Did you know that there is a huge difference between Sport Fighting, Traditional Martial Arts and Real Self Defense?
Brazilian Jujitsu, MMA, Boxing, Muay Thai, Kick Boxing..... are all amazing fighting systems. The thing is that they are designed for sport. I don't question the fact that anyone training in these arts will gain a huge advantage over someone who has not trained. The conditioning, confidence and strength you get from this style of training is wonderful... but you must remember that these are sports. Every one of these systems have strict rules, you are conditioned to fight multiple rounds ranging from 2 minutes to 5 minutes a round and you are only dealing with one opponent who weighs pretty much the same as you and has been training in a similar style.

Traditional Martial Arts like Tai Chi, Tai Kwon Do, Kendo, Wushu..... are steeped in tradition, history and form. In these beautiful styles the focus is to respect and continue the traditions of the original arts. Many of these date back thousands of years. They are beautiful, have some great self defense but neglect the reality of today's streets.

Jing Shen Kuoshu is a Martial Science. That means that we are always evolving with the times... Yes... We do use and study techniques from both sport fighting and traditional martial arts. JSK has a "Love/Hate" relationship with both Sport Fighting and Traditional Martial Arts in relation to Self Defense.

Most of what you are taught in standard Women's Self Defense Classes is impractical and useless for todays streets. I don't mean to shock you, but it's seriously true.
