BECOME YOUR OWN MARTIAL ARTIST WITH Jeet Kune Do

ADAPTING TO OPPONENTS IN FIERCE COMBAT

Our Jeet Kune Do classes build students up through reinforcing concepts and techniques that play to their unique styles and strengths.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WHAT IS Jeet Kune Do?

Jeet Kune Do (JKD) is a martial arts philosophy created by Bruce Lee that focuses on practicality, efficiency, and directness in fighting. Unlike traditional martial arts that stick to strict forms, JKD encourages flexibility and using the best techniques from different styles.

Jeet Kune Do emphasizes intercepting an opponent's moves with strikes and evasive actions, making it effective in both attack and defense. This approach makes JKD unique, as it values personal adaptability and real-world effectiveness over fixed techniques.

WHY SHOULD I LEARN Jeet Kune Do?

A Great System for Self-Defense

Our Jeet Kune Do program carries on the celebration one’s own unique expression through fighting by helping to build on one’s strengths and style. Consistent training empowers students through physical fitness—strength, speed, and coordination—mental resilience and quick decision-making.

Boosts Confidence and Physical Health

As our students progress, they gain self-confidence and personal empowerment as they learn effective self-defense techniques for real-life situations. Those who take part in our classes see a gradual increase in strength and coordination, allowing them to live a healthier life.

Transferrable Skills for Competition

Aside from being a great self-defense system, Jeet Kune Do’s versatility appeals to those wanting to explore different martial arts, offering a strong base for other combat sports like Sanda Kickboxing or MMA.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

  • I’ve had the pleasure of training here in Sanda, BJJ, and a bit of MMA. All of the coaches are helpful and positive people with tons of experience. There’s classes for everyone whether you want to just get a workout in or are looking for full contact competitions. I came with no martial arts training from a typical sport background and learned a ton here. Special shout out to Ty and Marco, but all coaches and teachers are terrific!

    – Andrew Camacho

  • I’ve been doing Sanda Kickboxing for four years and have since fought in a number of competitions as part of the Fight Team. The quality of the instruction and the community have made my time here the most positive martial arts experience I’ve had in my life. Ty Wesley is a phenomenal coach and I recommend his Sanda classes for anyone trying to get into kickboxing.

    – Chris S.

  • Both of my boys have been coming to EP Martial Arts for 5 months now. I love the variety of different arts taught (for one low price) and that there is a class 5/6 days a week to keep them busy. Each class not only teaches them different techniques but discipline and they do not let the kids goof off during class. EP Marital Arts was EXACTLY what I was looking for and would highly recommend them!

    – Tonya Gloria

  • Great school that’s closeby. Bart runs the Krav Maga and Sifu Ty teaches the SanShou, Wing Chun and kids Kung Fu. Great school to learn self defense and martial arts. If you're into competition they will support you and take you there. Very friendly people and school.

    – Stefan Fischer
