HOW WE COACH

You’ll Be Guided Every Step of the Way

You don’t need to arrive knowing what you’re doing. That’s what the coaching is for.

During semi-private lessons, we practice with bags, pads, partners, and progressive drills. I’ll watch what you’re doing, explain the details, and help you work through the parts that aren’t clicking yet.

  • Personalized guidanceAsk questions, try it again, and get feedback on what to adjust.
  • A familiar training teamGet comfortable with the same teammates as you practice and help one another.
  • A clear next stepUnderstand what to keep working on as you build your skills.

MEET YOUR COACH

Hi, I’m Coach Forrest.

I built Austin Impact JKD to give adults a place where they can keep improving—and enjoy the process enough to stick with it.

One question guides how I coach:

“What helps someone continue making progress?”

That means giving you a clear path, paying attention to what you need, and bringing together a small team that supports one another.

My goal is to help you become a lifelong martial artist: someone who enjoys training, keeps exploring, and looks forward to coming back each week.

MEET COACH FORREST

Helping you become a lifelong martial artist.

“A coach does more than demonstrate a technique. Coaching means observing, adapting, explaining, and helping students work through the things that get in the way of progress.”

At Austin Impact JKD, that means building a clear learning experience while leaving room for your questions, interests, and individual expression.

WHAT IS JEET KUNE DO?

A living approach to martial arts.

Jeet Kune Do is the martial art developed by Bruce Lee. At Austin Impact JKD, we take a progressive, principle-centered approach: our understanding of effective fighting should keep developing.

Different JKD schools emphasize different parts of that legacy. Our focus is on sound foundations, practical training, and helping each student develop an approach that fits them.

Explore the three complementary aspects of our approach below.

THE ART WE PRACTICE

Three Aspects of Jeet Kune Do

Scientific Fighting

Build the foundations shared by effective martial arts: distance, timing, balance, footwork, positioning, and efficient mechanics.

Bareknuckle Fencing

Explore distinctive JKD tactics, including interception, broken rhythm, drawing attacks, and fencing-inspired movement as your foundations develop.

Personal Expression

Use drills as a place to explore what fits your body, attributes, and interests. This begins early and continues throughout training.

These aspects overlap throughout your development. They are not three sequential stages.
