1993 UFC # 1 Denver Colorado, my teacher, mentor and friend Paul Vunak had been chosen to be Helio Gracie’s bodyguard, not that he needed one, for the entrance into the very first UFC. Paul’s prediction was everyone will learn the ground game watching this event and that will force everyone to learn the standup game and that will require everyone to learn the clinch and trapping game, at that time the UFC was predicated upon comparing arts and styles and pitting these arts against each other. And the winner being Gracie Jiu-Jitsu changed the whole fighting world, now everyone wanted to learn how to grapple. So its an honour to be under my friend Sifu Paul Vunak for being at the right moment at the right time and helping me with my first Gracie Jiu-Jitsu lesson in 1999. Thank you

JEET KUNE DO & FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS
Jeet Kune Do (Jun Fan) is a training method, not a specific style of martial art. This unique training method was designed and developed by Si Gung Bruce Lee and Sifu Dan Inosanto.
Jeet Kune Do (Jun Fan) training at the JKD Academy is multi-faceted. Students will learn how to effectively box, kickbox, trap and use clinchwork. They will also learn takedowns, grappling, how to engage multiple assailants, as well as various training methods.
Over time, students will develop highly personalized set of skills in each of the four empty hand ranges of combat.
In addition to the Jun Fan / Jeet Kune Do training methods, students will also be introduced to vast array of Filipino Martial Arts training methods. These methods are collectively called, “The Inosanto Blend of Kali.” These additional training methods embellish the Jun Fan, empty hand, training methods.
The goal of the Jeet Kune Do / Filipino Martial Arts training methods is to teach the student to adapt in combat, in the training hall and hopefully in life.
