Q: Does the Jeet Kune Do Academy offer ground fighting?

Of course!

We understand the need to defend ourselves in the event we end up on the ground. However from a practical, self defense perspective, we look for ways to get back on our feet as soon as possible.


Q: What type of commitment do I have to make?

We want you to make an informed decision before becoming member at our facility. You are welcome to try one of our introductory classes, which are held bi-monthly at the academy. We want you to see if JKD is right for you.


Q: Is sparring allowed?

Definitely, our sparring classes are optional, but highly recommended to enhance true proficiency.

This is where you'll get to test your combative skills.

JKD sparring classes are designed to integrate both mind and body strength.

The sessions are physically intense, yet controlled and provide a great workout. Safety is always emphasized.

Sparring classes are reserved for intermediate students.

Q: I'm a small person with little strength is JKD for me?

JKD is as safe as any traditional martial art; the Academy's classes are typically small and tightly controlled. The founder of the art the late Bruce Lee was 5'7 and weighed 130 lbs. The art is not just about sheer power, even though it is taught. However the main emphasis of JKD is placed on awareness, speed, sensitivity and the skills needed to overcome larger stronger opponents.
