HOW I BEGAN MY JEET KUNE DO JOURNEY

I have great respect for MMA training, but my true passion is in practicing Bruce Lee’s martial art, Jeet Kune Do.

The problem is, finding a place to train in Jeet Kune Do is like searching for a brand new Ferrari sports car to zoom by on the road - it's nearly as rare as finding a unicorn!

When I was 12, there were no JKD schools around, so I had to rely on books, magazine articles, and practice with my brother in our parents' basement.

When we decided to test our training at other martial arts schools, I quickly learned just how effective Bruce Lee’s lead leg obstruction "stop kick" was in stopping a sparring match!

MY OWN RESEARCH

I have learned Jeet Kune Do from teachers who were direct students of Bruce Lee, and I have broken down the art just like an MMA fighter breaks down the MMA game.

Similarly to how an MMA fighter learns different aspects of the game from different schools, I have studied the main influences of Jeet Kune Do - Wing Chun Kung Fu, Western Boxing, and Fencing - from their respective schools.

My research has allowed me to move better than I ever have before, and I have decided to take action to address the lack of Jeet Kune Do training in my area by starting Jeet Kune Do North York.

“Fear is the foundation of all human limitations.”

TRAINING WITH A LEGEND

JEET KUNE DO NORTH YORK

We may not be a traditional school, but as a community, we are dedicated to the practice and development of Jeet Kune Do athleticism every day.

Supporting each other to stay consistent in our practice, we engage in various activities such as calisthenics, jump rope, running, shadow boxing, focus mitts, sparring, stretching, and meditation.

Just like Bruce Lee, who used Jeet Kune Do to become an influential figure in history, we believe in the power of this discipline to enhance focus and execution in various disciplines.

If it worked for him, it can definitely work for you too!

Join us in our journey to sharpen the fundamentals and unleash your potential through Jeet Kune Do.

"Simplicity is the last step of art. A teacher is never a giver of truth - he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself."
