• Jeff Speakman Kenpo Karate 5.0

I’ve only met Master Jeff Speakman once in my career. It was actually at the All Martial Arts Supplies’ Las Vegas on Charleston and Valley View Ave. He just recently was battling cancer and it spread around in the Vegas Valley about what happened. There was a jar at the martial arts store to help donate to help him get better. Jeff was a very movie actor in the 1980s and he did many martial arts movies during the Karate golden era in that time. He was extremely gentle man and very well spoken and shook my hand and we breifly talked. Whenever I have had events he’s always supported us. We also had a Bill Wallace event back in 2012 and he supported us and brought alot of students. There is a gentleness about this man I really respected and how much he treated me like a normal guy.

Jeff Speakman is an American martial artist, actor, and instructor. He is primarily known for his expertise in Kenpo Karate and has achieved a significant reputation within the martial arts community. Here’s a brief overview of his contributions to martial arts and cinema:

Martial Arts:

1. Kenpo Karate: Jeff Speakman trained under the renowned martial artist Ed Parker, who is often credited for popularizing Kenpo Karate in the United States. Speakman earned a black belt in this discipline and eventually achieved a 9th-degree black belt.

The movie showcased Kenpo Karate techniques, bringing some attention to the martial art.

Kung fu Schools in Las Vegas NV 

• Lohan School of Shaolin 

Sifu Bah who was the head instructor of this school pretty much its whole entire time its been open. He was a good man and really cared about his Kung Fu and no one can really replace him in my opinion. I trained with him briefly when I was about 13 years old as we were getting ready for a Buddhist event prayer with a friend. I remember training for it and learning a Kung Fu form so I could look good at the Temple. I still remember the Salute form and him saying “go”.

Lohan is a good place, friendly and its a small group of well trained martial arts instructors that are very good at what they do. They are also very passionate people that are close with each other and with that they train together and use Kung Fu to keep each other together. We recently did a video game together and they did the movements for this martial arts game I created called the desert Sensei. I had alot of fun making it but they looked super sharp and good doing it.

They did an amazing job with the fight scenes and I was lucky to have them help me with my game. They Also, have another Stunt company called ARHAT stunt team and they have helped me over the years crteate some great content and I am very lucky I knew them.
