At Anguita Combative Academy, our philosophy is rooted in the dynamic principles of Jeet Kune Do (JKD)—a martial art founded by Bruce Lee that emphasizes adaptability, efficiency, and self-expression in combat.

Rather than adhering to rigid traditions, JKD is a philosophy of movement and combat, encouraging practitioners to absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is uniquely their own.

Core Principles We Follow

1. Efficiency – Every movement should have a purpose. We eliminate wasted motion, focusing on techniques that deliver maximum results with minimal effort.
2. Directness – We emphasize straightforward, effective techniques over flashy or unnecessary movements. In combat, simplicity wins.
3. Adaptability – Real-world situations are unpredictable. We train to flow like water, adjusting to any opponent, environment, or fighting style.
4. Continuous Growth – Martial arts is a lifelong journey. We believe in constant refinement, staying open to learning from all disciplines and experiences.
5. Respect for All Martial Arts – While our foundation is in JKD, we recognize the value in all martial arts. We train with an open mind, respecting the techniques and philosophies of different styles.
6. Mindset Over Techniques – Skills are important, but mindset determines success. We develop discipline, resilience, and the warrior spirit—both in training and in life.

At Anguita Combative Academy, we don’t just teach techniques—we cultivate strong, adaptable warriors who are prepared for both combat and life’s challenges.
