Training

The curriculum practiced and taught at Vern Rochon Arts continues in form and spirit that which was practiced and taught by Sifu Jerry Poteet, just as he received it from the Founder: streamlined, no-frills effectiveness based on physics, anatomy and psychology -- disciplines that address the reality of combat much more reliably than does tradition, style, etc.

Where an element of Jeet Kune Do does bear a resemblance to a classical style, it's only because the style's technique has a lot of merit as a combat tactic.  If something works, it works.  Still, Sifu Poteet's Young Master usually found it necessary to modify or adapt established methods to make them even more efficient.

Each class consists entirely of material from the Jeet Kune Do curriculum.  Warm-up periods, fitness, stretching and other prep activity are very important and may be undertaken in class if requested but it is recommended that this activity takes place before class begins.

Minors

Students under the age of 18 are required to secure the authorization of a parent or legal guardian as a condition of enrollment.  Parents are cautioned to consider the combat-oriented nature of Jeet Kune Do before enrolling pre-adolescent students.  The recommended minimum age for enrollment is 13.
