Biography edit

Poteet began his martial arts career in Kenpo, and became a brown belt under the Kenpo instructor Ed Parker.[5][6] Poteet also trained the Dallas Cowboys football team and bodyguards in Jeet Kune Do, and choreograph the fight scenes of several films.[citation needed]

Poteet was chosen as the person best able to train Jason Scott Lee, for the latter's role in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story.[7][8]

In addition to choreographing Jason Scott Lee's key fight scenes in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, Jerry worked with him on Soldier and Timecop 2: The Berlin Decision. Other Poteet’s notable students were Glenn Danzig, Michael Worth and Kevin Sorbo.[citation needed]

Poteet credited his teacher, Bruce Lee, with giving him the tools to survive, "the fight of my life", when he was compelled to undergo a liver transplant in 1995. Until his death, Poteet taught Jeet Kune Do to the next generation of students and instructors. He taught martial arts for over 40 years.[citation needed]

The last years of Poteet's life were dedicated to preserving and refining the legacy he received from his instructor, Bruce Lee.[citation needed]

He died on January 15, 2012.[9] Today, Poteet's legacy is being kept alive by protege Sifu Fran Poteet Joseph through the Jerry Poteet Jeet Kune Do Association.[10]
