This review is for the JKD / Kali classes at PSDTA. Simply put, this is THE place to train for JKD (jeet kune do) and Inosanto Kali. Not. Even. Close. Sifu Brenda King is extremely knowledgeable and is a senior full instructor in both arts under Progressive Fighting Systems (PFS), among her other impressive credentials. It's not just her mad skills and succinct yet clear explanation on techniques that draw you in, however; this woman has serious heart! You can feel her passion for the martial arts along with her desire to get her students to level up and keep learning. I'm quite impressed by her commitment to cross-training to the point of bringing in other instructors for seminars. Furthermore, with her it's not about ego (and having previously trained under another JKD instructor who was all about ego, that was such a refreshing and welcome change!) - she demos on all her students and spars with her students. She is truly "seeking the path" of continuous improvement and growth in the martial arts. With regards to the training environment, it is very welcoming and supportive. Her open-mindedness and emphasis in training safely are manifested by her students as well. It's all about helping your training partners learn and upping your own skills in the process. Classes are about 1.5 hours long but it almost always feels much shorter than that; I've been able to get a good workout each and every time I've stepped on the mat. I strongly encourage anyone remotely interested in learning JKD and Kali to stop by and try out a class! I couldn't wait to sign up after my first one.
