I’ve never trained with a group that is so tough and focused, yet equally kind and encouraging. At first glance, it’s easy to think this martial arts system is complex and intimidating.  But once you begin to understand its core principles, you’ll see that it is actually the most simple, effective, and adaptable system out there.  


Sifu Steve is a tough, talented teacher who won’t let you slack off for even a minute, but also one of the kindest souls I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. The training can be tough at times, but it is extremely focused, and nothing is taught without purpose.  This school is the real deal.


Not only am I in better physical shape from this training, I’ve found that my way of thinking has become more flexible and adaptive as well.  Problem solving and creative thinking are skills that you don’t typically think about when preparing to train in martial arts, but you’ll come to find that you use them just as much as your hands and feet in these classes.  

Sifu Steve is an awesome martial arts instructor. His knowledge base is very deep so you will not get bored. I trained with him for two years and I feel like I only scratched the surface of what he has to offer.

I went to Sifu Steve because I wanted to improve my hand fighting ability on the football field. At the wide receiver position, if you want to beat press coverage consistently, you need to know how to win leverage. JKD and Kali were instrumental in my learning how to beat any man I lined up against.

What used to be a challenge for me is much less so now.
I also feel like I gained a lot of control over my emotions. Martial arts demand that you remain calm under pressure and I feel like I am much more balanced than I was prior to working with Sifu Steve.

I have seen improved confidence, better emotional balance, improved my skills on the football field, and gained a lot of valuable knowledge about the body which I use with my personal training clients.

I can’t thank him enough for all he did for me. Give Sifu Steve a little bit of your time and be consistent in your training, and you will reap the rewards.

I have certainly benefitted from JKD!

I started off too shy to say a word, even to admit I didn’t know the right way to make a fist. My confidence rose with my experience, and as everyone knows that spreads to all aspects of your life.

JKD isn’t about feeling dangerous or tough, it’s about believing that you’re worth being heard and seen and knowing that no one can stop you from doing it.
