Jesse Glover taught Non-classical Gung Fu in Seattle, Washington for 50 years and trained 100s of people. His classes were relatively small, low-key and non-commercial. Throughout those years he did not have a ranking system and did not certify people, give titles or belts. Jesse always said “people will know my students when they touch hands with them,” meaning he felt the Gung Fu was something that could only be experienced. Jesse’s Seattle students vary greatly in the time spent with him and the skills they acquired. One of Jesse’s primary philosophies was that only through practice and mass repetition could one understand the Gung Fu. The more work a student puts in, the more they will get out.

Today there are many Seattle students who still train and continue to perpetuate, in their own way, the methods they learned and the skills they acquired through training with Jesse. As Jeet Kune Do is Bruce Lee, Non-Classical Gung Fu is Jesse Glover. Each student teaches their version of what they learned. Therefore it is up to the people who knew Jesse and respected what he 'gave' them, to pass on their personal lessons in a way that honors the essence of the Gung Fu.
