MATT NUMRICH – JEET KUNE DO SUMMIT SEMINAR | Digital Download

Description

We all know that finding solid Jeet Kune Do instruction is getting harder and harder. Trying to find a reputable instructor in your area is often difficult enough (if there is one). If you try to browse Youtube for JKD videos, you’ll be confused by the disorganized mix of topics, instructors and bits of information. The constant searching and rushing around can leave even the most motivated person depressed and wasting a lot of time. These are just two of the reasons why I created the JKD Newsletter and the JKD Summit Seminars, which were held last March in Chicago. It was an avalanche of information about Jeet Kune Do that kept even the most experienced practitioner busy!
What made this event so powerful? Having a wide range of instructors teaching everything from Kick Boxing to Ground Fighting, Weapons to Close Quarters, traditional moves to contemporary concepts, techniques to drills, hands-on training to extremely interesting philosophy.

I would love to say that this was an easy event to organize. But it wasn’t. It was very time consuming, extremely expensive to place, and a logistical nightmare. 5 Instructors from across the US, leading 5 in-person seminars, plus 5 online streams, participants from over a dozen states and viewers from around the world. But all the hard work my dedicated team and I put in paid off with an incredible experience.

Here is a brief summary of what is covered by each instructor:
