|
UK SELF DEFENCE is a group of Martial Arts Schools that practice and train for Self Protection. STRINGER RYU JU-KA-DO UK was built on the original concept of Bruce Tegner - an American Martial Arts pioneer who developed a Martial Art / Self Defence System with the intent of demystifying the Martial Arts and in his own words 'to differentiate between those Martial Arts that are practiced for Self Perfection and those that are practiced for Self Protection."

We welcome and encourage both students and instructors from other styles to come and train with us in order to supplement their existing systems with a self defence element that is tried and tested. Gary also encourages his students to attend seminars and to look at other systems if they want to broaden their knowledge. The beauty of training in a system like Stringer Ju Ka Do, that is fluid means that should a technique be picked up from another style, system or seminar that is more effective or could be used in conjunction with existing techniques it can be incorporated within the existing syllabus. This benefits the club as a whole. Our style dosent involve any kata or line work just techniques and pad work. Kata afterall is only really there so that students can train by themselves. Many students spend a lot of time going through kata to get pass a grading - we see the time better spent practicing the actual techniques from different sized attackers from any multitude of angles front side rear etc. This is no discrespect to any other martial art - this is just our way of training. |
