Testimonials
"Mike Blesch is one of the most professional people I've ever worked with. His shoots are well organized and his knowledge of martial arts and JKD shows. He is an excellent teacher and the community is better with him as a part."
"It is not often that the Wednesday Night Group makes an instructor, and it is even rarer that we have someone open a branch school. Mike Blesch is one of our students that we thought so much of that we not only made him an instructor but told him to open a satellite school. Mike has trained at both my and Jeremy Lynch's houses. He is very knowledgeable and a great teacher. He has assisted me on seminars and helped me teach in my garage class. If you are interested in Jeet Kune Do then Mike is a great choice for an instructor."
"Mike Blesch has been trained by me personally and has worked with the Wednesday Night Group. His training goes back 19 years. He has shown great capacity for taking what he learns and applying it in real world situations and training. His constant hunger to learn and grow is especially impressive. It has been an honor to be his Sifu."
