Professor Wally Jay was the driving force behind the development of Small Circle Jiu-jitsu. His understanding of locking and grappling brought him to the attention of Sifu Bruce Lee and they created a relationship based on their respect for each others skills and technical attributes.
While I only had the pleasure of training with Professor Jay on several occasions back in the early '90's I am still saddened at his passing and the wealth of knowledge that passes with him.
