The Arts We Teach
What is the martial arts ?
Martial arts are a mystery to many people and I personally enjoy a good mystery. Let me briefly explain the martial arts in general so you may have a better idea of the differences. There are numerous systems and styles, different origins based on which country an art came from or were influenced by. Some are traditional some are non traditional. Recently you have heard the terms "reality based" or "mixed martial arts". Reality being for the street and Mixed for the ring & sport.
We use the term "Integrated Martial Arts", in which you learn street effective arts that can be adapted for pure street use( our preferred method of teaching) or modified for sport.
To find what fits best for your own desire, you need to ask yourself if you are looking for something that is just for sport, tournaments ,meditative, only exercise, or a realistic approach to our modern streets. Perhaps you prefer a traditional unchanged art with old ways of thinking that may not sit well in a more aggressive world but will satisfy your needs or curiosity along that path. Form training is big in the traditional and sport world, Cardio kickboxing is a good cardio workout but I wouldn't use it for self defense. All are fine and all have their own train of thought and purpose.
As a martial artist who has studied all of these, Sifu Fuson personally prefers a more modern approach. After all, in todays society isn't it wise to stay in shape studying something that will also help you defend yourself should you find yourself in harms way ? Of course it is.
The arts we teach are all progressive methods. We continue to instill the values of the martial arts all while teaching one to reach their goals and maintain a fitness level at their own pace, while increasing your comfort zone and building your confidence.
We do not believe in just teaching a class with a strict set of standards where you either keep up or drop out. By the same token, we do not "sell" black belts. All students participate and grow in their skills and are awarded for their progression with rank earned not rank handed out for showing up or paying a fee.
Our instructor has a rich and proud Martial Arts background and has also seen and been exposed to many instructors and associations. We keep everybody affiliated with our association happy with as little politics as possible. Unlike some associations out there that insist you pay them yearly for the rest of your life or they take your rank away,( beware of those) We are honest and fair, (providing you do not break laws and obey the bylaws), we award your rank for life. Students from all styles and systems, and those with no experience are welcome if they are honest and have a desire to learn and respect those from other arts.
Our purpose is to help you achieve your goals. We are not out to have a million students or the largest school in the state.
At Fuson's Eclectic Martial Arts, we take a different approach then most schools and instructors, and we look at all of our students and help them climb the path to improve themselves both mentally and physically during their road to martial arts mastery.
If this is the path you wish to take, then you have found the right place to start.
We are also available for privates, groups and seminars.
We do enroll schools as our affiliates who wish to teach our systems and work directly with Sifu as a representative in your community.
We look forward to helping you along your journey, no matter how much or little previous training you have.
The following are specialized arts taught at our school, including Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, along with general courses and private instruction in Self Defense. They are listed here with a brief description of each art:
Filipino Martial Arts ( Escrima-Kali-Panantukan-Silat) Teens & Adults
This is an eclectic blend of several styles and systems from empty hand arts to the knife, stick and other weaponry of the Filipino Martial Arts. We incorporate some of the best fighting methods and principles of the Filipino Fighting Arts into this class to give the student the most open and free expression of combative defense. We teach not just one system but elements , techniques and principles borrowed from many of the island styles .
This method of fighting and training will help the student grow in all areas of combat and keep their skills honed as they learn how to maneuver within all areas from long range fighting, mid range, close range and the ground.
We also employ locks and restraints, popular for controlling an adversary, and useful to our law enforcement officers.
This is the same art I teach mixed into our integrated course that I have taught military and law enforcement officers over the years.
Jun Fan Gung Fu - Jeet Kune Do- Jeet Kune Do Concepts 16yrs-Adult
Our most difficult & challenging class is the non-classical Jun Fan Gung Fu & Jeet Kune Do course.
This is for those interested in preserving the art and philosophy of the late Bruce Lee.
This art has been taught to many Elite Special Forces and Secret Service Teams around the World and has been generally offered in private lessons and is not what the general public knows as "an open art".
There are few legitimate instructors in Jun Fan Gung Fu & Jeet Kune Do, and Sifu Russell Fuson is in fact one of them, having been fortunate enough to meet & train under the guidence with 3 of Bruce Lee's students !
Don’t miss the opportunity to learn directly from Sifu Russell Fuson, who is a 2nd generation student of the late Bruce Lee, having been ranked as a Jun Fan Gung Fu & Jeet Kune Do Concepts instructor by the late Sifu Larry Hartsell ( one of Bruce Lee's top students and JKD's premire grappler).
You will learn the early stages of Jun Fan Gung Fu to the advanced methods and eventually tailor fit the art to your natural abilities in Jeet Kune Do. This is a long road with no shortcuts.
We teach all the JKD "ranges of combat" and will teach you how to learn to flow effortlessly from range to range without thought.
This Jeet Kune Do course is the most difficult and challenging one you may ever see or hear about and is not for everyone. Accept no substitute, this IS genuine Jeet Kune Do with a legitimate lineage directly to Bruce Lee !
We also represent The Boxer Rebellion International Martial Arts and teach their JKD, Kali and Hybrid Fighting System.
B.R.I was founded by legendary Sifu/Guro Mark Stewart, an instructor under Ted Wong ( Bruce Lee Student) & Ted Lucay Lucay.
Kalsadapo
Street Law ( Law of the Street )
A modern martial art developed for practical street self defense and an offshoot of Kenpo. Kalsadapo Karate is one of the many progressive arts based on self defense and is designed not as a sport but to teach the practitioner a practical blend of combative techniques and responses to violent encounters.
The training methods are both effective and progressive to meet the nature of our changing society and you will find more locking in this art then the more common forms of karate or TKD that stress more on kicking. In Kalsadapo we give you the tools necessary to understand a more realistic response to holds and grabs commonly found on the street that is easier for people with less strength to accomplish.
Self-Defense
Self -Defense Classes
We offer custom self defense classes for all your needs. These can be private classes, groups, businesses, school corporations or any other event you may want.
Whether you are looking for just some basic self-defense skills, women's self-defense class, or even a self-defense certification course we can provide the training classes that are right for you.
