Southeast Jeet Kune Do

Specialties

The Southeast Jeet Kune Do Athletic Club is dedicated to providing hands-​on quality instruction for martial arts and self defense for our students. Our coaches and our students achieve their skills through hard work, discipline and perseverance. We operate on simple values, such as respect, honor, loyalty, positivity, compassion, modesty and integrity.

We offer a strong focus on personal and physical development, teaching the science & concepts behind Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Martial Arts, Savate, Jujitsu, and Tai Chi. We are the only martial arts school in the CSRA teaching programs that are trusted by the Navy SEALS, FBI, CIA, DOD, and many other government agencies. We look forward to working with you to ensure you have what you need to develop a strong body, a healthy mindset, and self defense skills that can help keep you and your family safe in the event of a violent encounter.

We also have children’s classes that optimize their motor skills, coordination, balance, core strength and endurance. The kids curriculum has been adapted from Jeet Kune Do, Boxing, Kickboxing, Hapkido and Jujitsu.

History

Established in 2010.

The Southeast JKD Athletic Club (originally known as Superior Self Defense Academy) offered students training in a variety of self defense systems, as well as Bruce Lee’s fighting method called Jeet Kune Do.

As of late 2015, Superior Academy was bought out by Sifu Kyle McGahee, who has part of the school since its inception. The Southeast JKD Athletic Club has officially been renamed to reflect our current status as the operating chapter of the Jeet Kune Do Athletic Association for the greater Augusta, GA area. We are dedicated to spreading Martial Arts, Functional Fitness, and the overall martial lifestyle to all of our students.

The mission of the Jeet Kune Do Athletic Association is to «preserve and perpetuate the Jeet Kune Do way of life.» As the operating chapter of JKD Athletics, Southeast JKD is also dedicated to that mission. By providing world-​class instruction, we offer our students the ability to train their bodies as we as their minds.
