These classes will cover the art of "Vee Jitsu Te" (Vee is for professor Florendo Visitacion, the founder/grand Master). It is a mix of different styles. "Vee Jitsu Te" teaches basic karate type moves - kicks, punches, katas, etc. and like all martial arts teaches focus and confidence. Vee Jitsu focuses on Judo (foot sweeps and hip throws which uses the other person's weight against them), Ju Jitsu - joint locks to control an opponent, and Akido - redirecting an opposing force by becoming one with it). It is also practical. Kids learn to handle situations they encounter in everyday scenarios at school. This class will cover what to do if surrounded by multiple "bad guys" and what to do if someone grabs your wrists, puts you in a bear hug type hold, a headlock, or grabs your shirt.
