Looking for PFS JKD instructor in Southern California

bjjrookie · 07-16-2003, 01:05 PM

Sup,

I am looking for a JKD teacher in the Southern California area (909, 714). I would prefer to take privates or small group classes. Sunday classes are A+. I would like to train under a PFS teacher either Phase One or Full Instructor. I am new to JKD and plan on taking a IPTP course with Paul Vunak sometime this year. Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have looked at it, but I know there are a lot more instructors that aren't on the list yet. Also, all it says is the state the instructor is from, no contact info or anything.

Don't know if you found a school yet...if not I saw this place driving home from work one day. I stopped by and the instructor's intstructor learned from Dan Inosato, so it's like a 2nd Generation Inosato school....

Academy of World Martial Arts
Vista, CA

(760) 758-8500

That's San Diego's northern county, so I don't know if that's any near where you were looking. I ended up enrolling in the Kali & Silat classes, and I know they do the JKD Phase classes on other nights.

Hi Gunjin,

Thanks for the info, unfortunately SD is a little too far for me. I have not yet found a school to join but have contacted Tim Welch who is a Full Instructor under Vunak and he seems to be a cool instructor. I am thinking of checking his school out sometime next week. Anyways, thanks again for trying to help me out. Good luck on your Kali Silat class. Maphilindo Silat is a cool art, I bet you'll like it. Take care.

try ocjkd.com I know the PFSER that teaches that his name is Thomas. He is on the endorsement page for nolieblades and helps Voo with classes from time to time. He is badass. Can you that on here? lol

Hi,

I got Tim Welch's info off of ocjkd.com. Tim is closer to where I am. Also, Thomas's prices are out of my range. I think he's charging like $100 a month for once a week, they are semi private classes. Anyways, thanks for the look out. Take care.

Tim is good too. Enjoy

Not sure where you are looking, but try looking at Jerry Wetzel's school. www.centerlinegym.com I hear good things about him.

My friend Travis Downing is opening a new school in long beach. He is a qualified instructor in muay thai, JKD, Kali, BJJ and has studied combat submission wrestling under Erik Paulson. He is a wonderful instructor and along with Joey Pena heads the Sayoc Kali OC study group. You may contact him at travisdowning@earthlink.net
