Introduction

We are a Manchester based gym in The UK, 2 minutes from the City Centre, dedicating ourselves to teaching the Art and Science of Jeet Kune Do Concepts as Taught to me by Bruce Lee Students  and passed down to us by Sifu Rick Young, Edinburgh, Scotland. Sifu Rick Faye Minnesota USA, and Sifu Larry Hartsell California, USA. Also Choshin Kai Karate  (Modified 1948 Shukokai Karate)  for practicle applied self defence.

Loose fitting clothing plus a tee shirt are all you need to start.

In the Beginning you will be taken through the Jun Fan Kick Boxing (Bruce Lee's Chinese Name was Lee Jun Fan) and. Thai Boxing this will give you a power base, and will improve your fitness, timing co-ordination, along with speed and reaction time,.

In the intermediate/Advanced Classes you will be introduced to the Jeet Kune Do Concepts (Mixed Martial Arts) that is the blending of the arts. Muay Thai. Kali. and Choshin Kai (Modified 1948 Shukokai Karate) The double hip delivery system for maximun impact in your techniques a must for practcle self defence.(Not Cage fighting or UFC).

You will be shown the usage of  Punches, Knees, Elbows and Kicks from the very first lesson. And an introduction to hitting pads from lesson 3.

The classes are conducted in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with a go at your own pace theme. Which means when you progress to the intermediate / Advanced group, a beginning student can still go at a slower and more relaxed pace than an intermediate or advanced person, who can go at the lesson with more intensity.

Expect a bit of humour in the lessons, we stay away from the no talk strict methods of traditional martial arts. We believe  you will progress more if you enjoy rather than endure the classes.

All Instructors are on a first name basis.
