Jeet Kune Do Chicago: A New Standard in Martial Arts
In the heart of Chicago, Jeet Kune Do Chicago is setting a new standard for martial arts. Under the leadership of Nic Buttice, a student of Sifu Barry Lee, the school adheres to the philosophy of Bruce Lee: martial arts as a tool for self-preservation, growth, and clarity in all areas of life.
Buttice, who also trained under Sifu Pedro Rodriguez, brings a balanced approach to Jeet Kune Do—one that is as much about self-awareness as it is about technique. “It’s not just about defending yourself,” says Buttice. “It’s about becoming your best self—mentally, physically, and emotionally.”
The school offers three primary programs, each designed to cater to students at different stages of their journey:
- JKD Lab ($100/month): A hands-on environment where students refine their skills, test their limits, and engage in pressure testing.
- Private Sessions ($150/hour): One-on-one training designed to target specific needs, whether that’s technique, performance, or overall personal growth.
- JKD Class Development ($175/month): A comprehensive curriculum designed to help students master Jeet Kune Do from every angle—mental, physical, and tactical.
For Buttice and his students, Jeet Kune Do is more than just a martial art. It’s a way of life—focused not only on improving physical health, but on fostering resilience and mental clarity in an increasingly chaotic world.
Classes are structured to fit into the busy lives of working professionals, with flexible options available throughout the week.
At Jeet Kune Do Chicago, the goal isn’t just to learn how to fight. It’s to learn how to live better—on your own terms.
