I had several years of experience in martial arts before I went to this place. But after joining this class only I understood how little my understanding in self defense is. Sifu Tithira and instructor Prageeth have a great knowledge and a lot of experience in JKD and several other martial arts. Everything I learned here were very technical and Sifu Tithira gave a reason for everything. I can say that I got a great training and a wide understanding about self defense from School of Jeet Kune Do. I also experienced a great deal of attitude development after I joined here. If you want to learn true self defense, this is the best place in Sri Lanka.

Once you start you can’t stop! I started attending classes at The Shed in Ladies Self Defense, facilitated by instructors from School of JKD, once a week in January this year; and enjoyed every bit of it from day one. I still attend the same class, and have no plan on quitting any time soon. In fact, I have now upped the frequency to thrice a week. Am now at a point where I look forward to class so much, that I get very disappointed if I am unable to attend for any reason. I’ve started feeling different now– more confident and sure of myself, more energetic, and am experiencing increased levels of strength and stamina. Mind you, the effects are not just physical –higher levels of concentration and better control over emotions are effects as well.

The instructors are very very professional, patient and always full of energy. Willing to explain concepts and moves over and over should we not understand, and that too to each person individually should the need arise. I highly recommend this facility to anyone considering joining. Definitely rating 5 stars!

I had a brilliant opportunity to train with Tithi (thats what we call him) when he came to India for Shifu Harinder singh seminar in 2014. Tithi has profound knowledge and experience in the area of JKD and wing chun and at the same time, its a great martial artist at heart. He is humble and at the same, truely strong in the spirits of JKD. Equally jovial, Tithi is a great friend when it comes to helping me with my doubts in wing chun. I have learnt a lot from the experiences he has shared in all these years. I would say one thing – if you are in Sri Lanka, dont miss the chance to train with Tithi. Brilliance personified.

I began my training in Jeet Kune Do several years ago under the instruction of Sifu Tithira Perera.  Over time, he has helped me perfect my technique with a very patient approach.  He adapts his style of teaching to the aptitude of the student, from the beginner to the more advanced.  I have been impressed with the impact the Sri Lanka School of Jeet Kune Do has had on our community. In addition to serving the needs of JKD students in a group setting, the School of JKD has been involved in providing instruction to our military and special forces as well as free Women’s Self-Defense Seminars. Since my involvement with  Sifu Tithira, I have been blessed to be awarded instructorship positions in both the Escape to Gain Safety Program, the focus for the Women’s Self Defense Seminar, and the Rapid Assault Tactics Program, a program originally designed for the Navy SEAL’s.  Unlike many other JKD instructor’s, Sifu Tithira’s lineage traces directly back to Sijo Bruce Lee.  His passion for teaching has been apparent from our first meeting.  I strongly encourage anyone with an interest in the martial arts to explore Jeet Kune Do and the teachings of Tithira Perera.

Today I joined the seminar in Galle and I loved every minute of it!! My only regret is that I was late and so I missed some parts of the training. The three guys running the event are one of a kind! Very professional,great instruction given, friendly.They are very motivated and very good at what they do. You feel all the time you are in good hands.If i had to resume my experience today at the seminar in one word I would say it was EMPOWERING.Really really cool stuff we learnt .Wish you guys all the very best and keep doing the great work. Many blessings to you!

Thank you Tithira, Prageeth, Gihan

Traveling all the way from his mother country to another country to learn, empowering people by teaching them self-defense for free, managing “The Damini Project Sri Lanka” to fight against rape culture, spreading the art of JKD, Kali, Wing Chun and BJJ in his motherland by inviting international experts like Sifu Kirk Weicht. Only a highly dedicated and professional person can do this with highly passionate about helping others and bringing a change in the society. I am glad that I came across this wonderful person and was able to be a part of his journey. I met him while he traveled all the way to India to take part in the JKD Seminar by Sifu Harinder Singh Sabharwal to train with the expert himself. During his visit we trained together and I was highly impressed by his skills and attitude towards learning the art. Not only he possesses skills and a great ability to teach, He also carries a wonderful heart and soul which makes him a complete warrior. I will highly recommend Tithira for anyone, who wants to change their life by learning Martial Arts and Fitness. I can ensure you that he will be your brother, teacher and mentor who will bring out your true potential.

At school of Jeet Kune Do we don’t just learn self defence we learn humanity and we learn to spread love through martial arts.. after every training session when we step out of the school we find our mind at peace.

Yesterday we were practicing about how to use grappling effectively in a street fight. Learnt some tips & tricks in grappling and it was one of an awesome days in my practicing history. Most importantly we practiced friendly and in-depth. I personally recommend you also to just visit and feel the difference. And wish School of JKD, wish you all the very best for putting a true effort to make a difference rather than being traditional.

It’s us who should be thanking you and most grateful for your invaluable expertise to teach the ladies the art of self defence! The kind sentiments expressed can only inspire us to do more good and again your impressive initiative is an admirable value addition. Our officials was very appreciative too and spoke highly of your effort.May all of you continue to be blessed in abundance.

A very big thank you for conducting an excellent session. We all learnt a lot and and certainly felt empowered. Once again great job and keep up the good work you three do to protect the women and children of Sri Lanka. Hope many corporates will be encouraged to conduct such sessions which will benefit their valued female staff.
