What is in San Jieh Dao? SJD embodies many REFINED & LIBERATED elements, which take their origin from the following arts listed below.  Sifu Khozairy has also ADDED substantial amount of personal concepts, philosophies and physical elements to the entire spectrum of the art. San Jieh Dao DOES NOT emphasize or separate individual closed system of arts and their elements. San Jieh Dao DOES NOT distinguish the original of one element from another, since the elements have been extracted and liberated and reformed within SJD. San Jieh Dao DOES NOT emphasize on the traditional Names nor their Shapes or Forms. San Jieh Dao ultimately DOES recognize an element as an element of SJD and that's it.

SJD Adaptation philosophies ... Did you know that the principle aim of all martial arts must be the preparation of the practitioner for a real life combative situation? Their aim needs to be this, but sadly to say most of the time it gets ignored or watered down. Most of the talented martial artist are too busy memorizing and rehearsing the unpredictable future fighting situations. As every logical and rational person knows a fighting situation cannot be patternized, because the situations are never the same, always changing, living, hence dynamic. One cannot predict a situation by merely rehearsing it through a series of predetermined forms, katas and dead and isolated patterns. Since Katas or Forms are merely lifeless, segregated, and void patterns and motions, then, how can an individual find enough courage and ever be ready for those unpredicted occurrences? How can he or she find sufficient confidence in order to be fully prepared for a real combat (in a Tri Fold level) and therefore overcome the adversaries? The answer is San Jieh Dao's principle of adaptability. If a student is to be serious about protecting his life, he needs to be able to learn to adapt to every real Tri Fold situation as safely as possible. The individual needs to learn to mold himself into those unpredicted events, instead of trying to mold and shape those combative events into his or her particular brand and style of martial arts, techniques or katas. In a sense, one needs to adapt into the circumstances, rather than being adopted by the circumstances. This is all accomplished through SJD's comprehensive training and curriculum.   How long does it take to learn SJD? As Mr. Spock would say: "As with every living being, all according to their gifts."  It all depends on the individual, which is based upon the objective curriculum of San Jieh Dao. Another words, a student has to go through the curriculum, and if that individual is gifted and skilled and is able to apprehend the materials (according to his or her capacity level) then the individual student can have a good grasp of the art very shortly. An average student can go through one round of Phase 1 curriculum in 5 months of training (without missing classes).  And Phase 1student knows quite a bit of material, since phase one cover a vast amount of material during that period of time.  The harder the student works, the more he or she trains and even do their homework at home outside the class and continue to put all their heart and mind into it, the faster they will learn the art.  There have been many students that have trained for few short weeks and have expressed that they have learned much more in those few weeks than in years of training in traditional closed systems (styles) of martial arts.
