Academy of Jeet Kune Do Sciences

I've studied martial arts on and off since the 80s and taught professionally years ago. I have never found a school I enjoyed as much as this one. Sifu Damon was knowledgeable and orchestrated a fantastic class. The atmosphere was friendly and the equipment top notch. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did. Highly recommended More...

I have always wanted to learn martial arts but I could never find the time. This school is awesome! It has multiple classes and hours available throughout the week and on Saturday. There are a variety of martial arts to learn, and the gym has a lot of equipment as well. I knew very little when I started and Sifu Damon Evans helps you fit right in at your skill level and helps you progress. More...

This school has it all! From equipment to variety in material, including regular seminars of various martial arts and artists from literally around the world. Sifu Damon Evans is certainly among the best in his practice, and is constantly learning/mastering material from various arts as a lifelong student of combat. Keep up the awesome work gentlemen!

Very real stuff is taught at this school. It's definitely not your "watered-down" type of martial arts. If you REALLY want to learn true martial arts, this is probably your best option as far as schools go. Many different styles/arts are available to learn. Classes will often leave you in a sweat an eager for more. More...

I've been training here for about 6 months now and loving it! I chose AJKDS over other schools in the area because of the focus on practicality. I personally have no interest in wearing a karate gi and practicing forms purely for the sake of tradition - I want to actually prepare myself for physical conflict, and I can't imagine a better teacher for that purpose than Sifu Damon Evans.Even though I've never been in a fight (and hopefully will keep that going for a long time), I'm finding that martial arts training is positively affecting my life in other ways, just by virtue of my increased awareness of my body, how it moves, and the space around me. I'm a musician and I'm finding myself feeling more graceful onstage and tripping over my feet less while I'm absorbed in the music.I would absolutely recommend this school to anyone looking to get practical training for self-defense, or even just to get more graceful in your body and awaken some of your masculine/yang energy (translation - have fun hitting things!), whether you're male or female. Come check it out and hit some stuff with us! More...

My youngest trains here and its giving her a great boost in self confidence and body awareness. Sifu Damon is great to work with and highly knowledgeable. I liked it so much I joined.

As a highly skilled instructor, Sifu Damon Evans custom tailors very comprehensive, very effective fighting styles that play to each student's individual strengths. Under his expert tutelage, you won't waste your time and money testing for belts or learning choreographed and entirely impractical forms that may look pretty but lack any real-life application. Irrespective of one's size, shape, age, gender, or current level of physical fitness, and regardless of one's overall knowledge, experience, and previous exposure to the martial arts, anyone could and would benefit from all that the JKD Academy has to offer. Whether you're training solely for self-defense or just looking for a great workout, I would wholeheartedly recommend that you stop by 224B Weller Street to see for yourself what everyone's talking about.

This place is the best. I've trained at this place on and off since 2004 and I love it. I have trained other arts and never found anything as exciting and complete as Jeet Kune Do. It is simple and effective in it's applications. The facility itself is excellent. It's clean and well organized for the various classes that take place in a given day. Sifu Damon will encourage, and push you to do/try things that you did not think possible. You will find yourself stronger and more confident in a matter of months or even weeks. They offer kids classes, Womens self defense, Jiu Jitsu, Jeet Kune Do, MMA, and more. There's a fitness class 3 times a week to whip you into shape and you'll most likely make some friends there that you can take with you outside of the gym. I cannot reccomend this place enough.

My son has trained here for 3+ years; now I'm training here myself, in both self-defense and cardio conditioning 3 days a week.  I've never felt better about a workout routine! This is a one-stop "gym" that gives so much more than fitness. The skills we are both learning here will serve us well for the rest of our lives! Thank you Sifu!! More...

Sifu Damon Evans is one of the best instructors I've worked with.  He knows how to make you feel comfortable while still pushing you to your limits if that makes sense.  AJKDS has been great for me AND my daughter while she was there.  There is something for everyone to learn due to the nature of Jeet Kune Do.  I have also been impressed with the quality of instructors he has for some of the more specific MMA classes(Wrestling,BJJ,Boxing).  Definitely the martial arts school to choose in the North Bay.   Whether you are here for self defense or competition fighting, they can help you gain skills and confidence.
