Dan Inosanto 1982

[CraneFistFighter]

haha nice, a young Paul Vunak

[TheMidavchik]

Master! Nothing to say!!!

[rkcsam69]

is that Vunak with Inosanto?

[KeitaThe1]

@rkcsam69 Yes that was Paul Vunak when he was younger.

[XiaoLinLong]

Dan Inosanto and Paul Vunak are truly legends in the martial arts and on their own level.

I love how this shows martial arts back in the 1800's when there were so much more hardcore training then there is now. and the hair was long haha

[mrprogjazzgto]

WOW.. this brings back great memories..!

I met Danny in 1981 at West Coast Tai Kwon Do in Milpitas & San Jose, CA.

Yes, Ernie Reyes Sr. was my master/teacher.!

Danny was a guest and helped us train for some up coming demonstrations

around California.

My arms and legs have never been better..!! Thanks Danny.!

[action690]

By 2:30 look how bored everyone looks! I took a seminar with Sifu Inosanto in the early '90's... great teacher!

[barinquecommunique]

@victorrain I've continued to learn Doce Pares Eskrima and JKD Concepts under GM Richard Bustillo, Inosanto's former partner at the old Filipino Kali Academy.

[MichaelVarcade]

is that effing paul vunak as a  yongster?

[johnnymac74]

Dan and Paul. Clasic

[barinquecommunique]

I was one of the participants at this week long seminar (Filipino guy in the yellow shirt). I believe this was one of our meetings after dinner. We trained all morning, broke for lunch, continued until dinner and then met up again in the evening for a demo such as this. If it looks like we're not interested it's because of the long day. Trust me, we were all motivated and honored to be there. Great footage of a great seminar. I have to find my own Super 8mm footage and upload it too.

[victorrain]

@barinquecommunique Do you know any other arts, besides Kali?

[sgtjoe2008]

most of Dan's students now are very good martial arts instructors....

[MyDanilo1985]

grandi personaggi!

[XiaoLongGungFu]

this is fantastic footage, thanks so much for posting it.

[chiefkea7]

No audio, but you can get the idea by observing. You don't always need words to learn. you definitely don't have to speak to learn. Some people need to learn to shut up! Let the teacher show you the way. Don't interrupt or you disrupt the flow. Like the groove of a song.

[jeffdoeskungfu]

Wow, it's like wing chun with sticks and knives.

[aedimus]

That has to be the most underwhelmed looking group of people. Honestly, you'd think they were watching a documentary on the history of Anarctican dirt.

[opti2007]

can't hear anything............poopie!

[PappaMusic]

ive only seen photos of this demonstration, thanks alot.

[BladeAndStick]

Awesome video, 2 icons to me in 1 clip.

[rhinojos]

Vu is agreat teacher, very approachable. Had some good times learning from Vu.

[kenaeda65]

Yes , bruce lee is the greatest and if he were alive today he would be studying own yu jitsu founded by Grandmaster (omega shadow) Chuck Norris

[syderwarp]

OMG look how young Paul Vunak looks! Love these 2 for last 20 yrs Peace to the two Gurus Dan n Paul. =)

[XxsteamerxX]

I could watch that all day

[mrprogjazzgto]

I was lucky..I had a few lessons from Dan in 1981 & 82 at West Coast TK in Milpitas & San Jose.

What he taught was incredible.

When it comes to weapons.. Dan is AWESOME.!

[AIMANALI]

HE IS REAL QUICK

[fullmetal610]

lol younger paul vunak

[clearcombat]

Dan, is his own man. He has moved away from JKD and has learned the Brazilian arts and Mauy Thai. These are real combat sports that teach you to drive thru your opponent. JKD is Bruce Lee's self expression of how to engage in combat. Not everyone has his skills.

[darkie1973]

@clearcombat JKD, as Bruce intended, was about the self-expression in combat - PERIOD. To say that Inosanto learning BJJ and Muay Thai is him 'moving away' from JKD, means that you don't really understand it. JKD, as Inosanto has ALWAYS taught it, is a CONCEPT. Bruce added,modified, and deleted techniques from any/all systems to his mother art of Wing Chun to created his personal expression of JKD, and wanted that for all his students; if he were alive today, he'd be training BJJ as well.

[carbonlaminate]

@darkie1973 I agree. He studied judo in Seattle. He studied wrestling. You can see that in "Enter the Dragon", when he fought Samo Hung in the opening of the movie.

[rickames]

@carbonlaminate HEY, until I read your post, I never knew that was Samo Hung. But after reading it & my memory went to the film, I've would've never guessed it was him. I always seen him as a larger person, till I never reconized him because he was smaller then. Thanks.

[Jeetkunedo1000]

@darkie1973 -if a time machine took bruce lee to 2010.....within a month bruce would be the champ of his weight class lmao lol

[LoganBruneau]

Haha man read on of Dan's books on JKD. In case you didnt know, JKD isnt much of a style. So I could do Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai and say that it is JKD. Besides, Bruce and Dan practiced Muay Thai and Jiujitsu together way back in the 60's, so they are incorporated in JKD. The true fighter understands the differences and simalarities between "combat sports" and real fighting. Real fighting is for battle, perhaps life and death. Combat sports is a game.

[carbonlaminate]

@LoganBruneau Lee spent time in Thailand for the filming of "The Big Boss". He never trained much in muay thai, if at all. Some years later at his school in California, he noticed one of his students was kicking particularly hard. This guy was Thai-American. Lee incorporated some of that technique into his rep. Dan Inosanto was formally trained in muay thai at the age of 42, which was some years after Lee's death. He said he "wanted to be trained like a figher".

[SHARKREEF2011]

@carbonlaminate where do u get your information?bruce lee had closed his school BEFORE the big boss was filmed.

so there is NO WAY h"he noticed one of his students was kicking harder" in bruces school.

i studied at the kali academy and told guru dan about a fake jkd school,that guru dan closed down,so i would like to know where u got your information,because if u r making this shit up,its not good.

[kalipfs]

hey why not everyone else is doing that and calling it JKD, but no its really a little more involved then that

[Gunandstrikes]

i think people who were direct brucelee's students have all rights to apply jeetkunedo because they were famliar with brucelee usually by his demonstrations and so on..and if you watched movies and decided to practice jeetkunedo it more likely trying to imitate brucelee than to find something really..

[jogobonito1234]

absolutely great video, thanks for posting it - if there's someone I'd have liked to train with, they would have been Inosanto and Vunak in the 80s and 90s.... and although JKD and especially MMAs have further progressed since then, I still think that the combat principles and skills of this great JKD school of those times are rich and effective.

Peace - cheers

[OZjamin]

Thanks a million sifupr for uploading this, just amazing to see a master and his apprentice at work.. or is that at play? I have enormous respect for both Dan and Paul..two truly exceptional practitioners, and, from what i hear and have experienced first hand, first class people as well.

[MiamiJeetKuneDo]

Phenomenal stuff!! I believe this is from "Demo Night" at Jay D'Amato's 1982 California Martial Arts Academy seminar at U of C in Irvine.

A lot of good people (instructors and students) during that era! CMAA continued in Irvine during '83 and then moved back to St. Louis for '84 and '85.

If we could only see more footage of those years!

[drjohnvito]

yes-it was-I shot the film and gave it to Phil to post-I was there for the whole week and also have clips of Jesse Glover and Grandmaster William Cheung-Dr John Crescione

[achk3003]

and the other one? he looks like paul vunak...

[bonzai276]

Yes that is Paul Vunak

[jkdsilat7]

Sifu/Guro Inosanto is simply the best instructor of all time. Thanks Sifu.

[Neotrigunnerx]

dan inosanto is amazing..all these years of mastery and still not controlled by ego.. he managed to learn brazilian jiu-jitsu even at an old age!! most ppl are closed minded by that time!!

[mrnarnar]

awesome hubud and other drills wish i could hear what the master is saying

[KiCreativeStudios]

I would NOT mess with Dan Inosanto.  He'd would give you a tail whippin' you'd never forget.

[tehnagabakti]

Man this is some great old footage. Guru Inosanto is just the Man!!

[jesuskopp]

I would love to learn from either one of these great men.

[OT711]

this is hypnotizing,

[Mcgooey]

lol at the 22 year old Paul Vunak.

[cimbe22]

aguante el kali

[Idig4ad]

They probably went to learn jun fan or jeet kune do,but instead he started doing kali and other philipino arts.Could be they are thinking this is not what Bruce lee taught.

[brucew22]

When Guro Dan teaches Kali, he doesn't call it JKD.

[KurtCobain198666]

Well he wouldn't call it kali anyway, they're two different arts.

[Godsmasher22]

Those people who don't seem interested really annoy me. Most people just don't get it.

[Xanthosine]

The girl on the chair @ 2:25 looks like so interested. Like our politicians, I guess we all prefer our martial artists either old or dead.

[wailofoshan]

Great Master !!!!

[dss103]

How tall is Paul Vunak?

[Mcgooey]

I think TRS said 5'9 in one of their ads.

[thesilverfingered1]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEAK!

[BruceLeeFan1990]

I sometimes wonder if 80s or even 90s Inosanto could beat 70s Bruce... It is clear in the 70s Bruce was the better man but with an extra decade or so who would be the better fighter?

[JunFanJKDfighter]

Would never happen. Inosanto is too honorable a man to go against his teacher like that.

[pbl1]

hey, could you spell his name right in title. not just respect, but it makes the youtube searches easier

[sifupr]

The typo has been fixed. Thanks for the heads up.

[Ponstr]

Fucken Hell, where'd Sifu Dan learn all this stuff from? Fucken Brilliant!

[tenrazo215]

he was Bruce's student.

[smyphoria1]

"he was Bruce's student"

He was.. but don't confuse what he's showing as a demo of what Bruce taught him. These are Filipino techniques, albeit awesome ones, they are not JKD.

[VulcanZoar]

Right. Good comment,

[gnicevids]

no he taught bruce about the filipino arts

[LordofKamarra]

he didnt necesarily teach bruce, he may have shown him some, but i recall guru dan saying at his seminar that bruce simply warned him to beware the flashy style of kali

[gnicevids]

no he taught bruce about philopino arts. People think Bruce just knew everything, he didn't he was taught.

[mr007tycoon]

I'm guessing the student Dan is using to instruct here is Paul Vunak?

[bladesaint21]

Its definately Paul Vunak. I just didn't know Dan Insoanto was so much shorter.

[mr007tycoon]

Dan's 5'6"

[1fightforright23]

He is a short guy and his so nice as a person you just want hug him

[daffodill69]

amazing.... really amazing

[MartialArtsSystems]

Great!!!!

[TRiiiGER26]

Yes it is

[renoboy666]

Dan Inosanto's fluidity and speed have always impressed me. I appreciate the way he teaches by showing the concept behind a strike or a counter move, whether with the sticks, a knife, or empty-handed. The "best" drill, of course, is actual sparring, but flow drills and sensitivity drills allow one to get a lot of repetition and to work the various lines/angles of attack and defense.

[spadaydaga]

At the very end of the tape, Dan and Paul seem to be doing the Villabrille Numberado drill from Largusa / Villabrille Kali. This is very rare!!! It's hard to find anybody who does that drill anymore.

[FaJingPower]

Great classic footage !

[silentflt]

its good but not effective, its a show off stuff just like bruce faken lee , the movie martial artist dude

[FaJingPower]

naive idiot

[JamenZ]

This is wonderful ....

[wingchunrobi]

Dan Inosanto & Paul Vunak the best JKD-Kali practioners whos ever seen before. Very very good masters.

Robert Tailor

[pmatsusa]

WOW!! AWESOME!

[55stingray]

The seminar was great. It had a few Instructors there. I was there, William cheung, Sifu Glover, and others. It was film in Calf.

[leevancleef123]

Excellent a very young Paul Vunak with Guru Dan.

[hlb101]

Guru is the King of Martial Arts world.

[zeerebel]

awesome !!!!

[JKD74KING]

Great stuff by two elite martial artists!! Nice little blast from the past!

Is it just that my hearing is bad or is there just no sound to this video? Would be nice to hear what Sifu Dan has to say.

[sifupr]

The footage was shot with an old 8mm camera with no sound

[AIMANALI]

Does anyone have the complete seminar. This is rare

[sl0thlee]

crazy video..thanks for upload Si-Bak!

[smiley32s]

Dan Inosanto and Paul Vunak are both incredible martial artists.

[WSLGLVT]

Dan ,,,one of the last ,,few,,, true =)

[pbxgod]

Thanks for posting this, good stuff.
