Welcome to CombativeArtsAcademy.com
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.

Sifu Jerry Poteet, original student of Bruce Lee, teaches seminars regularly for our students. Head Instructor Sifu Ed Monaghan and Instructor Sifu JoAnn Wabisca are second-generation teachers certified in Jeet Kune Do under Sifu Poteet.

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 classes 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. French and Thai champions teach these classes so that our students can learn from true masters of the art.

For those looking to learn ground fighting and grappling, Combative Arts Academy suggests Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Our classes are taught by Brazilian Champion, and Machado Brothers instructor, Fabio Vinelli.

To complement the combat oriented and physical nature of the aforementioned arts, classes in Qi Gong are also offered. Classes focus on building the breath and internal energy, "qi". These classes promote healing, flexibility, and provide Yin balance to the Yang of combat styles.

Every combative art is presented in its purest form in order to maintain the integrity of each individual style. When it comes to self-defense training, our belt system (Duo Ji Gung Fu) maintains the root movements and philosophy of Jeet Kune Do, but adds techniques from Brazilian and Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Eskrima, 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.
