Modern Self Defense Center

I’ve been through 7 months of the Jeet Kune Do essentials program and the instructors are top notch; never a question they can’t answer! I chose the Jeet Kune Do essentials because it covers a wide variety of practical skills. The gym is full of friendly people who won’t fail to push you to do more. Everyone has been positive and has given the gym a ‘home-away-from-home” atmosphere. The gym is expanding all the time and is really becoming a playground for adults even though they have great kid’s programs. My experience has also been greatly enhanced by the special guests and additional trainings that are made available on a regular basis; like the awareness training given in the shopping mall! If you want to cover a wide variety of self defense practical basics, this is for you. John C
