What are the proper titles in JKD?
I see the some instructor label themselves Sifu, Guro, Guru,Punang Guro ect... What does the wednesday night group call themselves? Can you also explain the phases a JKD student has to rise throught to achieve a title or instructorship.

Thank you...

Each group is different. We don't use titles. It's more like friends and family. To be an instructor under us you would need to train with one of our instructors. When he feels that you know and can do and can teach JKD, you can be an instructor.

Joe,
Thanks for the kind words. Where do you study JKD? I may be in Wales in January.
