JKD Concepts - Guro Inosanto

I can't put into words how influential Guro Inosanto has been in my life by sharing the art with Guro Petri and Guro Rogers and the countless others that I have worked with as well as my personal contact with him.

It is a testament to Guro Inosanto when you see his skill, patience and willingness to share and sacrifice, for others to pass on the arts for the future generations.

This man has a true love for his fellow man.

For me the attribute of selflessness is one of the most striking traits of Guro Inosanto and the Inosanto International Martial Arts Association , that I find so endearing.

During this years Apex Martial Arts St Louis 4 day seminar I went to a dinner to honor Guro Inosantos' Birthday. It was so moving to hear countless people attest to how this man had reached out and touched so many lives in such a selfless manner. Guro has saved many lives with the art by sharing with his instructors, LEO and the military, but he has also saved lives by bringing the art to many people looking for something better. He has saved many people by giving them their art, a focus if you will, a meaning for their lives and a method to express themselves in a positive manner, in a mixed up world.

You are never alone if you have your art. Turn to it in your dark days and all will be well. Thank you Guro Inosanto for my art and your willingness to share your wisdom.

Happy Birthday Guro Inosanto,

Thank you,

Terry Crutcher
