Rolling/Falling

Rolling and falling are fundamental skills and are a part of every class. This includes forward shoulder rolls (off both sides) and break falls (front, back, and sides).

Stances/Footwork

We teach mostly boxing stances and some traditional martial arts stances.

Hand Strikes

The uppercut and hook are effective close-range boxing punches and are an important part of Sekkinsen Goshin-Jitsu as well as the jab and cross. Elbow strikes are practiced going across to the face, up under the chin, and down on the chest.

Kicks

There is a preference in Sekkinsen Goshin-Jitsu for simple low-to-mid-level kicks. The most common are the front kick, roundhouse, side kick, and Muay Thai-style leg kicks. Knee-strikes are used in close-range techniques.

The Jujitsu of Sekkinsen Goshin-Jitsu

Techniques used as a part of Sekkinsen Goshin-Jitsu include joint locks, such as wrist locks, elbow locks, and choke holds. Sweeps, reaps, or trips and throws are also a part of the training regimen. With the fundamentals of the grappling (e.g., guard position, side control, mount position, and back), Sekkinsen Goshin-Jitsu is well suited for the street.

Weapons Defense

Sekkinsen Goshin-Jitsu emphasizes modern-weapons defense, such as guns, knives, bats, and chains. We will also review traditional weapons (sword, nunchucka, and bo). We do have a few simple kata that will help students learn how to control traditional weapons
