Jeet Kune Do (way of the intercepting fist) is a no-holds-barred Mixed Martial Arts form developed by (who else?) Bruce Lee. The goal of JKD is to be functional in each range of combat, with or without a weapon, against one or more armed or unarmed assailants, in a variety of environments. It's realistic and brutal MMA (Mixed Martial Arts, named thus because it combines forms and techniques from almost all styles of martial arts.)

I decided I needed focus in my life (something I had hoped to gain through a D/s relationship, and still hope to gain through D/s in the future) and I started researching martial arts. Hawaii is a hotspot for MMA, with some of the best fighters in the world hailing from our islands. I asked around (my guy friends) and kept hearing one name pop up: Burton Richardson.

Unfortunately, Sifu Richardson limits himself and the instructors under him (who teach the classes with him and ensure a high degree of attention to each student) to only 2 classes. (One with more advanced students than the other.) And only 18 students per class. Which means it's a bitch to get under his tutelage.

Not to sound elitist, so I won't go into details, but say hello to his newest (...and 19th...) student. Gee, and I only had to sign my life away for a year! (At least, that is.)

I haven't been to many classes yet, but I already feel a new sense of focus and I feel quite centered when I leave. I've noticed some funny similarities between Martial Arts and BDSM.

1) Both have Masters, who guide you and focus your abilities so that you can self-improve and grow in all ways (physically, mentally, spiritually.)

2)
A) In BDSM we gather together (in a Dungeon) and beat on each other. (lol)
B) In Jeet Kune Do we gather under the Hongwanji and beat on each other (and boy does it feel good!)

3) Both get the adrenaline pumping.

4) Both involve rituals and dedication (although JKD is much less ceremonial than classical martial arts.)

5)
A) In PYL/pyl relationships there is sometimes a "contract" involved.
B) In JKD Unlimited there is also a contract if you wish to become a student.

6) Both involve various pain-causing equiptment. ;) (In JKD we are concentrating mostly on stick and knife fighting, with some adaptation for sword fighting.)


I'm sure I could think of more parallels between the two...

I'm so honored to be accepted, and I have a feeling I'm only just beginning to appreciate the opportunity I've been given. I've found everyone else in the school to be very friendly, even (especially) after they've knocked me to the ground. Sifu Richardson is pleased with my demonstrations so far. I have to say, this is one of the best decisions I've made in my life recently.

But I have small apprehensions as well. I enjoy knowing that whatever male I am with can physically overpower me. Will I have to search the world over for a male who is not only a Dom and a sadist, but also trained in Jeet Kune Do? :eek: (Um, I don't think collarme even lists that as an interest!!!) And I wonder if I will get scrutinized for this in the BDSM community, as I imagine many Doms will consider it "un-subby" to learn such a ruthless form of fighting. I have already been told by someone I love that I am unsubby, and possibly not a true submissive. It shouldn't matter to me all that much what others think or say about me, but I wonder if this endeavor will in any way stunt my ability to find a compatible mate. No matter what I do on the outside, it doesn't change what I am on the inside. Fighting skills, focus, even sprituality... none of that fills the same place in my soul as the feeling I get when kneeling calmly before my Dominant and awaiting his praises/orders/punishment.

I think I'll end with a question. Is anyone else involved in something (a hobby, an interest, a class, a job) where they see similarities to BDSM?

Good for you! And congrats on being elite ;)
Sounds like fun learning. And if a Dominant will be concerned, maybe he will just to have some buddies help tie you down, then once they leave (or stay, depending on what everybody prefers) he can do whatever with you and all your Jeet Kune Do won't help you the least bit :eek: :D

True, all the fighting skills in the world won't help you if you can't move your body, eh? :catgrin:

Just another reason for me to enjoy bondage, I suppose. :rolleyes:

One of my charges is ...well let's just say highly involved in martial arts and would have trouble finding people to kick his ass. There are people who can kick his ass, a number of them women. There are men and other women who will kick the asses of those women on other days. There's always someone who can give you that sense of futility in fighting.

There are always going to be men you might lose to or will be evenly matched with, you just might have to find Doms into martial arts as well, if that's your need.

One of my other playmates does eclectic martial arts and if anything it's made her more chilled out and more manageable as a sub/bottom and it's done wonders for her self-esteem. Personally I think it's a great thing for anyone to do and I like the idea of a guy or a girl in a gi. But I don't especially equate being able to defend yourself or being physically strong with a lack of submission, that seems mighty insecure. I have enough faith in my ability to inspire a submissive response in a powerful individual who is responsive to what I'm about.
 
congrats

I have a job where there are similarities to BDSM but I'll have to pm those observations. Not everyone gets to know everything about me.

As far as the martial arts, congrats girl. I hope that you love it and excel at it. Being submissive is a very personal thing between the people involved intimately with each other so the training shouldn't make you into something you are not. On the other hand there are people out here that wouldn't mind a submisive who is able to take care of herself and who can be dangerous. I'm one of those. I actually prefer a woman who can protect herself when I'm not able to be there to do it for her. Predators tend to be cowards and will wait for situations with women where they are alone to attack. At any other time anyone fucking with what is mine becomes my toy to play with. In my mind it is almost like forging a contract with me that gives me full permission to make anyone my bitch on the spot when they fuck up like that. Call it tough love.
 
Congrats on being accepted, and having the ability to realise you needed something and going after it. As to it seeming unsubly.....perhaps think of it this way.....your future Dominant is going to want to know you value what is his as much as he does, and part of that is ensuring your safety and well being.....a Dom/me cannot always be there to do that for you 24/7 so the fact you can do it for yourself can ease their ind. You could also use that thought process in part in terms of finding a Dom/me who is not as physically equipped as you in terms of defence.....part of your service can be in terms of being able to offer you both safety if ever needed.....much like subs who chauffeur, take care of money and payments, making appointments, oversee other subs, make sure the Dom/ma always has what they need in terms of food; clean clothing etc. I have learned if you get your mind into the right mindset....that being that whatever your Dom/me expects of you is part of your submission to their will, no matter how unsubly it may appear to others (after all it is what the Dominant wants which counts)....that anything is possible to incorporate into the duties of the submissive.

I think you may well find that the focus and discipline you instill in yourself in JKD will lend themselves to your submission. Just as in a potentially dangerous situation, you would restrain yourself from attacking with all your skill and power, because you are trained to not use your skills until they are needed, you will find it easier, not harder, to act in an appropriate manner.

I have known a number of both pyls and PYLs who were involved in various marital arts, and never heard one say that their martial arts training/skills had interfered with their involvement in the BDSM world or its activities. On the contrary, those who mentioned any correlary said that their martial arts training had helped them maintain control.

Agreed.

I think you made a really great decision here Killi and I was really happy to read this. :)
 
That's great, my Master is interested in JKD and wants to find an instructor here in Canada, but so far no luck. :( I'm glad you found someone to teach you and I hope you really enjoy it! Good luck! BTW, I don't think it's un-subby to learn how to defend yourself, my Mater wants me to take martial arts so that I don't have any problems when he's not around. He fears for my safety and wants me to be able to take care of myself and not be a wuss! ;) I Love Him! :D

I got your PM. And talked to you since then, so why am I writing this a'tall?! Oh well. :rolleyes:

PS: For those who don't know, Betticus has a REALLY cool job. As a geeky physics-type girl, I am jealous. :catroar:
 
Netzach - I agree, gi's are sexy. :) A few of the guys are wearing them to class because they are training for specific competitions in which they will be expected to wear them. But other than that, we wear street clothes, because a gi is loose and gives your opponent something to grab onto. This is fighting at it's dirtiest, and the muscled 25 year old guy across from me is not opposed to grabbing onto my clothing or my braid, if I don't dress and do my hair with fighting in mind.

Yes, it's as sexy as it sounds. There's more than one reason I enjoy class, LOL.

(For the record, I am not opposed to sending a kick into his crotch if he doesn't block it, which is why we train safely and use protective equiptment when possible.)

Also, I thought about what you said about inspiring a submissive response... And I realize that even if I were to get really good in JKD, and yet had a Dom who wasn't, it wouldn't mean I'd feel any less submissive when he asserts his dominance... I guess I was looking at it with a narrow viewpoint. After all, many male subs could probably overpower their Dommes, yet they don't. I still have some thinking to do on this subject.

timberwolf - Thank you.

Catalina - I would be most pleased to incorporate this type of training into my service (if ever needed) to my Dominant. I can especially see how it would come in handy were I to have a sister sub again. I would be very glad to know that I could protect her if we were in a dangerous situation without our Dominant.

This is a good insight, thank you. :)

Marquis: Thanks.

flowerchilde: Sorry to hear your Master is having a hard time finding an instructor. JKD isn't taught as much as other styles, so I can see why. I hope he has better luck soon! If you do start martial arts at your Master's discretion, I'd love to hear about your experience and especially if it affects your submission (good/bad) in any way. Thanks for chiming in! :kiss:

I don't know why I ended up here, I would have been really good at Psi Ops. But it's really me that's jealous of the biotech stuff.

I want a doggie. Can you make me one that is half rottweiler and half african hyena from hell.

I'll name him Patches and give him a big, stout spiked leather collar and use a piece of heavy chain for a leash. I'll have to get a vet to remove the scent glands. They need to run around 220 pounds or so and then I'll also train some of those hellhounds as police dogs. I know that is the last thing I'd want to see coming after me if I were running from the cops.

Where was I?

Oh yeah, one of my best friends is a police knifefighting instructor. The last message I got from him was something about making it illegal to give drivers licenses to Korean women. Not that I don't think women can't drive. My buddy Jordan is a 20 year old streetracer chick and she is a better driver than me. If you are talking about asinine speed and cornering.

Thanks, I'm looking into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu because it's good for self defense and there is a studio that teaches it near my house. I'll let you know how it is once I start classes, gotta wait for some extra money first! ;)
 
Not submissive behavior.

*makes a rude sound*

In my opinion, anyone who judges a submissive 'un-subbish' because they're capable of taking care of themselves in a physical sense, and enjoy pursuits that aren't necessarily always thought of as typically done by a 'submissive' personality, is simply afraid that they don't have what it takes to dominate said submissive.

Fuck em. You don't need anyone that'd be scared they can't handle you, Killi.

Sounds like fun, and I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Dunno why anyone would think they can't handle lil 'ol me..... *insert angelic look here* lol

Seriously, though... It's alot of fun! Thanks, Sunny, I totally agree with what you just said. And hearing it from others (like you) makes me feel even more confidant that this was a really good choice for me to make. I guess I just had so much other stuff going on in my life that I chose to over-think how it would relate to this one thing. :)

One of these days I'll ask someone to take a picture of me sparring so I can post it. :catgrin:
 
So, inspired by the thread starter, I recently decided to pursue martial arts classes myself. I tried looking for Jeet Kune Do, but the closest thing I could find near me was Krav Maga, a mixed martial arts and self defense system taught to the Israeli military.

They kick a lot of ass, so that should be good enough.


In any case, I just came back from my first class, and as it turns out I am a gaping pussy. I cannot jump rope for long enough, I cannot keep my arms raised in between punches. I think my sparring partner almost broke my forearm and middle aged women were sweating less than I.

I think somehow I had always convinced myself I was a badass, and now the cold hard truth that this may have been a fabrication of my imagination is weighing down on me heavily.

What to do, what to do.

In any case, I just came back from my first class, and as it turns out I am a gaping pussy. I cannot jump rope for long enough, I cannot keep my arms raised in between punches. I think my sparring partner almost broke my forearm and middle aged women were sweating less than I.

I think somehow I had always convinced myself I was a badass, and now the cold hard truth that this may have been a fabrication of my imagination is weighing down on me heavily.

What to do, what to do.

I have to agree with CC... :D
Two things you can do: 1) Live with the knowledge of NOT being a badass and drop the classes.
2) Work harder to become one.

Krav Maga kicks ass, Marquis. :catgrin: I say, keep at it... trust me, your muscles will get used to it, and sparring is hella fun. Did I tell you I have biceps now?? Not as large as C's, but an actual noticable improvement over what I used to look like when I curled my arm. Now it pops up in the middle. :D

I think KM and JKD are similar in alot of ways... both no-holds barred mixed martial arts. I'd love it if you emailed me sometime to let me know how it's going. :)

I keep meaning to look into some form around here but I just can't seem to be able to get my work schedule to be predictable enough.
 
Congrats Killishandra and Marquis!

Training is good. Can be fun and boy how it can make you feel!

I happen to be looking into a real kick ass martial arts course for my daughter right now. Sadly, so far neither of those is in my area. What my area has too much of is Tae Kwan Do, which she has done and doesn't want to do again. I have also found some Aikido, Kobudo Tai Chi I've taken this but it's not what I am looking for now.) , and Liado.

Now to research the ones I don't know.

Fury :rose:
 
Good on you, Killishandra! :nana:

On a side note, I too used to care a lot about how my interest in the martial arts, (amoungst other things,) might effect people's perception of my submissiveness.

Then I decided I didn't care.

Then I was warned about how not caring might effect people's perception of my submissiveness.

Then I decided I didn't care even more.

I find I get much less headaches these days just being me, and surrounding myself with folks mature enough to accept that.

I've also met some very real, dominant, confident and sincere men this way. Hell, one of 'em even teaches me martial arts. :catgrin:
 
a friend of mine took krav maga for a while and loved it, and she kept telling me i should get into it but i havent yet. its something i've always wanted to do. from what she told me it focuses more on real life situations and how to handle them, and i like that idea. this thread may inspire me to actually check it out and sign up :) :catroar: just hearing how much fun youre having Killi is making me want to go do it. i've been wanting to go do something physical, i just wasnt sure what. plus..i like the idea of not having to be afraid of ANYone, not even a guy. :cathappy:
