Many people live a life of quiet desperation. It is very unfortunate to see people walking around being tired, unfocused, stressed. They feel out of control. They are trapped in the hypnotic conditioning of their fears, doubts and worries. A typical day is spent going to work, dealing with the constant hassles of putting out fires for nine to ten hours per day, skipping meals, and rushing to get home to sit in front of the television and forget about the daily grind. Week after week this habit goes on. The weeks turn to months and the months to years. Over a period of time you become conditioned to believe, “Well, that’s just the way it is, there’s nothing I can do about it.” Helplessly you continue doing what you’re doing, feeling as if just hanging in there is the answer.

To know that you are taking care of yourself in a way that allows you to have more energy and passion for the things that matter most in your life.

JEET KUNE DO

"With nothing but his hands, feet and a lot of attitude, he turned the little guy into a tough guy." -- Time

J K D - Using No Way as Way, Having No Limitation as Limitation"

Jeet Kune Do - "The individual is more important than any established system". We understand and appreciate that each of our students is an individual with their own strengths and abilities. With that in mind our class structure stresses the importance of the student finding what works best for them.  Areas of study are footwork and movement, basic boxing, kickboxing skills, close range trapping, (both with striking and locking/takedowns) strategies and theories of combat.

The program is broken down into 3 phases with levels in each phase. Each of which will provide the skills necessary to advance safely to the next level/phase.

• Phase 1 The student is introduced to correct methods of movement, punching and kicking skills . Physical  contact will be on training equipment such as boxing focus mitts, Muay Thai striking pads and heavy bags. The student will concentrate on defensive skills such as evading and slipping as well as counter attacks. No boxing or kickboxing full contact sparring is allowed in Phase 1. The student will also be introduced to basic trapping and energy drills .EMA's level 1 JKD classes focus heavily on Western Boxing. We feel that most “traditional” Martial Arts systems, such as Karate or Tae Kwon Do over emphasize “flashy kicking” techniques and overlook the importance of Boxing. The Boxing range is a very important range of combat and a common range in most self defense situations.
• Phase 2 Once the student has proven capable of properly executing the defensive skills learned in Phase 1 they can advance to Phase 2. In this phase the student will be allowed safe contact  in both boxing and kick boxing wearing fully protective equipment.  Contact is light as the emphasis is on polishing the basic skills. Advanced trapping  skills are taught in this phase, as well as how to incorporate these skills in self-defense situations and in sparring.
• Phase 3 After the student becomes comfortable  with limited contact, they will be allowed to increase the level of contact  with appropriate safety equipment. This is the phase when the student will truly recognize their abilities as a well rounded Martial Artist.

BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU

 
       

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) has become the most sought after Martial Art of modern times. Made popular by the Gracie family of Brazil for it’s highly effective self defense and sport fighting applications, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is now practiced worldwide. Combat sports events such as The Ultimate Fighting Championship and Pride Fighting Championship among others have been proving grounds for the effectiveness of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in combative situations. The primary focus of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is ground fighting and ground defense. Since a large majority of street fights and attacks end up on the ground it is important that anyone who truly wants to be able to defend themselves when their safety is at risk MUST know at least the basics of ground fighting.

Since the techniques and principles of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are based on leverage rather than strength a smaller person can easily defend themself against a larger and stronger opponent. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is also the perfect self defense system for women to learn as the majority of attacks against women are unfortunately, sexual assaults in which the victim is forced to the ground. Many Martial Arts systems such as Karate or Tae Kwon Do leave out this important “range” of fighting and self defense. They focus on high kicks or flashy techniques which are rendered useless when an attacker “rushes in” or tackles and takes you down to the ground. At EMA we teach both Gi- Sport and self defense and No Gi- Street and Mixed Martial Arts based Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. All of our classes provide an awesome work out as well! There’s no better time than now to start training in this awesome Martial Arts system. Private lessons are a great way to get the most out of your training and are available by appointment.

KRU MUAY THAI

KICKBOXING

Muay Thai Kickboxing is considered by many to be the most effective “stand up” style of fighting for self defense, sport and physical fitness. Every fight or altertaction starts standing so everyone needs to learn to defend themselves on their feet. As a self defense and sport fighting art its’ no nonsense offensive techniques are designed to stop an attacker or knock out an opponent in their tracks. Muay Thai utilizes all of the body’s natural weapons; the hands, elbows, knees, shins and feet are all used as striking surfaces. Muay Thai’s kicking techniques are second to none. Unlike many traditional Martial Arts systems ,such as Karate or Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai utilizes leg kicks as a means of breaking down an opponent. If an opponent or attacker can’t stand they can’t fight. It’s defensive techniques are highly effective in evading and/or stopping an attack by an attacker or opponent and are taught with a strong emphasis on how to counter an attack. Our Muay Thai classes also focus heavily on Boxing to help to complete the student as a well rounded fighter, capable of adjusting to all ranges of standup combat. For street self defense, our Muay Thai classes are second to none.

As a means of physical fitness training, KRU Muay Thai classes are the most well rounded total body workouts that you’ll find anywhere. Every body part is targeted in Muay Thai practice. The arms, shoulders, abs, glutes and legs are guaranteed to get a workout.

Origin of Muay Thai

Thai Kickboxing the martial art, Muay Thai, originated in Thailand over 2,000 years ago, when the Thai people used it to defend their country from invaders. Muay Thai is often called the "Science of Eight Limbs" due to its wide spectrum of offensive attacks. This full-contact sport utilizes hands, elbows, feet, and knees, using various strikes, kicks, grapples, and holds. Muay Thai focuses strongly on the fighter's mind and spirit, while developing all of the body's natural weapons. Muay Thai is not standard "kickboxing", which is a sport developed in the last century in America and Japan. Muay Thai is practiced in its modern form worldwide by a wide range of people.

BOXING

EMA BOXING

EMA's Boxing programs combine the best of Western Boxing with a powerful blend of Martial Arts hand techniques.We blend the techniques of boxing with hand techniques of Jeet Kune Do, Muay Thai  and various Close Quarters Combat Arts. In doing this we have taken Boxing to the next level in what we call "Dirty Boxing" or "Street Boxing". Our boxing focusses heavily on street defense and practical boxing application. We train with Boxing Gloves, hand wraps, focus mits and heavy bags. At the beginning stages of a students training they will be introduced to a variety of offensive and defensive techniques with a strong emphasis on defense.

Our philosophy is that it's great to be able to punch but even better to be able to avoid getting hit. In the street anything can happen so we teach our students to act quickly before having to react. We incorporate proper footwork, bobbing and weaving, slipping and evading and parrying and blocking techniques as a way of effectively defending from an attack. In addition to training for the street and self defense situations we do focus on training for the ring. Once students learn to effectively defend themself they are permitted to spar with protective gear. If a student is interested we can train them to compete in Boxing competitions.

Our classes will improve your cardiovascular conditioning, strengthen and tone the abdominals, increase muscle endurance and enhance your overall health and well being. Every class is an awesome workout!

Group and private lessons are available.

MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

NJ Mixed Martial Arts

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is the evolution of Martial Arts training and application. The Ultimate Fighting Championship, Pride Fighting, World Extreme Fighting, Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter and many other reality combat sporting events have helped to raise public awareness about Mixed Martial Arts. The best reality combat athletes in the world are those who cross train in many different fighting styles and Martial Arts systems. These fighters are known for their diversity and adaptability in combat. Fighters who are well versed in stand-up fighting skills, such as Muay Thai and Boxing, and ground fighting, such as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), Submission Grappling and Wrestling, have a clear advantage over less diverse, one dimensional fighters. It’s been proven in such events that the “old way” of Martial Arts training, which focuses on only one “range” of fighting, just doesn’t work in No Holds Barred fighting. Traditional Martial Art styles such as Karate and Tae Kwon Do are incomplete styles, which focus too heavily on one area of fighting while ignoring the reality of  “what ifs”. What if the opponent closes the range so kicks are rendered useless? What if the opponent takes the fight to the ground? What if high kicks leave the kicker off balance and vulnerable to a take down? What if the opponent is a better boxer? What if all of that flashy stuff doesn't work?

At EMA, we answer all of these “what ifs” in our street effective Mixed Martial Arts classes. We blend a variety of the practical systems that we teach into a well-developed answer for all of these types of questions. We use the stand-up systems of Muay Thai Kickboxing and Boxing as well as the ground fighting skills taught in our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes. Our Muay Thai MMA application uses low line kicks, knees, elbows, clinching and counter clinching.We use our Boxing skills to evade attacks and pick off  our opponent with devastating punches. We then combine our BJJ skills to make the fighter complete by being able to counter  takedowns as well as take an opponent down and submit them with chokes and submissions.This approach creates well-rounded, diverse fighters. Fighters who can adapt to any situation are fighters who win fights. We teach our students the difference between a street fight and sport fighting and how to apply what they learn in any situation to win the fight.To learn more about our street effective Mixed Martial Arts classes and to schedule a FREE Trial Class, call EMA now!

FIGHT/ISRAELI SELF DEFENSE

WELCOME TO F.I.G.H.T. and NJFIGHT Academy.
Fierce Israeli Guerilla Hand to Hand Tactics

The F.I.G.H.T. program uses the most effective self-defense system available today - Haganah. Haganah is a Hebrew word meaning "defense." The Haganah self-defense system is a complete Israeli Combative methodology based on both Israeli martial arts and Israeli military tactics used by Israeli Special Forces operatives in extremely hostile situations. The Haganah system (and its components) was born out of a need to enable a state (or person) at a disadvantage - such as size or degree of armament - to defeat an adversary with an advantage.

Since it's declaration of statehood in 1948, Israel (which is smaller than most states in the U.S.) has been under constant military and terrorist attack. As a result of its constant engagement in various types of combat and its ability to defeat much larger opponents, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is considered by many to be one of the best Armies in the world today. Special Forces members of the IDF are regarded around the globe as top of the line, due to their extensive hands on combat experience. The techniques incorporated into the system have been proven in violent hand-to-hand combat situations in Israel and have been carefully adapted to street oriented self-defense.

The Haganah system is far from being an ordinary Martial Art; it is the wave of the future in hand-to-hand combat and street fighting methodologies. It incorporates both unarmed and armed fighting methods. One of the most important features of the Haganah system is that, unlike many traditional martial arts systems, it is continuously enhanced. The IDF periodically updates its hand-to-hand and other combat techniques based upon its daily combat experience. Haganah integrates those updates after adapting them for use by civilians and law enforcement professionals. Additionally, we are constantly evaluating other methodologies such as those used by the various U.S. Special Forces to add in any of their techniques, which would strengthen the system. There is no ego in the Haganah system. It uses the best of the best in self-defense and combat methodologies.

Sound interesting? Call EMA now to schedule a FREE trial class to learn how to protect your life and your family with this Israeli self-defense system.

• Classes for men and women ages 18 & above
• no experience neccessary
• no uniforms- no belts
• learn hardcore self defense against larger,stronger, armed and unarmed attackers

Principles

1. Avoid getting hit. Techniques will always have an element that minimizes the danger of you being hit, especially in your vulnerable areas.

2. Don't be fancy. Techniques are simple and do not conflict with natural or instinctive body movements.

3. Defend yourself in the quickest, safest and most effective way. Most techniques include both defensive and offensive elements designed to protect you while inflicting maximum possible damage to your opponent to end the conflict quickly.

4. Use the opponent’s vulnerable and weak points. Techniques are designed to exploit the many other not so obvious weak points on the human body.

5. Don't rely on strength. Techniques are designed to minimize your effort, enabling you to work effectively even when at a size, strength or position disadvantage.

6. Use available objects as weapons. The system is designed to teach you to effectively use improvised and ordinary weapons.

7. If forced to fight, no rules, no limits. If diplomacy fails, no hesitation, no holding back - anything goes.

 

Haganah-the Self Defense Solution
When you want to be able to defend yourself and your loved ones - you don't want it to take years to learn. Traditional martial arts take years to perfect, introducing material in stages that delay becoming at all effective in defending yourself. Reality based self-defense systems typically teach material that is either too little to be effective, or requires too much skill and time to become proficient.

Haganah does neither. Haganah, an Israeli system developed by Israeli Special Forces veteran and world-class martial artist, Mike Lee Kanarek, is practical, can be learned by just about anyone in any condition in just a few months, and can be completely absorbed quickly.

Haganah's philosophy is that no one has the right to touch you with malicious intent and anyone who does should be dealt with immediately and aggressively to enable you to be safe and secure at the end of the day. All Haganah's tactics are hardcore. They are fast. They are effective. Whether you are a housewife or a homeland security professional, Haganah has a program that will enable you to achieve your goals and meet your self defense needs.

Best of all, every Haganah program will keep you in prime condition and help you boost energy and manage your weight. You won't even focus on it because you'll be learning so much - It will just happen.

Haganah - it's not just a self defense system - it's your self defense solution.
