Sifu R. Carrion is the chief instructor and founder of JKD-EXTREME Martial Arts Academy, in Lake Worth FL. He was born in the Bronx, New York in 1967. He is also an apprentice instructor under (JKD Nucleus Member) Sifu Tim Tackett. He has studied a variety of Martial Arts, and found that Jeet Kune Do was the philosophy that he found to be his truth. He felt that he should be complete in Martial Arts, being well rounded in all ranges of self defense, but using the mentality of "Simplicity" from top to ground skills. This is where he found JKD-THE WAY OF THE INTERCEPTING FIST.

As a fellow martial artist he would like to thank his Instructors for their guidance, dedication, sharing of knowledge, and also their friendship. I would like to thank my Sifu, Tim Tackett for his teaching and support; you have shown me the light at the end of the tunnel. Also, I would like to thank Richard Bustillo for his wisdom and knowledge and also his guidance. These are great men who I greatly respect, and last but not least Chris Kent Thank you, R. Carrion...

Sifu Carrion has studied for over 10 years in the following areas of Martial Arts. ( Jeet Kune Do, Boxing/Muay Thai, Kali-Escrima-Arnis, TEI Jiu Jitsu Grappling, Sport Judo) 1990 At the Self Discovery Martial Arts Academy

Kung Fu - (Chin Na) Privately under Sifu Ronnie Brown in Houston, Texas.

(Tae Kwon Do) - Under Sensei Reggie Toussaint at the Karate Tae Kwon Do Academy in Pompano Beach, Florida.

Jeet Kune Do is a way of knowledge to one's own martial arts and to one's innersoul. JKD is like life itself, always learning and never being limited to find one's own truth. By this I have found my path and now i can clearly see my place in the world of martial arts.
