Three decades ago Chuck Furtado started researching various martial arts styles. He was looking for a martial art that was practical and effective. He wanted to learn what worked. His research brought him to the tenets of Jeet Kune Do and the many encompassing styles that make up this diverse and ever-changing art.

Now, 30 years later, Chuck's due diligence in his research has made him an outstanding instructor. Chuck's technical expertise is ideal in a training environment - his attention to detail helps provide students with a solid foundation of learning. Coupled with his experience in the ring (both unarmed and armed -see accomplishments below), Chuck's experience runs the gamut of martial arts fighting styles.
