I've been hiding out the last few weeks, working on a
Jeet Kune Do project, hence the lack of activity on the blogs.
Actually, this has been a year long project with an idea/goal that sprung up over two years ago and has finally come to fruition.
As you may have guessed, of all the martial arts I've studied, Jeet Kune Do has a special place for me. Maybe it's Bruce Lee, maybe it's events surrounding my introduction into the martial art, maybe it was my parents getting me started in Tang Soo Do when I was four years old, or more than likely, a combination of everything.
My first Jeet Kune Do Sifu, Dr. Zee Lo, warned me of all the political dogma surrounding original JKD and JKD Concepts and all the JKD vigilantes. For the most part, I stayed out of it by not teaching publicly.
In 2008 I decided to follow my passion of teaching martial arts by taking it to a public level and opened my first commercial Jeet Kune Do school. This is when I really started to see the extent of all the bickering within the JKD world. Of course, this was made even more evident by the occasional hate mail from some disgruntled "JKD" man who preferred that the art either disappear or change into something entirely different from what Bruce Lee was doing!
Following the example of my teachers at the
Wednesday Night Group, I chose the guiding principle to preserve and promote Jeet Kune Do in it's original form as Bruce Lee taught it to his various students.
So here it is in it's ultimate expression, my Tao of Jeet Kune Do:
Authentic
Jeet Kune Do online training available world wide.
See you in class!
