Here is a link to his Ebay Store:
http://stores.ebay.ca/Survival-Solutions
and his MySpace:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...ndid=141868604

he also has a website called, surprise surprise, Survival Solutions:
http://www.jeetkunedovideos.com/

This lists the instructors for "Survival Solutions" where he is listed as Head Instructor:

http://www.jeetkunedovideos.com/index_0.html

and this link shows his "official lineage"
http://www.jeetkunedovideos.com/Authenticlineage.html

From Bruce to Inosanto to Paul Vunak to John Lopez

His link for DVD Certification:
http://www.jeetkunedovideos.com/index_3.html
where he lists a lyric from "Primus" LOL

and here is a link for his JKD, Kali Silat, OFT cert package for $400
http://www.combatkaratedirect.com/bopajekudoka.html
which was listed on the previous page for $500

Offensive Fighting Tactics Certification only $500.00

and he is listed as a certified JKD instructor through the World JKD Fed.
http://www.jeetkunedo.net/jkdinstructors.htm

The "Endorsements" page
http://www.jeetkunedovideos.com/Stickfighting.html
featuring letters from DHS, DOJ, Military.
Now....reading some of the 'official' letters they are for in-person training and some of the civilian letters appear to be for home-study courses.

a link to his YouTube channel:
http://www.youtube.com/user/lopezkalisilat

here is a link to his actual gym if you wish to try out an in-person class:
http://www.jeetkunedovideos.com/untitled2.html
this page has no address....lists a number of:
714-697-4017
which yeilds minimal google returns, but no address.

Lists prices of classes of $100 a month, privates for $25 an hour
again no address, but this video is listed for "Where I teach" on his site but on his YouTube accout it is titled "JKD for the streets"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVRrjl-87ts

which looks oddly enough like an enclosed porch in his backyard or something.

Urm... thanks.

You are good at that...

Complete fraud, disgusts me that he dare sell certificates JKD is doomed forever if people like this get away with it.

Just look at some of his instructors, trying to beat up old men (whom looks like he could easily put him down anyway).

If you are ever down in the dumps just go to this guy Kuliena profile watch his over videos, great ab work laughing, good for the heart too.

[ calling him a fake is a lie. His on Paul Vunak site as a full instructor AND live down the street from Paul. Get your facts right, Some people like talking crap and some unintelligent people that can't think for them self like to listen. By the way the guys below are not his instructor go to his site for your self there not on it .

Care to link to where Vunak lists him as an instructor? Care to tell us why we should care?

**warjoe** · Posted On: 6/14/2009 12:14pm

From reading his site and thinking for my self, it says for one to teach more them small groups they must show resume of Example. unintelligent people listen with out looking up the fact his site say he dose not sale on ebay . From his his site "If you find others selling our package don't buy them as we will not recognize them". also from his site.
1 Provide a background of training, and if possible provid verifiable references. Example of acceptable resume Click here email them to oftjkd@hotmail.com Look like this organization get a 100% up and up from me
