MKG Martial Arts is one of the few schools in the country offering authentic instruction in French savate, Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do and other methods. Technically called Boxe Francaise, this art employs graceful kicks and effective combinations of hand and foot strikes into a truly unique kickboxing art. Students will learn to box and kick dynamically and in combination and use this to develop effective timing and reactions without risk of injury. They will work their balance, flexibility and coordination. The emphasis on discipline and respect helps develop positive character traits in people of all ages. Jeet Kune Do is quite similar but add’s a layer of self-defense as well.
