Matt Thornton – Functional Jeet Kune Do

They were an immediate classic, igniting a firestorm of debate and being a crucial trigger in a Martial Arts training revolution that is currently going on throughout the world! Black Belt magazine named them one of the best five self-defense films of all time.
According to martial arts video reviews: “If you only buy one bundle of films this year, make it these.
If you feel that the martial arts have evolved over the previous few decades, from Bruce Lee to the Gracies to the all-around warriors of today, you will want to view these recordings.
Buy these cassettes if you have to sell your body to medical research or your sister to an Arab oil sheik!”
One of the top five most popular videos of all time! Matt’s second series, like the first, included interviews, fight video, and guest instructors, and it quickly became one of the most well-received MMA instructional sets.
