This is the place to go if you want to know real world application of techniques. Sifu Jaeger is an amazing teacher. He ensures that each student receives feedback during each class. Sifu Jaeger also pushes his students to train harder and motivates them to do so in class. The students are all very friendly and welcoming. For someone who is very introverted I feel comfortable with the school, Sifu Jaeger, and the students. Sifu Jaeger also doesn't just teach the student how do execute techniques. He teaches the how, why, and when each technique is used and how they can be put together during real world situations. If you are not attending this school you are definitely missing out. What are you waiting for?

I've been coming to MD JKD for nearly 3 years. It was important to me to find a place where I felt comfortable and safe with both the instructor and all the students while also avoiding "McDojos" and knowing I'm receiving instruction that could actually be useful to me in real life if anything actually happened and I needed to defend myself.

MD JKD ticked all those boxes. Everybody is friendly and encouraging. JB, the instructor, is always willing to answer questions and train with his students. I can definitely tell a difference in myself from when I first started to now and I'm much more confident about how I'd fare if I ever got into a fight-type of situation.

I can’t say enough about joining the self defense class and learning Jeet Kune Do. I have a looooong way to go, but JB and the rest of the team are just awesome and very patient. This is all very new to me but I like the fact that while patient, they don’t hold back either. I took a chance to do something out of my comfort zone and I’m so glad I did. If you have no clue what this is, just try it out and see for yourself!
