Learn How to Protect Yourself
Hello I am Coach Dan Ma and I have over 25 years of experience in the martial art world. I am Jeet Kune Do certified, and have training in both JKD Concepts (Dan Inosanto) and Original JKD (Jerry Poteet) lineages.
Quickly Learn Self-Preservation Techniques
I know what it is like to live in fear. If you suddenly have the need to protect yourself, then I can help you. Learning martial arts can be a slow progression for many. For those new to martial arts, my goal is to teach you a simple yet practical technique that you can start using effectively today. The mastery of one expression leads to the mastery of another expression. Confidence earned by mastery.

What Is JKD?
Bruce Lee’s fighting legacy was kept alive by a few of his closed-door students. Jeet Kune Do literally means the Way of the Intercepting Fist. JKD is mainly influenced by Wing Chun Kung Fu, Western Boxing, and Fencing.
Wing Chun
Wing Chun is an ancient Chinese martial art, which is widely regarded as an extremely practical and brutal self-defense art.
Boxing
Bruce Lee had a history in boxing, which can be seen in JKD’s footwork with crosses, hooks, and upper-cuts.
Fencing
Fencing’s influence can be found in JKD’s philosophy and principals of attacking.
Street Fighting
Although Bruce developed his art mainly for street fighting, I can present his art for the use of self defense and combative sports. JKD does not have forms or katas to practice. Instead we have drills, heavy bags, and other equipment which can be a similar experience to Muay Thai kickboxing. However JKD is not a combat sport like kickboxing, as a lot of techniques would be illegal. Even though JKD doesn’t belong in the ring, many MMA fighters (e.g. Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, & Tony Ferguson) are still using the same principals and tools from JKD to give them a sporting edge. What I love about JKD is that it is personal, practical, and modern.
