In a “perfect world” the best way to defend yourself would be to avoid dangerous situations all together. Unfortunately, that will only work to a certain point. It’s almost impossible to avoid risk all together; since dangerous situations can develop with little to no warning and could be from the people whom you would least likely expect. I know the facts are scary: but they are true. Knowledge on how to protect you, and your loved ones, in virtually any situation is key to feeling safe-no matter where you go.
When looking for the correct program to learn self-defense; tradition martial arts won’t work as well as combative martial arts. At Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, Salem MA, our Filipino Jiu-Jitsu program is our most practical and realistic form of self-defense. In Filipino Jiu-Jitsu, we teach a reality based self-defense curriculum, incorporating an extensive variety of strikes, low line kicks, joint locks, trapping, clinch fighting, take downs, grappling/ground fighting and weapons training; making it a realistic form of self-defense. A lot of the concepts are similar to those in Krav Maga, in regards to the realistic and street based form of street self-defense.
Filipino Jiu-Jitsu is well suited for men, and women of all ages, fitness and experience levels because physical strength and athletic abilities are not essential. Only the core techniques have been taken from these combative arts and organized into an easy to learn curriculum that can benefit the beginner as well as the advanced practitioner.
In addition to learning effective self-defense, Filipino Jiu-Jitsu also provides the student with the means to improve their physical fitness, awareness, flexibility and self-confidence. Combining the best of many styles into a blended system gives our students the advantage they need to protect themselves in virtually any situation.
