In our last podcast, we were speaking to Leo Rodriguez about how he was introduced to Dit Da Jow by one of our guests today, Sifu Felix Macias. Sifu Felix is a second generation instructor of Jeet Kune Do in its original form. His father Felix Macias, Sr. trained under the great Kung Fu Sifu James Yimm Lee, the man that introduced Bruce Lee to iron palm training. They were all part of the Original Jeet Kune Do club in Oakland, California.
Our interview also includes guest Master Alexander Witthar, who is a freestyle artist and a 10x Masters of Martial Art Hall of Famer. He was also a gold medalist in Tae Kwon Do in the Pan American Games in 1996. Both Sifu Felix and Master Alex are current instructors at the Original Oakland Jeet Kune Do and conduct seminars on the classical principles of JKD.
We are also joined in this interview by the first owner of Plum Dragon Herbs, Josh Walker. He currently works as a senior software engineer and runs the central U.S. chapter for the Tabimina Balintawak Group, a combative style of martial arts that originated in the Philippines.
During our discussion, Sifu Felix shares some of the history of the original Oakland JKD and what it was like to be among some of the greatest martial artists, James Lee and Bruce Lee. We also discuss iron palm training and Dit Da Jow.
