arts

Kirby
began
training
in
Tae
Kwon
Do
at
the
age
of
14.
He
earned
his
Black
Belt
in
this
art
at
the
age
of
19.
He
went
on
to
study
Tien
Shan
Pai
Kung
Fu
and
Jujitsu.
Realizing
the
limitations
of
traditional
martial
arts
and
understanding
the
complexity
of
street
fighting,
he
began
searching
for
more
practical
self-defense
training.
This
desire
was
created
from
violent
experiences
on
and
off
the
street.
When
the
opportunity
presented
itself
to
engage
in
several
full
contact
rounds
with
an
experienced
Kali
and
JKD
practitioner,
his
eyes
were
forever
opened
to
the
effectiveness
and
efficiency
of
Bruce
Lee’s
strategies.
From
that
moment
on
he
pursued
his
studies
of
JKD
vigorously.
This
pursuit
included
training
and
discussing
the
philosophy
of
JKD
with
original
students
of
Bruce
Lee
such
as
Ted
Wong,
Joe
Lewis
and
Dan
Inosanto.
Kirby’s
background
includes:

Lee’s
Jeet
Kune
Do,
Thai
boxing,
Filipino
Martial

He
has

Navy
Seals,
FBI,
DEA,
Border

Rangers,

and
most
of
all
he
enjoys
training
the
average

simply
looking
to
