We are dedicated to teaching jeet kune do (JKD), the art and philosophy developed by Bruce Lee and Filipino martial arts (FMA), fighting methods devised in the Philippines. The most popular forms of which are known as Arnis, Eskrima and Kali.
Jeet Kune Do
This is the approach to combat that was founded and developed by the legendary martial artist,
Bruce Lee (1940-1973), during his lifetime. This scientific street-fighting art is designed to work in real situations involving empty-hand combat. It synthesizes combative principles,
training methods, techniques, and philosophies researched and complied by Lee during his lifetime with emphasis on the five ranges of attack: single direct attack (SDA), hand immobilization atack (HIA), attack by combination (ABC), progressive indirect attack (PIA), and attack by drawing (ABD).
Filipino Martial Arts
This is the term that we use for the various Filipino fighting arts of Kali, Escrima, and Arnis. The Filipino arts originate from the Philippine Islands and represent a diverse group of fighting systems that were developed as practical responses to situations faced by the people there, emphasizing on weapons, including sticks, knives, umbrellas, etc.
Our teaching method is to instruct students with the four key principles: fit, fun, functional and fast. Classes are usually one hour in length and consist of the following: warm up, stretching, training new techniques, review previously learned techniques, and light to medium drills and sparring.
Instruction is either one-on-one or in small groups, which is excellent for working professionals. Past clients include: designers, programmers, actors, athletes, students and lawyers.

After training at Elite JKD & FMA, Sean is an amazing coach! He's professional. He teaches techniques & strategies in Jeet Kune Do and Filipino Martial Arts. He sees your strengths and weaknesses. He's very positive even if you mess up. Plus he knows when to push you too. In the training session with Sean time flies by quickly with full action! I feel very comfortable and confident when training at Elite JKD & FMA with my Coach Sean.

Sean is a very knowledgeable and affable instructor. My background includes 5 years of Wing Chun and 2 years of Kali. And wanted to experience Jeet Kune Do, since Bruce Lee's base was from Wing Chun. Through my lessons, have grasped a better understanding of the 5 ways of attack; and how mobility and interception plays and important role in Jeet Kune Do. Highly Recommend.
