The Flying Dragon Martial Arts School was formed in Northampton in 1976 by my first Chinese Kung Fu teacher Master Lee Fee Lung ( Flying Dragon), who encouraged me to "find my own path" and look into other systems which was unusual for someone from such a traditional background. Master Lee had trained in many arts being well versed in Thai Boxing and Wing Chun.

Along with my then training partners Sifu John Mann and Sifu Richard Sloane I was to take over the school when Master Lee moved away to do "protection" work.

Unfortunately we went on our separate journeys. I continued my studies in JKD and many other systems that would include Wing Chun, Muay Thai, Kali, Savate, Aikido, Systema, Judo and Ju Jitsu.

With the introduction of Jeet Kune Do and the Filipino Martial Arts (around 1986) a small group of us were going all out and no longer "swimming on dry land" or "disecting the corpse", which is the norm for most NOW but back then it was a breath of fresh air. This changed my attitude to training and things started to progress rapidly. When in 1990 I first met Sifu Paul Vunak and realised that we were going in the right direction I changed the name to Intensive Training Group. I continued training the JKD Streetfighting under Sifu Paul up to Full Instructor in Jeet Kune Do Concepts and Filipino Martial Arts. His original PFS JKD is still taught at ITG. Also being an official certified Rapid Assault Tactics Instructor means that the RAT System is taught to all at ITG as quick to learn high level self protection capability is deemed essential as soon as possible.
Sifu Paul's innovation and input will continue to shape martial arts worldwide!

ITG JKD is a process of bringing Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do Concepts to life in each individual. I have been greatly influenced by JKD Instructors that have kept the original teachings and concepts of Bruces art alive such as Sifu's Lamar Davis, Tim Tackett, James De Mile, Jerry Poteet and Chris Kent. All these great teachers of JKD not only spread and perpetuate Bruce's art but have a working knowledge of all the techniques, concepts and training methods that Bruce used and taught in his lifetime!

Welcome to ITG.
