Learn Chinatown Jeet Kune Do Step-by-Step!

This is a unique training program containing over 100 video modules (over 30 hours of lessons)

Our online lessons have been created to preserve the teachings of Bruce Lee with a focus on the "Los Angeles-era" of Jeet Kune Do as taught by Sifu Bob Bremer, Sifu Jim Sewell and Sifu Tim Tackett.

This program, which coincides with the 3 student ranks as set forth by the Chinatown JKD Association, means you will get access to authentic training under the standards and practices set forth by first-generation Bruce Lee students Bob Bremer & Jim Sewell, under the direct supervision of second-generation instructor Tim Tackett.

Starting with Level 1, you will receive a step-by-step lesson plan to help you build a proper foundation in Bruce Lee's Chinatown JKD.

Levels 2 and 3 builds on this knowledge and introduces you to a wide range of advanced techniques, strategies and training methods; all of which have been organized into a clearly defined, systematic curriculum. The more advanced lessons will introduce you to various levels of sparring, along with methods to correct and refine the skill-sets you’ve acquired in prior lessons.
