I spoke with the Grandmaster regarding this thread about Tom Carnes.  He will look into it personally okay?  You could email me at guro@... about specifics regading what you spoke about.

 

Caveat Emptor-"Buyer be 'ware",maybe I should work on my Latin, but what martial arts video is worth buying?  I have a lot of books and videos that are generally superficial in comparison with what I have been taught.  I was curious to know if anyone had seen Tom's videos.

 

I remember watching a certain video of Rene Latosa a name made famous by association in Serrada.  Tom asked me and Grandmaster Vincent Cabales Sr. what we thought about the video.  I made a funny sound while watching Rene, as Rene made a sound DEWFWANG.  The video was amazingly rediculous and when you consider that Rene is considered to be knowledgeable in Serrada and teaches 'it' to Wing Tsun Stylists- much of the world is getting swindled!

 

Tom Carnes, claims to have trained with Buce Lee.  Bruce Lee, was actually teaching off and on until 1972 I think.  If Tom were born in 55 then that would make him about 17 when Bruce Lee went back to Hong Kong for the last time.  I wasn't there, so I can't say who trained or didn't train with Bruce Lee, regardless how PONDUREOUS it appears.  Rgardless Tom's proficiency at that time, the association with Bruce Lee would afterwords effect Tom's motivation in martial arts.  Heck I see an old Bruce Lee movie and I want to be like water too!

 

Train hard and have fun!
