Progressive Fighting Systems of Southern Oregon
ABOUT US
Southern Oregon Progressive Fighting Systems, we honor lineage. Lineage is the bond from which all of our understanding flows. Some have been on the Path longer than others, however, we are all students. We draw on the wisdom and knowledge of our lineage Masters and respect the varied interpretations its disciples bring.
Here we follow the curriculum established by Larry Hartsell, an original student of Bruce Lee as taught to John Doty and a handful of private students. We also follow the principles and material of the Inosanto Academy of Martial Arts.
Our school offers advanced study in the dissertation style of ‘JKD Graduate Work’ which is Progressive Fighting Systems. A system of combat developed by Paul Vunak and utilized by the United States Navy SEALS, DEA, Dept. of Home Land Security, and Special Forces Units throughout the World.
This a school honoring the lineage of Bruce Lee as passed down through his original students, Dan Inosanto and Larry Hartsell.
As well, we honor the lineage of Women and their contributions to Martial Arts. Here, a major component of what we do is Wing Chun, an Art formed by Women, for Women.
Southern Oregon Progressive Fighting Systems (SOPFS) would like the opportunity to share our unique and battle proven knowledge of self-defense with your organization. We are full instructors in Sifu Paul Vunak’s Progressive Fighting Systems (PFS) and Sifu Larry Hartsell’s Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do (JKD) Grappling Association, as well as many other martial modalities. Paul Vunak 's methods has been adopted by the SEALS, FBI, and CIA and a dozen police department SWAT teams. The U.S. Navy SEALS brought Paul in to teach them his unique system after an extensive worldwide search for the best hand-to-hand combat during the 80's.
We have a strong martial arts lineage beginning with Sigung Bruce Lee, Sifu Larry Hartsell, Guro Dan Inosanto, Sifu Paul Vunak, and our instructor, Sifu John T. Doty. Our system incorporates many practical fighting modalities to enhance the effectiveness of our art. We can design our training program to meet the level of training your organization desires. The program includes complete tactical hand to hand training, Rapid Assault Tactics (R.A.T and advanced R.A.T.) (worst case scenario), women/men’s basic self-defense (using the acronym Escape To Gain Safety), and defensive posture techniques (non-life threatening defense only).
Our instructors would team up with your current instructor, if applicable, to share our material for future training within your organization. We can also provide continued training when needed.
We look forward to hearing from you to answer any questions you may have and schedule a time to meet.
Thank you for your time,
Sifu Brian D, Sullivan
