Progressive Combat Systems

"I enjoyed my time spent at progressive combat systems so much. In the short time I attended the Jeet Kune Do small group classes over the summer I learned a ton. Most importantly, there is a welcoming and safe environment with kind people and an attentive instructor. Brian is great at making everyone feel supported while still being challenged. The small size of the group classes mean that he is able to give every individual feedback to help them improve. Classes vary in the types of skills and drills that are done each time, allowing you to consistently improve fundamentals while learning new techniques. I absolutely recommend this class to anyone looking to learn practical mixed martial arts for self defense. The kettle bell class following JKD was a nice extension to my workout, providing access to weights, a plan for exercises and stretches to follow, as well as tips from Brian on weightlifting form. If you're interested in martials arts, whether you have experience or not, I would recommend checking out PCS."

"I have trained here for 1.5 years, Progressive Combat Systems is a fantastic place to train JKD. Brian is extremely attentive to his students and teaches very practical techniques for self defense. Whether your are a beginner, or a seasoned fighter, this is a great place to learn and train!"

"If you are looking for a truly effective self defense/fighting program, you've found it here! Brian is a great instructor with a wealth of knowledge and understanding. His knowledge well exceeds hand to hand combat and self defense. We frequently discuss mindset, joint mobility and mechanics, neuroscience, vision and eye movement (yes it's possible to improve your vison), physical training, and much more. Over the last couple of years I have gained so much knowledge and understanding in more than just the areas mentioned above. I have sincerely improved my overall being and am extremely grateful for the information I was able to obtain from Brian. Each day in class is different and you will continue to learn new things and improve upon existing skills. We cover virtually everything in class, gun disarms, knife fighting and defense, how to properly throw punches and kicks, intercepts, grappling, trapping, throws, just to name a few. The techniques and simple and effective, he teaches things that actually work! No frills or for show nonsense which have no practicality in the real world. It's not if this than that, black and white scenarios. You will learn to flow "be water my friend", you will learn what works best for you, develop your own style and preferences, build your confidence and improve your attitude, develop situational awareness, and you'll have fun! I would absolutely recommend attending at least one class. This isn't a macho meat head thing, there is something for everyone and will benefit anyone who is willing to give it a try. If you have any interest at all, give Brian a call, you will not regret it!"

"I have visited many schools in many places and very few are exceptional. I have only attended 2 classes at PCS and I'm hooked. Brian is a natural born teacher with a great sense of humor. He helps you feel welcome and comfortable from the get go. The class size is small and there is a lot of one on one attention. The students are friendly, helpful, and provide a lot of feedback. The price is very reasonable especially considering that the class duration is longer than that of average schools. There is no contract locking you in to payments. If you are interested in learning real situation self defense PCS is a great place!"

"Brian is an outstanding coach. He is able to tailor his teaching methods to meet the needs of each student and helps everyone develop their skills at their own pace. The gym is always clean and provides a friendly environment where everyone can safely train. The JKD class focuses on practical, realistic martial arts that will actually prepare you to protect yourself from violence. You learn how to keep your cool in a variety of situations including knife/gun assault, group attacks, etc. Training here has dramatically helped me to overcome my confrontation anxiety and given me new confidence and boldness."
