Unfortunately there are currently no Jeet Kune Do classes based directly within Stafford. However, if you’re willing to travel a little further afield, you can find JKD being taught in Wolverhampton which is just a quarter of an hour away from Stafford by train.

Darren Langston – Langston Martial Arts Academy
If you don’t mind travelling to Wolverhampton to train, you’ll find JKD classes on Monday evenings at the Langston Martial Arts Academy. JKD classes take place from 7pm till 9pm every Monday and are actually a combination of JKD and Kali (Eskrima) tuition. They also run classes in other martial arts styles including Karate Jutsu (the technical side of Karate, as opposed to Karate Do which would focus on the spiritual side). JKD private lessons are also available – ask for more details if interested.
