Information requested re: Certification

[EnergyBoxer]

I have found myself in a rough spot, my Sifu recently passed away in a freak accident in Nov. 02. I was one of his lead students in our JKD studies, and his jr. instuctor in our Wing Chun class. To some this may be of little importance , but I was never in any hurry to have my progression in the styles documented. This has proven to be a major set back due to my goal being to teach. My Sifu and I were very close friends, I thought I would have more time under him, we planned to open a school in my area and everything. Bottom line , I need to find someone to certify me as an instuctor, with out proof no one will give you the time of day. Most people would like you to study under them for a long period of time before they will certify you. I don't have the time to spend another 18 years going over the same stuff I have already have. I have heard Paul Vunak offers a Instuctorship Candidate course. Any POSITIVE feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, you need to find a guy whose JKD is close to yours, then contact him and set up the works. Contact Vunak and tell him your problem. Contact Burton Richardson of JKD Unlimited, I know for a fact that he is only into your skills, not how long you stay under his particular organization prior to that. Or find someone else whose style fits yours. Then just ask them about it.

BTW: Burton Richardson's website is https://www.jkdunlimited.com and he often personally replies to emails sent to him (his wife replied instead, when my questions were about something trivial). His style is very good and realistic too!
