It was Jerry’s dream to have a rescue ranch for abused or abandoned animals. Although he was unable to fulfill his dream, JPJKD Instructor Alex Shore has done so in San Diego County. Alex is not only a gifted teacher and martial artist, but he is a lifelong animal lover. He left a successful career in finance to self- fund his animal sanctuary. If you can, please help Alex and his wife fund the new medical building at the rescue compound. Visit: www.theshoresanctuary.org for more details.

We at Jerry Poteet Jeet Kune Do are so proud of Alex!

IRON HIDDEN IN SILK

Today, we celebrate Linda Lee Cadwell, a woman who embodies the phrase, Iron Hidden In Silk. I am lucky enough to have known her for decades. We first met at a Bruce Lee event, where Jerry and I were teaching. So many years later, the guys are still talking about how beautiful she was in her stunning red dress!

Besides her obvious physical beauty, Linda’s inner strength and resilience in the face of adversity is an inspiration. Linda does not walk in anyone’s shadow. While helping preserve a legacy, she is a life force all her own.

After Jerry died suddenly, she urged me to continue teaching and to continue his martial arts and JKD legacy. I do so today with her blessing and encouragement. To the elegant, beautiful, Linda who is proof that kindness is more powerful than any punch or kick. All we can say is “Thank you, God, for her positive presence in so many lives.” Happy Birthday Linda!
