In primary freedom, one utilizes all ways,and is bound by none...
This is the philosophy of Guru Dan Inosanto lider of the Inosanto Martial Arts Academy(Philiphino based Martial Art). He is a student of Bruce Lee and well known in the Hollywood world.
His students call him a Guru witch means the one who teaches others and he truly lives up to the name.
On Jan 12-Th I participated to one of his 6 hours long seminar hosted in Denver. We started the worm up with a 6 move combination. At age 71 he is a living legend. His precision in moves and technique , balance and speed , number of combinations(we did about 100 in 6 hours)is impressive.It was an mentally challenging six hours starting with punching and kicking, take down, ground defense, escrima sticks, knifes etc. He gives out 8 combinations at a time and luckily if we remember one.And that's what he wanted, us to be able to filter what is best for our body. It is truly hard to describe the entuziasm and the mental challenge but i am so happy i had the chanse to experience it.
Between his advises i can number some: be open minded about martial arts, each stile have something to offer, learn from everyone(teacher ,students, friends ,parents),
be adaptable in life,do mistakes but not the same many times,use the technique that is best for you, be disciplined and obedient.
If anybody have a chance to come across his seminars or teachings I highly recommend it.
