From concept to kinetic reality! 🌟

Our JKD beginners are absolutely crushing it, embodying the principles of efficiency and directness through their developing body gesture.

It’s a beautiful thing to watch confidence grow with each coordinated movement. This isn't just fighting; it's a form of physical poetry. Inspired to write your own story?

✅Timing & Distance
✅Fluidity & Adaptability
✅Creative Problem Solving ✅Emotional Control (no ego!) ✅Spiritual Connection (harmony with a partner)

What's the most valuable lesson you've learned from partner drills? Share below! 👇

✨ 2025 marks 20 years since my first Jeet Kune Do Instructor promotion and recognition as a Second-Generation Student of Bruce Lee.

This journey has never been mine alone, it’s God’s grace and the strength of my family, teachers, friends, and most of all, my students.

To honour this milestone, we’re celebrating with three JKD Mega-Classes:

🔥 Adelaide – May 31 (a massive success thanks to Sifu Peter and Team!)
🔥 Melbourne – Sept 13 DON'T MISS OUT!
🔥 Bogotá, Colombia – Dec 11 (Venue TBC)

These aren’t just training sessions, they’re a tribute to the spirit of JKD and a call to inspire the next generation.

Let’s train, reflect, and grow together as one JKD Family. 🐉

I'm filled with gratitude and love for all my students who joined me at the 'Ricardo Vargas JKD Adventures Uncensored' last night! It warms my heart to see you embracing not just the physical aspects of Jeet Kune Do but also the spiritual and philosophical dimensions that guide us on this journey.

As your Sigung, my greatest joy is to see you grow and thrive, not just in martial arts but in life. I believe that our JKD approach is more than just physical training - it's a way of cultivating discipline, resilience, and compassion. It's about building strong relationships, supporting one another, and honouring the wisdom of those who have come before us.

I'm humbled to be part of your journey and grateful for the trust you've placed in me. My own journey has been blessed with incredible mentors, family, and friends who have supported me along the way, and I'm grateful to God for guiding me. I hope to pay it forward and help you achieve your goals and dreams, just as I've been fortunate enough to achieve mine.

Thank you for being an integral part of this journey. Let's continue to grow, learn, and support one another as we walk this path together! 🙏🏽☯️❤️

On the mat, JKD sparring is a moving meditation. It demands complete presence, no past, no future, only the flowing, ever-changing now.
In that state, you discover more than technique; you uncover your true nature. You learn to adapt, to be formless like water, and you express yourself honestly without the filters of fear or pride.
This is the real fight: the journey towards self-mastery and self-trascendence.

An Intimate Evening of Stories, Struggles & Shared Plates

 

Hey JKD Family!

You’re invited to a one-of-a-kind gathering, part storytelling, part inspiration, and 100% real talk, straight from the heart of Sigung Ricardo Vargas. With over 25 years of walking the path of Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do, he’s got tales that’ll make you laugh, reflect, and maybe even rethink your own journey.

-       Ever wondered what it takes to chase the truth in combat?

-       What happens when you meet Bruce Lee’s family… and Bruce Lee’s friends, and not-so-friendly folks along the way?

-       How do struggles, financial, political, even personal, shape a warrior’s spirit?

No filters. No sugarcoating. Just raw, unfiltered stories: the good, the bad, and the ugly. All shared with one purpose: to inspire YOUR growth in JKD.

The Ten JKD Commandments for Self-Defence

1. Avoidance is Victory

JKD is the art of fighting WITHOUT fighting.

The fight you win is the one you avoid.
Learn to identify dangerous locations, toxic group dynamics, and predatory behaviour before violence arises.
Trust your gut. Awareness is your first line of defence.
