If so, there will probably be a registration fee to cover his charge.  I know that not much could be learned in such a short time, but it might be something interesting to do.

I learned Tae Kwon Do and Jeet Kune Do from one of Bruce Lee's students, Danny Anasanto, and one of Danny Anasanto's pupils. I studied Jeet Kune Do for 3 years and Tae Kwon Do for 4 years.  I also learned a few Shaolin arts from a friend that was related to a monk, who was certified to teach Shaolin Iron head, Monkey fist, Shaolin shadow boxing, Snake style boxing, and drunken style boxing.  After studying the Shaolin Arts I intensified my training with Jeet Kune Do to develop the skills necessary to redirect any attacks so you are always in control of the situation via defense.
