Saddened to hear the passing of JKD's Tim Tackett (Wednesday Night Group). I first met him at the 2008 Bruce Lee Foundation seminar in Seattle. His demo of the diagonal fist and strong, commanding voice made a lasting impression. My condolences. RIP.

Honored to assist Sifu Richard Torres at the JKD Seminar in the Netherlands! Seeing the participants' energy, focus, and dedication was the true reward. A powerful reminder of the art's potential. A privilege to contribute!

The Netherlands 2025

I had a blast at the Jeet Kune Do Seminar, instructed by Sifu Richard Torres, hosted by Sifu James Ter Beek and Sifu George Sirag.

Glad to see everyone, old and new.

Until next time!

Hello from the Netherlands.

I traveled to Oranjehotel National Monument in The Hague was the main WWII German political prison in the Netherlands. Over 25,000 Dutch citizens—men, women, and children—were wrongfully held there.

Found a somewhat clear picture of Jesse Glover and Bruce Lee. I did my best despite the smudges. I also have an AI-colored version, it's too sharp and noticably inorganic; posting it would eliminate the original picture's focus.

Stick to the original, right?

My student, Jack Romano and The Romanaires, crushed it live at Brothers Smokehouse in Mahwah! Seriously talented musicians—the show was fantastic.

So proud! Mark my words: Jack Romano is the next artist to watch.

My school, Fist of Interception Institute, attended the Jeet Kune Do International Three Instructors Seminar hosted by Sifu Richard Torres, Joaquin Marcelo, and Octavio Quintero in Fishkill, NY. We also paid our respects at Sigung Ted Wong's resting place.

Bruce Lee proved that to express a martial art's functional effectiveness, we must reject the confines of its history. Combat preparation should not be restricted by tradition.

Summer ends, but the journey continues. I'm excited to build on what I've accomplished, create more content, finish projects, and celebrate life. Here's a photo from my trip to Acuatico Beach Resort in the Philippines. I recommend this amazing place to anyone!

Took a trip to Philly on the last day of summer and visited the amazing Magic Gardens. Isaiah Zagar's mosaics are incredible—and you can find his unique, vibrant artwork all over the city, not just in the museum.

Happy 31 Years, JKD Martial Arts Institute!

I am honored to be STILL part of this school and to be amongst dangerous training partners.

Thanks, Sifu Richard Torres for being a great teacher and helping me find the cause of my ignorance.

Cheers!

Sparring at the JKD Martial Arts Institute taught me that being tactical isn't enough. I learned how to adapt to unpredictable danger not only with tactics but with strategic frameworks like Bruce Lee's 5 Ways of Attack.

Understand Yourself

You can respect tradition, do not be bound by it.

I saw my friend Jeff Chinn's Bruce Lee memorabilia at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum's Collectors' Corner in May 2016. It was exciting to see his collection on display. The entire Bruce Lee Exhibit is still going strong and is a must-see!

A big thank you to everyone who came out for the 9-Year Anniversary Jeet Kune Do Seminar last night.

Extreme appreciation for my students who represented and helped our guests with the training.

Blessed to have this support. Again, I didn't think I would make it this far but...here we are.

"Skill isn't born; it's earned. Every hour of quiet dedication, every small breakthrough, every failure that taught you something new—that's the currency of mastery."

Even during my vacation in the Philippines, I found time to sharpen my tools of self-protection.

It was an honor to have trained in Jun Fan Gung Fu, Bruce Lee's original martial art. The seminar was led by Sifu Mike Hilow with the legendary Sifu Taky Kimura in attendance at the Wing Luke Museum. Witnessing Sifu Taky's passion for Bruce's art was an unforgettable experience.
