Sifu Paul Vunak
A JKD legend
Paul Vunak's JKD approach has always been focused on authentic combat. His unique approach to rationalizing Jeet Kune Do and developing it into a practical training method for everyone is unparalleled in our time.
He called this approach RAT, which stands for Rapid Assault Tactics. Paul Vunak's methods were adopted by the SEALs, the FBI, the CIA, and a dozen police SWAT teams. After an extensive worldwide search in the 1980s by SEAL Team Six founder Richard Marcinko for the best close-quarters combat system, the US Navy SEALs recruited Paul Vunak to teach them his unique system.
