JKD is the martial art that was created by Bruce Lee. It is a blended system of boxing, kickboxing, Wing Chun, Ju-Jitsu, and several other arts. It's concepts and principles draw from many different systems and styles.
My intention is to teach that which will enhance the students and practitioners of Uechi-ryu. Much of what we do in JKD blends well with our Uechi style. I will cover some rudimentary flow drills (from Wing Chun Gung Fu) and Trapping Techniques which will include countering your opponent's block.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Joe Pomfret will be a SummerFest Presenter again this year! Although there may be one or two of the 3/4 million people who visit this site every month who don't know Shihan Pomfret or his superstar student, Joe Lauzon, I suspect the vast majority of you will recognize his name and incredible fighting skills.
What many of you may not appreciate, though, is that Joe is one of the world's most talented as well as "gifted" martial art instructor, capable of clearly and simply transmitting his knowledge to students.
Even though Joe is a superb "ground" fighter, he has never abandoned his "stand-up" core-uechi-ryu fighting background. Joe and his students win many of their MMA matches with their powerhouse "standup" techniques.
Looking for a way to prepare for Joe's seminars? Why not order Joe's two DVD and begin practicing the fundamentals of ground fighting, taught by best.
Most important - Get those SummerFest applications in early! Oh yes. . . Joe Lauzon is scheduled to be with us as well! ( He has been a regular at SummerFest for years! - Lauzon was the featured UFC fight on Thursday, June 14th on SPIKE Cable )
Joe has two really great DVDs for sale on this site. The first one, VidMag 24: Joe Pomfret's Grappling for 'Stand-up' Martial Artists is a "must have" video for the traditional "stand-up" martial artist. Learn the basics of GroundFighting, including the "Shoot", "Hooks" and other very workable techniques. Learn how to get your opponent to the ground, how to keep him there and how to apply submission holds. Demonstratred and taught in an easily understood manner.
Pomfret's RSD II
Joe Pomfret, assisted by Joe Lauzon, has come up with a dynamite follow-up to his fantastic basic grappling video. This DVD focuses on a new type of grappling pre-arranged kumite that Joe suggests will aid the traditional martial artist improve their ground fighting skill. Another "must have" for your library and one that you will use over and over in your training

Dynamic Kid's Classes
Junior Program
Administrator
Darin Yee is in charge of the children's program. He has the amazing talent
for keeping his charges busy all day long,
alternating physical outdoor classes with indoor
role playing, games and innovative programs. Darin will be assisted by his team of instructors.
Topics to be covered will include:
· Self-defense techniques specifically designed
for kids. These defense maneuvers are easily
learned, remembered, extremely effective and
practical;
· The class will instill confidence;
· Children will learn personal safety for and in
all types of real life situations;
· Techniques on how to achieve and maintain
emotional control when faced with violent
situations either physical or verbal;
· Where personal boundaries are when faced with
adults in social situations;
· How to recognize dangerous situations and to
say no with confidence;
· Each seminar will discuss one safety topic in
addition to practical skills. Children will then
demonstrate several of the techniques that they
will have learned during the demonstration
period held in the evenings.
