Home

ARES mission is within it's name. Our focus is on educating those in the practical application of our research. This means that we use intellectual, philosophical, and physical methods of research to determine the techniques and approaches to martial arts that are the most practical for the most people. We then take our applied research and educate, so there is an understanding of the principal and not just a copy of the performance. ARES is for everyone of upstanding character with a desire to learn, apply, and protect themselves and all they have achieved.

About

Jun Fan\Jeet Kune Do - A hybrid martial arts system and life philosophy founded by world renowned martial artist Bruce Lee in 1967 with direct, non classical and straightforward movements. The system works on the use of different 'tools' for different situations. These situations are broken down into ranges (Kicking, Punching, Trapping and Grappling), with techniques flowing smoothly between them. It is referred to as a "style without style". Unlike more traditional martial arts, Jeet Kune Do is not fixed or patterned, and is a philosophy with guiding thoughts. It was named for the concept of interception, or attacking your opponent while he is about to attack. However the name Jeet Kune Do was often said by Bruce Lee to be just a name. He himself often referred to it as "The art of expressing the human body."
