THE WAY OF
NO WAY.
Jeet Kune Do and Filipino Kali — taught the way Bruce Lee intended. Real skills, honest training, and a community that pushes you forward. Adults and kids classes in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.
ABSORB WHAT
IS USEFUL.
JKD Kali Abingdon is rooted in the philosophy of Jeet Kune Do — Bruce Lee's system of honest, direct, and adaptable martial arts. We combine JKD with Filipino Kali, one of the world's most complete weapons and empty-hand systems.
Based at Unit A3 Barton Mill in Abingdon, we offer structured classes for adults and children. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced martial artist, you'll find a training environment that challenges you to grow — without ego, without limits.
Jeet Kune Do
Bruce Lee's personal martial art — a direct, practical system that strips away what doesn't work and keeps what does.
Filipino Kali
One of the world's most respected weapons-based systems. Sticks, blades, and empty-hand flow from the same principles.
Adults Programme
Technical depth, real sparring, and progressive skill development for anyone 16 and over.
Kids JKD
Confidence, coordination, and character. A structured programme that builds genuine skills alongside life skills.
OUR CLASSES
JKD Adults
Jeet Kune Do for adults — covering striking, trapping, clinch, and the philosophical foundation Bruce Lee built. Classes integrate stand-up, close-range, and takedown defence into a complete system. All levels welcome.
Filipino Kali
Arnis / Eskrima / Kali — the national martial art of the Philippines. Taught by Nicholas Reece, the curriculum covers single stick, double stick, knife, and the empty-hand applications that flow naturally from weapon training.
Kids JKD
A structured programme for children that develops real martial arts skills — alongside focus, discipline, and confidence. Taught by Tom Wade, who leads the junior programme with patience, structure, and genuine care for development.
YOUR COACHES
My martial arts journey began with judo when I was eight years old. Inspired by my father, who was a black belt and instructor, and my two brothers who also trained. In my early teens I transitioned into boxing, developing a strong foundation in striking, footwork, and competitive spirit. As my skills in boxing advanced I couldn't help but feel a sense of restriction within my training. I wanted to learn how to kick and how to grapple. I later found my true calling in Jeet Kune Do, where I eventually earned my black belt. The concepts and philosophies of JKD have always resonated with me because of its emphasis on adaptability, freedom of expression, and the integration of multiple martial arts disciplines. Alongside JKD, I trained extensively in Kickboxing and Kali, further expanding my skill set. I have competed in Boxing, Kickboxing, and stick fighting, earning victories and valuable experience that shaped my approach as both a martial artist and coach. Today I coach Kickboxing and JKD/Kali, sharing the knowledge I have gained. My greatest passion lies in teaching — watching students develop confidence, overcome challenges, and realise their potential. Martial arts has given me a strong mindset and a clear drive in life, and I take great pride in helping others discover the same.
