Description
Formerly Boxer Rebellion International (BRI)
In 1992 Mark Stewart founded the L.A. Chinatown Kali & JKD Club and had already begun to teach internationally, on a regular basis. The name Boxer Rebellion International was used formally from 1993 until 2002. The term was used to express the idea of "personal revolution through martial arts training" and continues to be our mission.
Boxer Rebellion 1900
In China around 1900, during the Ching Dynasty, there occurred an uprising that would later be called the "Boxer Rebellion". The Boxer Rebellion was an attempt to rid China of foreigners who were oppressing indigenous ways and attempting to convert the Chinese to the "civilized ways" of Western society.
Although atrocities were committed on both sides and the Boxers (martial artists) were abandoned by their rulers, the Rebellion represented revolution against oppression.
