BCS Self Protection Course in Walla Walla

2009-03-24T11:43:00.001-07:00

BCS Self Protection Course Beginning Thursday April 7, 2009 Sponsored by IFYCA and The Little Dojo
By the little dojo March 23, 2009
We will be starting the first BCS Self Defense classes beginning Thursday April 7, 2009. If you would like attend or to refer a friend to this class you are welcome to do so. It is called the BCS Self Protection Course. It is a 2 month course meeting two times per week for 55 minutes Tuesday and Thursday Evenings from 5:30 to 6:30. The course investment is $295 for both months or $169 for just the first month. Participants will enjoy the class regardless of previous experience or physical conditioning. Benefits will include, a confidence based on actual physical skill and knowledge of how to conduct ones self before, during and after an attack, and the confidence one gets from getting in good physical condition. There are other classes out there that teach self defense for cheap but frankly are really not effective, as they are often treated as a lead into ”real” martial arts. This will teach real self defense, is fun, and will get results.
Tuition includes class, for both months, and tuition to 1 month of classes at the IFYCA School of your choice in the Walla Walla area for those who have decided that a martial arts path makes sense for you / them. There are three to choose from: The Little Dojo, The Beginners Mind Dojo, and True Spirit Martial Arts, and The Walla Walla Academy of Martial Arts.
The class will be tought by Master Instructor Steve Smith and Qualified BCS Instructors.
For people interested in the BCS Program in Canada, contact Yuen’s Family Martial Arts.

Personal Training

2008-12-10T16:03:00.000-08:00

I am now accepting 4 students for personal training.
Training individually with an instructor has many benefits, especially when taken along with regular weekly classes. Personal training allows you the instructors full attention throughout the class. This translates to the student being able to have any principle being taught applied directly. Feeling every motion when performed by an instructor rather than a student will heighten your capacity to quickly assimilate the information and learn to apply the principles in a direct and economical fashion. The instructor can also quickly identify any areas that require more attention, or the student has more interest in.

Topics: Kung Fu, Chi Kung, Knife Defense, Steve Smith, Escrima, Fitness, Tae Kwan Do, Aikido/Aiki Jutsu, Karate, Fook Yueng, Non-Classical Gung Fu, Korean Karate, Bruce Lee, Self-defense, Ba-Gua, Internal Arts, Chi Sao, Chin-na, Martial Arts, Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, St. Maries

Benifits of Training

2008-11-11T10:17:00.000-08:00

There are many benefits to training, including a greater level of fitness, flexibility, and stamina.
You will also achieve better coordination and balance physically and mentally. Due to the constant nature of change in the training and working under pressure you will be more equipped to handle any situation in a relaxed yet alert manner. Which will ultimately relieve stress and fatigue from the mind and body.

Topics: Kung Fu, Chi Kung, Knife Defense, Steve Smith, Escrima, Fitness, Tae Kwan Do, Aikido/Aiki Jutsu, Karate, Fook Yueng, Non-Classical Gung Fu, Korean Karate, Bruce Lee, Self-defense, Ba-Gua, Internal Arts, Chi Sao, Chin-na, Martial Arts, Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, St. Maries

The classes can be geared toward your personal goals and interests, or if you are unsure of the areas you may want to train in we can sit down and work up a program that will fit your needs.
The majority of the training is performed in free-flow and can include empy hand/self-defense, chi kung, chi sao/sticking hands, trapping, chin-na, traditional and improvised weapons including escrima/stick, staff, swords, knife/blade work, gun/weapon disarming, cane, environmental additions, close quarter fighting, structure emphasis, blindfold work, restrictive limb/body part training, forms/set patterns are also available to anyone interested though the emphasis on free-flow should always be prevalent.

Purpose

2008-11-10T13:52:00.001-08:00

The goal of Inner Warrior Martial Arts is to provide private/semi-private instruction tailored to individual needs. This is a principle based learning environment for both the teacher and student. The principles are based upon structure, flow, energy, sensitivity, and change. Physically speaking most people are relatively the same, but there are many things that set us apart. We work with an individuals interests, needs, personal perception, and existing skills-including non-martial skills. Many people find this type of learning more self-fulfilling and more fun than training in a school with a rigid system structure and with 20+ other students where your interaction with the instructor may only be 1 to 5 minutes of an hour class. At any given time group classes will not exceed 8 people, this ensures a better environment for the transfer of information and student/instructor interaction.
