Chuck Norris B'day demo during MAIA Supershow 2006

[ebemisyshim]

Chuk can see this in 1080p

[Bulllseye2012]

I never realised just how weird Norris is until I saw an upload on the tube of him espousing some Christians nonsense about Bibles in School.

Really strange



[MrCase22100]

WHY DON'T EVERYONE JUST RELAX AND ENJOY THE VIDEO.I HAVE ONE PROBLEM WHY IS THIS TITTLE TO CHUCK NORRIS THIS MARTIAL ARTS IS PRODUCT OF BRUCE LEE NOTHING TO DO WITH CHUCK NORRIS.HA HAAA

[DennyDigital]

that was awesome

[fluffyharry]

To Ron, beautiful demo sir, can't wait for your next Balicki/Teasdale seminar.

To others, regarding to remainder of the discussion, I feel one of the principles of Myamuto Musashi's school of military science is relevant here:

Understand the harm and benefit in everything.

If you can see the positive and negative elements of everything you perceive, you will be able to learn and grow from even the (seemingly) worst online video/seminar/system, even if it is simply what you

[fluffyharry]

think won't work for you, or that you would never have that weapon. If you can't get anything from this or other videos/seminars/systems, then it is a shame and a waste of time viewing, attending, training in and especially commenting on them.

Give The Book of Five Rings a read if you're interested. Empty your cup and try not to be limited by your own closed mindedness.

[Zerolimits83]

@ KurtCobain198666

Ron Balicki IS an instruction in JKD.

Jun Fan Gung Fu was the first name of this material arts because Jun Fan is the name of Bruce Lee in chinese.....now its Jeet Kune Do...and Ron Balicki is an instructor of this...Dan Inosanto was teaching Ron Balicki....

[KurtCobain198666]

People that are knocking the martial artists in this vid are so ignorant. Inosanto is a top class fighter and her own right, and Balicki is an instructor in Jun Fan Gung Fu (NOT JKD!!)

[chromakey84]

i think its called a sarong.

[CT2507]

why are they all dressed up in black!?

black is the colour of depression, hate and death.

and why are they playing agressive heavy rock if all they are into is selfdefense!?

are they hypocrits or just plain dumb!!

[JustinJFrazier]

You don't play loud music (whatever the type) to get you motivated to train harder? Look beyond the stereotypes of "COLOR" and what YOU attribute it to. Sounds like you are grossly misinformed and quick to call names. We'll chalk that us to being young and foolish...

[CT2507]

stereotype.. ha! u know nothing about the law of resonance. equal will atract equal. in my country black is only used for death and depression.

[Ronbalicki]

I guess we are just dumb. We wore black and had small ribbons on our chest if you look close. It was for AIDS awareness. We had hard rock to make it a little exciting. I am sorry we didn't meet your approval. We will try harder in the future.

[M3fanaticisatosser]

Black can be used for whatever purpose the individual wants. This is the typical small minded attitude of some people. Just because its one thing in your country, does not mean it has to be the same in every country, after all, isnt that what makes us all different?

[CT2507]

@M3fanaticisatosser im not talking of cultural customs and superstitions. im talking of the law of resonance that is taught in the esoteric schools. black is the lowest and heaviest of colours. in a human aura it only brings about depression, fear, isolation and destruction. and is usually associated with death!

certain people feel comfortable surrounding themselves only with black, because of their own low resonance with the infernal.

[sancam111]

haha this is funny, chuck norris sucks. hahahahah

[TIICCKK]

you suck

[jkdsifu]

Wow! Excellent demo! I loved it! My congratulations to Guro Ron Balicki and Guro Diana Inosanto for putting together such an entertaining and diverse performance that shows off the true JKD. People who think that JKD is just boxing, fencing, and wing chun are so misinformed and stuck in the past. Keep up the good work.

[cartelzww]

They aren't even in sinc half of the time. Next time I'm thinking about fighting a guy wearing a tubular towel around his body, I won't.  Who actually has shit like that on them in public?

[JustinJFrazier]

It's martial arts, not Dancing with the stars... it's just a demo.. and who wears Sarongs?! Try looking up the history of the arts before coming on here looking like the fool you are...

[PitchAmis]

@cartelzww Dude its just an example for wat you can use as a weapon i.e your belt or pullover or shirt w.e you can turn into a weapon as far as you can handle it!

[flio191]

wow. that was like watching my elementary school auditorium shows. i dont think there are any worse martial arts videos out there. sorry, but those, are not stances, forms, movements that are of any proper martial art.

[dkmontell]

Wrong my friend, it is pentcak silat

[flio191]

great, but degerberg, a facility run by yuppie families, and a fat dude, who has long lost his ability to do a stance, has nothing to do with martial arts.

they do mixed martial arts, and if you know about martial arts, you know that each art is balanced to be powerful, but he mixes martial arts because he never learned enough of one to be stable enough to teach anything right.

they're better off sticking with boxing, and kickboxing, and more external arts.

[dannielove1]

I completely disagree with you, I train in degerberg blend and its the shit man, u learn things differently and mix em up in a unique way, degerberg has one of the best schools in the world, and he doestn't jus mix em up, you can choose your own martial arts when you get in

[Drzacksmith]

flio191: I'm with you're mate!

[JustinJFrazier]

Do you have any idea what you are talking about?! They have more World known martial artist come out of there than any school in the world. Guru Dan I don't think has been wrong all these years.. the school is run by 1 family. (ONE, UNO, UNA 1) family. Try less talking and more listening and you can learn more than you think you know. This is why the arts are going to hell, everyones a critic...stick with video games.. PS3 should keep you occupied.

[RonOrGina]

Thats a very well organized demo. A good overview of many of the styles involved out of the Inosanto Acad!

[TheMadDervish]

This is why Guro Dan's instructor students are masters of various systems (and generally teach each system separately in the earlier stages) in order to teach the full spectrum which is encapsulated within the term "Jeet Kune Do Concepts." Selamat dan Hormat.

[TheMadDervish]

Regarding JKD -- Bruce Lee's original system is actually Jun Fan Gung Fu. It contains a certain training progression, patterns and techniques. As it evolved into Jeet Kune Do it encompassed not only these tactics but also the philosophy of continually growing. The "Jeet Kune Do Concepts," thus, is a Combative Philosophy of Totality encompassing Jun Fan Gung Fu as well as several other useful systems learned in their entirety in order to later discern what is useful within them.

[TheMadDervish]

The first demo is Guro Dan's Maphilindo/Majapahit system of Silat; the second is Muay Thai; the third is Filipino Sibat from Eskrima (also used in some Moro Silat systems); the fourth is the only one that is truly JKD (a philosophical blending of the various systems in combat simulation); the fifth demo is Eskrima again, focussing this time on Espada y Daga (Sword & Dagger); the sixth is Capoeira; the seventh is the use of the bullwhip as practiced mostly in the Sayoc system of "Kali" (Eskrima).

[mariannephoenix]

i have been with ron for 15 years and he is still the best martial artist i have ever seen! next to inosanto balicki is the best!

matt

[BestatwhatIdo]

Awesome demo. In regards to the argument about whether there is or is not JKD in the demo, Bruce said this, "Jeet Kune do favors formlessness so that it can assume all forms and, since it has no style, Jeet Kune Do fits in with all styles. As a result, Jeet Kune Do uses all ways and is bound by none and, likewise, uses any technique or means which serves its end. In this art, efficiency is anything that scores." Tao of JKD, Pg 24.

[Drzacksmith]

Yer; but its not formless is it, when it's predominantly S.E. Arts!

[BestatwhatIdo]

By that argument, it's not formless when it's Wing Chun, Western boxing, fencing, and Savate either.

[Drzacksmith]

OK then; lets look at it this way, in terms of arts & techniques, as shown in the books & DVDs' on JKD of Mr Inosanto & his students. What would you say had the higher ratios the S.E. Asian or the ones you've just mentioned?

[BestatwhatIdo]

Higher ratios of what? Sorry, man, don't know what you're asking me exactly.

[Drzacksmith]

1,Err, I thought it was crystal clear, but there you go! I'm going to assume you understand the word Predominantly. If JKD is supposed to be formless, then why is it that the Concept boys have so much South East Asian Arts in it. At which point it's no longer formless, but in fact has become a Bastard form of silat! I don't know why Mr Inosanto & Mr Balicki don't come out & be honest about it, the only reason that I can think of, is calling JKD has more commercial value too it.

[Drzacksmith]

2,One simply cannot tell what JKD would have ended up looking like had he not of died, or how much more he would have developed it. The only thing that we can be certain of was at his death there was JKD. I'm sure it wouldn't have been this over worked bag of tricks, that has no relationship to the realty of combat! It's simple logic, it would have looked like this when he was alive!

[BestatwhatIdo]

An overworked bag of tricks that has no relation to the reality of combat? So you must have fought Balicki, Inosanto, or Vunak? I feel my point has been made and this debate has gotten to the point where it is no longer serious, and you just get off on flinging insults over the anonymity of the internet. So I won't waste my time on this anymore. If you want more information, check out TheMadDervish's comments.

[Drzacksmith]

1,BestatwhatIdo: No I'm not just out there flinging insults, nor you, or the eloquent apologist for this eclectic mess " TheMadDervish."Have shown any thing other then your own brainwashed sycophantic tendency. Nor am I alone in my views, so what if Mr, Balicki, Inosanto or Vanak could beat me, there are plenty of untrained "Hard Bastards" that could do all of us.

[Drzacksmith]

2,Lets not argue about it send a link of a sparring match in which we see the compound traps working, in fact any traps & I don't mean the innate arm entanglements that Mr Balicki mentions, presumably he has to because the complex ones he teaches don't work! Then lets see the alive arm checks, arm raps, locks, & disarms in the Stick & Knife fighting, I'm not talking about demos here

[Drzacksmith]

3,You my have faith on your side mate, I've got empirical evidence on mine!

[universetechnique]

energy

[williebl2005]

The art of fighting with out fighting.

[universetechnique]

Stop reading and make sure you win the fight any way fits you thats all save engergy and attack instantly. Remember not to repeat thats when you lost.

[Drzacksmith]

Any way a most agreeable chat Cheers.

[williebl2005]

I never said that FMA or Silat would have a greater value than the JKD of Mr. Lee's time.What I said was he studied these arts to some extent.His purpose was to understand every range & situation.If confronted with the art he wanted to know what made them different (if any existed)to be effective in defending against it.I do believe that if he is alive today and studied other arts rather than the ones he had, he will excel.Cause it's never the art, it's always the Artist. Agree?

[Drzacksmith]

1)I agree with you he did look into other arts for an effective method of defending against them. So he wasn't continually leaning new techniques to the nth degree, rather he'd worked out a theoretical methodology of defence and attack based upon the principles of fencing , boxing and wing chun. He was therefore applying scientific rigor in testing his Hypothesis against other methods of combat.

[Drzacksmith]

2)Now if the Hypothesis does not match observation it is adjusted until it does or is abandoned, as he did not abandon these principles when he was alive one can assume that he was working towards turning his Hypothesis into a theory. It is a common mistake of people to believe that evolution means continues change it does not.

[Drzacksmith]

3)As for the assumption that it is the Artist and not the art, then that rather begs the question why did Mr Lee start working upon JKD in the first place?

[williebl2005]

Because the Artist realize he needed change (evolve). And JKD is not a set system. It is a concept.

[Drzacksmith]

1)Was not the term concept coined by Mr Inosanto. The problem as I see it was, Mr Lee was confronted with the realization that the classical systems, with their Katas and prescriptive techniques supposedly for use against real life encounters didn't work.

[Drzacksmith]

2)An analogist parallel can be found in complex A.I. programmes used at one time to give autonomy to robots. In the end the engineers realized that real world problems can not be programmed and turned to evolving genetic algorithms instead.

[Drzacksmith]

3)I remember reading somewhere that he said "a punch is a punch and a kick is a kick." So as far as I understand it he was working upon two areas 1, what is the most effective offence 2, what is the most effective defence, with subsets say for 1, what is the most efficient way to throw punch X or kick Y etc. 2 the most efficient parry, body shift etc. What I don't see it as, is blending say a Thai knee with Greco Roman take down and finishing off with a BJJ choke.

[williebl2005]

"What I don't see it as, is blending say a Thai knee with Greco Roman take down and finishing off with a BJJ choke."

"Absorb what is useful". Mate Either you get it or not it's OK! That's what evolution is all about! Cheers.

[Drzacksmith]

1)"What I don't see it as, is blending say a Thai knee with Greco Roman take down and finishing off with a BJJ choke." This statement is related to the what I said above it. It's not about individual techniques or even about individual styles it's about the ergonomics of delivery and defence, I thought that was clear.

[Drzacksmith]

2)Quite how you guys square the circle when one is confronted with the elegant,logical simplicity found in Mr Lee's descriptions and photos. With the plethora of modern material, with its every increasing layering of complexity, based not around economy of motion but individual techniques is a puzzlement. Perhaps less so if the eclectic mess has commercial value

[Drzacksmith]

read analogous in 2)sorry.

[williebl2005]

"Was not the term concept coined by Mr Inosanto."

He "coined it" because he can. He was there Mate!

[Drzacksmith]

Exactly It was a term coined by Mr Inosanto not a description given to it by Mr Lee. Pal.

[Drzacksmith]

2)However his selection of the 3 foundation arts, I believe is based upon them being the most ergonomically. I would lay money on it that had he started today he'd select the same 3. What I fail to understand is why you believe that the practicing of traditional arts mostly form S E Asia would have a greater efficacy then the JKD of Mr Lee's time!

[Drzacksmith]

1)"Absorb what is useful" is not a mantra for continual layering of technique upon technique, like some ornate cake. Instead of producing a more effieant art, you have simply exchanged a classical mess for an eclectic one. No one can say how much more development Mr Lee would have put into the development of his JKD.

[Drzacksmith]

Homage to Bruce Lee's JKD. Am I missing something here, where was there any JKD on this film?

[williebl2005]

LOL!!! If you can't find it, then you don't know it!

[Drzacksmith]

Sorry my mistake I didn't realise that JKD was based around Silat forms, Espada Y daga, Thai boxing, arnis. I totally forgot it was mostly based around S.E. Asian arts. My mistake was to believe the core of it was 1/3 Western Boxing, 1/3 Western Fencing and 1/3 Wing Chun. Oh hang on there was a little Wing Chun!

[williebl2005]

Then you did see JKD.You answered your own question!Bruce's double"Kali sticks in Enter the Dragon,"tabak Toyok" also known as nunchaku taught to him by his training partner Dan Inosanto well known FMA master friends with Donn F. Draeger Silat expert before Silat was ever known. See the connection!? And this was not an homage to Bruce Lee's JKD.This was a demo for Chuck Norris B'day.Read the caption! Don't be so confident with your ignorance,Cause your ignorance may cost you your confidence.

[Drzacksmith]

Hold on are you now saying that film fight choreography is JKD?

Now I listened to it again 1.9-1.11 some one says " Too pay homage to Bruce Lee JKD. Now I ask you again what has S.E.A. arts got to do with JKD. Other then Mr Inosantos liking of them.

And what the hell does "Don't be so confident with your ignorance, Cause your ignorance may cost you your confidence." mean?

[Drzacksmith]

And no I didn't see JKD mostly SE Asian Arts.

[williebl2005]

"Absorb what is useful" Bruce lee once said.You speak of the foundation of JKD not what it is today.If you train only in the pass then you don't have JKD.JKD is a concept not a classical mess.That is exactly what it was NOT in its conception.This is a subject much to broad to argue about on the net.Let me say that you are certainly entitled to your own opinion.But the truth lies in keeping JKD for what Bruce intended it to be, a living art that continues to grow beyond the current fighting arts.

[BuSyShoPr]

i go to degerberg academy it rocks im ablue belt

[ReijiTaro]

WOO! That was awesome! Second demo I've seen Willie and Barbara do! The first being Guro Dan Inosanto's birthday. Ang Galing!

-Christian

[Armydude991]

lol it would have been funny if he hit that tv bejhind him with the whip hehe

(those girls kick ass!@!)

[williebl2005]

BrainDecrease, hence your youtube name describe your ability to not consider your thoughts before you voice or in this case type in your comments.

1st he's Filipino,2nd some of the Filipinos who fought in the Civil war became cowboys by trade after the war.

Google "Filipinos in the Civil War". If you want to learn anything. If you don't stay the way you are.

[BrainDecrease]

Something looks very wrong about this... Like when you see a chinese guy dressed as a cowboy.

[pmatsusa]

Great job Guro Ron and Diana. This was probably one of the best demos I have ever seen. AWESOME!

- Guro Billy Brown

[williebl2005]

Guro Billy Brown, I"ll speak for Ron & Di to thank you for your kind words.

[Ronbalicki]

Thank you so much! Willie is an amazing martial artist and helps me make me look better than I am!

[mariannephoenix]

the choreography is very good, wouldn't expect anything else from Ron though!

[ballisticbear]

hey Willie! matt from england here, that was an amazing demo! very well done, look forward to seeing you again sometime!

[williebl2005]

Hey Matt! I've seen your training vid. Very cool. Great to hear from you see you soon! Be well. Check out "Bolo sparring" on "youtube". I'm the one with the hat!

[lveskrima]

Excellent choreography

[williebl2005]

The choreography is thanks to Guro Ron Balicki. I'll pass on the complement.
