MAHALO FOR YOUR INTEREST IN OUR ACADEMY. WE ARE EXCITED TO HELP YOU START YOUR NEW JOURNEY IN MARTIAL ARTS. WE ARE IN AN INTERESTING TIME IN M.A. MMA, MIXED MARTIAL ARTS AND OTHER COMBAT SPORTS HAVE ANSWERED A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND MYTHS TO WHAT REALLY WORKS IN MARTIAL ARTS COMBAT IN BOTH STREET AND RING. AFTER OVER 20 YEARS OF MMA DOMINATING THE MARTIAL ARTS WORLD BECAUSE OF ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN REALTY SITUATIONS, WHAT HAS LEFT IS THE TRADITIONAL CONCEPTS OF MARTIAL ARTS. FROM BOWING, TO HISTORY , TO CULTURAL PROTOCOLS, ITS JUST BEEN ABOUT ...FIGHTING. AND THE WORLD HAS BEEN WANTING THE RETURN OF "TRADITION", BUT STILL USING WHAT REALLY WORKS.
HAWAIIAN COMBAT JUJITSU IS A SYSTEM OR STYLE CREATED BY PROFESSOR JAZ THAT INCORPORATES THE MOST EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUES ( IN HIS USE & RESEARCH) FROM EACH OF THE SYSTEMS THAT HE'S STUDIED OVER THE PAST 38 YEARS. NOT A LARGE AMOUNT OF TECHNIQUES, SIMPLE, LETHAL COMBINATIONS PRACTICED WITH BOTH HARD & SOFT APPLICATION WITH CONSTANT REPETITION USING VARIED ANGLES AND OPTIONS TO PERFECT EACH TECHNIQUES EFFICIENCY. THE CONCEPT IS ALSO TO TEACH IN THE OLD TRADITIONAL WAYS, BUT WITH MODERN TECHNIQUES TO DEFEND AGAINST AN OPPONENT THAT IS HIGHLY SKILLED IN MARTIAL ARTS RATHER THAN AN AVERAGE JOE WITH NO MARTIAL ARTS EXPERIENCE. SOME SAY "PREPARE FOR THE WORSE", AT OUR ACADEMY WE SAY, "PREPARE FOR THE BEST" . ASSUME YOUR ASSAILANT CAN AND WILL HURT OR KILL YOU. WE WILL GIVE YOU THE SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE OF AN MMA FIGHTER, WITHOUT HAVING TO BE ONE. HOWEVER, YOU WILL ALSO LEARN TO ALMOST NEVER HAVE TO USE IT! WE DON'T COMPETE, BUT WE HAVE SISTER ACADEMIES THAT DO WHO CAN HELP YOU. GRAPPLING IS PRACTICED WITH STRIKES TO ASSIMILATE STREET COMBAT.
BECAUSE OF OUR CONNECTION TO HULA & LUA, AND BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF THE DOJO / GYM, WE TRAIN USING PRACTICES OF THE HOST CULTURE WHICH IS HAWAIIAN. SO ALTHOUGH THE ROOTS OF THE TECHNIQUES COME FROM SUCH PLACES AS JAPAN, CHINA & INDIA, OUR PROTOCOLS, SOME NAMES FOR TECHNIQUES & THE WAY WE LIVE AS WARRIORS ARE HAWAIIAN.
