hi gusy does anyone train with this gent? Is he good? are either his JKD or MMA classes worth taking? thanks i am considering going there and would like to hear what he is like www.guildfordjkd.co.uk/
and a quick video for you too [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsOWjB2IhxY"]YouTube - Terry Valler JKD[/ame]
I have not met or trained with Terry, but his lineage is good, certainly in terms of the JKD. Based on the above I would definately give it a look.
i am no expert admittedly but he looks distinctively average compared to emil martirossian?? just my 2 cents [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Suqnmss2UJc"]YouTube - Fast & Explosive Jeet - Kune - Do training.[/ame] but none the less, i may be wrong
You should check it out before making up your mind. As for the last video, there is nothing special there, especially against an opponent who looks about 15 years old. Any decent instructor should be doing that and a whole lot more.
go check him out and make your own mind up, not everyone is suited to everyone but he is good in my opinion.. the second video wasnt bad either, just his students need to learn to hold the pads properly as I would be able to knock them over if they stood like that holding the pads for me, it aint that difficult.
I found it as good stuff at 2.45-2.57min and 6.47-7.11 min [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVAU0FLCcGU"]YouTube - Jun Fan JEET KUNE DO[/ame]
lets watch some takedowns wich can be used by anybody: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_R_ujYVdD0"]YouTube - jkd[/ame]
Hey guys, I've trained with Terry a couple of times and can vouch that he's a top bloke who knows his stuff. As others have said, I would say to go and see what you think of what he offers.
For JKD, if that's your vice, then go and train with him. From what I can see he doesn't produce any fighters for MMA which is always a big no-no when looking for an MMA place to train.
Exactly. Plenty of guys who look ok on the pads, sparring - not so much. Thats not a knock on Terry btw, his stuff looks ok. Also, massive LOL at Emil Martirossian.
Not a personal attack on Mr Vader by me either,each individual technique looks cool but when you dont get any resitance or reaction from the attackers the best we can say is it looks good
Here are a couple sparring videos from guys in Terry's class: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGom8-r_Vac"]YouTube - MMA sparring, Terry Valler JKD/MMA Academy. Paul vs. Richard.‏[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCRZ13jVF8Y"]YouTube - MMA sparring. Terry Valler Academy. Jeremy vs Tom.‏[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkheEzjfXtU"]YouTube - MMA Sparring. Terry Valler Academy. Simon v Nick.‏[/ame] Let's just say I'm not blown away. Here is a video of Terry, with one of his senior students (I assume). [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLjSm8oXcSU"]YouTube - MMA Sparring. Terry Valler Academy. Terry Vs Paul 2.‏[/ame] Which isn't bad, but not mind blowing either. Compare it to this mind blowing JKD video.
