Core JKD Concepts is dynamic martial art training stemming from Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do Concepts and covers the following ranges of combat against resisting opponents with or without weapons: weapons, kicking, boxing, trapping (also called the clinch) and ground fighting.

In Core JKD you find your own path in martial arts training. Drop that cookie-cutter mentality where everyone maintains a strict, tense uniformity - where in nature is everything clean cut uniform?

Unless you are a crystal lattice, intolerant, inflexible, then you belong to a species where your past experiences and current physical attributes (speed, flexibility range tendency, tactile awareness, strength, etc.) matter. That's right - matters. We don't discount your natural gifts and tendencies - even if you don't believe you have any - in the way we train you.

Does this mean we let you be where you are? Of course not, but we have a deep understanding how those natural (trained and non-trained) elements influence your progress and potential.

Some of your tendencies are enhanced while others are downplayed or de-trained should they interfere with efficiency or adaptation to range or attack flow.

In short time we get to know you, we work to train you to find the most efficient way to train you to reach your potential. This unique methodology is something we've been doing for over a decade with hundreds upon hundreds of students from all walks of life.

We don't pack you into a class and have you repeat movements that quite literally have little to do with the reality and brutality of a fight against resisting attackers.

Our class sizes are small because we need space to move just like in the real world where sometimes escape is your most prudent method for safety. For those times when and where you cannot get away, we have proven methods for keeping your head and dealing with the situation in the most efficient manner possible.

We also understand people train for all sorts of reasons. Some train for the physical conditioning aspect alone - and we have plenty of that!

Some train for the comraderie of like-minded individuals and a family-type atmosphere - again, we've got you covered. Our hard trainers are very much a real family. Something we are proud of.

Some train to enhance their skills in other martial arts - to which we've had many students for this purpose (don't worry, we won't tell). We welcome you.

Some wish to train to enhance their competitive careers, we adapt our training for those individuals to that end to include competition rules that aren't present in real-world attacks.

Some people simply want training in one of the most progressive, safety conscious and effective Self-Defense systems present in todays world - well, you guessed it (blushing) we've got you covered.
