Self Defense class Woodstock Georgia

This week in our Jeet Kune Do class here at the Atlanta martial arts Center we are focusing on the trapping range. If you are familiar with the range you would have to be in in order to punch someone this is generally called boxing range. If you stepped in a little closer to the opponent this is what we call trapping range in Jeet Kune Do. Trapping is when you try to immobilize your opponents hands and arms in order to keep them from grabbing or hitting you while you are attacking them. This is important because in a self-defense situation it is good to put yourself in a safe situation before you try to attack. Trapping can also be used to catch joint locks or to move into pummeling range where you could throw the opponent or do a takedown to put them on the ground. The trapping in Jeet Kune Do is based on the art of wing Chun. Bruce Lee studied wing Chun at a young age and it was this influence that brought it into the art of Jeet Kune Do. Jeet Kune Do was designed by Bruce Lee to be used on the street. Since it was made for this purpose it does not follow the rules of most sport-based systems, this is important because if you are seeking to be trained in self-defense is an important thing to know about the art you are studying or the instructor you are studying under. Both self-defense based systems and sport-based systems have tremendous benefits but depending on what your goal is in the martial arts it will be an important question to ask as you are looking for a martial arts school that will fit your goals.
