In Seattle we have probably the highest concentration of students of Bruce Lee in the world, and indeed, Bruce Lee is buried in Seattle. I've met several and practiced with some of his ex-students, and have pictures thereof. As I watched this fellow, who claims to have studied under a couple of Bruce Lee's Seattle students, I can believe it. His natural talent is apparent, but he also "gets' Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun.
His natural talent is shown in his speed, accuracy and power. His training is shown in his technical excellence. One of his videos is on JKD and Aikido, which has perplexed some of the viewers of his videos. Perhaps they came hoping to see Jeet Kune Do Vs Aikido, but no, they see a JKD grand master doing aikido, as well as JKD. And not only doing aikido, but the kind that looks most ridiculous! "I am kneeling, grab my wrist!" The mind boggles. But but but... aikido is BS, and it does not work!
What's up with the aikido? Is he for real here...? Sure, why not? It is what aikido looks like. He is also adding it to the end of JKD moves. Indeed, the stepping on the toes is pure Bernie Lau Sensei.
Martirossian Sifu seems to be a beginner at the aikido as aikido, but his application in JKD is world-class. Perhaps this is merely documenting how he is weaving in what he can use from classic aikido into JKD, rather the selling point of JKD... "what works..."
Jesse Glover, who wrote a book on his training with Bruce Lee in the early days used to come by our aikido dojo at 306 S Main and watch us for hours. Some of his students joined us, for the intensity level at which we practiced and the principles which were taught were useful. I would never say aikido had a lot of influence on any of these people, since most of aikido, as a martial art is nothing new to most martial artists. Just interesting differences, and maybe some clearly stated principles.
Aristotle said to be interesting you had to be different. Just so.
