Jesse Glover to Teach at the International Fook Yueng Chuan June Mountain Retreat

Jesse Glover, Bruce Lee’s First Student and Assistant Instructor and author of Bruce Lee’s Between Wing Chun and JKD will be a guest at The Little Dojo / International Fook Yueng Chuan Association Mountain Retreat the Weekend of June 5, 6, & 7. Jesse Glover is one of the worlds leading experts on Bruce Lee’s fighting methods. Jesse Glover teaches privately at his school in Seattle and does select seminars around the world.

Jesse Glover and Steve Smith Inheritor of Fook Yueng Chuan have been associates for nearly 20 years sharing training concepts and fighting methods. Jesse Glover was introduced to Fook Yueng by Bruce Lee in 1959 so this will represent a 50 year association with Fook Yueng and Jesse Glover.

Fook Yueng was a teacher / mentor to Bruce Lee from 1959 to about 1966. His back ground studying with many of the top Chinese Martial Artists in the Red Boat Opera taught Fook early to respect all styles learning from them what they had to offer until they became, ”All same, Nothing”. You can see this influence coupled with Bruce Lee’s natural inventiveness culminating in what became know as Jeet Kune Do. Bruce Lee’s father was a Gung Fu Brother to Fook Yueng and as a favor Fook took Bruce under his wing in 1959 when Bruce moved to the United States picking him up from the ship in Oakland and driving him to Seattle to help him get settled.

Jesse Glover remains friends with Fook Yueng to this day.

Jesse Glover has taught many excellent practitioners over the years and taught along side many more. Some of Jesse’s Students include, Pierre Hartmann of Switzerland, Ingolf Grabitz of Germany, Tommy Carruthers of Scotland, Tom DeFelice of Seattle, Wolfgang Rain, and many others who prefer anonimity. Jesse is a consumate coach who is able to see instantly how to get the most out of an individual while helping that person maintain their unique way of moving. This is a rare oportunity to train with on of the worlds finest teachers.

I would encourage anyone from any background to consider training with us at this Mountain Retreat it is a great opportunity to add essence into any art.

I have opened this event up to 10 more people as Jesse will be there. If you are interested contact SteveSmith@thelittledojo.com

Visayan Eskrima

Several of Sonny Umpad's top Students/Gurus are now offering a web site to the memory of the Legend Sonny Umpad. http://www.visiayaneskrima.com

Sonny lived the life of an innovator and creator, of music and Martial Artists, and an art of massive dimensions. Jesse Glover said, "He was like Bruce Lee but with Sticks". Most people who watched him move had trouble following the action, I had to tell him to slow down so people could see what he was doing and appreciate it.

It is great to see some of his long term students coming out with some of the teachings of Sonny Umpad, through seminars and articles. The Dog Brothers have come out with a new DVD that highlights the art of Sonny both with sticks and with his carvings, a fascinating look at one of the Legends of FMA.

Check it out! Also I have heard that The Little Dojo will be hosting a Visayan Eskrima Seminar with many of the successors of this amazing art.

Kalem Klinfelter Wins in First Mixed Martial Arts Match in Walla Walla MMA Event

Here Kalem Klinefelter poses with Chad his opponent of a few minutes privious. They had one of the best fights of the night, being fairly evenly matched standing up, Chad had a good game on the ground that challenged Kalem in the area where Klinefelter felt the most comfortable. It was one of the most exciting matches of the night as well, the crowd was on its feet when Kalem finished with a triangle choke in the second round.

Kalem started training with Steve Smith at Premier Martial Arts in Walla Walla about 2 to 3 months prior to the fight and had about 1 year of Jiujitsu before that. Kalem is one of the fastest studies Steve Smith has seen and has a real natural way of moving on the ground. He is coming a long way in striking and should have a good amature career if he decides to pursue it.

Good luck to Kalem in the Future!

Steve Smith teaches Mixed Martial Arts privately and has a Mixed Martial Arts Team at Premier Martial Arts and The Little Dojo. Interested in Mixed Martial Arts in Walla Walla? Contact Premier Martial Arts 509-527-3385, they can get you in the ring.
