Where can I find Jeet Kun Do in Victoria BC?

Question

I've always wanted to take up a martial art, and have read up on it. I've decided on the above. Does anyone know where I can find a place to learn this style in Victoria British Columbia? Also, what are other types of Martial Arts that involve weapons training, sharp kicks and punches and a little bit of grappling? I was thinking on Jujutsu but too much grappling and pinning.

Answer 1

I don't know about JKD, but go to Peterec's Gym and talk to the Krav Maga instructor.  He cross-trains in Wing Chun which was Bruce Lee's original style.  I don't know if that's what you want.  

Victoria is generally c**p for staying current with things.  It comes from being on an island.  Other than that your best bet is either Vancouver or Seattle.

Answer 2

Try Muay Thai, devastating and realistic art. Muay Boran has the grappling element and weapons too, if you can find it

Answer 3

Ninpo is good for that. Kali is too. Jeet Kune Do is not what it used to be. The original Jun Fan style was superior. Jesse Glover in Seattle is the best. I have trained with Sensei Teruo Chinen, and several other instructors, but the best training I ever recieved was from a student of Jesse Glovers. One of the other students also taught me some jujutsu at the same time. Prior to that I had a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, but their training taught me things that were much more useful on the street.

Answer 4

Whoa! what are the odds that i would find someone else from Victoria on here!!! haha.

As far as i know there is no eral JKD place here.  You should come to Island MMA :)

ps.  You could try Aikido.  I know there is a gym here somewhere! (spelling might be wrong on aikido)
