TRADITIONAL PHILOSOPHY WITH MODERN, EFFECTIVE FIGHTING DISCIPLINES
At Ekata, we embrace the philosophy of the ancient traditions while offering students instruction in the most modern, effective fighting disciplines available. All martial arts offered here at Ekata stem from the philosophy researched and recommended by Bruce Lee. Our head instructors have been personally trained by Sijo Lee’s 1st generation students. We offer arts which specialize in different ranges of combat so that students develop a well-rounded skillset while safely and effectively conditioning the body.
The original structure of Jeet Kune Do was formed from the core of three arts: modified Wing Chun Gung Fu, Western Boxing and Western Fencing. One “fits in” with the circumstances of a given scenario.
Students learn to redirect energy and become comfortable at any range of combat. Jeet Kune Do’s physical structure is based on the individual’s ability to instantaneously and creatively respond to an external stimulus with simple, biomechanically efficient tools.

A sophisticated form of fencing with one’s hands and feet, Boxe Française Savate teaches precision, timing, and balance. The rank system, developed by the French Federation of Paris offers technical and combative rank. Savate is a game of physical chess where finesse and grace is emphasized over brute force. Ekata is one of the only facilities in the United States to offer training in this highly effective and unique art.
Most systems begin with open hand training before advancing to the use of weapons. A martial art from the Philippines, Escrima incorporates the use of weapons training from the start. Students learn the use of stick, staff and knife training to enhance hand and eye coordination.
Escrima is known as one of the most efficient and realistic weapons training styles in the world and is considered the choice training method for many elite Special Forces military units.
LEARN HOW TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF
Many people feel vulnerable and wish that they had a way to defend themselves if they end up in a dangerous situation.
Jeet Kune Do classes build strength, confidence, and agility while teaching basic but effective self-defense moves.
Studying martial arts can help you shake feelings of vulnerability and believe in your ability to ward off an attack.
FEEL GREAT ABOUT YOURSELF
It’s common for adults to struggle with self-esteem as they deal with competitive work environments and overloaded to-do lists.
Adults who study martial arts learn to search within themselves for their best qualities. They learn to self-motivate and not to worry what others think of them.
Adult Jeet Kune Do instruction encourages students to feel good about themselves as they master new techniques.

The knowledge and overall approach of teaching respect, mindfulness, discipline, and martial arts is unparalleled. If you have not visited the space, I recommend you do so... you will see for yourself.

Transformative. If I was limited to one word, this is the word that would best describe the impact Ekata had in my life. I have since moved to Texas, but the 4 years at Ekata created a solid foundation in movement and mindfulness that I had lacked. The dedication of Sifu Ed and staff have since stuck with me as I continue my martial arts journey. I may be 1500 miles away, but Ekata continues to follow me. Thank you Sifu. I miss you all.

I have been practicing meditation and JKD martial arts at Ekata for several years. The training I received from Ekata has improved my stamina both physical and mental. I found myself having less mind chatter and can stay focus at ease under stressful situation. I look forward to the meditation class in the morning to loosen up tension and negative fixation. The JKD class is a good workout and I learn how to protect myself and sharpen my cognitive function. Join us and give it a try!

I wanted to let some time pass before I wrote this review in regards to my experience at Ekata. I have had multiple memberships to various gyms in Santa Clarita. Never have I trained at a martial arts facility such as this one, and I'm beyond glad I signed up here! It's been a little over three months since I've been going here. As challenging as it has been for everyone through COVID, the owners Sifu Ed, Sifu JoAnn, along with their amazing and knowledgeable staff have put in strict protocols to keep the gym running smoothly as well as ensuring the health and well being of the members. Even with COVID, there are plenty of various martial arts classes still running. I'm sure they will add more to the schedule when everything normalizes. If you need any extra insight, they also offer personal training which has helped me grow and gain knowledge in conjunction with the classes which I have attended. The equipment in the weight area is wiped down with sanitizing wipes by the members after every use. Overall, the gym and it's classrooms are very well maintained in all regards. I have had nothing but positive vibes and receive amazing feedback from the owners, staff, and members on the martial arts we practice. Sifu Ed has stated that everyone here is a part of a community that helps one another and it sure felt like that from day one. Another amazing amenity that this gym offers is it's after-school, summer, and kids programs. I don't have any children but if I did, they would for sure be enrolled here. I have spoken with many of the parents that train here with their kids enrolled, and the programs they have for the kids help them grow and instill mindfulness to allow them to progress in various aspects of life. A close friend of mine holds his PhD in psychology and works with the school districts out here Santa Clarita. When he found out I was going here, he told me that Ekata and Sifu Ed does amazing work with our youth to help guide and train them with that practice of mindfulness. Jeet Kune Do is the major emphasis of most of the classes we learn here. It is a wonderful self-defense art that also incorporates many other forms of martial arts which are taught here as well. I highly recommend this training center to anyone who has any degree of curiosity in regards to the martial arts. Check it out. You'll be glad you did!
