figure

He has more than 30 years of fighting training experience. After training in judo, Brazilian jujitsu, wrestling, karate, boxing, wing chun and non-traditional kungfu, I finally chose Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do as my main study direction.

Growing up in the infamous streets of Glasgow East, he admired Jeet Kune Do because of its special environment.

achievement

Tommy has also made some achievements in western boxing and received several letters of appointment inviting him to become a professional boxer. "For Tommy, although he seems to be better at boxing, boxing is not Jeet Kune Do after all. Unfortunately, there is no Jeet Kune Do Club in his area. Tommy can only train by himself. By reading the materials, he is completely immersed in all kinds of things related to Jeet Kune Do and constantly pushes himself to the limit. He participated in various Jeet Kune Do seminars in Europe, but he didn't take it seriously. " I feel that what they teach will not be of much use in street fighting, and that is where you can really verify the usefulness of the technology you have learned. "Finally, an article written by Gary Deere in the American Kung Fu magazine touched him. He agreed with every sentence in the article, so he studied hard according to the above words and called Gary Deere. Gary Deere was a student of the late Yan Jinghai and a teaching assistant disciple of Bruce Lee in Auckland. Because of his contact with Gary Deere, he was invited by Deere to the United States to give a lot of lectures and training as a Jeet Kune Do coach.

Gradually, he caught Jesse Glover's attention. Glover was the first student and teaching assistant accepted by Bruce Lee. He recommended Tommy to Howard Williams, the best and most respected student in Bruce Lee, and Joe Bodner, a disciple of Bruce Lee. Tommy's coaching certificate was also awarded by Joe Bodner. Finally, Joe Bodner officially introduced Tommy to everyone at the Jeet Kune Do core meeting of more than 200 people. In recent years, Tommy has been training and keeping in touch with some respected Jeet Kune Do practitioners around the world, including Tim Tyter and Bruce Lee's former disciple Bob Bremer. Over the years, tommy carruthers has won a reputation as a real fighter, and his rigorous training alone is enough to amaze most athletes (practitioners from competitive sports). This is especially true for the study of Jeet Kune Do. Tommy Chruse and Tommy came to win the title of "White Bruce Lee". His admiration for simplicity and actual combat stems from his growing up in the notorious streets of Glasgow East, where the unemployment rate is extremely high and violent crimes remain high.

In 2002, Tommy came to Geneva at the invitation of the Swiss branch of the Chinese Boxing Association and publicly demonstrated his superb skills at the Swiss Expo. Recently, he continued to explain and demonstrate the techniques and tactics of Jeet Kune Do in several autobiographical documentaries of Bruce Lee, including the famous Follow the Dragon's Footsteps (narrated by Jesse Glover) and HOWBRUCELEECHANGEDTHEWORLD recently produced by American History Channel.

Tommy carruthers's teaching principle has always been "try to teach Jeet Kune Do in the way that Bruce Lee expects"; "Only when you are sure that the techniques you teach can be effectively applied to self-defense activities in real life, will you teach these techniques to students." Therefore, his training and teaching achieved good results, which was affirmed by Bruce Lee's family and Bruce Lee's disciples.

evaluate

"In addition to him (Tommy carruthers), I haven't seen anyone who can compete with Bruce Lee. Tommy even approached Bruce Lee in some ways. There is no doubt that Tommy is the second in Bruce Lee. This guy is great. It is not easy for me to say this, so it is worth putting on record. A new kung fu star appeared. His name is Tommy. If you want to find an excellent role model, no one is more suitable than him. "

-George Tan (Bruce Lee historian/filmmaker)

"The fastest punch I have ever seen (except Bruce Lee)!"

-David Peterson (apprentice of Bruce Lee's brother Huang Chunliang)

"Tommy carruthers is a great successor of Jeet Kune Do. More importantly, his students are also excellent. This is very important because not all boxers can teach good students. "

-Tim Tai _ te (Jeet Kune Do instructor)

"When I met Tommy, it reminded me of Bruce Lee. When we first met, I told him that his fists were like Bruce Lee's. Tommy's kick is also very powerful. His leg is not good. His speed of punching is close to that of Bruce Lee, but his strength is much worse than that of Bruce Lee. If he is hit, Tommy has enough strength to stop his heart. The power of his punch is so shocking. He inherited Bruce Lee's clothes and turned them into practical technology. "

-Jesse Glover (the first student in Bruce Lee)
