Hiro Watanabe
Real name: Kazuhiro Watanabe. Born on April 9, 1959, in Tokyo, Japan. Started practicing karate at the age of 10 in 1969. Influenced by Bruce Lee's movie "Enter the Dragon," he began studying Jeet Kune Do. In 1977, he started training with his friend Hiroshi Araki, who had returned from studying under Dan Inosanto. In 1984, he made his first trip to the USA and received direct teachings from Dan Inosanto and Larry Hartsell, both of whom were Bruce Lee's disciples. In 1986, he received instructor certification from Dan Inosanto and began promoting Jeet Kune Do. In 1992, he left the headquarters school he was affiliated with in the USA. In 1994, he reunited with instructor Mark Stewart during a seminar in Japan. In 1996, through the efforts of Mark Stewart, he began learning true Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do directly from Master Ted Wong. In 2000, he became the first Japanese to receive the official Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do instructor certification from Ted Wong. He annually travels to the USA to receive private lessons focused on sparring and diligently works on enhancing the internal structures crucial to Jeet Kune Do. In the summer of 2010, he received his final private lesson from Master Ted Wong, who certified him personally as having mastered all teachings of Jeet Kune Do. He actively promotes genuine Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do not only in Japan but throughout Asia to advance its legacy.
