Jesse Glover, Bruce Lee's first student and assistant, spent an astounding eight hours, divided into two days, through the course of the weekend providing instruction on some Non-Classical Gung-Fu such as closing, trapping, as well as other drills and techniques.
Through the course of the weekend, Mr. Glover was kind enough to show amazing applications of his art and was more than willing to demonstrate and guide each and every participant on any step they could not take alone. His kindness showed up to your training area before he did and his knowledge stayed behind to help you even when he walked to the next group of practitioners. His friendliness was easily felt by each and every martial artist that attended this seminar, regardless of belt color, years of practice, or level of skill and each individual participating was blessed by his attention. Beyond the instruction and course content, as well as beyond Jesse's presence, the attendance was peppered with teachers, school owners, private practitioners as well as beginning students; including the majority of the student base from our own school, which we were thankful for the representation.
The quality of instruction and the pleasure of experience of this event was without doubt or question and the amount of information gained was without parallel. We were exhausted at the end of this momentous event but excited to play with what we learned and thankful for Jesse's willingness to give us his time and energy.
If you are ever given the opportunity to spend time learning from Jesse Glover, do what ever it takes to commit to it because you will walk away with something that will stay with you forever.
