JEET KUNE DO

First and foremost Jeet Kune Do is a comprehensive and practical self-defense system meant for today's modern world. We are not claiming to teach "authentic", historical JKD just as it may have been taught to Bruce Lee”s students and we are not trying to "preserve" or hold true to the tradition of such art. You won't find any mystical secrets and, yes, we do have "all out" full contact training. Although the concepts, strategies, and techniques of that system are taught today  are a major influence to this system, it is the underlying meaning of JKD, more than anything else. The idea and philosophy that is JKD embody the spirit of self-preservation. Simply put, the word in itself relates to perseverance and self-protection.

Our JKD is also not a new martial art or style. Its philosophy, in many ways, mirrors the philosophy of the legendary Bruce Lee; its teaching doctrine comes from Hock Hochheim ;Gary Dill ;and all of its skills and concepts taught can be found in Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Kali/Arnis, and many other martial arts and systems.JKD is essentially just a more modern way of efficiently teaching a comprehensive array of age-old proven self-defense concepts. Traditionally, these concepts have generally taken significant time to learn due to the way they have been taught. However, backed by modern science and experience, we have developed an effective way to teach them in a fraction of the time, and without being limited by any specific style or set range of techniques. Our methods emphasize effectiveness over style, practical mechanics, adaptation, and economy of movement. They are easy to retain and recall, even under stress, and, in most cases, do not require the student to press beyond their current physical capabilities.

In short, this system is:

• Designed and developed for the purposes of practical, modern real-world application
• Not intended for sport, exercise, or the preservation of a historical art
• Delivered in a logically organized, easy to learn teaching format
• Designed to give you usable, effective skills, quickly
• Designed to take those that wish to a higher level of skill refinement, personal achievement, and physical fitness and cabability level than the average person
