Martial Arts Classes are something the whole family can do together.
The DōJō offers three very unique martial arts systems that can't be found in one place anywhere else, making it unique and important to the community.
Whilst Bruce Lee is known as a movie Icon, it is less well known that he changed the face of martial arts forever with his concept Jeet Kune Do, or Jeet Kune Do - Can Do Martial Arts is the only academy in Oxfordshire to teach Bruce Lee’s groundbreaking concepts on effective martial arts for the street, and better yet our coaches are qualified under Bruce Lee’s protege Dan Inosanto, and the ‘Godfather’ of Jeet Kune Do in Europe Guro Bob Breen.
So it’s not just about what you learn, but where you learn it, how you learn it and who you learn it from, that will really make a difference in your results and overall experience.
Martial Arts is something the whole family can do together. It's a powerful system for women and girls to learn to increase their self defence knowledge. Probably because I have 3 daughters, I feel it is our social responsibility to empower women locally and this is why we have provided free regular self-defence courses for over 2 years. We are now seeing more women winning competitions year on year as a result. This is just another way the DōJō has become a unique hub for everyone in the local community.
We have made sure that you can choose a martial art that best suits your own unique requirements and that's why we offer three amazing martial arts. Each are taught and practiced to the highest standards. So no matter your choice you will easily immerse yourself and produce amazing results. This is also a great way to get in shape, learn new values, and develop habits that will help you succeed at home and in the world around you.
When it comes to Jeet Kune Do, Bruce Lee’s visionary concept of martial arts, is rooted in the desire to create the most effective self defence for the street. It is also a vehicle for self-expression, allowing you to bring your personality to the forefront, and create what is uniquely your own approach, that works for you.
Bruce Lee was an incredible human being, he overcame language barriers, cultural differences, martial arts etiquette laws and racism to change the face of Martial Arts forever. In the process he wrote profound books on philosophy and became the first Asian movie star in the Western world with his smash hit “Enter The Dragon”.
The legacy he left behind is a colossal following of students who have turned away from the traditional forms and systems found around the world, and invested their study in to “The Way of The Intercepting Fist” better known as Jeet Kune Do, or Jeet Kune Do.
Jeet Kune Do is “the cool art”. Bruce Lee was as much at home training in his maroon cords and Asic Tigers, as he was in traditional chinese dress. His classes were open to anyone, and many Hollywood greats, and icons of the time wanted to train with Bruce and learn his way.
Among the many benefits of training in this is increased physical capabilities. Jeet Kune Do is famous for its focus on physical and mental attribute development, so if you’re fitter and stronger than your opponent, and you can adapt to their skills you will be able to overcome them!
Wouldn’t you like increased coordination, self belief and confidence whilst developing your fitness transforming your body and mind?
Jeet Kune Do like all the arts we teach at the DōJō has a very strong and supportive community and the people you train alongside will share in your goals and aspirations you have for yourself, they will encourage you and hold you accountable to turn up and achieve.
Our Jeet Kune Do classes are taught by qualified coaches directly from Bruce Lee’s lineage, I think that’s pretty cool! And this is very unique and ensures that only the best guidance is given to our students.
Jeet Kune Do is accessible to anyone, you don’t need to be a certain type of person or have anything other than a desire to learn. I know that being at our DōJō will only enrich your experience and increase your motivation to train in this art.
You’ll become part of the coolest martial art out there, built on the visionary legacy of Bruce Lee.
Jeet Kune Do is recognised for its focus on attribute development, ensuring you grow in both functional fitness and mental fortitude, better preparing you for the challenges life throws at you.
Jeet Kune Do is fun, and has an amazingly supportive community of like minded people enriching your experience at our unique DōJō.
Don't just listen to us - look at what our students say:
Valentina “my biggest struggle was thinking that I was never going to try something like TFW just because it seemed to be a worLd very far from myself...I guess the old “myself” now, But then obviously my excuses: I’ve got 2 kids, a job, house, homework, husband...where do I find the time to take care of my body, of my diet and my mind? I met new people and most of them are truly friends now, I’m more confident and got self esteem, I gave up smoking almost one year ago and simply because I could not sprinting as all my mates I wished I would have stopped before,I gained more muscle mass thanks to lifting weight constantly and changed most of my old eating habits.”
Sam “My training lacked was consistency. I was regularly going to the gym but had very little direction on what I wanted to accomplish or why I was going, other than attempting to keep ‘in shape’’. At Can Do Martial Arts, more than anywhere else I have trained, there has always been one eye that is kept on progression. The persistence in training, ability to overcome obstacles and having an adaptable approach to my training and learning, have been competencies which I have transposed over into both my personal and business life. These have proven to be valuable lessons and are evidence that the rewards gained through training have gone beyond my initial expectations. I like to understand what I do and why I do it and as such I like to ask questions. I like to train with people who feel the same way. Whenever I have asked questions of the CDMA team they have always provided an informed answer. There is a reason to the training other than just working hard and I have not seen this understanding in other organisations. ”
Darran “I was gaining weight really fast and I had no energy all the time. I was out of breath doing simple things I took for granted before. I was unhappy with the way I looked so comfort ate even more. I have lost 4 stone since I joined TFW. I have made a lot of good friends and have received valuable advice that was really practical and easy to follow. I feel much fitter much better. I have regained my self confidence I have loads of energy now. I know my coaches always have time for me if I needed to talk to them. TFW has a family feel where everyone is free to work at there own pace and is fully supported by the coaches and other members. It really motivates you to keep going even when you think you can't. You want to keep going as you are invested in everyone else's tourney as well as your own. It isn't a place for poser's doing curls in the mirror or gym heads doing stupid weights. It is a place for real change in the most positive way. It changes the way you think and feel as well as your health and wellbeing.”
