I was Guro Bustillo’s uke / partner for a seminar in the 90’s when he was trying to teach some Machado Jiu-Jitsu – before most people had even heard of the UFC.

There is a picture of Tim Dunn with Guro Bustillo on the website.

From the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Bustillo

“Richard S Bustillo (January 28, 1942 – March 30, 2017) was a Filipino-American martial arts instructor from Hawaii who was a student of the late Bruce Lee and an authority on Jeet Kune Do Concepts and Filipino Martial Arts.

Bustillo began studying martial arts at the age of 8 with eskrima in his native Hawaii at the Gray YMCA Center in Palolo Valley, Hawaii under his father. He learned to box when he was 10 and competed in PAL boxing under the Veterans Boxing Club in Honolulu’s Aala Park.

At the age of 14 Bustillo studied Kajukenbo with the Kempo/Karate Club of Waipahu until graduating from High School and moving to California to pursue a college education.[3] While a college student at age 19, he competed in tournaments such as the Golden Gloves, Silver Gloves, Blue & Gold and other amateur boxing shows for Shaw’s Boxing Gym in Los Angeles. At age 24 Bustillo began his study of Jeet Kune Do under Bruce Lee at the Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute in Los Angeles.

In 1967, with training partner Dan Inosanto, Bustillo researched and studied the Filipino martial arts (kali, escrima, arnis) under Angel Cabales and other instructors. This began a revival of these arts with worldwide interest. In 1976, Bustillo was promoted by Sifu Inosanto to senior instructor level in Bruce Lee’s Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do. In 1978 Bustillo studied Muay Thai and achieved the title Kru (teacher) in 1985 from Thailand’s former Olympian and Muay Thai Champion Nanfa “Lot” (Chiridichoi) Satenglam.

Bustillo taught Jeet Kune Do, Filipino martial arts, Boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, mixed martial arts and other arts at his Torrance, California school, the IMB Academy.

Bustillo was certified by the U.S. Olympic Training Center as a coach and official for U.S. Amateur Boxing in Southern California. He was a certified Guro (instructor) in the Filipino arts of Kali, Escrima, and Arnis; holding eleven degree black belt (under SGM Cacoy Canete in November 2011) and the title Grand Master by the Doce Pares organization of Cebu City, Philippines. Bustillo was a member of the Black Belt Hall of Fame (Instructor of the Year 1989) and the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame.

Bustillo was a certified law enforcement defensive tactics instructor and a member of the American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers. Additionally, Bustillo was a member of the Search & Rescue Team of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and is a Reserve Peace Officer.

Bustillo continued to train with martial artists such as the Machado (Brazilian) Jujitsu USA Team. In addition, he was well known for promoting the Filipino Martial Arts. Bustillo was a founding member of the Bruce Lee Foundation and was the Jeet Kune Do Instructor to Bruce Lee’s children, Brandon Lee and Shannon Lee.”

Thank you to my Ohana for the wonderful surprise of a trip to Uncle Frank’s birthday party this weekend.

I do not deserve such an honor but it is appreciated nonetheless.

Much aloha to all of you.

I have been telling many of you in the boxing drills lately to just stay relaxed and throw more punches; to stop worrying about throwing the “perfect” punch at the “perfect” time to the “perfect” target.  The goal isn’t even to hit “hard” at the early stages.

Simply pretend you are in a pottery class and try to make as many pots as possible in a short amount of time.  You just need to “make more pots” than the other guy.  If done correctly, this method will help you to improve more quickly by learning from your many mistakes and finding ways to be more efficient. This methodology was brought to my attention in myown studies.  Since I am not known for taking credit for someone else’s work, I tracked down the source I used.

Here it is an excerpt from the original article on the Japanese Language learning site “Tofugu”: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/quantity-not-quality-makes-fluent-japanese/

Why Quantity, Not Quality, Makes You Fluent In Japanese

I’d like the start this article with a quote from “Art & Fear”, a book written by David Bayles and Ted Orland.

The ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the “quantity” group: fifty pound of pots rated an “A”, forty pounds a “B”, and so on. Those being graded on “quality”, however, needed to produce only one pot – albeit a perfect one – to get an “A”.

Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the “quantity” group was busily churning out piles of work – and learning from their mistakes – the “quality” group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay.
