"Shahram Moosavi is amazing!"
"After spending over the past three decades training in martial arts all over the world. Researching the truth in combat and Practical martial arts I have never come across a better coach/trainer martial Arts Instructor than Shahram Moosavi. He is incredibly knowledgeable in Jeet Kune Do Concepts, Filipino Martial Arts and Brazilian jiu-jitsu MMA Training Not just the technical aspects but in the realistic application and attribute development. He is a valuable resource and a solid educator. As skilled as he is as martial artist does not compare to the incredible human being he is. He is one of a kind, a huge positive influence and life changing person. He is Truly a Master."
"Shahram is incredible! Phoenix JKD has exceeded my expectations on so many levels. Shahram teaches a practical, synergistic fighting system incorporating wide and varied styles and philosophies, some I had never even heard of before I started training with him. He teaches with a piercing attention to detail and a humble, patient delivery that makes training very habit-forming. He makes complex concepts and strategies easy to understand, and there is a lot of focus on attribute development, axioms, and strategy versus memorizing techniques that may or may not work on different opponents. You won't find a better martial arts instructor anywhere or a better group of men and women to train with."
"Since returning to this beloved sport, I have changed my perspective on fighting in every great possible way. I couldn't stress it enough, the difference between the past gyms I've trained at, and couldn't thank JKD enough for the amazing support from coaching and the participants that train there everyday. Thank you coach."
