Remembering Tim Tackett

Tim Tackett stands on the left with arms crossed, wearing glasses and a black long-sleeve shirt with a Jeet Kune Do emblem. On the right stands Dustin Bunnell, wearing a gray “Jeet Kune Do Athletic Department” T-shirt and holding red training gloves. They are in a seminar room with other participants in the background.

The martial arts world lost a true teacher. Tim Tackett lived Jeet Kune Do with honesty, humility, and purpose. He passed on not only Bruce Lee’s art, but the spirit behind it. Even one meeting with him could change how you see movement, teaching, and character. His influence will endure.
