Burton Richardson | BJJ for the Street, JKD, and Real Life Self Defense | RDP Episode 3

[@ATACXGYMCAPOEIRA]

I've known Burton since he used to have a school in Long Beach on Pacific Avenue with June Castro 35 years ago [ has it been THAT long? Lol ]. He's one of the most genuine, amazing, sincere, humble, intelligent, TRULY DEDICATED practitioners of the arts I've ever seen. How is this video not raking in millions of views? This is a reflection of the sad state of affairs of most people who equate and conflate self defense with the UFC and the arts with combat sports.

Burton is amazing. I had just started training with Egan when he and Burton were training. I remember Burton doing some sticky hand stuff that looked like magic to me. I look back and the people that I've been honored to meet through BJJ and it's just incredible. Thank you for this podcast.

I always wanted to train with him but have not had the opportunity to do so. I had an opportunity to do training seminars with Paul Vunak and Dan Inosanto during my years involved in the JKD Concepts Training. I heard SO many wonderful things about Burton, though. When I trained briefly with Danny Huybrechts in Pentjak Silat Bukti Negara in Los Angeles, all of the old school Paul De Thouars Silat students had mad respect for him. He's a bit of a legend in the martial arts community.

Burt was my training partner at the JKD Great Smokey Mountains Camp 1988, 1989. I thought he was the most talented practitioner back then. Now, he is exponentially much better!

I didn't know that Sifu/Guro/Guru/Professor Burton Richardson had double - majored in Biology and Creative Writing. No wonder he's such a great instructor! He carries that scientific, analytical mindset and the ability to transmit that knowledge verbally to his students and applies it!

Burt offerings were always the first thing I would read, every time I picked up an issue of Inside Kung Fu. Amazing person.

[@eleazarruoch576]

Is it just me, or is Burton Richardson starting to look like Bill Nye The Science Guy? Sorry Sifu Richardson. Respect!

[@robertsunday8445]

These days yes its realistic to say people are out to do bodily harm sounds good for personal security

[@outtastatexavie4368]

Stick fighting ?? This guy's a real piece if work

[@turntablesrockmyworld9315]

What are you going on about?

[@samuraisteve2775]

I would like to add, outside of myself being an Instructor by both Guro Dan Inosanto and Sifu Larry, I grew up and worked Security in bars all over the city, and now out here in Palm Springs, CA where I live. I am almost Burton’s age. Years ago it might not have been likely for someone to pull a knife or gun, nowadays it’s really likely. All these kids carry out here.
