History
The concept for Ekata Training Center was originally birthed in 1995 by Sifu Ed Monaghan, and Sifu JoAnn Wabisca, whose combined efforts over the course of 19 years led to the development of a completely new approach to fitness, lifestyle, and living. From their tutelage under Jerry Poteet (one of Bruce Lee's star students that comprised the Jeet Kune Do nucleus of which many consider to hold the most undiluted teachings) to their extensive experience in in the arts and sciences, Sifu Ed and Sifu JoAnn bare a unique skill set - coupled with a great passion for helping others.
