Bruce Lee's Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do
Translated as "The way of the intercepting fist" - Jeet Kune Do is a hybrid martial arts system founded by Bruce Lee. JKD incorporates minimal movement with
maximum effect and extreme speed. The practical nature of JKD allows practitioners to employ different tools for different situations and include kicking,
punching, trapping and grappling. Training in JKD allows expression as an individual, maximizing ones natural attributes while developing new ones.
Originally termed Jun Fan Gung Fu (after Sifu Bruce's birth name - Lee Jun Fan) it was not meant to be a style as Sifu Bruce stated in his own words: "I have not invented a 'new style', composite, modified or otherwise that is set within distinct form as apart from "this" method or "that" method. On the contrary, I hope to free my followers from clinging to styles, patterns, or molds. Remember that Jeet Kune Do is merely a name used, a mirror in which to see "ourselves" ... Jeet Kune Do is not an organized institution that one can be a member of. Either you understand or you don't, and that is that."
Originally, the concepts included Western boxing, Wing Chun and Fencing but quickly evolved as Sifu Bruce was a renowned researcher and never set limits on his knowledge.
Sifu Bruce Lee authorized 3 individuals to teach his system - Sifu Dan Inosanto, Sifu James Lee, and Sifu Taky Kimura.
Sifu Dan Inosanto, the leading authority on JFJKD strongly believes that in order to find your own Jeet Kune Do, one needs to understand and learn the original Jun Fan principles that were taught to him by Sifu Bruce. These core principles and techniques are carried on and maintained by WCMAA.
WCMAA proudly carries the lineage of Sifu Dan Inosanto.

Filipino Martial Arts
Filipino Martial Arts refer to both ancient and modern fighting methods developed in the Philippines. The arts are known by several names including Kali,
Escrima, Silat or Arnis. FMA is considered one of the most comprehensive martial arts, and even though it is known for its various weapons, it also has highly
effective empty hand and grappling techniques. FMA provides the tools necessary for effective self defence and diffusion of confrontational situations as used in
several law enforcement agencies. Students also develop increased hand eye coordination and reflexes.
The highly sophisticated and comprehensive martial art from the Philippines is weapon based, but ultimately an empty hand system.
Our FMA classes encompass the teaching methodologies of Guro Dan Inosanto who is considered the world's leading authority on the Filipino Martial Arts. With training and knowledge from 26 primary sources, Guro Inosanto's system includes 12 areas that cover all aspects of hand to hand combat and weaponry including, but not limited to single stick, double stick, stick & dagger, double dagger, panatukan (Filipino boxing), Sikaran (Filipino kicking methods), Kuntao & Silat.
Because of its variety, the Inosanto FMA system is considered the most complete martial art in many circles and is highly effective for practical self defence.
Guro Inosanto's system is on full display in many Hollywood movies, most notably the Bourne Trilogy. The fight scenes were coordinated and choreographed by Guro Jeff Imada of the Inosanto Academy.
