Our unique blend of the best Mixed Martial Arts punches, strikes, kicks, knees, elbows, locks, holds, throws, takedowns, and submissions, are taken from: Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, Submission Fighting, Jun Fan Gung Fu, The Filipino Fighting Arts and more. Our curriculum is comprised of a wide variety of Martial Arts Systems. By attending different sessions members may choose the area of training they wish to focus on.  These include Martial Conditioning, Ground Fighting, Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Western boxing, or The Filipino Fighting Arts. No matter what your goal, Personal Defense, Conditioning, or Fight Training, the choice is yours. This system is based on the principles taught within Jun Fan Gung Fu. The martial art of Bruce Lee, Jun Fan Gung Fu was the first Modern Mixed Martial Training System. Throughout his life Bruce Lee combined punching, striking, kicking, knees, elbows, throws, takedowns, trapping, and submissions to form his “Way”. He combined this with the philosophy of Jeet Kune Do.  The core understanding of this philosophy is best represented in his creed "Having no limitation as limitation", “Using no Way as Way”. As this applies to the martial arts, these two simple statements mean we should not limit ourselves to a singular art or system, nor should we limit ourselves to a specific doctrine or principle found within the art. Lee's teachings transformed the arts forever and brought to us MMA.
