El Salvador Retreat 2026
Dear Members and Friends,
As some of you may already know, we recently announced our upcoming retreat at the beautiful Puro Surf Hotel in El Salvador, taking place March 10th to the 15th 2026! I am beyond thrilled and proud to bring this offer to life.
Ever since I started training Jeet Kune Do at 13 years old, over 25 years ago, I’ve worked on creating a lifestyle that has put my development as a martial artist as a top priority in my life. Inevitably, this holistic approach has bled into all other areas of my life helping beat all the odds working against me to become my best version as a professional, as a father, as an individual and of course, as a martial artist. This retreat is an opportunity to share this holistic approach with you.
This all-inclusive experience will blend the practice of Jeet Kune Do with various wellness activities, creating a transformative journey toward holistic health.
