in shape and it also has some really cool “real world” applications.  We look forward to seeing you guys on the mat!  Jd

Gymboss-Your Personal Timer

Kombat Arts is pleased to announce that we now have a large quantity of Gymboss timers in stock.  Visit our proshop to find out more or talk to Sifu Joey or Coach Linda who have been using the product for at least a year or so… 

These timers are awesome for intensifying your workouts or simply just allowing you the ability to set training intervals for yourself without having to struggle with a stopwatch, keep your eye on the wall clock, or trying to coordinate your drills with one of the boxing timers going off in the gym. – LD
