Exciting things to come

Looks like we have the opportunity to open up a MMA school here in Doha in the coming future. We are going to have self defense and combat fighting training along side the basic MMA tech.

We have the possibility to offer stick and knife fighting and the very much loved and adored karate and/or tae kwon do for your kids.

We will offer self defense for women as they have a whole set of issues in self defense that needs to be addressed as opposed to men.. So ladies we will be looking out for you too!

Stay tuned, we are working on getting this all together and seeing what our sponsor for the idea thinks of our proposal.

New times

It could be the case that we are going to change the times of the jujitsu class on Saturdays to shortly after asser prayer which is at about 1500 about right now.

I will keep you all posted on the changes.

Rib crush and leg attacks from guard

AbuAmerican — Sun, 25 May 2008 02:23:29 +0300

Today we did rib crush with an opponent in your guard then a leg attack while you are trying to escape the guard.

Both tech are dependent on the opponent getting sloppy in a fight for a few reasons: 1 improper training or 2 he is fatigued and doesn't have the energy to properly maintain fighting technique and posture.

Both are quite common.

Latest tech

Hello all! I'm back! couldn't post to the self defense forum for some reason but I just figured out the problem so I am back.

Been lots of tech we have done since the last time I posted so I wont try to back log them all.

This past lesson we recapped the triangle from guard and basic attacks and escapes for the new people in the class and as a refresher to the old school people.

Remember the lessons are free and if you are looking to burn some calories off we have a cardio and physical work out.

I will post some videos of past tech here in the next few days and try and keep everyone filled in on or training and possible events in the future.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce Tenshinkan Karate to people living in Qatar. Many people in South Africa, where I come from, have converted from other karate styles to ours, mainly is due to the style practicality and its large syllabus. Practitioners do not get bored with the same techniques or with just kata, but as you start you learn goshin jutsu (self defence based on aiki jutsu, joint locks and submissions, stripped of the nice movements of aikido) and you are able defend and counter attack, the system is strictly controlled from Japan (www.tenshinkan.com). It suits anybody, ladies and children included, its workout can be high intensity, for strength and fitness purposes. My wife is a purple belt and my daughter (11) is a pre-black, she'll grade for jnr. black in June at the international championship and "gashuku" in Scotland (Dundee).

I have been invited by a Shotokan dojo, here in Doha, to teach the different techniques and goshin jutsu, with the outcome that the "captain" has formally requested affiliation to Tenshinkan.

If any body is interested on learning this style I will be honoured to assist, just find a venue after 06:00 pm.

kind regards to all

Today we did no GI fights and tech. We did a review of the triangle from guard and escape from side control (no GI) with transition to reverse arm bar (elbow facing down).
Hope to see you out there!

Interest in Self defense class FREE

AbuAmerican — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 20:01:21 +0300

Looking to get an idea of how many people here would be interested in a self defense course twice a week. We are looking at covering basic defense and advanced techniques later on. We will cover basic safety tips for women to include situational awareness and some basic psychology of those who assault women.
The course will be free of course and women are naturally welcomed as are men.
Shoot me a PM so I can get an idea of numbers and if it is something that is worth carrying forward.
Thanks!

Hello all,

Just looking for someone to train with 2 or 3 times a week. Looking for more of a self defense aspect as opposed to a full style with katas and the rest.

Doesn't matter what style it is just would like to train regularly with someone. I would prefer a stand up style, I train ju-jitsu with another group already but I get the feeling I am losing my stand up.

I trained in Tae Kwon Do, Wing Tsun and stick and knife fighting so I would of course share what I know if there is someone out there willing to do the same with their style.

PM me if you are interested!
Thanks all
