Soma-Kai

SOMA-KAI is a concept of a complete Martial Art. One that teaches all aspects of combat, not relying on one style more than another. Methods of punching, kicking, throwing, restraints, grappling, blocking and counter striking are borrowed from many different styles and integrated into the Soma-Kai system. EVADE and counter, BLOCK and counter, HARMONISE with the attack and redirect are the basic self-defence principles for Soma-Kai. Because we are all built differently there are techniques that will suit some but not all. In this way the Soma-Kai you learn will suit you. All students are taught falling techniques from the beginning of training. In our class students start 'hitting the ground' from phase two. Students learn a variety of throws and takedowns utilising the attackers energy against them. When you are on the ground an attack could come from someone standing or someone on the ground with you. Both of these scenarios are covered within the syllabus. Soma-Kai is a member of the Australian Federation of Brazilian Jiujutsu. Methods of controlling and locking are taught as a part of this section of the syllabus. Our philosophy is 'The Mind Controls the Body'. Understanding how your mind works when under stress is very important in self-defence. Monitoring, Non-resistance and Meditation are some of the tools we use. Traditional weaponry is taught from Phase 2 onwards. The basics of Bo, Jo and Nunchaku are taught and then the student decides which weapon they would like to master in to Black Belt.
