Jeet Kune Do Private Lesson -- The Art of Fighting Without Fighting
One-on-one martial arts training. We focus on YOUR body, YOUR speed, YOUR reach. I don't teach you to fight like me. I teach you to fight like the best version of you. Footwork, trapping, striking -- and the philosophy behind every movement.
Wing Chun Wooden Dummy (Mook Jong)
Traditional wooden dummy for Wing Chun training. 108 movements. It teaches you angles, deflection, and structure. The dummy doesn't lie -- if your form is wrong, your wrists will tell you.
Nunchaku Set (Training Foam + Competition Wood)
Foam pair for learning, hardwood pair for performance. I made these famous but they're actually an Okinawan farming tool. Start with the foam. Trust me.
Tang Soo Do Fundamentals -- From White to Green Belt
Traditional Korean martial arts training. We start with basic stances, blocks, and kicks. No flashy nonsense -- just solid technique that works. I'll teach the same forms I learned at Osan Air Base in 1958. Tip: Your roundhouse kick should come from the hip, not the knee. Most beginners kick with their leg. Champions kick with their whole body.
On-Camera Dialogue Coaching -- Making Every Word Count
Most actors read lines. I teach you to THROW lines -- like darts. Short, sharp, landed. We study Casablanca, The Big Sleep, and The Maltese Falcon. Tip: The audience should feel like they're overhearing you, not listening to you.
Camera Confidence Workshop -- Owning the Lens
The camera is not your enemy. It's your best friend -- the one who sees everything and forgives everything. I teach you how to find your light, your angle, and your truth. We work with a live camera feed so you can see yourself the way the audience sees you.
Bokken Set (Oak Practice Swords, Pair)
Two red oak bokken -- standard katana length. These are the training weapons I used before every Kurosawa film. They teach you distance, timing, and respect for the blade. Tip: If you're gripping too tight, you're already losing.
Hitchcock/Truffaut (First Edition, Hardcover)
The definitive book on filmmaking. Truffaut asked me 500 questions over five days. Every answer is a masterclass. This is the first American edition, 1967. Dog-eared at the Vertigo chapter because everyone always goes there first.
Cinematography Masterclass -- Light Is Everything
Barry Lyndon was lit entirely by candlelight using a NASA lens. The Shining used Steadicam before anyone knew what Steadicam was. 2001 invented front-projection on a scale nobody had attempted. We study how to light a scene so it tells the story before anyone speaks. Tip: Natural light is almost always better than artificial. Learn to see it first.
Stunt Safety & Fall Training Workshop
Before you can do a stunt, you need to know how to fall. We cover breakfalls, rolls, wall hits, and stair tumbles on mats. I've broken nearly every bone in my body -- YOU don't have to. Safety isn't about being careful. It's about being PREPARED. We drill until the landing is automatic.
Acrobatics Fundamentals -- Flips, Rolls, and Wall Runs
Peking Opera trained me in acrobatics from age six. I teach forward rolls, backward rolls, cartwheels, wall runs, and basic flips -- all on safety mats. You don't need to be young. You need to be willing. Sammo Hung and I still warm up with these moves. Tip: Your hands and feet should never land at the same time.
Scene Improvisation Workshop -- Finding Truth Without a Script
The 'You talkin' to me?' scene wasn't written. It was felt. I teach you to prepare so thoroughly that when the script disappears, you're still the character. We set up scenarios and go. No safety net. The best moments in film happen when the actor surprises themselves.
