About this user

Rhode Island Combat Club is a Performance Training Group under Burton Richardson's JKD Unlimited / Mixed Martial Arts for the Street Association (jkdunlimited.com).

Our focus is to study self-defense from a variety of disciplines, and gear all our training towards realistic self-defense situations, as opposed to training for sport-style martial arts. While sport-oriented training is invaluable, and we do compete in various tournaments, the main drive of our training is best summed up by Guro Richardson's "Four Guiding Principles of Jeet Kune Do Unlimited."

1. WE TRAIN FIRST AND FOREMOST FOR STREET SELF-DEFENSE. We train to be effective in the street environment, then make adjustments to the training for students who wish to enter sporting competitions. Not the other way around.

2. WE TRAIN WITH PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE. A real attacker is going to resist your effort 100%. If you want to learn how to fight, you have to practice fighting against someone who is fighting back. Progressive resistance allows everyone, regardless of experience, to do this in a safe, fun training environment.

3. WE TRAIN AS COMPLETE SELF-DEFENSE ATHLETES: We train to be prepared for almost any situation: all the ranges (standing, clinch, ground), multiple opponents, weaponry and a variety of environments. We want each student to actually train in as many self-defense scenarios as possible so that if a student gets into a bad situation they already have experience in that particular situation.

4. HAVE FUN! I am planning to train for the rest of my life, and I assume that my students will do the same. If we are going to spend this much time working on developing functional skills, we should be having fun doing it. If you are training for a competition, you have to grind and do a lot of very uncomfortable and painful training. If you are training for self-defense, you should work very hard at times, but it should not be a big grind. The training sessions should be so enjoyable that we look forward to each class. Our classes in Honolulu, Hawaii are held in a very relaxed but disciplined atmosphere. Lots of laughing and joking while training hard. As Bruce Lee said, You should train seriously, but dont seriously train. Well said!
