Jeet Kune Do/Jun Fan Gung Fu
Jeet Kune Do/Jun Fan Gung Fu is the training methods and techniques originally developed by Bruce Lee. Jeet Kune Do incorporates kicking, punching, trapping hands, and joint locking/grappling.

Bruce Lee researched and experimented with methods from many systems of martial arts, using the essence of these arts in their given ranges. The methods had to be practical and economical, with no wasted motion. Some of the arts he drew from are: Wing Chun kung fu, boxing, fencing, Savate, Tai Chi Chuan and Jujitsu.

We teach Bruce Lee's original curriculum and training methods from 1964-1973, as passed down to us from Sifu Dan Inosanto, heir to Jeet Kune Do and the only person ever given 3rd rank (instructor level) in Jeet Kune Do personally by Bruce Lee. We are the only school in Arkansas certified to teach Jeet Kune Do by Sifu Inosanto.

KALI
Kali is one of the most highly efficient and sophisticated weapons and empty-hands systems in the world. Unlike most martial art systems, both weaponry and empty hands are taught together because the principles are common to both and are inter-changeable.

Armed or unarmed, the student learns to relate to all situations using the same concepts of body angling, positioning and flowing. Known mainly for its use of weapons, kali develops attributes such as speed, agility, timing, body mechanics, and left and right side neuromuscular coordination.

We teach the Inosanto method of Filipino Kali. Guro Dan Inosanto has developed this method based on his many years of study with over 25 different Filipino masters in Kali/Eskrima.

MUAY THAI - THAI BOXING
Muay Thai, also called Thai Boxing, is the national martial art of Thailand. Many people think of Thai Boxing as only a kickboxing ring sport, but it is much more. Besides proving itself as the toughest ring sport through its use of kicks, punches, elbows, knees and standing grappling, Thai boxing is excellent for street self-defense. For this reason, Muay Thai is sometimes called the science of the eight limbs. It is also known for having the strongest kick in the martial arts.

The training itself is a great workout and develops physical and mental conditioning, toughness and a "keep-going" attitude.

Marc McFann is certified by Ajarn Chai Sirisute, founder of the Thai Boxing Association of the USA. Ajarn Chai is the first-ever Thai boxing instructor to teach Americans this art.

Whether your goal is to compete, to gain some practical self-defense skills, to become an instructor in Muay Thai, or just to become fit, we can help you to reach your goals.

JKD GRAPPLING
JKD Grappling is a combination of standing grappling and ground fighting methods found in many different arts. Our main training method is submission grappling. Judo, Jujitsu and Wrestling make up a significant part of our JKD Grappling but it also contains many other approaches.

Some of these systems include Dumog, as taught by Guro Dan Inosanto, Brazilian Jujitsu, as taught by the Machado Brothers, Mande Muda Silat, as taught by Pendekar Herman Suwanda, and Shooto, as taught by Sensei Erik Paulson. It also contains elements from Thai Boxing, Hapkido and Kempo.

Sifu Larry Hartsell, student of Bruce Lee and longtime student and friend of Sifu Dan Inosanto, was blending various grappling systems with boxing, Thai boxing, Jeet Kune Do, Kali, Silat and other arts long before grappling was enjoying its new-found popularity of recent years. Sifu Larry Hartsell is considered the number-one pioneer of JKD Grappling.
