BMF Dojo

BMF Dojo, as part of Self-Defense and Fitness Systems Center, teaches the martial art of Kenpo Ju-Jutsu. This is an old-school war art featuring close-quarter combat tactics against unarmed and armed assailants.

Drawing on ju-jutsu, karate, pakua, to-te, and kobu-jutsu, this complete personal protection system features not only striking and kicking, but importantly, the foundation destruction, joint locking, joint destruction, grappling, sweeping, and throwing techniques missing from modern martial arts instruction.

BMF Dojo Head Instructor:

Christopher Balster, Menkyo Tashi Nidan.

Chris holds a 2nd-degree black belt and instructor's license from D. Michael Hurst, Soke Tenno Seishin-Ryu Kenpo Ju-Jutsu.

Mr. Hurst studied with Seiyu Oyata, 10th Dan Taika Ryu Te, among other prominent martial artists.

As an Authorized Training Center affiliated with the United States Black Belt Association, we are proud to offer Matsubayshi Shorin-Ryu and Tai-Chi instruction.

Traditional Okinawan karate system founded by Shoshin Nagamine.

The core curriculum is composed of 18 kata, the bunkai-sho and bunkai-dai interpretations of the kata, and 8 yakusoku kumite. The bunkai-dai forms are extensions to the basic bunkai-sho forms. The yakusoku kumite are sparring drills.

This is a traditional approach that provides an aerobic conditioning workout. Flexibility, strength, coordination, and balance are all honed through practice. Controlled contact is to be expected.

Tai-Chi
Class Times: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 5:45 PM - 6:30 PM
