I recently joined IMA and love it. Sifu Steve is an incredible coach and mentor and really understands how to teach martial arts. The community there is awesome, very friendly people who just want to help each other. No egos or macho BS. Plus I get to learn Bruce Lee’s martial art, my inner 13 year old is thrilled.

I have attended classes at Integrated Martial Arts for about 2 1/2 years, first for Kali and then Jeet Kune Do. Sifu Steve is a highly skilled, patient and organized instructor. His well-rounded curriculum provides an excellent workout, comprehensive instruction and a supportive and inclusive community. Integrated Martial Arts is a great school and I encourage you to check us out.

Our programs that Hayden love

jeet-kune-do

Jeet Kune Do

Jeet Kune Do isn’t fixed or patterned like traditional Arts, but rather guiding principles and concepts taken from a multitude of Martial Arts and systems. Designed for self-defense, Jeet Kune Do trains you in instinctive movements, effective counterattacks, and quick neutralization of threats. Bruce Lee stressed that all martial arts have something valuable to offer blending techniques from many Martial Arts like Fencing, Wing Chun, Boxing, Karate, Thai Boxing, Tae Kwon Do, Kali, Aikido, Jiu-Jitsu, Kempo, BJJ, Catch Wrestling, and Sambo, to name a few. All of these techniques blend together seamlessly emphasizing agility, economy of motion, countering and practical self-defense. It’s essentially the original MMA!

kali

Kali

Kali [aka: Escrima or Arnis] is the stick and knife fighting Arts of the Philippines covering the combative arts from over 7000 versions of this art! There are 12 areas of combat in Kali including the same as JKD and others like single stick/knife, double stick/knife, stick and shield, stick and dagger, flexible weapons, long weapons [staff], and even projectile weapons! You will get a great workout training in Kali, but its greatest benefits include hand-eye coordination, reaction time, fast movement recognition, timing and speed all leading to an extremely effective Art for self-defense! Few other Martial Arts teach these skills like Kali does.

I have been training in Jeet Kune Do under Sifu Stephen and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He has cultivated a supportive learning environment in which advanced students actively mentor those who are newer to the practice. Each lesson has strengthened both my skills and my confidence. Sifu Stephen strikes an excellent balance between encouragement and challenge, pushing students to grow in ability and self-assurance. I highly recommend his instruction to anyone seeking to develop practical self-defense skills.

Me and my husband had a trial lesson in Jeet Kune Do (JKD) and Kali with Sifu Stephen at Idaho Martial Arts, and I was genuinely impressed with the entire experience.. The class was very welcoming, and Stephen did a great job breaking everything down so even a beginner could follow along while still feeling challenged. The JKD portion felt very practical and realistic, focusing on timing, distance, and simple, effective techniques. We worked on footwork, striking, and concepts like intercepting and economy of motion. The Kali training was especially fun and dynamic, giving me a real sense of coordination, flow, and control with the sticks. It was challenging but also really fun, and Sifu Stephen made sure everyone stayed safe while still pushing us to improve. Overall, it was a great mix of technical detail, real-world application, and a positive training atmosphere. I definitely recommend IMA and Sifu Stephen to anyone interested in JKD, Kali, or just want a well-run martial arts school. If you’re interested in improving your overall self-defense in a serious yet welcoming environment, look no further!

I've been learning Jeet Kune Do and Kali at Integrated Martial Arts for several years now. Sifu Steve provides a safe and welcoming environment to learn and drill self defense skills. Steve's knowledge of both disciplines has helped me build confidence and strength in myself. The Integrated Martial Arts experience is both fun and rewarding. I highly recommend training here!

Sifu Stephen was awesome. My first time experiencing martial arts and he broke down not only the steps and postures of each move but the reasoning behind them. Highly recommend his knowledge and professionalism.

I had a great experience at Integrated Martial Arts! I went for a self defense night with my daughter and other women from my church. The instructors were VERY patient with everyone which was great because there was a very large range of abilities, ages, and body types in one class. Everyone was having a really great time learning how to work their bodies to protect themselves. It's amazing how much I learned and still retain from that class. Thank you Integrated Martial Arts for making new skills so accessible to the community! 🙏🏾

I’ve trained in a variety of martial arts for over 30 years and have trained with or under many different practitioners/instructors; some who were great and some who were not quite great; that experience has enabled me to recognize martial artists who don’t just know what they are doing, but who are true professionals. Having said that, I can say without a doubt that Sifu Stephen is just that: an accomplished and very knowledgeable instructor who is a true professional. He is not only highly skilled but is also a very good teacher who is able to effectively work with students at any level. Perhaps more than all of this, he has a true servant’s heart and really cares about the people he trains with; not just in teaching them a skill but taking a vested personal interest in each and every one of them. I cannot recommend Sifu Stephen or IMA enough and would encourage anyone, regardless of their skill level, to train at IMA; you won’t regret it!
