Holy shite. He lived here in Kingwood by me. He ran a gym here called Rising Sun Karate. It’s where I started my path in BJJ about 20 years ago. He would come roll with us some although he was a MT/karate guy. Our group was only there about a year before Jason and our head instructor had a falling out so we left. However I would see him all around Kingwood driving his Black H2 or his Porsche. Then he got into MMA and we would see him at fights around Houston. He always had some level of drama around him which is why I was glad we left Rising Sun although deep down I think he was a cool dude, just conflicted I guess. I know he had a young daughter that was the same age as my daughter who is 14. Rest in Peace JDF.

I heard with peers (actors or other martial artists) he could be a bit of a dick, but with fans he was apparently extremely humble and welcoming.

I lived in the area and know people who went to Rising Sun Karate.

Isn’t the guy he had a falling out with the guy who started McCusker MMA?
