July 2009
At the celebration of Baron Omidi’s life, I met Master Lajos Jakab. Master Jakab trained alongside Baron Omidi in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, he also has been pictured and written about in various martial arts books and magazines.
On the 9th July 2009 I, and four of the Baron Omidi Kung Fu Kick Fighting students (Dan Corruthers - Black belt, Jake Guyett - Brown belt, Mahdi Siddique - Brown belt and Joel Guyett - Green belt), arrived at the High Wycombe Self Defence Fitness Club and met many of Master Jakab’s students and instructors.
Master Jakab trained us hard and fast and we all learnt new techniques to work with at the Isleworth Club. All the students at Master Jakab’s defence club worked hard with us all. They were very disciplined in Master Jakab's art and very well trained.
It was an honour to be invited to train there. I have read about Master Jakab and Baron was always talking about the days training with him.
I feel I have known Master Jakab since 1974 when I started at Baron’s Club.
A big thank you to Grand Master Lajos Jakab for his hospitality from all at Baron Omidi’s Isleworth Club.
