Self Defense Training for Any Level
Join Us at San Jose’s #1 School for Bukti Negara
Guru Jule Sims began his martial arts journey at the age of 15, training in JKD, Kali, and Pencak Silat under Sifu Mark Balluff, whose innovative approach ignited a passion for diverse fighting arts. Exploring Tai Mantis with Sifu Mike M. and Hung Gar with Sifu Donald H., he discovered his true calling in Pencak Silat after a powerful demonstration by Honorary Guru Cliff S.
Captivated by its fluid techniques and cultural depth, he has been dedicated to the art ever since. With over 20 years of study, Guru Jule earned full Guru status in Bukti Negara on May 20, 2016. As a passionate instructor, he now leads dynamic classes in the Bay Area and at the Bukti Negara headquarters in Los Angeles.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
REAL MEMBER REVIEWS
“Joining Bay Area PDT Fitness has been the best decision for my health and well-being. Their comprehensive workout plans and dedicated trainers have helped me lose 20 pounds and significantly improve my stamina in just three months. The gym is clean, well-equipped, and the staff is incredibly supportive. Highly recommended!”
Knowledgeable and provides excellent instruction. The training is fluid and dynamic — you learn to improvise and flow, not just drill 1-2 combos. It’s a totally different mindset from rigid systems. Best part? It prepares you for real-world engagements with devastating, practical techniques that actually work under pressure. Highly recommend for anyone serious about self-defense.

There are alot of martial arts that LOOK similar to bukti negara. BUT there is no martial arts that is like bukti negara. There a literally only a hand full of qualified teachers in the world that can properly teach this martial arts system... Guru Stan is one of them. Most of us did other martial arts like JKD, Kali, Brazilian Jujitsu, Muy Thai Kickboxing, Kung Fu, and other popular martial arts... but we all end up studying this.

If you’re a beginner and just starting out then 2-4 times per week will be enough to see results and allow you to adjust. You’ll be sore some days, so allow yourself recovery days between training sessions at first – over the course of the following months work up towards 5 days per week if you want to maximize!

We offer an exciting, challenging and varied programming which will keep it fun! The workouts are published in advance. Some days are more strength focused where we will focus on our lifts. Movements like barbell squats, kettlebell swings and occasionally some olympics lifts will be included. Other days, we may focus more on cardio & conditioning with rowers and bikes. Some days are focused on body weight movements like pushups, sit-ups, and pull-ups. Some days are a mix of everything. Sign up today!
Each class is 60 minutes and led by qualified coaches. We always start together with a warm-up designed to activate the muscles being used in the workout. The coach will brief the group on the workout, the movements, and the proper form. During the workout, the coach will be guiding and providing instruction. At the end of class, we will cool down together to accelerate recovery and reduce potential injury. Sign up today!
