Walt Missingham Jeet Kune Do Seminar - Gleb Says

"Truly, I felt every moment of the Seminar was great. The presentation by Walt Missingham, in which he covered all the theory behind Jeet Kune Do, and Bruce Lee's progression through the development of JKD, in my mind was the highlight. In this, Walt highlighted the core of JKD, and what the Way of the Intercepting Fist is really about.

Walt did an impeccable job is outlining Bruce's mentality and motivation behind JKD. Essentially, the impression that I got was that JKD is the fusion of science and martial art.

I'd like to incorporate the mentality behind JKD into my own training:

• Efficiency of motion
• Bringing the fight to the attacker
• Bruce Lee's mentality of committing to every move you make, and putting everything you've got into your attacks, and further committing to put in even more with every succeeding attack.

I found this experience very inspiring, especially the mentality aspect. Besides that, I went home and read "The Art of War"...as well as looking up Einstein on the net.

I think most of all, this has motivated me to rethink martial arts. To take what is useful, reject what is not, and adapt everything to myself.

It has driven me to search for what works for me, not everybody else. I came to realise that martial art is the channeling of energy through your body, and to do that, I have to know my body so as to get an optimum output.

Such a Seminar is unique in that Walt is an amazing individual with knowledge which cannot be acquired anywhere else. This Seminar is more than anything an inspiration to put you on the path of self discovery. It totally changed my mentality towards martial arts, and inspired me to further pursue it."

Walt Missingham Jeet Kune Do Seminar - Albert Says

"The best part of the Seminar was the philosophy and the theory, because it’s stuff that not normally taught in class, it can be applied in many situations, not just self defence - and it’s a classic case of teaching a person to fish rather than to give them a fish.

I gained many insights into Bruce Lee, such as how he thinks, his analytic mind, the fact that he questions everything, and the different styles he has looked at. He's very objective and avoids bias.

I'll definitely incorporate Bruce Lee's way of thinking into my own training, and some of the techniques he used, as well as combat strategy.

This experience has certainly opened up a whole new way of thinking for me. The most basic movements have a lot more facets to it than I had initially envisaged. It's inspired me to really understand the martial arts that I'm doing now and incorporate what is good and not what is not effective.

Martial artists would benefit from attending a Seminar with Walt Missingham in the future, as it will teach them how to think analytically, have a different perspective on martial arts, gain a greater awareness of the different types of martial arts available, and learn about new training methods."

Walt Missingham Jeet Kune Do Seminar - Nicole Says

"I have to say I enjoyed learning more about Bruce Lee's philosophy on fighting – e.g. how he disregarded tradition and definite processes in fighting and instead focussed on outcome, etc. I'll have to hire some of his movies soon!

This outcome-over-process philosophy was interesting to me because I have always thought that martial arts, in general, was based around technique as well as tradition - and now my mind is more open to the reality of fighting rather than seeing it as a process.

I really enjoyed all of the hands-on training we did in the seminar but would have liked to do more! I think others would benefit from any future seminars with Walt because he is one of the best sources of information regarding Bruce's philosophies on fighting and has also had many personal experiences with fighting and needing to apply such philosophies."
