Elite Jeet Kune Do LLC is an organization dedicated to the exploration/teaching of realistic street self-defense. Elite JKD was formed by renowned instructor

Paul’s journey into the martial arts began at a young age. He studied traditional arts such as Hung Gar gung fu, and received black belts in the arts of Tae Kwon Do and Kenpo. It was after Paul’s Kenpo school closed (where he was the head instructor at age 16) that Paul was accepted at Dan Inosanto’s Kali Academy. It was love at first sight.

Paul immersed himself into his training and began to assist Dan during demonstrations, seminars and training the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. Paul also taught classes at the academy.

Paul proved to be an excellent teacher. He helped popularize the art of Savate by opening the first Savate school in the US with Daniel Duby.

Paul’s emphasis on his own training focused on the violent unpredictability of a streetfight and self preservation. Students with similar interests gravitated towards Paul and his teaching methods. It was with Dan Inosanto’s encouragement and blessing that Paul formed Progressive Fighting Systems.

Paul’s method of having himself and his students “glove up” and “discover the cause of your ignorance” may have been viewed as extreme to some in the 80’s. One group who saw the benefit in these methods was the United States Navy and Paul was presented a contract to teach the legendary Navy SEAL Team Six.

Paul’s influence on the martial arts community, and the JKD community in particular, cannot be overlooked. His training methods and strategies for dealing with violent encounters are now taken for granted 20 years later. Paul studied with, and publicly endorsed, the Gracie’s and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu years before the first UFC. Many of today’s more popular JKD instructors have been personally trained by Paul Vunak and/or Progressive Fighting Systems.

Among Paul’s many accomplishments, he has received a key to the city and had a day proclaimed in his honor in Indiana for the work he did with law enforcement officers. He accepted a request to be a guest speaker at Governor Schwarzenegger’s Arnold Classic held in Columbus, Ohio. He was also elected to the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame.

But Paul is most proud of his recent endeavors, Executive PFS and Adapt for Life.
