I was blessed to be introduced to the art of Jeet Kune Do at an early age. Me and brother were enrolled in the "Little Dragons" class at the original FMA (Filipino Martial arts) academy. Our instructor was Jeff Imada (Balisong Manual and 2nd unit director for the Bourne Identity) movies.
JKD is a very difficult art for an 8 year old. So after one year of training my father George Foon Jr. (Publisher of Dan Inosanto's first books and art director of Inside Kung fu) enrolled me into Shotokan Karate (Ju-Kara) with Emil Farkas (Sensei to the Stars) and Douglas Wong (Grandmaster White Lotus System). It was a fantastic time! Learning discipline, sportsmanship and flexibility.
In college returned to JKD/Kali and Shootwrestling with Tsuyoshi Abe and the Cal State LA JKD Club. Studied for 5 years till the end, while enhancing my arsenal with doses of Lameco Escrima (Edgar Silute), Boxing (Weaver Brothers), Muay Thai (Vut Kanmark) & Boxer Rebellion (Mark Stewart).
Last, 8 years have been spent at the South Bay Jeet Kune Do Academy (David Cheng), where earned my teaching certification. What enjoy, is that JKD/Kali, encourages the practitioner to train in other arts, experiencing and developing the essence of the art.
Currently, my passion is teaching JKD/Kali and studying Brazillian Jujitsu (BJJ with Chris White) and Capoeira (Andrew Zapata, RawTricks).

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.

Sifu Sean is the man! If you're interested in learning practical and an extremely interesting combination of martial arts, Elite JKD is for you. Boxing, JKD and Kali are an awesome combination and I get a great work out with amazing self defense and martial arts teaching.

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.
