Iron Arahat Posted April 5, 2002 Posted April 5, 2002 So here is the question.... No uniforms, train anything you can get your hands on, focus on effectiveness and efficiency. No training under a certified JKD instructor, no base in Jun Fan. Prior martial arts training in several arts. Can this person rightfully call himself a JKD concepts instructor> Martial Arts School http://www.shaolinwushu.cahttp://www.liveyyc.comCalgary Photographer: http://www.jdirom.com
YODA Posted April 6, 2002 Posted April 6, 2002 Nope. He can call himself a JKD Concepts Instructor - just as I could call myself a TKD Instructor, or anything alse I wished. It wouldn't be "rightfull" though. It may be a great system / method he's teaching - there are many about - but without lineage to Guro Inosanto it's not JKD Concepts.

Iron Arahat Posted April 7, 2002 Author Posted April 7, 2002 What about just JKD? Martial Arts School http://www.shaolinwushu.cahttp://www.liveyyc.comCalgary Photographer: http://www.jdirom.com
YODA Posted April 7, 2002 Posted April 7, 2002 Erm...... Nope. JKD was Bruce Lee's personal path - it died with him.

Iron Arahat Posted April 7, 2002 Author Posted April 7, 2002 So my guess is there is a great deal of fraudulent JKD stuff out there today, based on those two responses. Martial Arts School http://www.shaolinwushu.cahttp://www.liveyyc.comCalgary Photographer: http://www.jdirom.com

Iron Arahat Posted April 7, 2002 Author Posted April 7, 2002 Reason I ask is that someone is trying to get me to go and train with a person in a different province. A person who is certified under Paul Vunak. The individual wants to go take these classes and start teaching JKD. More specifically in my school at times when I am not teaching my classes. While I have no problem with letting him teach, or going to a seminar. I do have a problem with misrepresenting one's self.
