History
Established in 1975.
Kirby began training in Tae Kwon Do at the age of 14. He earned his Black Belt in this art at the age of 19. He went on to study Tien Shan Pai Kung Fu and Jujitsu. Realizing the limitations of traditional martial arts and understanding the complexity of street fighting, he began searching for more practical self-defense training. This desire was created from first hand experiences on and off the street. When the opportunity presented itself to engage in several full contact rounds with an experienced Kali and JKD practitioner, his eyes were forever opened to the effectiveness and efficiency of Bruce Lee’s concepts. From that moment on he pursued his studies of JKD vigorously. His background includes: Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do, Thai boxing, Filipino Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Special Forces Defensive Tactics, Edged weapons, RBPP. His students range from Civilians to Military and Law enforcement.
