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.
