Modern Martial Arts
Although Sand Do Kuen is a modern system, it is not a mixed martial art, nor is it a traditional martial art. Both the MMA and traditional martial arts approaches have their own strengths and flaws, and San Do Kuen occupies the middle ground between them. The Three Way Fist system is not better than MMA or classical training, it is simply different.
A Student-Focused Program
Martial arts exist today, not because of the teachers, but because of the students. It is the students that make the arts alive. Students motivate instructors to be creative and innovative.
Most programs are focused on developing style and technique and they often ignore the unique abilities of students. Instead of forcing students to emulate the characteristics of a fixed system of movement, San Do Kuen provides a simple and effective framework for martial arts skill development on a student-by-student basis.
