Martial arts, beyond the striking and grappling, offer a deep well of personal transformation. From ancient temple traditions to modern city dojos, the goal has always been more than combat—it’s about discipline, self-discovery, and purposeful action. Whether one’s journey begins with traditional forms or newer adaptive styles, the core remains the same: refining the body, sharpening the mind, and strengthening the spirit through dedicated practice and guidance. 35

In today’s world, focus and discipline can come from many places — whether through strategic pursuits like betting in Ethiopia or the rigorous path of martial arts. But physical training alone is never enough. True mastery requires the cultivation of both mind and character. 35

Non-Classical Gung Fu was founded by Jesse Glover, Bruce Lee’s first student and assistant instructor from 1959 to 1964. Jesse Glover came up with the name after asking Bruce Lee for permission to teach his own class. Bruce Lee agreed—with one important condition: Jesse should not call it Wing Chun or Jun Fan. This marked the beginning of what would later be known as Non-Classical Gung Fu, a fighting method rooted in Bruce Lee’s early teachings but evolved through Jesse’s own research, practice, and experience. 35

“It is with great sorrow that I have to announce the passing away of my teacher and good friend Jesse Glover. He has been a great inspiration and source of knowledge to me. He was for me a great martial arts teacher and a very kind and giving human being, I will miss him dearly. Thank you Jesse for all your influence and help”.
