Real Stories. Real Transformation.
From students and parents who found confidence, focus, and strength through Tornado Martial Arts Academy.
My son Alex and I have trained here for three years—it’s been life-changing. The JKD is practical and efficient, Pat is incredibly knowledgeable, and the zero-ego culture is refreshing. My fitness and mental resilience have improved massively. Highly recommend for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
— Chris Antchev, Parent
Before Sifu Pat’s teachings, it was very difficult to get my son, Finley, interested in any activities. Through years of dedicated training, he has developed a real love for kickboxing and Jeet Kune Do. As a parent, I am truly thankful for the focus, confidence, and passion he has developed.
— David Newman, Parent
My 8-year-old has boundless energy. Sifu Pat has been channeling that into real skills for 3 years now. He’s learning practical self-defense and sparring that actually works, not the traditional katas I did as a kid that never worked when it mattered.
— Vibin Joseph, Parent
