Instructor Tithira started his martial arts life in 1994 by practicing Gojukai Karate under the late Sensei Ajith Dammika Jayakodi at the age of nine, for two years. Then after a few years he started practicing Kung Fu and Jeet Kune Do in the form of which it was existent in Sri Lanka.
However, after a few years of hard training, he couldn’t apply these methods and he couldn’t face the streets. No wonder why young Tithira was attracted to previous classes, because of their magnificent high kicks, acrobatics, animal style techniques and so on. But after searching for the authentic Jeet Kune Do he found out that the existing way is far astray from the actual theories and methods of Jeet Kune Do; theories such as “Longest Weapon To The Nearest Target “, “Economy Of Motion” , “Fighting Ranges”, ” Orthodox and South paw stances”.
Instructor Tithira was a Sanshou instructor & was a national player. He has Wing Chun, BJJ, Karate, Tai Chi, Filipino martial Art experience in his arsenal.
Instructor Tithira is willing to guide anyone who is interested in the authentic way of Jeet Kune Do. As the head instructor of the School of Jeet Kune Do, he emphasizes “We do not do any fancy kicking, or acrobatics. We just express ourselves and uncover our true fighting spirit.
