Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do is a devastating combination of speed, power and deception. There are no “Sport” aspects no "Set Patterns nor Forms". JKD is based on Simplicity, Economy of Motion and Intercepting Emotional Intent.

Bruce’s intense study of martial arts, and the passionate analysis of various modern training methods were for one purpose and one purpose only, and that was to make himself a better martial artist.

How I teach and what I teach:

Since Bruce Lee has passed on we can’t really know what JKD would look like if he were still around today. So what I do is look at the core curriculum of JKD and use it as a guide to find my own truth.

But I also feel that I shouldn’t add what goes against the basic principles of JKD and call it Jeet Kune Do. Remember that any architectural principle is based on a strong foundation. Let the core curriculum be your guide to the building of your foundation and let the house you build on top of it be your own. I feel that by sticking to Bruce Lee’s principles of combat while at the same time learning and developing my own JKD I will honor Bruce’s memory in a way that he would approve of.

I teach the core curriculum, not to confine us but to liberate us, and to discover our personal expression of Bruce’s art."

I had been studying JKD for the better part of twenty years when I was fortunate enough to have met and train with one of the world’s most incredible martial artists and teachers.
I watched as this man broke down every JKD technique to its finest minute detail and systematically improve all of the participant’s skills in all aspects of their JKD.
“ I thought I knew JKD till I met Tim Tackett.”

Since that day I have befriended Tim and I am very fortunate to hold the rank of Instructor under Tim Tackett, Bob Bremmer, & Jim Sewell. I teach all of the Wednesday Night Group material under their direct tutelage and authority.
