Inosanto Vid.About time with Bruce.

[HERQ454]

Just came accross this vid with Dan Inosanto talking about his time with Bruce and what Bruce was interested in.For those who classify themselves in the "Original"camp and those who identify themselves with "Concepts",I think both should watch and hopefully some topics that get argued about will become clearer.

I have seen that video before and think it is a very good video. Thanks for posting it. You will always have those who argue they are right and everyone else is wrong even when they are proven wrong...it is truly a sad case...I hope that one day we can all move away from the politics and get back to training with one another regardless of what camp you are from or what your belief is when it comes to JKD.

Very interesting, thanks for posting!
This made me very curious to see how muay thai has developed over time. I'd really like to see videos of the progression of muay thai.

That's excellent information. Guru Dan is a wealth of knowledge, as always.

this might of been said before, but now the bl foundation want to bring people that do ojkd stuff and concept stuff together.

Tim..Nice.......I would agree with you. Only if people would just understand if you FEEL comfortable with your teacher great....But that doesn't mean to shit on other teachers you don't train with, its that simple guys.....But with all the name dropping, false claims, things like this will continue.......

I say "Walk On The Path, Not On Each Other"........I have trained with all the different camps and I'm willing to share what I know with anyone that wants to learn, reguardless what camp your from in JKD.......On another note, I will speak my mind when there are false claims being made or said to the new youth that are looking into training Jeet Kune Do.

Nice Thread Guys!!!

Hey guys...again good thread. I am really glad that thus far we have all been able to say nice things. Please do not let that change. On our website I have the last interview by the late Ted Lucaylucay and it was this interview that inspired us to create our association. I am not trying to advertise our association so please do not take it that way. However, I would like to post an excerpt from this interview because it has some good points in it.

"As far as the philosophy, Temujin [Gengis Khan] was the man who brought all the Mongolian tribes together. I remember talking about all the controversy earlier with all the different JKD [and FMA] factions now. They are all apart and yet they all come from the same family. Like the Mongolian tribes who were scattered living apart for so long and surviving, by stealing and robbing. Temujin came along and brings them all together and makes them into one great conquering nation. He was one of the great conquerors and developers. That’s what we are trying to do since there are bad vibes, politics and controversy going on. We like to use the concept of Temujin to bring all the JKD [and FMA] people together (those who want to come together; and learn how to live, change, share, and grow, with more togetherness and harmony). If primitive Mongolian tribes can do something like that, here we are suppose to be more civilized, educated people or nation, it would seem a little more easier for us. Our direction right now is to bring the people who want to get along together, not to create controversy among each other, and not getting involved in the nasty politics. These are the ones that are most prone to doing and enjoying what we want to do and pushing towards the same goal. And that is to get along."
