This thread started as a request for information about Dr.Beasley and then some guy inserted the paula inosanto letter.

NOW PAY ATTENTION TO THIS; Paula Inosanto wrote the letter that has been identified on this thread and misused by jealous individuals for one reason. Paula was mad that family member John Soet would publish any article that might show her husban Dan in an unfavorable light.
Prior to 1993 Inside Karate editor John Soet married Dan Inosanto's sister "Lil". Lil had cancer and died. Dan did not attend his sister's funeral.
Soet was hurt, of course. Paula felt that John was not a Inosanto family member even though he was married to Dan's sister. There were uneasy feelings there.
In 1993 Paul Bax published an article in Inside Karate magazine called "The Return of Original JKD". In the article bax quoted/misquoted several martial artists including Dr.B., lamar davis, Gary Dill, Jerry Poteet and Fran Joseph. She claimed that all JKD instructors were mostly trained by her husband and not Bruce lee.
When paula read the article about how Bruce lee's JKD was comming back and was becomming as popular as her husban's JKDconcepts she must have concluded that John Soet published the article to get back at Dan.
Paula then whipped off the letter, all 6 pages which was sent to publisher Curtis Wong to get John Soet fired. That was the point of the leter, retribution and revenge to Inosanto family member John Soet.
The fact that Dr.Beasley and others were mentioned in the letter was completely incidentel. Paula was a revengeful woman on a mission.
I have seen these excerpts cleaverly edited to appear as though Paula Inosanto/Dan wrote a letter to point out frauds. That is pure BS. Paula/Dan wrote the letter to get John Soet reprimanded for publishing an article that they felt was threatening to the Inosanto monopoly on JKD.
People edit out the rest of the 6 page complaint letter because they are jealous or threatened by Lamar, poteet, Dill, Joseph or Dr.Beasley.
NONE OF THIS HAD TO COME OUT IN PUBLIC EXCEPT FOR MICHAEL KRIVKA AND A FEW OTHERS WHO LEAVE THE LETTER, PARTS OF IT ANYWAY ON THE INTERNET.
Thanks,
Ian
