Jeet Kune Do
JKD was created by Bruce Lee to be a simple, effective and effecient form of un-armed combat for real self defense. It contains elements from martial arts such as Wing Chun Gung Fu, Western Boxing, and Fencing. Other principles and influences are also in JKD, but those are the main sources that the core of JKD was formed from.

One important note is that Bruce didn't just take techniques from these other arts, mish mash them together, and go. He had a vision in mind, and took these elements, principles and modified techniques and changed them to fit this vision. He had a core to his art, and molded these to fit it. If it wouldn't fit in with his guiding principles - he didn't absorb it.
He did indeed create something "new" in the methodologies of JKD. The techniques may look similar, but it is the principles, usage and modifications to fit his core that created the new aspects of JKD. You may recognize a boxing technique, or some fencing footwork or elements of Wing Chun - but if you understand those arts, you would see a difference in how they are executed, the principles that guide them, and their usage.
That isn't to say the way we do it is "better" - we simply have different goals and purposes.



The Academy
We focus on keeping the classes small, quality high, and haveing a fun, inviting atmosphere. We still "get down to business" in our training, but it is without egos, without training ON each other, but WITH each other. "Please leave your egos at the door".

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is ground fighting, put simply. The practitioner uses his entire body to lock down his opponent in a weaker position, then looks to expose a weakness to deliver a joint lock or choke hold to force the opponent to submit via "tapout". We train with BJJ Gis and are sport oriented for competition. A BJJ gi is required. This is a small club that is a satellite location for Ruffhouse Training Center in Columbus Ohio, a BJJ Revolution Team Competition school.
