Ahead of it's time known by few


Just a small bit of inside trivia to those who enjoyed the Movie "In Like Flint" with The Late James Coburn.
Years ago as a teenager I was fortunate enough to attend a small school in Gardena, Calif. with a martial art known as Jeet Kune Do, taught by what is known now as a legend Bruce Lee & Mr. Danny Inasonto.
Few people know that James Coburn was also a student in the school and all the fighting techniques that Mr. Coburn used in the Movie were influenced by alot of his teachings.
If you are old enough ( guess I'm exposing my age here ) you would know and realize that those combat techniques were really ahead of it's time which we have to give credit ultimately to His teachings.
I was fortunate enough to also be in the right place in history at the right time and went on to become and instructor martial arts for what now 35 years later was my lifetime.
In memory of both Mr. James Coburn and Mr. Bruce Lee.
