About
Our Jeet Kune Do/Kali is a direct lineage of Bruce Lee, who taught Dan Inosanto, who taught Paul Vunak, and who taught Greg Vecchi. Greg offers serious self-defense for those who do not have the time to spend years learning a particular system.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge with students and tailoring the program to their individual needs, attributes, and limitations.
