    February 2020: Vows for the Year of the Rat

    A Vow for the Year of the Rat
    "How do you become stronger, smarter, faster, healthier? How do you become better? How do you achieve true freedom? There is only one way. THE WAY OF DISCIPLINE." - Jocko Willink If we can develop discipline, we can achieve things we previously believed were impossible. As we begin the New Year, we often set goals and resolutions for ourselves. The difference between achieving these aims and not achieving them comes down to one thing. Discipline. Goals and resolutions are one thing, but a vow is something even greater. I didn't make a resolution when I married my wife. I vowed to nourish and cherish her to the point of being willing ....

    Espada y Daga Hand Sparring (Kali Filipino Martial Arts Severn Maryland)

    Chuck and Jason enjoy a match of Espada y Daga hand sparring between classes at Maryland Jeet Kune Do, near Severn. The different length between a stick and a dagger force the mind to think differently about movement, strategy, and application. Here, they are only targeting the hand, a concept in Filipino martial arts called Defanging the Snake. https://marylandjeetkunedo.com/classes/Kali ....

    Come On, Give Them a Pat on the Back

    Earlier this week, I received a testimonial from a long term student of Maryland Jeet Kune Do, Abra Burkett. Abra is a skilled martial artist who has grown in leaps and bounds over the time I have known her. After almost five years of training, she is ready to move forward with the next stage of her journey, as a stunt performer and instructor of martial arts movement for performers in film, stage, and television . Her words of gratitude were very touching, and so I shared them on social media along with a video of Abra sparring with Hannah, another MDJKD member. Later that evening, Burton Richardson, shared the video on social media with praise for the ladies' performance. Burton ....

The Neck Twist Takedown is dangerously effective in sport and self-defense fighting and is found in Silat, Kung Fu, Muay Thai, and many other arts.

This is the place to go if you want to know real world application of techniques.  Sifu Jaeger is an amazing teacher.  He ensures that each student receives feedback during each class.  Sifu Jaeger also pushes his students to train harder and motivates them to do so in class.  The students are all very friendly and welcoming.  For someone who is very introverted I feel comfortable with the school, Sifu Jaeger, and the students.  Sifu Jaeger also doesn't just teach the student how do execute techniques.  He teaches the how, why, and when each technique is used and how they can be put together during real world situations.  If you are not attending this school you are definitely missing out.  What are you waiting for?

I've been coming to MD JKD for nearly 3 years. It was important to me to find a place where I felt comfortable and safe with both the instructor and all the students while also avoiding "McDojos" and knowing I'm receiving instruction that could actually be useful to me in real life if anything actually happened and I needed to defend myself.

MD JKD ticked all those boxes. Everybody is friendly and encouraging. JB, the instructor, is always willing to answer questions and train with his students. I can definitely tell a difference in myself from when I first started to now and I'm much more confident about how I'd fare if I ever got into a fight-type of situation.

I can’t say enough about joining the self defense class and learning Jeet Kune Do.  I have a looooong way to go, but JB and the rest of the team are just awesome and very patient.   This is all very new to me but I like the fact that while patient, they don’t hold back either.  I took a chance to do something out of my comfort zone and I’m so glad I did.  If you have no clue what this is, just try it out and see for yourself!
