Busy Time

Well its been a wee bit busy so i haven't kept you up to date.
McFann was superb as usual and the subsequent UFA camp saw us exposed to Krabi Krabong!
We have had Bill McGrath fly by, head of Pekiti Tirsia International. What a great seminar and well attended. If things work out right, i will be the PTI UK Director, organising Tuhon McGraths future UK trips.
Then we had Rey Diogo, BJJ 4th degree black belt come and teach in another amazing seminar!
Bob Spour is up next with a Self Protection workshop and Thai session on the Friday 18th/19th respectively.
July 7th sees Daniel Loreno pop by. Daniel trains with Guro Inosanto and teaches at the Inosanto Academy. He'll be covering Maphilindo Silat!

Meanwhile it was great to see Peter receive his brown belt in BJJ from Roberto Atalla, a well earnt achievemnt that is a credit to the club.

Finally, WELL DONE to Chris Moir on his recent Thai fight victory. His first one where he dominated and won by unanimous decision!

Inosanto Legacy

February 7, 1967 to February 7, 2007
Sifu Dan Inosanto
Head Instructor of the Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute to the IAMA Founder / Head Instructor

Yet when they write their rewritten history they often fail to mention that many of those who claim to have been trained by Lee were in fact taught by Inosanto and certified by Inosanto.

Sifu Marc McFann


This Wednesday sees the return of Sifu Marc McFann to Aberdeen Martial Arts Group’s Academy in Justice Mill Lane. Sifu McFann is a student of Sifu Dan Inosanto, the man that the late Bruce Lee left in charge of his system and teach on his behalf. McFanns qualifications see him not only as a Full Instructor under Inosanto in both the Jun Fan Gung Fu as well as the Filipino Martial Arts, but an Instructor in Mande Muda Silat (an Indonesian fighting art not designed for sport), Thai Boxing and Larry Hartsell’s (another former Bruce Lee student) Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Grappling Association. Sifu McFann also has black belts in Judo (in which he competed in the USA Team), Kempo Karate and Hapkido.

Now residing in Arkansas where he runs the McFann Acadamy of Martial Arts, Marc regular teaches seminars through the US and in the UK where he lived in the 90’s. Founder and World co-ordinator of the Unified Fighting Arts (UFA) Sifu McFann will be teaching the seven ranges of combat and the seminar is suitable for ALL levels and ANY style.

The seminar starts at 6.30pm and will run for 3 hours and costs only £25. Private lessons are available throughout the afternoon although these are being filled fast. There will be an opportunity to grab a beer with Sifu after the seminar.
