Combative Arts Academy first opened its doors in 1992. Our philosophy is to combine the best techniques of modern, scientific sports training with reality-based martial arts. Because of this more complete foundation, our students are able to achieve their highest fitness goals.

As our name would indicate, Combative Arts Academy specializes in martial arts instruction. The core of our curriculum is Jeet Kune Do. This discipline is a combination of modified Wing Chun Gung Fu, (the Southern Chinese Shaolin Gung Fu style geared for close range combat), and the Western arts of boxing and fencing.

Along with Jeet Kune Do, we also offer supplementary instruction in other combat disciplines known for their practicality.

The striking arts Muay Thai and Boxe Francaise Savate are known as two of the most efficient and devastating styles of kickboxing in existence. Additionally, ground fighting (Jiujitsu) is taught so that students can negotiate the "ground game".

Components of these arts are taught in the mixed martial art curriculum so that one can capture the essence of these arts but also learn what can be applied in self-defense settings where no rules apply.

Si Gung Bruce Lee believed that eastern philosophy was an integral part of Jeet Kune Do. To complement the combat oriented and physical nature of the aforementioned arts everything we practice is wrapped in a philosophy of harmony and peace allowing one to explore the philosophical roots of the eastern traditions, while still learning practical self-defense in a supportive, positive environment.

Every combative art is presented in its purest form in order to maintain the integrity of the style. When it comes to self-defense training, our belt system (Xuan Tong Gung Fu) maintains the root movements and philosophy of Jeet Kune Do, but adds techniques from Brazilian and Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Savate: all of which can be applied to street combat.

Overall, we believe in combining the best of Western science and conditioning with the best of practical martial arts. Only when a synergy between the body, mind and spirit has been reached can an individual achieve his or her personal goals.
