This article is written as an autobiography and possibly an advert, but it may have the potential to be notable. I've looked for sources, and the only real ones I can find are at the subject's website, www.jkdmartialarts.com, which suggests this does not pass WP:N. However I'm not a martial art expert, and would like the opinion of the community.  Flying  Toaster  17:33, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable. Not finding substantial RS coverage, and the article makes no assertions of notability beyond the subject's associations with Bruce Lee (and notability is not inherited).  Also, I'll admit I'm not a martial arts expert either, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!  (j/k) ...  Baileypalblue (talk) 18:31, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - he is just an instructor, no assertion of notability Esasus (talk) 23:45, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - if reliable sources about his travels around the world can be verified, then keep; but this looks otherwise to be a candidate for deletion per nom. Bearian (talk) 15:51, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
