We teach Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun. These are incredible self defense systems that can work for anyone and are effective for real world environments. We also take a pragmatic, but principled approach to their application. These arts are tools for your self defense. They are meant to serve you, instead of you serving them — and we keep it that way.
We don't have an exact date yet, but we're planning to open our doors for training in February 2026. Our 5 free video classes can give you a head start while you're waiting. February will be here before you know it so keep your eyes peeled.
Easy. For starters, you can check out our Facebook or Instagram or, if you prefer, feel free to call, text, or email us and we'll answer any questions you might have.
