The Core JKD Full Curriculum is your path to well-roundedness.

All of our curriculums focus on the individual and how that person best adapts what is taught and trained to their unique physiology. We are all different, why shouldn't your training take that into account? Core JKD training involves a relaxed atmosphere, gone are the days of rigid performance and adherence to mechanics and techniques best left in a museum. And "relaxed" doesn't mean lack of focus or intensity - as our many photos and videos on this site show.

Put another way, if you are out on the street and are attacked, would you prefer to act in a rigid, pre-programmed manner, or would you prefer to remain fluid and dynamic, adjusting to the moment-to-moment interactions in a comfortable "been there, done that" way?

This is how we train, we make the uncomfortable, comfortable and we do it in a fun way. Our students love training here because they have fun, it's what keeps them coming back - this, coupled with world-class street fighting effectiveness. Oh, and it's a phenomenal way to keep in shape.

The Full curriculum trains you in:

• Weapons range
• Kicking range
• Boxing range
•Trapping (or Stand-up grappling range)
• and the Groundfighting range
• Single/multiple opponents
• With or without weapons


The Core JKD Grappling Curriculum is in a class by itself.

Core JKD Grappling is unlike anything you may have experienced before. Sure, you may see something that looks like Brazilian Ju Jitsu, Greco-Roman wrestling, Shoot-fighting, Sambo and Judo - just to name a few - but there are distinct Core JKD movements, flows and methods of manipulation, control and submission that puts our grappling in a class by itself.

Above all, it will instinctively ingrain the body feel and tools you need to survive a ground fight. And for those of you who say "I'll never be taken to the ground in a fight", you have never been in a real fight with a skilled opponent. And you don't have to have a skilled opponent against you to have their buddies jump, trip or otherwise get you off your base - and this doesn't include that fact of you being able to trip over your own feet in a fight, or a branch, a parking bumper, slick ground, etc. Having to learn this in the street is a poor way of training.

The Grappling curriculum trains you in:

• Standing clinch/trapping range
• Ground range
• Single/multiple opponents
• With or without weapons


Core JKD's Wing Chun wtih a Twist, ain't your momma's Wing Chun.

Our development of Core JKD had a natural offshoot dealing with energy sensitivity and our own understanding of the types of attackers one may have to deal with in any physical confrontation - regardless of your physical size.

Wing Chun with a Twist is a highly mobile and transparent method of adapting to wrestlers, boxers, Thai fighters, shoot fighters, etc. in order to submit or subdue them with the least amount of physical effort in the shortest time.

Wing Chun with a Twist highlights:

• Based on Core JKD Flow Awareness
• Based on Wing Chun concepts
• Trains blind energy sensitivity and functionality in all
contact ranges - stand up or ground
• Blends Core JKD proven cover techniques
• Unique flows to strikes, headbutts and elbow attacks
• Trains against REAL attacks from people intending to do you real harm from all angles, not unrealistic attacks designed for show
