In spite of this ban, Nakachi and his schoolmates continued to study martial arts in secret under the instruction of Yon Pon Gun and several other Koreans in the Kushimoto area. This was during the ban on Japanese budo (martial arts), enacted by the American military government under General MacArthur (1945 - 1948). Because of business, Gun often visited the small fishing village of Kushimoto, Nakachi's home town. By this time, at the age of 16, Nakachi had his 2nd degree black belt. In 1948, when the ban on martial arts was lifted, the open practice of Shinpu-ren resumed.
In 1944, Yoichi Nakachi at the age of 12, started studying karate under Yon Pon Gun in Kushimoto, Japan. But most people are not in those situations. If you really want self protection, be aware of your surroundings and carry a gun. What a cop does and what a guy that doesn't want to get robbed are two different things. That being said, self defense and fighting have many different situations.
There's no Wing Chun slapping "I could have killed you right there!" stuff. You can tell who is good as they have no problem with challenges and full contact training. Lots of the good students also moved over to BJJ. They would rather make a few quid peddling Bruce Lee aftershave, lamp shades and other tat! The estate had the chance to sort things out years ago but they failed to follow things through. It also doesn't help that there is no governing body that can point people in the direction of legitimate instructors which wold also weed out the con artists and bullshitters. I've been fortunate to have trained with several of Bruce's students over the years and the ones who have impressed me I could count on fewer than the fingers on one hand but those guys were something else! They get by by using Bruce's name and riding on his coattails. Or they are lazy, out of shape wannabes that couldn't fight the tide in their bath never mind a violent encounter where someone's sole intent is to destroy them. They're either doing something that bears absolutely no resemblance to Bruce's art and calling JKD. The problem is the majority of Jeet Kune Do practitioners are in a word shite. The art of Jeet Kune Do is on another level to a lot of other martial arts.
