About The Instructor

The Head Instructor of the Hardcore Jeet Kune Do Academy is Sifu Lamar M. Davis II. Sifu Davis has been a practicing martial artist since 1967. His training in Wing Chun Gung Fu and Jeet Kune Do began around 1977. He has been training ever since, having achieved Full Instructor certification directly from no less than five of the Jeet Kune Do founder’s original students. This makes him one of the most highly ranked Jeet Kune Do instructors in the entire world!

Sifu Davis is the founder of the Hardcore Jeet Kune Do approach to training. Hardcore Jeet Kune Do is a reality-based, real world self defense method. We do not believe in the use of martial art for sport, competition or recreation, but purely for self defense application. Sifu Davis is one of the premier reality based self defense instructors in the world, and is close friends with many world renowned instructors such as Dynamic Combat founder Richard Ryan, as well as many other Second Generation Jeet Kune Do instructors such as Tim Tackett and Bill Holland.

Sifu Davis is the Senior Instructor/Executive Director of the Jun Fan Fighting Arts Association. This organization is dedicated to developing instructors worldwide, and has members scattered all around the world.

He is also the Founder and Editor of Hardcore Jeet Kune Do magazine, which is currently on hold, but will be making a comeback in the very near future!
