What is Free Form Combat…

Martial Arts Combat, is the Hybrid off-spring of all the traditional Martial Arts (Fighting Arts). It is the Latest Sport Combat, which requires the maximum in skill, stamina, toughness, and courage. What the “Indianapolis Race Car” is compared to the ordinary “Ford" on the street, might be a sort of analogy.

The difference between Professional Full-contact Karate and Martial Arts combat is primarily the fact that usually the Karate trained people are not always versed in Judo or grappling arts. Generally in Professional Full-contact Karate matches, emphasis is placed on Hand and Foot Techniques in mostly stand up Fighting, with takedowns limited to sweeps. But in “Martial Arts Combat” one can use takedowns, pins, chokes, arm- lock submissions, leg-locks, with the joint, not against it. This is in addition to all standard karate punching, striking, elbow and knee locks.

The Martial Arts is a physical discipline, which leads to mental and spiritual discipline. The objective of training is in the perfection of character. To become a professional Full-Contact Karate man or Martial Arts Combatant would be suitable or appealing only to a small percentage of Martial Arts devotees. But there is a place for the professional Sport Combatant, as that can be the example of a superbly conditional Professional.

There is a place for that Professional in the ideals, which can be positive instead of negative for elevation of the arts. If one becomes dirty or blood thirsty and disregards the levels of human welfare just to gain fame and money, then it would certainly be negative. If one competes with sportsmanship and honor with Martial-human-welfare and benefit in his heart, then it can be indeed a positive endeavor.

There is no make believe, or fooling oneself in Full Contact Martial Arts Combat. The man who dedicates himself to train and compete will surely become a man among men. The tempering of steel is in the forging. A man who competes, win or lose, most assuredly will grow to be a tougher metal.

Kids Bujutsu Free Form Combat Class
Tuesdays & Thursdays 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.

In this class students learn Bujutsu Free Form Combat — a combination of Muay Thai, Savate, and American Kickboxing, Kali, Wing Chun, throws, grappling and self-defense techniques.

This class includes techniques from all ranges of hand to hand combat and covers basics from the arts of Kali, Wing Chun, Boxing, Kickboxing, Karate, Grappling and Judo / Jujutsu.

In conjunction with each art, fighting ranges include long (hands and feet), close quarters (hands, knees, elbows and trapping), take downs and grappling (pins, locks and chocks).

In Kali, sticks—imitate machetes or blades. Kali was influenced by Spanish fencing; but over time cultural variations have made Kali uniquely intricate. Stick fighting is practical because its techniques transfer easily over to empty hand combat. Kali training includes single, double stick and dagger techniques.

Hayashi’s Martial Arts Academy aims to mold serious martial artists and develop good character. Our Dojo recognizes and fosters these ideals, which are positive for the elevation of the arts.

All of our instructors are adults who have at least 15 years of martial arts experience and are certified under the Zen-Bujutsukan Federation. Additionally, each instructor has competition experience ranging from regional to international.
