Jun Fan Gung Fu Academy

It is indeed a rare and highly honored privilege to take this moment on behalf of myself and the Seattle Jun Fan™ Club to extend a warm welcome to the original friends and students of Bruce Lee™, each succeeding generation student and to Bruce's many fans who continue to discover inspiration and self-knowledge through the words, deeds and actions of our great leader, Bruce Lee™.

The Jun Fan Gung Fu club of Seattle™ was conceived by Bruce Lee™ and started during the year 1960. It was started as a school and was active through 1967 and closed during that year. Shortly after, it was re-activated as a private club and remained that way until 2005. For years the school operated as a private club whose members were instructed to not talk about it. We were not looking for new students and rarely were people allowed to watch. Students that were taken were screened for those with only the utmost dedication and seriousness.

The Jun Fan™ Gung Fu Institute opens its doors to all for the first time since Bruce Lee closed his schools to the public over 30 years ago. Jun Fan™ Club welcomes all people, of all skill levels, whether you are a beginner or an accomplished Martial Artist Gung Fu can benefit you greatly and complement any skills you have already acquired in other disciplines.

Jun Fan Gung Fu Academy

Seattle, Washington USA

Our school brings Sijo Bruce Lee’s original Seattle-era Jun Fan Gung Fu and Jeet Kune Do back to Seattle since 2001 when classes were held in the basement of the First Hill Shop Rite.

The Jun Fan Gung Fu Academy was co-founded by two of Taky Kimura’s directly-certified Senior Instructors, Abe Santos and Mike Hilow. Sigung Taky was Bruce Lee’s best friend and highest-ranked student and was one of only three people whom Bruce ever certified to instruct in Jun Fan Gung Fu / JKD.

The Jun Fan Gung Fu Academy operates separately and independently from the Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute of Seattle (“Institute”). Our core mission as a private, non-commercial school is to perpetuate and advance the legacy, teachings and art of Jun Fan Gung Fu from the Seattle-era as well as Jeet Kune Do (Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do) – as taught by Sijo Bruce directly to Sigung Taky – in the broader Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do community. We also plan to contribute back to Seattle’s International District community in the future. As a small non-profit school we strive to honor Sijo Bruce’s original wishes to Sigung Taky to “keep the numbers small but the quality high" in relation to the instruction of his Jun Fan Gung Fu and Jeet Kune Do (JFJKD).

We humbly acknowledge and respect our origins and will always remain connected to the Institute via our shared direct lineage from Sigung Taky Kimura to Sijo Bruce Lee.
