Economy of Motion and Multiple Opponents

This is a very cool video, from a great JKD and Kali practitioner by the name of Rick Faye. He has a great program in Minnesota, and I think you will find his teaching refreshing.

Check out his YouTube Channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/MinnesotaKaliGroup

Posted by Sifu Vito on Aug 21, 2011 in Movies

I’m just curious of how many of you are planning on seeing the new Underworld movie. As a fan of the series, I can’t wait to see the fight choreography and the special effects. I hope Underworld Awakening is as good as the original.

This is a very powerful creed. It helps us to understand the mindset of those that put their lives on the line in service to our country. This is posted with the utmost respect. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Happy Birthday Guro Dan

Posted by Sifu Vito on Jul 24, 2011 in Martial Arts

We at Elite Martial Arts, would like to wish Guro Daniel Inosanto a Happy 75th Birthday. He is truly an inspiration, and I am proud to be one of his students.

Every time I am fortunate enough to train with him, I am amazed by his caring heart, and his graciousness. He is the epitome of a great martial artist, and an even better man.

I am blessed to know him, and I am a better man because of his inspiration.

Happy Birthday Guro.

The Passing of a Legend

Posted by Sifu Vito on Jul 20, 2011 in Uncategorized

Thirty Eight years ago today (July 20, 1973) the world mourned the passing of Bruce Lee. So today, we think not of his death, instead we focus on his life and his achievements.

His achievements in martial arts are legendary but more importantly he was an inspiration to many. He encouraged out of the box thinking, and challenged others to better themselves.

His influence can still be seen in movies and popular culture to this day.

He will always be missed, and will always serve as an inspiration to us all.

(November 27, 1940 – July 20, 1973)

Congratulations on Passing the Black Belt Test

Posted by Sifu Vito on Jul 17, 2011 in Adult Martial Arts, Elite Martial Arts

Congratulations to our first graduating Black Belt Class. DeWayne Barbee, Peter Belmont, Ian McIntosh, and Dane Rahaman-Singh.

You all did a phenomenal job on the test. I am extremely proud of each and every one of you.

The test was extremely long and challenging, and you all rose to the challenge and did an exceptional job.

Simo Jen and I would also like to thank Mark, Shawn, Joe, Dan, and Brandon. We couldn’t have had such a great test without your help. You really helped to push our new Black Belts to excellence and we appreciate all your hard work.

In closing I would just like to say that I was extremely proud to see the level of encouragement and support each of our students showed. It was truly inspiring.
