Petition to include him in the list of National Artists in the Philippines for promoting FMA. Glad to see him get that award.

I knew Bruce and Dan were good friends but It's cool to hear Dan say that Bruce was his "BEST friend at that time period". Epic partnership! Great video! Thanks for sharing!

@jdjohn4360 3 года назад

They were best friends How lucky for Dan , to be taught and respected by Bruce. Dans the man who continues the Legacy of Bruce and JKD. I don’t think anyone knew Bruce as well as Dan. Dan used to speak about Bruce and their situations at times during classes. Fascinating!

@mock61921 7 лет назад

Bruce Lee obviously left way too early. Credit goes to Mr. Inosanto for doing a great deal of the heavy lifting in popularizing Jeet Kune Do. Both are very admirable masters.

As alot of us have commented, I too, had the privilege to train many times with Guro Inosanto, the late Guro Hartsell, Arjon Chi Sarisute, the late Herman Sawanda and a host of other influential martial artist greats over the years. They were for me, informative and inspirational through my own personal martial path within the FMA. God bless them all.

@MrGTO-ze7vb 7 лет назад

I had the privilege and honor of meeting Dan in the yearly 1980's at West Coast Taekwondo in Milpitas CA. Dan liked my quick boxing and kicking skills and he was happy to show me eskrima and nunchaku sticks. It was fantastic to talk and train with Dan about his teaching Bruce Lee the same techniques. What Dan taught me in just a few days showed me a totally different side of Martial Arts. Thank you Master!!!

@alancat2705 5 лет назад

yep Guro Dan is a great teacher , very informative on all aspects of the fighting arts . It was a priviledge and honour to train with him in the 1980's and with the Late Larry Hartsell on the JKD grappling . I was a judoka then of 17 years experience and Hartsell just threw it out the window by showing me the confines of my art ..and how to expand upon and take advantage of other grappling arts !... really years ahead of the field and time ; the concepts of Lee and Inosanto have projected the arts decades forward towards the reality of combat !.

I knew that Bruce Lee learned to use the sticks from Dan Inosanto, but until now I just thought he learned it for the movies, I had no idea that they actually sparred a lot using them. Also it was funny to hear Dan say Bruce Lee did not want to learn the basics and just said here try to hit me with it. lol That's one way of learning.

They sparred with the Kempo gloves Bruce Lee invented. Dan said he was dizzy after sparring with Lee in Long Beach.

I would even be so bold and say that Dan and Bruce were co-creators of Jeet Kun Do. Bruce took his foundation of Wing Chun and tested it against Dan's Filipino arts, discussing and making improvements along the way. They taught each other.

He appeared to be an all round good man and gone too soon. RIP

@mestizoboy 5 лет назад

As stated in the vid, I'm of the Filipino-American persuasion. I've never understood (and my family always does the shoulder-shrug when asked) why some Filipinos (I don't hear this with old-school Ilocanos) pronounce the English and/or Spanish letter "c" in the Italian manner (not in the Spanish manner), as English "ch" ( @ 0:26 Ignacio = "Ignacho" ) or English "sh" (Hacienda = "ashienda"). Secondly, too many people mention Stockton as if it's the only place in the SJ Valley where Filipinos lived; There were many thousands of Filipinos all along the Central Valley and coastal ag-towns. Remember: The UFW's table grape strike was basically started by Larry Itliong in Delano -Hours away from Stockton.

I was honored to attend many Dan Inosanto seminars throughout the 80's, all across the East coast from Chicago to Florida. I also attended the first Silat seminar in VA, (when Dan brought in Pendekar Paul Detours and his bother Victor). Pendekar Paul also was a humble gentleman, and I call it an honor to say the least to have met and trained with them both. They are the sum of what I call Masters, not just in technique and or application, but with their lifestyle and influence on those around them. Sad to hear of the passing of Pendekar Paul a few years back, so if you are lucky enough to meet and train with Sifu Dan, I hope you can appreciate him for the man he is and for what he has done for the Martial Arts, and the impact he has had on so many lives. It simply doesn't get any better than that.

Doubt it. Guro Dan is known for his patience and allowing others to show him their stuff. That is very different than being Guro Dan’s TEACHER. Sorry to break the news to you. Everyone likes to claim they taught Guro Dan to elevate themselves. I would bet one of my fingers You were lied to or are lying yourself.
