Today marks 52 years since the world lost Bruce Lee, a man whose impact transcended martial arts, cinema, and culture. Though his time on Earth was short, his legacy roars louder than ever.

Thank you, Bruce, for your fire, your wisdom, and your fearless pursuit of authenticity! Your spirit continues to inspire us every day. It is a privilege and a great honor to continue to teach the art he created all those years ago.

JPJKD students Jason Scott Lee and Glenn Danzig pose together at a Horror Convention circa 1996. Jason had just played Jeet Kune Do founder Bruce Lee in the biopic Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Jason was trained by Jerry Poteet, an original Bruce Lee student, and Fran Poteet-Joseph. Both of whom also did the JKD choreography for the film. Danzig said, "This is the best movie about Bruce Lee to date and that Jason did an amazing job as the martial arts icon". Great memories!

Our Story

In the late 60's, Sifu Jerry Poteet was fortunate enough to be chosen as the second student admitted to Bruce Lee’s Chinatown School back in LA. He was also selected to be in a “closed door” group of five students, who trained with Bruce Lee twice a week. Jerry Poteet’s Jeet Kune Do™ now led by Sifu Fran Joseph, is an association of Sifu Jerry Poteet’s students, certified instructors, martial artists, and friends with a passion for the martial art and philosophies of Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do. Often referred to as “Keeper of the Flame” and “The Conscience of Jeet Kune Do”, Jerry Poteet spent his life living and teaching Jeet Kune Do to a new generation of students. In the late 60’s, Sifu Jerry Poteet was fortunate enough to be chosen as the second student admitted to Bruce Lee’s Chinatown School back in LA. He was also selected to be in a “closed door” group of five students, who trained with Bruce Lee twice a week. “Philosophy In Motion®”, Jerry Poteet was one of Bruce Lee’s first students, privately trained at Bruce Lee’s home and in Chinatown, Los Angeles with an small elite group.

Jerry Poteet represented a living yin yang – hard and soft. His energy and power were distinctive while his compassion and gentleness were endless. With the spirit of a philosopher and the force of unmistakable power, he not only taught Jeet Kune Do as Bruce Lee taught it to him; he shared experiences and wisdom to teach strategy, compassion, efficiency, power, self-awareness, and to live a life unfettered. Through his unique stories and creative analogies, Jerry Poteet simplified the art and life itself for each student.

While many knew of Jerry Poteet’s work through film and choreography, including “Dragon, the Bruce Lee Story”, where he and his wife Sifu Fran Poteet-Joseph trained Jason Scott Lee, his greatest gifts were to those who knew him personally.

He was many things to many people; yet always the same person sharing his energy to all he came into contact with. He was and still is to many of us – a sifu, a teacher, a friend, and an inspiration… The Gold Light. Now students can learn Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do from his renowned student Jerry Poteet online! Step by step “closed door” instruction from the man Inside Kung-Fu magazine called, “ the greatest Jeet Kune Do instructor in the world.” Get authentic, from the source training, tips and information that are guaranteed to elevate your Jeet Kune Do!
