Tommy Carruthers Online Jeet Kune Do

Interesting Tommy Carruthers is teaching online Jeet Kune Do classes. These look like an great deal financially, I have seen Tommy Curruthers in person and watched him teach. He is a great instructor and this looks like a great way to learn if you are not in reach of training with one of the top teachers of Jeet Kune Do.

It is the opinion of the Karate Critic that if you are not able to train with a top instructor leave JKD alone. It is hard to find a good practitioner let alone a good teacher and Tommy is Both in Spades.

Jesse Glover compares Tommy favorably with Bruce Lee himself.

Master of Arms James A. Keating Draw Point Series

"The Comtech DRAWPOINT SYSTEM is one of the most successful defensive knife methods ever to be devised. From it's outset the experts have agreed that DRAWPOINT is the way to effective, sane, personal defense with an edged weapon. You see, DRAWPOINT is merely modified Pekiti Tersia Kali.
Traditional Filipino Kali is like any other martial art. To learn it to it's fullest requires years of dedicated practice. That's why I designed DRAWPOINT. It has all of the good aspects of Kali, but occupies a more streamlined tactical profile. Truly designed for today's world. Easy to learn, deadly in close range and fun to learn, those are the words that describe DRAWPOINT from Comtech." James A. Keating

James Keating is a Genius at taking the complex and making it simple, within reach of everyone. He is not new to this but has since the early 1990's been a leader in the area of Knife Combatives.

This series is the first and best instructional program on the use of knives drawpoint. It comes highly recommended by those in the "know". This series is a complete integrated approach.

Internal Damage Tai Chi

The world is filled with low grade to mediocre things so it is a rare thing and somthing to be valued when you find the real deal, especially in the area of the Internal Arts. Thanks to Johnny Williams the Karate Critic has found a source of just that Real, Real Functional Tai Chi, in the form of Internal Damage Tai Chi Good Stuff. Sifu Glen Harrison brings real world experience and top shelf Tai Chi Credentials to the table. The Karate Critic gives Internal Damage a place on the Top Shelf, I recomend it.

WTF

This is the worst self defense set that the Karate Critic has ever suffered through. Wow! Do Not Go in There!

Past Skills

Yamabushi (山伏) - Forest warrior monk.
The Yamabushi were ancient holy people from pre-recorded history who sought enlightenment through asceticism in the mountains. They were known for their shamanic powers of healing by the laying on of hands and the use of plants. The Yamabushi achieved deep philosophical knowledge and super natural powers through the study of self and nature. They had a fierce reputation for extreme feats of endurance and were respected for their arduous lifestyle, martial techniques, and in-depth mastery in the use of such weapons as the bow and arrow and the lance.

Past Skills is taught by Bill McConnell a long time student of the famous Tom Brown and an instructor in Tom Browns Courses. Bill and his wife conduct a six month emersion course in the way of the Yamabushi. This course covers everything from making fires, to the ancient philosophies, healing and the way of tracking.
