    Hey, just wondering, but how did u go about formulating that list?

    i also notice that you don't have listed a Denis White, who instructs here in Newfoundland, Canada. the company name is Diversified Combat, and he has trained under Dan Insanto (sp?)

    i was wondering if any of you have met him, heard of him or know anything about him, as i am looking to pursue JKD as my MA of choice and he is the only instructor in Newfoundland that i know of.

    As for your ordeal with this company, i say you meet and fight to the death for its rights.

    Hey Sean,

    People should simply give credit where credit is due.

    Hey Sean,

    What happened to your boy Jason Rodriguez? His website no longer works. Have you been updating your instructors list? Cause it sounds like the guy went out of business because it seems that his website is no longer active. Unless he's updating his website or it's being hosting by a site that isn't active 24 hrs a day. Seeing that I live in the Bronx I wanted to check out his website to see if I may consider joining his school. Oh well, let me know if he's still actively teaching.

    I'd like to add that Drew Howe has only made his so called bold move in an attempt to get in with a big name in the JKD/RBMA world. He is desperate for credibility for his "I am a Viking Idiot" web site.

    Remember, you heard it here first.

    I made the Resignation sticky and closed it to matain the integrity of that single post. Any comments can be added to this thread.

    Which is sticky now as well.

    Not only is it your list, it's copyrighted as you have stated AND your school is not included!

    What crap!

    I've heard about the group. Who are they, and who are they certified under?

    Exactly

    Hey Spanky,

    Exactly bro. There is no understanding some people though.

    He has no honor!

    Why would he 'steal' it.

    When he could link to it like I just did and benefit from all your hard work without infringing on your property OR pissing you off.



    See. Give credit where credit is due and it's all good brau!


    What a punk!

    Get him Sean. Get him!

    Drew...

    Hi Drew,

    That was a bold move, and I am sorry that you were drawn into this. I had no intent what-so-ever for anybody from Hargrove's organization to quit. You have shown that you have honor!

    You also showed a lot of guts, and class to make the step you just made. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you in any way.

    All the best,

    Sean Madigan

    The World Jeet Kune Do Federation (WJKDF) has two Master Instructors in an organization of well over 3000 members. I was one of those two master instructors. I say "was" because as of about 5 minutes ago I sent an e-mail to Carter Hargrave and formally resigned as a member.

    My reason for doing so is very clear. Carter responded to Big Sean's e-mail by denying that the WJKDF instructor listings page was a copy of Sean's list. It is very clear that it is a copy. Moreover, I remember looking at Sean's list about a year before the WJKDF list was created.

    Based on the response that was sent to me and Sean, it seems very clear that the WJKDF and Carter Hargrave are not concerned with the ethical implications of this. I do not want anyone to think that I condone such behavior, therefore I resigned.

    Lawsuit Sean.

    Lawsuit.

    It may sound like the crappy thing to do, but this is the reason why civil laws are created. You are running a business and are entitled to your intellectual property!

    Serious man, get a good lawyer and sue the bastages.

    Especially if they're trying to copyright YOUR work!
