Description

Jerry Poteet (November 29, 1936 – January 15, 2012) was an American martial arts instructor, recognized for his teachings in the art of Jeet Kune Do as an original Bruce Lee student.Jerry Poteet was known by many as “the conscience of Jeet Kune Do.” After the death of his teacher, Jerry stood firm, refusing to water down the art that had such an enormous impact in his life. In fact, Jerry credited his teacher, Bruce Lee, with giving him the tools to survive, “the fight of my life”, when he was compelled to undergo a liver transplant in 1995. Until his death, Jerry taught Jeet Kune Do to the next generation of students and instructors, who will keep the flame alive. Sifu Poteet taught martial arts for over 40 years. Like many young men in the 1960s, Jerry began his martial arts career in Kenpo, and became a black belt under renowned Kenpo Instructor Ed Parker. Poteet was also selected to be in a “closed door” group of five students. In the years since, Jerry used his martial arts expertise to train the Dallas Cowboys football team, executive bodyguard Hollywood celebrities, and choreograph the fight scenes of several motion pictures.DVD Series1Volume 1 – Footwork &StructureVolume 2 – Dynamics of HittingVolume 3 – TrappingVolume 4 – Five ways AttackVolume 5 – Training Equipment
