@rodneychris507 jeet kune do was made 4 boxers n MMA fighters its greah 4 movement n when mixed with other kung-fu styles, becomes a good way to counter attack and evade the oponent with half-step, and full step mixed in 2gether to give u great mobility
@Jonny17999 Dear Jonny thank you! For the positive feedback,i always loved boxing but just in case you have to defend yourself against more than one attacker or someone welding a knife or club i figured martial arts maybe the better artform.
JKD is all about applying the most economical route possible to destroy your opponent, and to also do whatever is nessecary in order to destroy your opponent. also JKD in truth has no form or style it is simply the individuals own physical response in a fight. The JKD that everyone classically knows is Bruce Lee's JKD and NO ONE i repeat no ONE can replicate it in the manner that he did because it is his own JKD and his alone.
@strokethefurrywall90 and also because all the shiteaters who jerk off on his posters aint even half as fast as he was :) real JKD or not real it doesnt matter. make ur bpdy stronger, ur reflexes faster, ur brain smarter and ull kick ass as good as bruce lee was doing it
Heres something to think about: this stuff works great when someone stands there and LETS you do it to him. It all changes when hes trying like hell to hit you back. This is why Bruce loved to spar so much.
@ThePrincessMeowMeow of course it can be done, it's not like any random attacker/mugger/thug knows martial arts. with wing chun if someone pulled ur arm we'll learn early on to punch him right away while not letting him control the arm. also to catch the arm when someone is punching is impossible, it's only possible if u stick to him at much closer distance and then he gives his arm out. bruce lee and jkd is what started the whole mma business in america by the way, as it is a form of mma also.
@sethfan1000000 Its jamming a punch or kick in essence. Did you see what he did at the beginning? He starts with his arm parallel to the other trainer's arm. He slaps and pulls down the trainer's arm to follow up with another strike. That's a 'trap'.
@sethfan1000000 When you strike at your opponent, he blocks your punch. Just imagine that dude raising his forearm. That's when you need to move his forearm out of the way, with your other hand. The word trap can be misleading, right?
@waterfordel thank you. lol but kids at my school think that punching vertical is stupid and they think fighting is just hitting the crap out of someone without defending yourself
@Ben1987X Bruce Lee Ripped apart Kung fu and most forms of eastern martial arts as being, non-fluid, overly ridgid, and endless forms causing confusion. Simplicity, economy were among the premiere principles. If you want to learn more, check out the Tao of Jeet Kune Do. He taught that your form should be natural and unnaturalness coming together.
how about at 0:19 i just kick you in your balls because you have no structure or defence with your unrealistic rehearsed trapping. This is NOT jkd people. Bruce would want me to make that clear because of all the useless nubs like this guy who have bastardized his art to fill their pockets.
I know where this dojo is!!!! :) I live in the same city and met this Jeet Kune Do Instructor. I must say that he is a really kewl guy and easy to understand. For those people living in Miami this Dojo is on the corner of 127ave and kendall drive (88 st) in the shopping center across from the Home Depot!.. :) Check his Dojo out!!!
As JKD is the formless form we should not fuss about what is JKD and what is not. YET the way of the INTERCEPTING fist has its principles. And the only four principles that really make that interception work are: 1) Simplicity; 2) Economy of Motion;
3) Longest Weapon to the Nearest Target;
4) Always Think of Hitting.;
Sifu with all my respect I do not see these principles in this video.
no martial art is better than the other its all about how you apply it with your own skills in a real life scenario thats why bruce invented JKD bc not all the moves from one style are gonna work for you everyone has a diff body build so thats how mma began to come around bc bruce realized to be a superior fighter you must look at all aspects and not be narrow minded with one train of thought.JKD is simply just a name for his style..anyone can invent their own style or name its w/e works for you
@x123x321x Not completely true. Bruce didnt want to be confined to a style, but he also made other changes. You can take what you think is useful and also violate the principlesof JKD. It's not as easy as just mixing some MA up.
Well of course I already know that, I never start a fight cause there's never a reason to do so. But just in case someone starts something I like to be prepared, but I try my best to avoid them.
bruce lees root is jun fan not JKD. JKD does not have a root if it is a philosophy and not a style. he used Junfan because that is what he was good at, if he was a wrestler then that'll be the base/root. JKD is using what is sensible. Therefore JKD concept or sensible fighting existed before, during & after lee. He taught nothing new.
Bruce heavily emphasized that JKD is "using your way as the way." Which means, use what is good for YOU, absorbing what is useful, and rejecting what is useless for YOU. Why? Because everyone is different. These guys in this video aren't doing what would necessarily be good for YOU, but what they find good for THEMSELVES. However the CONCEPT of what they are doing is more important than the actual movement. Amen.
@Kruelwanderer911 Well bruce also said "Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there" if you create barriers than you are doing the exact opposite of jeet kune do
<--- agrees with jbentely. It seems that everyone think by training jkd you'll be like bruce lee when in reality you're going to learn a variety of ways to defeat an opponent while developing your own style.
@jshflrz yeah, when i started jeet kune do i was like man im gonna be just like bruce lee.. but i figured out exactly what you've said. some things that work for bruce lee don't necessarily work the best for me. it's all about what you can do efficiently. absorb what is useful, discard what is useless.
@xThexBanditx It's really how you look at it, what you see in it. Bruce Lee's body, mind and spirit was one of a kind, we all have a different mind, body and spirit which what makes all of us unique. It really all comes down to what you see in it, how well you understand it.
@jshflrz Better to learn how to stay out of a street fight. Street fighters are sociopaths and they have no hesitation to cutting your face open with a busted bottle. In fact, they take pleasure in this kind of thing. Remember that when some guy in a bar insults you (also, get the hell out of there) If you can't do that... then fight to kill.. until he is done
Bruce Lee came from a Wing Chun background, but he was at least vaguely familiar with the techniques of many styles.
While he kept various center-line and low-commitment mentalities, he changed them where he thought they were not effective, etc.
However, easily forgotten, is that even Bruce lee felt that any martial art must be tailored to its user, not everyone is as fast, or short, or light as Bruce Lee was..
Mr Woods, I truly enjoy your videos, keep up the good work. As I understand the concept of having "no fixed style" it means adapting the system to fit the student, not the student to the system. As an instructor, I do not seek to make cookie cutter impressions of myself, but to equip the person with best tools I can to prepare him or her for living in an unsure world. Any comments would be welcome.
wow you obviously dont know how to fight, when you fight you keep your mind clear so you know what to do next. dont post comments when you dont know what your saying!
this is why a lot of good mma fighters will learn multiple styles so they could use this technique in a certain situation but have back up styles for a different situation. So be open to this and different styles so you will always be ready for what comes your way
This is a good drill and a bad scenario. With the exception of wing chun stylists, no one is gonna punch you like that. Even Bruce said these things are good exercise only.
It is amazing how any time there is a JKD video up, so many people are quick to say "this is JKD or this is not JKD." I love Spigmaz21's comment. To me JKD is a philosophy of honest human expression, my JKD should be different from yours based on body type, etc. I have seen Dan Inosanto do very similar techniques at seminars and such and if anybody has a right to use the term it is him. Probably why he doesn't call them JKD classes at his school anymore, but the "Martial Way". So much drama
Interception, allways think of hitting. Why tassle on the floor? In the streets maybe the guy has his best freind just around the corner and watstes you while you are down playing arm bar. THINK ABOUT IT!!
@Pantserboy Yes, but it's always good to have grapples in your arsenal, they aren't always the best choice for the job, but like a condom; I'd rather have one and not need it, than need one and not have it.
@Pantserboy I don't think your thinking the JKD way man, you take what works from what u learn and if it does not work for you you don't use it. One of my JKD partners is a big guy and his speed is not his best weapon, but ground fighting he is amazing at. In the end its not what you think works and not works, its what works on at the instant you need it. JKD is made up of over 27+ styles, don't diss what you don't no.
@TheAurors i really dont think he was dissin it and mabey he was but he does make a dam good point. if you are out at a bar and you get into a ground technique with your attacker 9 times out of 10 he is not at the bar alone and you can easy be in a bad spot on the ground.
@TheAurors Its not as easy as that. What Bruce did was not simply taking what works, it goes a lot further than that and the only way to know is to have trained with someone who had close contact with Bruce.
@Pantserboy He's just showing the technique you can do or use. He's not saying that you should do that on a street. Its still up to you what you should do, of course as a trainer, he'll show you ways or moves, its up to the student how he'll apply it. "THINK ABOUT IT"
@Pantserboy fighting isnt only for in the street, im a doorman and im not just gonna hit the guy 10 times until he is koed, better control him after a few hits if it was necessary.
The philosophie of JKD is to create ur own most efficent fighting style.
JKD only set up some basic´s.
Bruce lee use takedowns and grabbling too.
Okay if there are more opponents u have to move different... but if there´s only one submission is a good option. Bruce Lee always mentioned fighting isn´t calculable. Every fight requires different actions!
@Pantserboy in which case u would change strategy. if u already see 2 attackers it's best not to get on the floor yes. but if it's only 1 of them, with this technique however if his buddy shows up u could threaten to break his buddy's arm, and if he forced u to do so therefore it's 1 less attacker to worry about.
@DonMega187 Maybe it's not his buddy and he's just pissed off the whole affair. You never know what people might think. In my country ambulance personal are verbally AND physically attacked!! No strategy about it just BE AWARE!!! Don't think your safe taking 1 down in a lock, even if he's the only one cause what's next? Laying there all day with this guy? I don't think so...
@Pantserboy Yea think about it ........ in my opinion the solution would be to brake one mans arm and while hes down go and play arm bar with the other :D lmfao!!
@Pantserboy How fast is this guy around the corner that you couldn't just stand up when you hear or see him approaching? Also maybe you are surrounded say your enemy takes you down. At that point you may wish you had some jiu jitsu. I don't believe any martial art has the answer, though having an awareness of all may be the closest thing to an answer it also depends on what your bodies natural tendencies are. Also hard work is never wasted time either. Fight your fight, make your enemy fight you
Martial arts are almost certainly as old as humans are and constantly change and develope with time. Every martial art is similar to and influenced by every other martial art. Everyones bodies are almost the same and you notice the same types of kicks and punches in unconnected martial styles across the world because of this.
People have always travelled and therefore have always shared information. Kung fu influences all martial arts in the same way all martial arts influence kung fu
"If people say Jeet Kune Do is different from "this" or from "that," then let the name of Jeet Kune Do be wiped out, for that is what it is, just a name. Please don't fuss over it" -Sijo Bruce Lee
chineese were not the 1st people on earth and not the first to have a military and did not travel to all the world 4000 yrs ago and taught kungfu to all man.
Kungfu only came to the west about 200 years ago.
martial arts means war arts or fighting arts. you say that the first people to fight were kungfu people and they taught fighting to the rest of the world
I say that fighting began from the beginning of man kind
kungfu is is term used to describe fighting arts only found in china
you could be right. WuShu literally means Military Art and is specific, while Kung Fu can be used in a non Martial Arts context to mean "hard working" In 1964 WuShu was theterm used when the chineese set up their sports body International WuShu Federation & not KungFu
Also, kung fu wasn't even developed by a chinese man. It was created by Bodhidharma, an Indian buddhist monk, who founded chan buddhism, and established the shaolin monastary.
Bodhidharma didn't establish the Shaolin Monastery. there are even many doubts whether he actually taught exercise techniques (not even martial arts at that) because many believe a daoist priest or something forged his name centuries later.
aside from that, Chinese martial arts existed before the shaolin establishment (the first Chinese shaolin monks were already martial artists). in fact, Chinese martial arts existed before the introduction of buddhism in China.
many even believe bodhidharma is not a single person. and that there are many fictitious things that revolve around this monk, especially in reference to the Yì Jīn Jīng (Sinews/Muscle/Tendon Change Classic), which is the script, authored by a daoist "ignorant village master" in the 1600s i think, that many scholars and martial arts historians know is a forgery and a sham, due to usage of fictitious characters from Chinese literature, and cannot be verified or substantiated.
continuing from below...MMA has returned us to the days of war, they train like soldiers practicing for the "real fight". they punch and fight with simmilar mentallity and strength. It provides the closest answers to the what if questions. for years these traditions passed on hyperthetical responses to situations which people mastered and became very gracefull looking. They have mastered the arts of pretend fighting and mma fighters have mastered the art of almost street fighting.
martial art literaly means military art, the first original martial art was kung fu whcih all other martial arts stem from so how can you say that MMA people with their poor stances are the best? look up what kung li did to shamrock if you think kung fu doesnt work.
where did fighting styles come from, war. the warriors trained for battle which is nothing more than an organised sanctioned street fight between to villages. those who killed more went up the rank and earned the right to be called teachers, and taught beginners. in times on peace, the skills were passed on. generations later civilians lost touch with real fighting and created recreation arts. ranks and teachers immitated the real system. you are currently practicing one of these systems.
personally id rather become very very good at one art as opposed to pretty good or decent at a few. some ppl feel differently but i dont think most MMA fighters are technical in their fights and arent masters or the arts they practice. i love anderson silva, lyoto machita, GSP and thiago alves cuz i think they're legit.and i love brock lesnar cuz hes huge and mean lol
Anyways, it's just common sense... Based on my experience, thugs either attack you from behind or give you a straight hook in the face... Bottom Line is, stereotypical thugs usually punch...
yh i agree your obviously nt gnna try this in a street fight but the thing u gtta admire about bruce lee he made up his own style he didn't learn karate go in a fight and try to remember his moves lol
you guys all talk a lot about wut a street fight wuld be. 90 percent of ppl dont know how to fight. the ppl in ur hood who ppl say fight crazy probly fight like a fuckin idiot but there big strong and fast so ppl get fuckin intimidated. in a fight this guy wuldnt be goin slow mo hed be fast thats why this shit works. and u wuldnt kno that till uve fought someone whose dont this shit to you you ballsacks
you're right with the first half of your statement but take my word on it mate. I'm a professional Thai boxer and a lot of my friends are at similar skill levels in MMA and boxing. This shit doesn't work. Trapping doesn't work. Frankly, this crap just looks like traditional kung fu (which doesnt work) mixed with some things they've seen in MMA all whilst trying to pretend it's for self defence.
I think I agree. A trained fighter would never let you have the time to deliver x number of strikes then move in to an armbar. They'd smack you then out. Not convinced this is realistic, certainly against someone trained.
"How to transition from Hitting to Grappling"??? You never ever ever ever want to go from hitting to grappling. Never. There are no locks, only breaks.
many JKD instructors r full of ego n BS. bruce did not send people to bruce he said them to other sources. he did not say he is the way, the truth,the light, anyman cometh to the art must com through me. Many of the coaches r open minded and hav elevated their game. To improve completely you must learn, apply & teach. these 3 dimensions r keys to ur success. teach from ur heart not for the ego. be open to truth dont defend a point of view. apply it for evidence not to justify a point of view
That's a good attitude towards training to be honest. Unfortunately that's just not the way the world works. these "systems" usually take the same place in people's heads as religions. And nothing is more stupid than religion.
well see its open to debate. but the thing about fighting is that its all about the individual. i mean you cant say theres never been a kung fu guy to beat a muay thai fighter. and muay thai people beat kung fu fighters. it all boils down to the individual and quite frankly i mean i have friends in minor MMA leagues but i feel like alot of top contendors look more like a street fight then professionally trained fighters.
To be honest, I don't believe in this "it's the fighter, not the art" stuff. I'll not deny that a lot of it is on the fighter but the fact is that there IS a wrong and a right way to punch and kick etc. and if you go with a "martial art" that doesn't teach you these things properly then you're in an inferior art that will be seriously handicapping your abilities. This is the reason that most MMA ring fighters will cross train in very similar arts.
oh well obviously doing things the proper way is important ya kno? and personally i love kung fu, i do kung fu so thats my thing. but ppl diss it and wut i am tryin to say is not to say that i dont prefer kung fu over other arts, but to say that kung fu fighters lose to karate fighters and karate lose to kung fu etc. i used to be a huge MMA fan but gosh it makes me so mad sometimes i mean im still a fan but they look like a street brawl even in UFC 100 it was a great card but just looked crappy
But that's the point. Doing a technique properly doesn't neccesarily mean it looks nice. And take my word for it, a perfectly executed Tae Kwon Do style kick looks relaly nice, but it is of absolutely no use whatsoever in an actual fight. Whereas the Thai style kick is not a pretty kick, the thought behind it isn't very subtle, but it'll hit with just as much speed and a hell of a lot more power. And more importantly, you don't sacrifice much i nthe way of balance/defence to do it.
This training is old & out dated. when u think ur good ask ur self, good compared to who. lets say u did hit him 3 times then he smiles and slam u. Always asume you hav the tuffest opponent in the world then watch how ur training changes quickly. if u hav a conscience u wont teach nonsense
My friend, I can see you really don't understand what you're criticizing. You may think training in a ring is the ultimate in combat. But I ask you what happens when you leave the gym and three attackers surround you? Do you drop one of them and pull guard? Real world situations is what's trained in JKD. Multiple assailants, weapons, joint and limb destruction too. And yes, various methods from bjj,csw. judo, and jiujitsu to name a few.. The BS of tradition and ego was filtered out long ago.
In a street fight this video training is useless to a large degree. people dont giv u their hand, they dont leave it out for u 2 snap it or take them down. especially with 3 other guys kickn in their head. Neither cqn u perform all dis fancy strike, trap, takedown, snap, pose while 3 guys bash ur head wid a bat n stab u de back. Try it in a street fight, post ur video n prove me wrong. This is old traditional approach. Fight ing is real. this isnt.
I can see you've already made up your mind. Unfortunately until you empty your precieved understanding of what JKD actually is, there is nothing I nor anyone else can say to change that.
In my humble opinion, the harsh truth always lay in combat. Sparring has taught me that. JKD is not about traditions. It's about freedom from them. I can't make you see that. You have to see that for yourself. And you won't get that from a video on youtube.
If you base how good some one is in fighting when your looking at it like "1 man vs 4 men with weapons" , how can any one trained in any art survive ? Its not 1v1 , do you see any MMA fighters using the "Inner CIty Black Kid" style of fighting ?
many of the JKD instructors speak and behave the same way and share the same philosophies. They have strong cultural connections. They all scoff at and talk down to people who teach other philosophies and try to convince u that Lees way is the best of them all. MAny of them r not open minded to learning from anyone else. They r a cult that should be avoided. they despise people with out Martial Art certification. boxing, MMA, Wrestlers etc dont have rank and certification.
Not all JKD trainers teach the same i understand by your energy that you indulge in arts, but you must not generalize anyones style as a cult, and then on top of it, say that JKD should be avoided? I study JKD, jujitsu, tarantula, and a little style of a combination of them all, and ran across many JKD instuctors who are not bias to learning new techinques especially from the rare unheard style Tarantula in which my Vietnam vet father taught me as a child. Its pretty cool, all the best.
Tarantula is a MMA style consisting of three formations the third one is a way that you form your hands to mimic the tarantulas fangs and then strike at pressure points. this Technique is named poison fang. soon ill be uploading instructioanal vids on this topic. God bless
This guy is a joke! do step one to get to step two. and oh ya the opponent is going to stand there and let you do all this. BS, its like saying you can plan out a car crash. damn dude remember no techniques, it hits by itself. don't be fooled by this salesman.
wow.youve read the back cover of a book and now youre an expert.obviously thats the end result to be able to read a fight as it flows so you can do this and that when he/she does this or that.but how do you get there?Repeating it again and again in a controlled enviroment.once you get the movements down then your training partner can resist more and more,and then adjusting to what he/she is giving back.its called practice.you cant go full on every time coz youve got work or scholl in the morning
i was born in 1977. am too young for original mindset of marital arts birth. streets tested and trued. jeet kune do is fundamental in form but i wish to include: winner-defenition: he who expends the least amt of energy and suffers the least amt of damage. be it only to turn face and run, face will fight another day. forced to stand...face will another day fight. but always honor your motive.
go to DOG BROTHERS on youtube. u will see lots of JKD & Philapino trained stick fighters who were trainined & tested in their style but when it came to real stick fighting, failed.
because the fancy training and testing failed to prepare them for the real world.
Dog brothers was formed by many who came out of the Kali JKD system and seeked the truth about fighting. They then created an opportunity for others to experience the reality of a stick fight.
I don't expect you to understand the JKD mindset but here's a taste.
"Jeet Kune Do is not an organized institution that one can be a member of. Either you understand or you don't, and that is that. There is no mystery about my style. My movements are simple, direct and non-classical. The extraordinary part of it lies in its simplicity. Every movement in Jeet Kune-Do is being so of itself. There is nothing artificial about it. I always believe that the easy way is the right way."
Even if i might hit him in the face, he will pull back his arm while i try to pull his arm for takin him down... so its senseless to pull his arm!

how about at 0:19 i just kick you in your balls because you have no structure or defence with your unrealistic rehearsed trapping. This is NOT jkd people. Bruce would want me to make that clear because of all the useless nubs like this guy who have bastardized his art to fill their pockets.

As JKD is the formless form we should not fuss about what is JKD and what is not. YET the way of the INTERCEPTING fist has its principles. And the only four principles that really make that interception work are: 1) Simplicity; 2) Economy of Motion;
3) Longest Weapon to the Nearest Target;
4) Always Think of Hitting.;
Sifu with all my respect I do not see these principles in this video.

no martial art is better than the other its all about how you apply it with your own skills in a real life scenario thats why bruce invented JKD bc not all the moves from one style are gonna work for you everyone has a diff body build so thats how mma began to come around bc bruce realized to be a superior fighter you must look at all aspects and not be narrow minded with one train of thought.JKD is simply just a name for his style..anyone can invent their own style or name its w/e works for you
x123x321x 1 year ago
@x123x321x Not completely true. Bruce didnt want to be confined to a style, but he also made other changes. You can take what you think is useful and also violate the principlesof JKD. It's not as easy as just mixing some MA up.

bruce lees root is jun fan not JKD. JKD does not have a root if it is a philosophy and not a style. he used Junfan because that is what he was good at, if he was a wrestler then that'll be the base/root. JKD is using what is sensible. Therefore JKD concept or sensible fighting existed before, during & after lee. He taught nothing new.
marysighn 1 year ago
Bruce heavily emphasized that JKD is "using your way as the way." Which means, use what is good for YOU, absorbing what is useful, and rejecting what is useless for YOU. Why? Because everyone is different. These guys in this video aren't doing what would necessarily be good for YOU, but what they find good for THEMSELVES. However the CONCEPT of what they are doing is more important than the actual movement. Amen.

Bruce Lee came from a Wing Chun background, but he was at least vaguely familiar with the techniques of many styles.
While he kept various center-line and low-commitment mentalities, he changed them where he thought they were not effective, etc.
However, easily forgotten, is that even Bruce lee felt that any martial art must be tailored to its user, not everyone is as fast, or short, or light as Bruce Lee was..

Mr Woods, I truly enjoy your videos, keep up the good work. As I understand the concept of having "no fixed style" it means adapting the system to fit the student, not the student to the system. As an instructor, I do not seek to make cookie cutter impressions of myself, but to equip the person with best tools I can to prepare him or her for living in an unsure world. Any comments would be welcome.

It is amazing how any time there is a JKD video up, so many people are quick to say "this is JKD or this is not JKD." I love Spigmaz21's comment. To me JKD is a philosophy of honest human expression, my JKD should be different from yours based on body type, etc. I have seen Dan Inosanto do very similar techniques at seminars and such and if anybody has a right to use the term it is him. Probably why he doesn't call them JKD classes at his school anymore, but the "Martial Way". So much drama

@Pantserboy in which case u would change strategy. if u already see 2 attackers it's best not to get on the floor yes. but if it's only 1 of them, with this technique however if his buddy shows up u could threaten to break his buddy's arm, and if he forced u to do so therefore it's 1 less attacker to worry about.

Martial arts are almost certainly as old as humans are and constantly change and develope with time. Every martial art is similar to and influenced by every other martial art. Everyones bodies are almost the same and you notice the same types of kicks and punches in unconnected martial styles across the world because of this.
People have always travelled and therefore have always shared information. Kung fu influences all martial arts in the same way all martial arts influence kung fu

Also, kung fu wasn't even developed by a chinese man. It was created by Bodhidharma, an Indian buddhist monk, who founded chan buddhism, and established the shaolin monastary.
charkoly 2 years ago
You're wrong.
Bodhidharma didn't establish the Shaolin Monastery. there are even many doubts whether he actually taught exercise techniques (not even martial arts at that) because many believe a daoist priest or something forged his name centuries later.
aside from that, Chinese martial arts existed before the shaolin establishment (the first Chinese shaolin monks were already martial artists). in fact, Chinese martial arts existed before the introduction of buddhism in China.
M3diaCultur3 2 years ago
many even believe bodhidharma is not a single person. and that there are many fictitious things that revolve around this monk, especially in reference to the Yì Jīn Jīng (Sinews/Muscle/Tendon Change Classic), which is the script, authored by a daoist "ignorant village master" in the 1600s i think, that many scholars and martial arts historians know is a forgery and a sham, due to usage of fictitious characters from Chinese literature, and cannot be verified or substantiated.

where did fighting styles come from, war. the warriors trained for battle which is nothing more than an organised sanctioned street fight between to villages. those who killed more went up the rank and earned the right to be called teachers, and taught beginners. in times on peace, the skills were passed on. generations later civilians lost touch with real fighting and created recreation arts. ranks and teachers immitated the real system. you are currently practicing one of these systems.

well see its open to debate. but the thing about fighting is that its all about the individual. i mean you cant say theres never been a kung fu guy to beat a muay thai fighter. and muay thai people beat kung fu fighters. it all boils down to the individual and quite frankly i mean i have friends in minor MMA leagues but i feel like alot of top contendors look more like a street fight then professionally trained fighters.
mikebarros6 2 years ago
To be honest, I don't believe in this "it's the fighter, not the art" stuff. I'll not deny that a lot of it is on the fighter but the fact is that there IS a wrong and a right way to punch and kick etc. and if you go with a "martial art" that doesn't teach you these things properly then you're in an inferior art that will be seriously handicapping your abilities. This is the reason that most MMA ring fighters will cross train in very similar arts.
ephasm 2 years ago
oh well obviously doing things the proper way is important ya kno? and personally i love kung fu, i do kung fu so thats my thing. but ppl diss it and wut i am tryin to say is not to say that i dont prefer kung fu over other arts, but to say that kung fu fighters lose to karate fighters and karate lose to kung fu etc. i used to be a huge MMA fan but gosh it makes me so mad sometimes i mean im still a fan but they look like a street brawl even in UFC 100 it was a great card but just looked crappy
mikebarros6 2 years ago
But that's the point. Doing a technique properly doesn't neccesarily mean it looks nice. And take my word for it, a perfectly executed Tae Kwon Do style kick looks relaly nice, but it is of absolutely no use whatsoever in an actual fight. Whereas the Thai style kick is not a pretty kick, the thought behind it isn't very subtle, but it'll hit with just as much speed and a hell of a lot more power. And more importantly, you don't sacrifice much i nthe way of balance/defence to do it.

I can see you've already made up your mind. Unfortunately until you empty your precieved understanding of what JKD actually is, there is nothing I nor anyone else can say to change that.
In my humble opinion, the harsh truth always lay in combat. Sparring has taught me that. JKD is not about traditions. It's about freedom from them. I can't make you see that. You have to see that for yourself. And you won't get that from a video on youtube.

Not all JKD trainers teach the same i understand by your energy that you indulge in arts, but you must not generalize anyones style as a cult, and then on top of it, say that JKD should be avoided?

go to DOG BROTHERS on youtube. u will see lots of JKD & Philapino trained stick fighters who were trainined & tested in their style but when it came to real stick fighting, failed.
because the fancy training and testing failed to prepare them for the real world.
Dog brothers was formed by many who came out of the Kali JKD system and seeked the truth about fighting. They then created an opportunity for others to experience the reality of a stick fight.

I don't expect you to understand the JKD mindset but here's a taste.
"Jeet Kune Do is not an organized institution that one can be a member of. Either you understand or you don't, and that is that. There is no mystery about my style. My movements are simple, direct and non-classical. The extraordinary part of it lies in its simplicity. Every movement in Jeet Kune-Do is being so of itself. There is nothing artificial about it. I always believe that the easy way is the right way."
-Bruce Lee
