Glover, who was Bruce Lee's first student and his Assistant Instructor, took the work he learned from Bruce and continued to refine it into his sticking concept for more than 40 years.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pierre Hartmann is a long-time student of Jesse R. Glover, he was also the pioneer of bringing Non-Classical Gung Fu into Switzerland, France, England, and Germany. From this developed a strong foundation for those wishing to study NCKF in Europe from people who have a strong lineage background from Jesse and Ed Hart to this day long-time practitioners of this process share their knowledge with students in Europe. Pierre Hartmann is a real pioneer.<br />
<br />
In this clip, he shares some of his work with Close Quarter Work that he has learned by applying Non-Classical Kung Fu and Fook Yuneg Kune.<br />

<br />
"We are what we continually do; excellence then is not an act excellence is a habit." Plato<br />
<br />
"it is the task, not the employer, that is served" "the doing matters more than the attainment or reward" Sherpa belief. from The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen<br />
<br />
We bring value to what we do.<br />
<br />
This is an attitude that would serve well for those wanting to learn a skill like Martial Arts, dive into the experience, swim in it. It is the experience, not the teacher, not the belt or the title the experience changes us. Some time take time learn some.<br />
<br />
How do you want to move? Begin moving in that way.<br />
<br />
What are the benefits of having a teacher? Teachers should be able to model a behavior show corrections and give motivation. We as students should be open to correction and bring our own creative thinking and critical eye to the process.<br />
<br />
Learning is what this is about. Not practicing something fixed. Innovation is what we are after. Adaptability is key to what we do.<br />

Worden for a new experience today. Datu Worden invited me to interview with him on his radio program "On the Edge". It was really nice to remember our teachers and friends. The interview will be played tomorrow for AM listeners from 12 to 1 Pacific Time. It will also be available to stream the program from the Radio Station Web page at that same time.
