I am a 3rd generation Bruce Lee student and Full Instructor directly under Sifu Chris Kent. I still continue to train under and alongside Sifu Kent.
I teach Jeet Kune Do and the Filipino Kali from a combatives approach and street perspective. I am a 3rd generation Associate Instructor under world renowned Sifu Chris Kent in the late Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do (what is often referred to as the original mixed martial arts) and the Filipino Kali.
{Bruce Lee-- Dan Inosanto-- Chris Kent- -Joff Stone- -YOU!!! My history with martial arts goes back as
far as the YMCA karate class as a young child, wrestling as a teenager both freestyle and HS team, and boxing in the US Army with my platoon mates. My formal training in the martial arts really got started when I studied Tae Kwon Do at Idaho State University under Dr. Ron Leblanc, an old Marine Core Vietnam fighter pilot and boxer, where I received my Black Belt in the Chung Do Kwon Alliance. My career has taken me down a variety of public and personal protection venues from University Public Safety Officer to Bouncer in establishments in Tacoma, Seattle, and Boise both armed and unarmed. One of my bosses’ was a retired Green Beret who prided himself on getting us some of the roughest security details in certain night clubs in parts of North Tacoma and South Seattle! After moving back to Idaho, I found myself looking for more self-protection skills and had always been a fan of the late Bruce Lee and knew I wanted to study Jeet Kune Do and Kali after seeing Dan Inosanto in Black Belt magazines and so forth. I was fortunate to be in one Sifu Chris Kent’s first classes of Jeet Kune Do and Filipino Kali in Boise after he relocated from California under the urging of Linda Lee Caldwell, Bruce Lee’s Widow. I trained under Sifu Kent earning my Associate Instructor Certificate in JKD/Kali in Jan of 2005. I love to teach and am now offering instruction with my school ARMD-All Reality Martial Defenses. My base is Jeet Kune Do and Kali but I am also incorporating firearms retention skills. I have been a NRA basic pistol instructor. I draw also from firearm retention tactics learned when I was going to college and working as a Public Safety Officer. I am an ALICE instructor (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) and recently have been asked to teach Self-Protection classes at the Forward Movement Training Center and also serve as their Self-Protection H2H guy for the new Security/Executive Protection Academy they are running. I look forward to collaborating, teaching and sharing my knowledge with anyone willing to listen and who wants to become effective at defending themselves as well as their loved ones!
