 Boffing: A safe way to practise full contact weapons training for kids, and, even for adults who don't want to be encumbered with expense shielding equipment that detracts from the realism of the training.  Outdoor training helps us keep a fresh perspective on our skills and training.  Training on the jetties makes for a fun way to test your stance and balance skills. It's also good for cooling off after training ;-)  Unless your hands are tied-up, we do not normally recommend high-flying kicks in real life. They are however, always good for developing speed, power and balance, and, for practising defense against them. It is also essential to know and constantly strive to extend your limits. We never know when it might come in useful.  Falling about is OK, but never down and out. We need to learn how to fall for both training and self-defence (preservation) purposes, though it is better to stay on your feet if you can. As the saying goes, the true measure of a human, is not whether they fall or not, but how they fall and how many times they get back up again. So Try, Cry, Try & Cry again!  Jump, duck, dive, avoid, evade, dodge, bob & weave - whatever works goes, but, always train for best-use and most appropriate response. Efficiency is a force multiplier for effectiveness. SImple does not always mean effective, merely simplistic and therefore a false economy.  So-called combat oriented systems, like most people, practise their 101 favourite (basic) combat techniques. Most teachers teach a style. Fewer still teach 'Martial Arts'. Lii-Kan Jitsu aspires to teach self-defense, personal security and risk management in its fullest sense in tune with reality.      Training with kids can be great fun and a challenge. For kids, it also helps them concentrate and aspire to something bigger, if not necessarily greater. |  In standard training, plastic bottles are used for safety, but the sticks are real. Training necessarily incorporates some risk in order to reflect true combat conditions and condition ourselves for it. For continuous training purposes, this is of course mitigated by the skill and control expected from our students.  Training down by the lakeside provides added incentive for participating in our Acqua-Training programme, or at least learning to swim!   The legendary unbendable arm skill is the base of spring hand strikes and power of arm (not the muscle) through correct structure and breathing techniques. It also boosts confidence and looks really cool in demos.   Taking a Leap of Faith is all part of the training and our Risk Analysis and Fear Management conditioning. Success breeds success, so increase the gap in small but, increasing increments. Mind the Gap!  The key safe, realistic and effective training is... Collaborative Learning and Friendly Competition. The state of mind it embraces also helps with fear and situation management.      What options do you have?  Once upon a time... Now he has to use a wig! So, just do it, join us, whilst you still got all your own hair ;-) |
