Professor GARY DILL The Old WAY JKD

Jeet Kune Do seminars have been around since the mid 1980’s.

The seminar is an excellent vehicle for interested students to learn the various aspects of JKD.

rs are students of a JKD expand their knowledge fine points and advanced techniques.

There are also those inquisitive students from other arts who want to experience the famous fighting art of Bruce Lee.

The seminar usually is a two day training session, but some may last several days or even just one day. Usually they are taught by a well known JKD instructor whose reputation attracts curious and eager attendees.

I have been teaching JKD seminars since 1989 and since then have traveled all across the US from coast to coast and also internationally.

My focus in seminars is teaching the “ pre1973” JKD, also known as the “original’ JKD. This is the Jeet Kune Do that Bruce Lee himself developed prior to his death which is a blend of Wing Chun Gung Fu, boxing, and some aspects of fencing

The focus of this JKD is for actual combat void of sport aspects, aesthetics, or classical techniques. There are also seminars in JKD Concepts which incorporates the arts of arnis, kali, muay thai, etc.

There are seminars taught in numerous other martial arts such a jujitsu, aikijitsu, weaponry, and a variety of other interesting systems.

A typical JKD seminar that I teach usually is for two days and for 5-6 hours per day.

I start out with stretching and loosening exercises then go into some of the basics such as learning the Oakland JKD fighting stance, then how to build up your speed and power in punching / striking, the JKD kicking skills.

Later I teach block and counters, counter against common blocks, entering to attacking, trapping hands and more.

Each seminar is different based upon the previous skill level of the group A good instructor will customize the seminar to fit the needs of the attendees.Sometimes the host may request specific techniques to be taught during the seminar.

Like I mentioned previously, each seminar is different based upon the wants and needs of the group or the host.

Seminars are here to stay in the martial arts community. It gives the attendees the opportunity to learn different techniques and develop a higher skill level. I enjoy teaching seminars for it gives me the opportunity to meet and teach other martial artists who otherwise I never would have known, to travel to places that I never would have been.

A seminar may be called a workshop or a training camp, but the concept is still the same The purpose of seminars is to learn different martial arts. You are there to learn and to expand your knowledge of the martial arts.

Many of you have already been to seminars, but those of you who have not, I highly recommend you get a friend and attend one that has interest to you.

There are no strangers at my seminars and all are welcome who are sincere in learning.

My informative and innovative JKD seminars are invaluable for expanding one's skills and knowledge

For both men and women alike, my training fits anyone with a true desire to learn and grow in their understanding of the JKD system and their skills They provide a unique platform to learn varied techniques, meet fellow martial artists, and experience different teaching styles.

Whether it is called a seminar, workshop, or training camp, the goal remains the same: to learn and grow in martial arts.

For those who haven't yet attended, I strongly encourage you to grab a friend and join a seminar that piques your interest.

At my seminars, everyone with a sincere desire to learn is welcomed, ensuring a supportive and enriching experience for all.
