About me

My name is Asaf Ronen. I’ve been training in Jeet Kune Do (JKD), Jun Fan Kung Fu, Muay Thai, Savate, Silat, Kali, Jiu-Jitsu, and Krav Maga/KAPAP for 27 years.

I love to coach and make training fun. I nurture the potential in every student. I make my students sweat and become a better version of themselves.

I tell my students “Good job. Do you want to make it better?”

My primary teachers were Rick Tucci, Mike Lee, Guro Dan Inosanto, Ajarn Chai Sirisute, Amit Himelstein, Nicolas Saignac, and Salem Assli.

The material I coach is of high quality, and my coaching is of high quality. I care about your growth. I help you learn and retain techniques. I help you develop the attributes and mindset to excel at martial arts.

I found that training martial arts helped me in many other areas of my life. It improved my confidence, awareness, reflexes, ability to deal with hardships, and capacity to be calm and focused under stress. It also created a community around me.

My knowledge is broad and deep. I have my strengths and weaknesses. I believe no matter how much experience we have, there is always more to learn and refine.

In my professional life I coach big corporations on how to become innovative, customer focused, and how to build powerful healthy teams built on trust and inspiration as opposed to fear. I have a masters degree and an undergraduate degree from Carnegie Mellon University.
