WELCOME TO DRAGON MARTIAL ARTS
UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL THROUGH MARTIAL MOVEMENT
ABOUT JKD
Jeet Kune Do (JKD) is a martial art philosophy and fighting style developed by the legendary Bruce Lee in the 1960s. It emphasizes practicality, efficiency, and directness in combat, advocating for the use of techniques that are most effective for the situation rather than adhering to rigid traditional forms.
Bruce Lee's vision was to create a martial art that is fluid, adaptable, dynamic, and fits your philosophy of self-expression and personal growth.
WHY JEET KUNE DO?
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.”
-BRUCE LEE
LINEAGE
We at Dragon Martial Arts have directly inherited the legacy of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do from his student, Sifu Jerry Poteet, who passed it along to our mentor, Sifu Joel Ledlow. This lineage ensures we teach the authentic and fluid form of Jeet Kune Do.
OUR MARTIAL LINEAGE
JERRY POTEET
Jerry Poteet was the second student personally chosen by Bruce Lee to train at the Chinatown Los Angeles School and is one of the elite few that Bruce handpicked to train privately at his house twice a week during the “Chinatown Era” in the 1960’s. He continued training and teaching until his passing in 2012.
SIFU JOEL LEDLOW
Joel Ledlow has over 35 years of experience in movement. He is a 5th-degree black belt in Duo Ji Kung Fu under Ed Monaghan. He is also a full instructor in Jeet Kune Do under Jerry Poteet, who trained with Bruce Lee in Los Angeles.

ABOUT US
Steven first trained in White Crane Kung Fu for two years, which led to him training in Jeet Kune Do under Sifu Ledlow's Oklahoma City school in 2013.
Nicholas has trained in Wrestling and Taekwondo since he was a little kid. He began training Jeet Kune Do in 2012 and used to run a JKD school until covid hit.
Steven met Nicholas in 2016 in Atlanta, and have been training partners ever since. They opened up Dragon with the mission to teach self-defense to people who are hungry to unleash their potential in every area in their lives through discipline and hard work. And they love JKD, too.
