Fuson's Eclectic Martial Arts

In our continuing effort to provide the best fitness training in Michiana, we
are proud to announce a new addition for those looking to study the martial
arts. Peak Fast is now the only fitness center in all of Northern Indiana who
offers professional instruction in the rare arts of both Kalsadapo Karate and
Jeet Kune Do under one roof! These classes are a fun and energetic way for you
and your family to stay in shape, build confidence, relieve stress, increase
your awareness and concentration, while learning practical self defense in a
friendly environment.

Kalsadapo Karate:
This is our primary art taught for both teens and adults who are looking to
stay in shape with the extra benefit of a martial arts class. If you want an
art that does not require you to learn dozens of forms, perform high kicks,
break boards and pay extra fees to associations, then look no further!

Kalsadapo offers more than just the classical teachings of blocking and
punching. Kalsadapo is a complex art that has been modified to our modern
environment allowing it to be a truly functional art in this millennium.
Kalsadapo differs from many styles during training for more realistic
responses. By contemplating misses or counters, you are learning the importance
of follow up techniques. This method of training gives you the knowledge of how
to react in various positions and changing angles during both expected and
unexpected situations, while using the least amount of force to overcome
aggression.

Jun Fan Gung Fu/Jeet Kune Do:
For the more mature ages of 16 - adult we also have a non classical course for
those interested in preserving the art and philosophy of the late Bruce Lee.
This course has been generally offered in private lessons and is not what the
general public knows as "an open art". There are few legitimate instructors in
this art which I am proud to be one of. My teaching methods are called Jeet
Kune Do Concepts. This is the true art as it has continued to develop even
after SiGung Lee's death under the guidance of Guro Dan Inosanto and my
instructor Sifu Larry Hartsell.

You will learn the early stages to the advanced methods and eventually tailor
fit the art to your natural abilities. This is a long road with no shortcuts.
We teach all the "ranges of combat" from long range (kicking), mid range
(hands/boxing), close quarter (trapping) to grappling (ground fighting). We
learn to flow effortlessly from range to range without thought. This course is
the most difficult and challenging one you may ever see or hear about and is
not for everyone.

Accept no substitute, this IS genuine JKD

Your Instructor

Sifu Russell Fuson

Sifu Fuson was born in South Bend, Indiana and has been involved in the martial arts since 1977. He brings with him the experience and knowledge of years of training and association with some of the finest martial artists of our time.

Sifu Russell Fuson is an instructor under Guro/Sifu Larry Hartsell (Si Gung Lee's Friend, student and long time instructor at the famed Inosanto Academy in California.)

Sifu Fuson was also personally selected by Sifu Hartsell to be an Instructor and Representative for the Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Grappling Association.

Having been trained in both classical and non classical methods of Karate & Kung Fu prior to entering the military, his time in the service had shown him certain weaknesses in his past training. At this period he learned the importance of finding something functional and effective for real world application. It was during these days Sifu began to look into as many arts as he could, and eventually became an instructor in both Kenpo Karate and Kempo Jui-Jitsu all while still cross training whenever possible.

After leaving the military, still prior to the UFC and the current popularity of the mixed martial arts, his studies on cross training continued. At this time he had already moved into the unique breed of JKD students and had become a known and respected as a second generation student of both Ed Parker and Bruce Lee. In the 1960's these 2 men heavily influenced the need to be progressive and to adapt to modern needs, 30 years before the current trend began to realize these benefits. Having already had this unique influence, Sifu Fuson had managed to study a number of other martial arts before going on to become an instructor in even more rare arts including Kalsadapo, Jun Fan Gung Fu and Jeet Kune Do.

Sifu Fuson has continued training and quietly teaching without publicity for a number of years. After seeing many current magazine articles and large associations putting out wrong information on the art of JKD, he decided now was the right time to come out of the shadows to promote the art to the general public.

He has returned to Granger, Indiana to begin teaching the rare arts of Kalsadapo and Jeet Kune Do. His classes are now held at PeakFast, the only fitness center in Indiana to offer legitimate training in both of these very rare arts. As you can see, with his wealth of experience, we can all gain a stronger insight to add to the effectiveness of our art, as well as to our own personal growth in the martial arts.
