He is a very recognized and talented person, and I am sure you’ll take advantage of everything he has to teach!”

OTHER TESTIMONIALS:

From David E.- (http://www.hertao.com/)
“I’ve learned a lot from Burton Richardson over the years. My interest has always been in realistic techniques and training methods that work, and everything Burton puts out there fits that description…not just in MMA, but also for self-defense. I’ve purchased many of his videos and books, and they’re all excellent. I always look forward to seeing his new material. Not only is JKD Unlimited a great system, but Burton is one of the most down to earth, egoless instructors I’ve ever seen. That’s extremely rare in martial arts!

Please let Burton know that I think his Jeet Kune Do Unlimited/MMA For Street Self Defense program is absolutely top-notch and the guys in my performance group love it.

There is something that I have been holding in for so long, and now I feel it is time for me to share it. Many people that I have been rolling with tend to ask me how long I have been doing BJJ. Most of them have been years ahead of me in the arts, and are surprised that I was able to submit them, or pass whatever position they put me in with very little effort. So, what I wanted to share is my secret weapon, and that is you Sifu Burton Richardson, because without your attention to details I would have been a lost cause from the begining. If I haven’t told you this before, well, there you have it. All of your teachings makes perfect sense from all angles, and the vibe that you have in class gets me pumped and anxious to attend each class session and learn a new technique. Thank You Very Much Burton Richardson. May the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you and your family, and everyone their at headquaters.
