The Combative Martial Arts Academy
|
|
FIGHT, FLIGHT or FREEZE: The Combative Martial Arts Academy is the only place in the Birmingham, Alabama area where Hardcore Jeet Kune Do is offered in their purest form. Our approach is HARDCORE STREET COMBAT: no pajamas, no barefoot kata, no ceremonial bowing; just no-nonsense applied science for stopping a violent encounter quickly and decisively. No previous martial arts experience is necessary. We start from the ground up, training (or re-training) your body to use the most natural stances, footwork, kicks and strikes in the most direct and efficient manner. From "Day One" fundamentals, you learn self-defense skills that become ingrained and intuitive. As you progress, you gain skill, strength, speed, endurance and intuition -- the core tools that will keep you from becoming a victim of violence. Training Locations

Your Instructor
Your instructor is Sifu Lamar M. Davis II, Second Generation student of Bruce Lee with over 20 years training in Jeet Kune Do. Sifu Davis has trained with eighteen of Bruce Lee's original students, is certified as a Full Instructor directly by five of them, and is recognized as a Full Instructor by the rest. Sifu Davis is the author of Scientific Streetfighting and over 70 articles published in various martial arts magazines. Click here for more information.
A Private Club
The Combative Martial Arts Academy is a private club. This is for quality control. We do not discriminate against anyone, regardless of race, sex or religion. Anyone has the right to apply for membership. We just want serious, dedicated students who have a sincere desire to learn. We realize that your time is limited, and will not allow your training to be disrupted by individuals who are not studying as seriously as you are.
If you have a criminal record involving anything of a violent nature, if you use drugs of an illegal nature, if you drink alcoholic beverages regularly and go out to bars looking for trouble, then we don't want you training here. We do not put up with the abuse of Bruce Lee's fighting methods in any way. We want members who are dedicated to keeping their bodies (and minds) in good shape. If you will abuse your own body, you will more than likely abuse anything. We have a saying that goes something like this:
"If you take care of your body, it will take care of you."
"If you let your body down, it will surely let you down."
