About
Simplifying lessons for students of all ages and backgrounds is my priority after years of experience. I customize each lesson plan based on the participants to ensure their maximum benefit. My teaching approach emphasizes learning practical skills that can be applied to real-life situations, regardless of previous abilities. My training history includes the privilege of learning from Dan Inosanto, Taky Kimura, the only two living representatives of Jeet Kune Do personally certified by Bruce Lee, and more recently, Taky Kimura's son and Bruce's Godson Andy Kimura. The satisfaction I derive from helping individuals protect themselves and passing on my experiences is immeasurable.Profile isn't claimed yet

Upon meeting Nico, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality, which helped me settle into a new training environment with ease. He provided the ideal level of difficulty, pushing me just enough to bring about improvement while still keeping me comfortable. The initial session was a fantastic introduction, and I decided to continue training with Nico. He consistently tailors each session to address my particular strengths and weaknesses, which has helped me make significant progress. Nico's training style is both focused and adaptable, making each session enjoyable and stimulating.

Meeting Niko Skuljan was nearly three years ago when I posted an Ad on Craigslist seeking a private Martial Arts instructor after moving from San Francisco to Sonoma around the same time. Niko responded to the Ad, and we arranged to meet for a comprehensive consultation, where we went into great detail about my experience and key areas of focus in training, as well as his philosophy on combat training. We began our training the following week and have been working together ever since.
Over the years, I have trained in various forms of Martial Arts, including Judo, Tae Kwon Do, Kickboxing, traditional Boxing, Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do, and Wing Chun, and I can confidently say that Niko is well-versed in all of these areas. He is passionate, patient, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable, and has an eye like a hawk - nothing gets by him! He excels at correcting your form or stance and demonstrating it visually, and we film our sessions to track progress and identify areas for improvement.
Besides being a fantastic instructor, Niko is also a highly intelligent and personable individual, and we have developed a friendship over the years. Even if he is ever delayed due to traffic or other unforeseen circumstances, he is always fair, and we make up the time on another day of training. I highly recommend Niko Skuljan to anyone looking to take their Martial Arts training to the next level - he certainly has taken mine to new heights!

With his strong and infectious enthusiasm for teaching Jeet Kune Do, Niko is an outstanding instructor. He is consistently patient, perceptive, and motivational, creating an inclusive environment in which you feel like an active participant rather than a mere student. His comprehensive knowledge of martial arts, specifically of Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun, is seemingly boundless. Furthermore, his aptitude for recognizing each student's unique requirements and customizing the curriculum accordingly is what firmly convinced me to commit to his program. If you are given the chance to train with Niko, seize the opportunity!

Niko is an outstanding educator with expertise in his area of focus. He possesses exceptional skills, is considerate, and displays intelligence in his teaching. I strongly encourage his instruction and can attest that he is undoubtedly the most remarkable mentor a student could hope for! I am indebted to him and anticipate continued learning under his guidance for many years to come. Thank you, Niko!
