Walt Missingham Jeet Kune Do Seminar - Leon Says

"I think the best thing I took from the seminar was to realise that in real life the combat is outcome driven, and not a fair and orthodox bout. To keep this in mind while training on technique seems like the best way to see opportunities when you will be able to use the techniques, or quickly get into position to use them, when in an actual fight.

The material on physiology was very interesting and applicable, especially breaking someone's balance or a pivot point when they have you in a lock.

Developing maximum power to suit your own personal build was good, the idea of not having a 'standard' best way to do a certain move for everyone.

It was good to hear of how devoted Bruce was - to the development of JKD and also to maximising the body for optimal use in combat.

It is good to have a vision like that to train toward, knowing that you can always improve - to go stronger, quicker, longer.

It was inspiring to be in the presence of Walt, knowing where he has come from and accomplished demands respect of character for the person he is and his life experience, not just the rank he holds in a martial art.

In all it was well worth the money spent, I advise others to grab the opportunity and make the most of his wisdom - prepare and ask questions!"
