SURVIVAL SOLUTIONS KALI SILAT J.K.D.

Survival Solutions mission is to offer the most effective and realistic training available today for the total domination of a "real life " street fight. Only results count in combat and at Survival Solutions, that is all we care about. We believe in questioning and testing all martial arts in order to evaluate the combat street effectiveness of the system.

We offer authentic lineage in Jeet Kune Do. Sifu Lopez lineage can be traced directly to Bruce Lee. Click here to learn more

The programs we teach are "no nonsense" and focus on function instead of form---One of our very fundamental and crucial fighting philosophies. Because of our great reputation for realistic training, we have been invited to teach military and police personnel in addition to consistently educating everyday civilians and martial artists who are in a continual quest for excellence.

In stand up fighting, the skills we use come from arts as Kali, Silat, Jeet Kune Do, Tai Chi and Dumog. In ground fighting, we specialize in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Kina Mu-tai (Filipino art of biting and eye gouging) and many other martial arts and non martial arts "Combat Systems".

Survival Solutions also trains people in the reality of improvised weapons. We define improvised weaponry as making practically anything that you can get your hands on into a useful survival tool; whether its a knife, a stick, a baseball bat, a beer bottle, or an everyday object like a cell phone. We draw this special training from Kali and Silat.

"I have been in about 23 street fights in my life. A street fight is not the same as an MMA or a traditional martial art fight: There are no rules. You don't start at 6 feet apart with a trainer in your corner and a referee between you and your opponent. Most fights start in the space of a phone booth. A knife, a gun or a club may be envolved, a sucker punch or multiple attackers. In short, anything goes. Kicks to the groin, eye jabs, biting, eye gouges, hair control, hits to the throat. Things outlawed in all legal fights because of their brutally and lethalness. That's is what separates Survival Solutions from the others.
