I started to learn JKD after getting my ass kicked by a Karate Brown Belt. 

At the time I had been training Ninjutsu for a decade and asked a guest Karate student if he'd like to work on some sparring type drills. 

Well, he proceeded to slap me all over the dojo. It was then that I became interested in functional martial arts. 

A trip to my local bookstore led me to the last copy of Bruce Lees "Tao of Jeet Kune Do". 

That was it. 

I was and have been a student of Jeet Kune Do since that day. 


My actual battered copy of the Tao


That book opened my eyes to the "classical mess" and defined my path as a martial artist. 

Lucky for me I found an instructor in the local area called Anton St James who also practised JKD. He took me under his wing and taught me all my fundamental JKD skills, along with Muay Thai & Filipino Martial Arts. 

After a decade of training under Anton St James, I travelled to London under the pretence of getting a degree in Sports Science.

 

The real reason I went to London was to train at Bob Breens Academy. 

Bob as everyone knows if the godfather of JKD in Europe. He was the first person to invite Guro Dan Inosanto over to teach in the UK and he was one of the first full instructors under Guro Inosanto in Europe. 

I spent five happy years training at Bob's academy in Hoxton, studying JKD with this true master of martial arts. He also invited many instructors from around the world to teach seminars and private lessons at his school.

It was through Bob that I met and trained with amazing instructors like Dan Inosanto, Rick Faye, Erik Paulson, Marc McFann, Rick Young and Phil Norman.

JKD as it was developed by Bruce Lee was a product of its times 

The focus was on simple and effective self defence skills and defeating other Martial Artists (which were primarily Karate & Kung Fu practitioners back then)


But times have changed


The core self defence skills still apply, but Martial Arts have progressed significantly since Bruce's time and Modern JKD needs to reflect this evolution  

The Modern JKD Syllabus includes....


  • Fundamental striking (using boxing mechanics as the primary delivery vehicle)
  • Self defence kicking (taken from Jun Fan Gung Fu)
  • Dirty Boxing, striking in & dominating the clinch (taken from MMA)
  • Throws, tackles & takedowns (taken from wrestling)
  • Ground & pound & submissions (taken from MMA & BJJ)


I've intentionally included material from modern systems like MMA & BJJ to reflect the evolution of Martial Arts over the last 20 years.

My previous course "JKD For Combat Sports" was primarily focused on sporting applications of JKD principles in the ring or cage


This syllabus is 100% focused on self defence and street fighting applications. 

Every technique included in this syllabus had to answer the following question... 


"Would it work for most people in a self defence scenario, regardless of their strength, age or athletic ability"


The Modern JKD Syllabus Includes... 

  • A fully editable curriculum in Word and PDF formats that you can personalise and make your own.
  • Detailed instruction manuals explaining JKD principles and how they apply to self defence situations
  • Over 100 technical instruction videos showing the syllabus in detail
  • Never seen before BONUS content from other JKD coaches I respect 


If you are a student or instructor interested in JKD or Self Defence I know you will love it.
