Old Inosanto Academy footage with Guro Dan Inosanto talks about JKD Concepts
Пікірлер
Feel strange to say this, but watching this was incredibly emotional. The swell of memories from the 90s, being fortunate to have visited this gym and learned from the great Guro Dan here and in his many seminars. One of the highlights of my life, and memories I will always treasure.

Indeed, all these memories remain forever engraved in our brains and their emotions are intense...but please tell me, if I am not mistaken, that they practice French boxing "savate" , is it true or am wrong ?

This is fantastic, this was first Marina Del Rey school, recognize quite a few faces here… will not mention names for privacy but 2 here are now world famous as directors and lead stunt coordinators, these guys inspired me when I tagged along with a older friend of mine when I was a kid, attended many seminars here. Brought back a lot of memories…should be late 80s or early 90s before move to school closer to LAX.

Great footage! I recognize a few faces but most of all the interior, it's the Marina Del Rey Inosanto Academy from the early 90s. It was an awesome place to train, so many good teachers and exposure to all sorts of martial arts. I moved away from Southern California many years ago but the three things I really miss about the area are the weather, the beaches, and the Inosanto Academy.

The JKD my instructor Ralph Mitchell who is certified on the Paul Vanek, felt my particular aptitude was in Filipino martial arts and SAVATE. I’m focused my training on that seeing that I had the aptitude and attitude for those two art.we Also studied the standard JKD concepts and did all the exercises that are featured here. I did this in the 80s and 90s and it brings back good memories to see this

Who was Paul Vanek , student of Bruce Lee? Quite number of people like to mention in comment sections they had close connections with Bruce Lee through his former students, whether they were student of Kimura or Jesse Glover, BUT THEY NEVER DEFEND BRUCE LEE from naysayers. Was it one of the reasons is probably because they were students who, didn’t graduate, couldn’t cut it to be a fighter, cancelled future fighting lessons was embarrassed by his/her instructor.

Love Sifu Inosanto! I had barely been doing martial arts for 6 weeks when I first met him at a seminar at Sifu Fong’s. He took the time to help an uncoordinated 18-year-old over 20 years ago. Meant so much to me. Great to see Jun Fan sparring! And Sifu Ron Balicki looking great sparring! (With Sifu Dicky Harrell I believe, another great instructor and practioner who taught my first JFJKD instructor, Sifu Bruce Jolly!).

I’m not sure if that is right about not having the focus mitts available before Bruce’s time in the 1960s. I don’t doubt they didn’t substitute sandals for focus mitts pretty innovative by the way! But didn’t Traditional boxing have these focus mitts? Just a question
@TheSubwaysurfer11 ай бұрын
I don’t think the focus mitts were invented until the late 70’s. Dan has told stories about Bruce using baseball catcher’s mitts to work as a primitive focus mitt. Boxers back in the day used medicine balls sometimes to punch at and a floating bag to work on punch accuracy. The boxing speed bag has been around for decades!

I don’t doubt that full contact wasn’t done in the 60s it wasn’t something however that was widespread as the prevailing myth At the time was that “Karate techniques were two deadly to be done for real“ by most of the martial arts community. I didn’t just have a magazine in the 60s I learn martial arts personally in the 60s and 70s. If anything sparring in my East Coast school was moderate And full Contact to the body and no facial contact. If you were kicked in the face it was a loud but definitely no punching

No JKD at all, show me where they 'intercepted' an attack, just like what Bruce did in their sparring. No wonder Linda Lee said, of all Bruce's students, only Ted Wong moved like him.

Yeh, that’s true. You never see any intercepting or fencing from Dan or his students. Concepts is a “classical mess” Bruce tried to get away from. “The majority of people who practice Jeet Kune Do are mixed up, they think it should be a part of Wing Chun, a part of MMA, a part of Thai boxing, a part of wrestling, you know, a part of Wing Chun, which this is completely incorrect. You don't go from style to style, you go from distance to target or target to distance. Longest weapon to the nearest target and the most direct and efficient route possible, that is Jeet Kune Do.” - Tommy Carruthers

If a championship Olympic fencer said 'here's my favorite winning technique' and showed you, you wouldn't be able to DO it. Same with BL's JKD, designed for HIM, with his reflexes and speed. Imagine how frustrating it was for him to see 'club fighters' try to do his stuff, like Tim Tackett or the Wednesday group. They were too old, too slow. Sure Kudos to them to try and perpetuate it but they knew they were just going through motions. None of them were going to go get in a bar fight with their 'BL fav moves' after class. So beyond perpetuating, what's the point?

That sparring looks like garbage. Listen, you can sparr with light contact, but with quality technique and with good timing. Light contact doesn't mean garbage technique. Those kicks were being thrown a mile away and they looked so telegraphed. Light contact sparring should be done with good quality technique, and with good timing. The whole idea with "light contact sparring", is to practice good technique with good timing under light pressure (or with someone who is not fully cooperative), without hurting your training partner. "Light contact sparring" is NOT where you abandon using good technique. It dosent look like Dan was actually training or sparring with anyone at this point, he looks more like an old coach in this video.Dan probably stopped sparring around the time Bruce died. At one time, Dan was pretty active in the national circuit with Karate tournaments, and this was all probably before Dan started training with Bruce.
