The 1988 issue of Black Belt magazine featured Paul Vunak, the renowned master of Jeet Kune Do, Kali, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. A dedicated student of Dan Inosanto, Vunak spent more than three decades refining his craft under the tutelage of one of Bruce Lee’s closest disciples.
The cover story explored Vunak’s dynamic interpretation of Kali, highlighting his innovative approach to blending Filipino martial arts with the principles of Jeet Kune Do.
His work emphasized adaptability, realism, and fluid motion — hallmarks that would later influence generations of martial artists.
Rare archival photos capture Vunak in action, demonstrating the precision and efficiency of his Kali techniques during this pivotal era in his career.
