Tim Tackett: Jeet Kune Do Master
Tim Tackett: Jeet Kune Do Master |
Tackett first saw Bruce Lee in 1967 at Ed Parker’s International Karate Tournament. He decided then and there to study jeet kune do. Unfortunately, Tackett wasn’t able to begin JKD training until after Lee’s Chinatown school had officially closed. To fill the void, Dan Inosanto ran classes from the gym in his backyard. When Tackett joined the backyard class in 1971, there were only about 10 students in the class. Today, those students make up the who’s who of jeet kune do. Tackett has continued to refine his skills with first-generation JKD student Bob Bremer and written extensively about the art with Bremer in Chinatown Jeet Kune Do: Essential Elements of Bruce Lee's Martial Art. In 2010, Tackett followed up the original with Chinatown Jeet Kune Do Volume 2: Training Methods of Bruce Lee’s Martial Art. Building on JKD theories and concepts from the first volume, Tackett concentrates on practice and applications in the second book. Click here for more profiles!
