"I believe you had no business making Jun Fan/JKD video's in the first place Aikia, along with the Ninjitsu gig you tried in the early 80's; it is safe to assume your credibility is almost as bad...
Dear White Dragon,
In Jan of 2007 Dave Cater at Inside Kung Fu magazine asked me to write a book on JKD. That book is now available from Unique publications . The title is "JKD: High-Risk...
Nice replys guys. The 1971 "Liberate yourself from classical Karate" did draw heavily on Krishnamurti. Check out the article in the July issue of Black Belt on sale May 25.
You are correct. You must first have a classical art before you can reject the classical mess. Having no form and having no-form is the difference. A beginner has no form. The beginner has what we...
Compare "Liberate" to "Pathless land" and other Krishnamurti works and you will see the strong union of Lee and Krishnamurti. Some passages almost word for word. Google.com Jiddu Krishnmurti/Bruce...
Interesting point. According to Linda Lee when Bruce was resting after the back injury in the summer of 1970 he began a study of Indian guru Jiddu Krishnamurti. Much of the JKD after 1970 was...
The martial arts summer camps of the mid-1990's were larger. We stay at around 225-250 now. It is less drain on the facilities and more personalized instruction for the campers. www.aikia.net.

I was a philosophy major at VA Tech (BA Philosophy '73) and found the pragmatic philosophy more to my liking. I remember covering Krishnamurti in a lecture but found no continued interest until...
Circle of Iron was indeed an exellent movie and demonstrates Lee's understanding of what his Indian spiritual guru Jiddu Krisnamurti called the "pathless land". Most seem to prefer the 1970-pre...
The concept of "Certification" in JKD has always been of dubious reputation. Bruce Lee offered only a few certificates in his lifetime. The certificates were from the Jun Fan Gun Fu institute....
Here's another tidbit of info. Bruce Lee moved to LA/CA in December of 1966. By 1967 he had established a JunFan Gung Fu club as a training center. Jeet Kune Do was not formalized until 1968. Bruce...
According to published accounts Bruce Lee did not move to the Los Angles area until December of 1966 ( to work on the Green Hornet series). Dan Inosanto is quoted as stating that Bruce wanted to get...
Hello Kung Fu Magazine readers,
Mr name is Jerry Beasley. Since I am no longer active in JKD circles I wanted to take a few minutes and provide some information. I started learning about JKD like...
Mike is of course Mike B. who taught JKD at my Karate college some years ago. Mike was not invited back, because of scheduling and nothing personal. mike thought it was personal, hence his less than...
