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.
California Martial Arts Academy in Irvine. I was there also, looks like the same one, and you are right by the end of the day we were dead.. I trained with Larry Hartsell and Tim Tackett
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.!
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!
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.
Back in 89 I went to a 2 day seminar by Dan, Larry Hartsell, and Master Chai, in Australia, the guy's in the background are f*** ing exhausted the mental and knowledge input he gives you is HUGE, it's a good idea to get his DVD's, by the time you get home you forget about 2 thirds of the information, you really get value for your money from all the JKD people.
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.!
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
@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.
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.
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.
The sad thing about Dan Inosanto is there is only one of him and everyone wants to be trained by him some of his instructors Paul Vunak for one train seals in Knife Fighting the demand for his time would be great the good news is he has trained many great Martial Artists and they are starting to spread around the world he has helped many
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.
@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.
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.
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
Pretty sure this was the California martial arts academy in Irvine, I will have to match up the pictures I have of that day. unless sifupr can shed some light. Also that is Paul
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
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.
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.
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.
@@dannydevito4899 Carruthers never spars and has he ever even been in a streetfight? Likely not. And look at his videos for 25 years....he is always against a compliant opponent who does no attack or real defense to TC moves at all. They just stand as his personal dummy. And 99% of the demos he does are rehearsed BS. And again....ever seen ONE video of him sparring? Nope. Nada. Nix. Nothing. And to say Carruthers has more skills than Inosanto...not only shows your absolute ignorance and cluelessness to reality, but is also beyond laughable.

Nice to see folks sharing the knowledge 👍
Man this is some great old footage. Guru Inosanto is just the Man!!
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.!
I could watch that all day
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.

Great classic footage !
Vu is agreat teacher, very approachable. Had some good times learning from Vu.
The seminar was great. It had a few Instructors there. I was there, William cheung, Sifu Glover, and others. It was film in Calf.

Was Dan as quick as he looks in this video ?
No he was faster so you can understand how fast Bruce Lee was.
COLIN WEIR cool. did he mention Bruce lee attribute in the seminar ?
Yes, he would go into a lot of detail with a lot, he also seems to know a lot about the history of a lot of other arts and styles.
COLIN WEIR nice, o what did he say about BRUCE's speed.? (last question lol )
Dan Inosanto and Paul Vunak are both incredible martial artists.
This is wonderful ....
Dan is a PRO!!!!! BIG TIME!!!! And so is Paul Vunak!!!!
WOW.. this brings back great memories..!

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

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

Dan ,,,one of the last ,,few,,, true =)
awesome !!!!
Dan and Paul. Clasic
I would love to learn from either one of these great men.
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.
Master! Nothing to say!!!
By 2:30 look how bored everyone looks! I took a seminar with Sifu Inosanto in the early '90's... great teacher!
most of Dan's students now are very good martial arts instructors....
@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.

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.
The footage was shot with an old 8mm camera with no sound
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
Yes that is Paul Vunak
Guru is the King of Martial Arts world.
Its definately Paul Vunak. I just didn't know Dan Insoanto was so much shorter.
Pretty sure this was the California martial arts academy in Irvine, I will have to match up the pictures I have of that day. unless sifupr can shed some light. Also that is Paul
Dan is a REAL PRO and so is Paul Vunak. Thank GOD I have some training in Kali for I can pick up the moves otherwise it would have been difficult!
HE IS REAL QUICK
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
Wow, it's like wing chun with sticks and knives.
no he taught bruce about the filipino arts
Does anyone have the complete seminar. This is rare
no he taught bruce about philopino arts. People think Bruce just knew everything, he didn't he was taught.
haha nice, a young Paul Vunak
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.
@barinquecommunique Do you know any other arts, besides Kali?
hey, could you spell his name right in title. not just respect, but it makes the youtube searches easier
How tall is Paul Vunak?
is that effing paul vunak as a yongster?
and the other one? he looks like paul vunak...
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.
