gung fu
Sensei Marble began his martial arts training at the age of 13 in Missouri Jun Fan Gung Fu under the direction of Dr. Myron Harbottle. Dr. Harbottle trained under the direction of Sifu Ron Kealoha who was taught by Bruce Lee. Ron was also an expert in the art of Kempo Karate.
Our Kickboxing / Gung Fu Program teaches Jun Fan Gung Fu (The name given to Bruce Lee's Fighting Method when he first taught Gung Fu in Seattle), which is basically a Chinese style of kickboxing that includes nerve strikes and kicks below the waist, as well as the traditional targets. Our program provides an excellent form of self-defense utilizing hands and feet as weapons. Simplicity (do what is necessary to accomplish the task with the most efficient means possible) and directness (the shortest route to the target without any preparatory, or telegraphic, set-up movements) are key components to this style.
