It's rare these days to find authentic Jeet Kune Do - not just the name, but the method and mindset. In Boise, Idaho training with Sifu Chris Kent has been one of those rare opportunities.

I have been training and teaching JKD for many years. I even traveled the country for 6 years visiting 43 states and hundreds of schools. Out of all the JKD schools in the entire U.S., Chris Kent is by far the best and most knowledgeable JKD instructor I have ever met and trained with. His kindness, superb teaching ability and his long history behind Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do are second to none. Hats off to you my friend in your never-ending journey to keep the wonderful and amazing art and philosophy of JKD alive!

Highly recommend for anyone looking to begin training in martial arts. Chris is a phenomenal instructor and offers direction in not only the physical aspect of Jeet Kune Do but in Bruce Lee's philosophy and how it can be applied to various aspects of every day life. Great workout, great opportunity for personal development! :)
