Learning JKD with Yuri is great; he is very knowledgeable in his technique and does well to ensure that we train properly and execute the moves in good order. The classes are fun - definitely a proper workout! JKD covers all aspects of fighting in various scenarios, CM boxing while standing, Jiu Jitsu while on the ground, weapons training (I'm not there yet but looking forward to it) and lots more. I'm about eight classes in and have been enjoying every moment of it. So, whether you're looking to get a proper workout while learning some self defense or looking to transform yourself into a lean mean fighting machine; don't even consider, just come to JKD Indonesia learn with Master Yuri in Kemang!!

Oh I wanted to add - JKD is actually stuff you can use in a real fight.

"I met Yuri from my Cousin and from the beginning I told Yuri that I want tolearn how to box before learning MMA. This was end of November and I started training rightaway till end of December before I left to the US for exchage students program. Yuri taught me basic Crazy Monkey Boxing, I remembered it was 10 sessions. When I was in the US, I was challenged by a kid who has been boxing since 7 years old. He could kickbox well. He challenged me into sparring with kickboxing. He kicked my ass. Then I told him, that I haven't learned how to kick, but I challenged him to a boxing match. I knocked him down 4 times with broken nose. I was surpised that the CM that Yuri taught did very well. He and his friends were impressed and asked me to teach them about CM boxing. Thanks Yuri."

"Opinion from a MMA fan: I believe that you are the most technical fighter in the tournament. You seem to have many ways and submissions arsenals to finish your opponents from many different positions."

"There were many moves that I learned from Yuri. He not only explain the techniques, but also teached me the training methods to make those techniques becoming my automatic reactions. He also used very simple languages and analogies that are very easy to understand. He knows how to help me owning the techniques that I learned using his sparring methods called performance games. I would like to thank Yuri for all of his sincere efforts in teaching me Brazilian Jiujitsu."

Considering my ten years of experience in martial arts, I feel the last 12 months training with Yuri have been the most productive. I am so much more confident in my abilities in all ranges of fighting. Yuri is great at explaining the body mechanics so that the techiniques can be learned more quickly and he uses excellent drills with resistance so his students can experience, understand, and perform the techniques under pressure; whether it's a competitive environment or real-life self-defense.

"Yuri's knowledge of techniques is very detailed. I had the honor of sparring with him and know that he is highly skilled and tough. Besides being a good fighter, Yuri is also a great teacher as he has the rare ability to transfer knowledge in a digestible manner. Like any good teacher, Yuri is always humble enough to learn from others and continues to improve his game. I believe JKD is well represented in East Asia by JKD indonesia under Yuri."

Hi brother, this is Ahmed (kingdom of Saudi Arabia)...
Well, here is my testmoney (spilling):
"It's always been very good and useful for me to train with many different martial artists from different places, diffe-rent ways, differnt philosophies ,different methodes, opi-nions and styles. Recently in August 2006 I had training with Yuri, Jakarta. I learned some good stuff regarding the clinch , ground survival and some crazy monky techniques. Yuri is a proffesional instructor. He doesn't leave so-mething unclear and he always repeates the things that he explaines then tests you to make sure that you got the info right.To me ,the most important thing about a teacher is his/her honesty because an honest teacher will do his/her best to give you the true information without holding something back. Before I wanted to leave Indonesia ,Yuri insisted that I must complete the training lessons successfully because I've already paid for it.He is realy honest and good at what he does."

Yuri is a true JKD practitioner, a lifetime student of martial art. He keeps open minded and humble to learn from anybody. Many people who know him will agree that he is an amazing teacher. He breaksdown the techniques with extremely detail manner… "move your toe…put your chin on his eyes etc…". More than that, he is also a tough fighter. Unlike many reputable "masters", he spars and competes regularly. Indonesia is fortunate to have a highly qualified martial art instructor like him.
