Instructor
West Coast Jeet Kune Do is led by Head Instructor Cornelius Clay. Cornelius is an avid practitioner of Jeet Kune Do under the tutelage of Sifu Tommy Carruthers. With over fifteen years in the practice of martial arts, he is an example of the continual student as he maintains a strict daily program of progressive practice. His philosophy within the Martial Arts revolves around Bruce Lee's principle of keeping thing simple. As a result of this graduated ideal, he has distilled his accumulative experience in over ten different Martial Arts styles in an effort to become more simple and direct.
Cornelius also continues his practice in the Wing Chun style of Kung Fu; Bruce Lee's first Martial Art. In an effort to understand the foundation of Bruce Lee, Cornelius diligently continues his research in his quest for Martial mastery.

I can say that I have achieved success in my life as well as overcome adversity, all thanks to the immeasurable discipline that I learned from Martial Arts training. It has allowed for a transformation within myself that I can't really explain. I can tell you this though, Martial Arts can benefit you too and I hope you take away something valuable from my experience. In what I call my short stint as a Martial Artist some of the things I've achieved:
- 2nd Dan Instructor TAEKWONDO - Taekwondo USA
- 2nd Dan Black Belt TAEKWONDO - U.S. Taekwondo Center
- 3rd Phase Rank JEET KUNE DO Concepts - Orange County Kickboxing
- Blue Glove Rank SAVATE - Professeur Nicolas Saignac
- 3rd Level Nak Muay MUAY THAI - Thaiboxing Assoc. of America
