I'm on the second episode and "Mon Sao" is not garbage hands. Its asking hands. "Mon" is "Ask". Garbage in Cantonese is "Lap Sap". So Garbage hand would be "Lap Sap Sao". I find it humorous just by saying it. lol. I hope you correct that in your future instructional videos.
I dont Know about JKD that mutch and i may have understod wrong but i thik that combining kikboxig with sticky hand and other ving chun is totaly s....d because they have a totaly different concept. but hey i could be wrong
C'mon guys, those boxing hooks and crosses weren't wing chun, nor was the grappling and the round kicks. Bruce Lee's JKD included a lot of wing chun, because that was his first martial art, but you can't try to claim every technique you see for your particular martial art alone.
This is REAL JKD. You(RonBalicki) and Ron Kosakowski(youtube name: RonOrGina) are on the top of my list of great JKD Instructors. Great martial artists continuing the art of Jun Fan Gung Fu/Jeet Kune Do.
I would have to agree with xXXdimixx on this one. Bruce lee DID base alot of his theory from wing chun. After all, he DID learn from Ip Man. Ever watch his documentaries? He says and agrees that he does not have a style. He believed that one with a fixed routine has a hell of a lot harder time dealing with one who has broken rhythm. From what I see, he took wing chun and took some of it to use as a basis as his "broken rhythm." Don't flame me if you do not agree just throw in your input.
Plane and simple, you cant learn Jeet-Kune-Do from DVD's no matter how good the Sifu. You might no how to "do" what he shows you but actually applying and the feeling of the "technique" not a chance unless you actually practice it with a partner
Hello Sifu Ronbalicki I wanted to ask you about Jerry Petterson and his system. He actually professes to having a fighting science that trumps everything else.I've bought the videos and although some material is different and effective I don't see how it could be the worlds deadliest system.His style focuses on a concept of multiple strikes to vital soft areas like Kenpo but he doesn't acknowledge any root system.Is it all just marketing ploy or is it as advertised in your opinion
A few of the "grappling" moves were a little off. Or at least could be modified to increase effectiveness. Cool stuff other than that I guess, some muay Thai wouldn't hurt either.
@xXXdimixx wing chun and jeet kune do are very similar although if bruce lee were alive today we would be able to tell the difference alot better due to how progressively jeet kune do evolves.....for remember bruce lee created it based off of a combination of everything in the scenario....
Have to say, purely from watching the trailer, you seem to have trained hard for many years in every aspect of fighting in the most efficient ways thought possible bar actually getting into daily streetfights. Your trailer is pretty inspiring to watch.
You respect the traditional martial arts and you're not afraid to get into a ring - whether it be striking or grappling. I think you are living Bruce Lee's philosophy and you are a man who knows actions speak louder than words.
I own this DVD set and it's completely 100% great, effective and the real deal. I refer to it often in my training and very thankful that this information has been shared.
Sifu Balicki, what is your opinion on Octacio Qintero and his comment on what is and what isnt JKD? I mean I know that the Jun Fan Gung Fu preceded the Concepts. But how do we differentiate from what is effective knowledge and what is fraud?
Okay first of all, some of you are doing the exact thing, Bruce Lee did not want to happen. You're getting wrapped up in what is a name and what is not. 2nd of all, I have full confidence in what Rpn Balicki is doing in the videos considering who he trains with ona regular basis, however your are free to disagree with him and myself. But what is ridiculous is all the hatred and immaturity I'm reading here. Grow up!!
@Ronbalicki Maybe you should spend your time trying to hate on other people. I was just stating that sticky hand is impossible to learn from a video...didn't comment on any of the other points they made now did I. i am well aware of the other things they teach which is fine...but learning an improper form of sticky hands will fuck up almost half of the shit they are trying to teach...just my oppinion...isn't that what commentary is for...have a nice day
@kikme420 Not hating on anyone. I just think one should comment on the video after watching it. You would have seen that it is a guide for someone more than an instruction on how to do Chi Sao.
Ron Balicki is a direct student of JKD by way of Dan Inosanto. That makes him nearly first generation JKD. The reason JKD is still alive is because of Dan and students like Ron Balicki. I do not personally know Ron, but I do know SiFu Dan as I was one of his students at the Torrance Kali Academy in the eighties. This is real JKD. Ron your style of teaching is very much the likes of Sifu. I am impressed as you have obtained your credentials through the closest available link to Bruce.
@Ronbalicki I just happened across a comment from a person who is critical of your dvds. I am from a tough area of new jersey called Newark. I spend a lot of time teaching street boxing for self defense and I got the idea of gunting from you filipino boxing dvd. IT WORKS! an works well. I personally am not impressed with much, but you put out good stuff. The idea that you have to adhere to a particular method is trumped by the fact that what you teach works in real life.
@kikme420 I can tell you from experience that you CAN learn sensitivity from videos provided you have good people to work with. I wanted to learn JKD as a kid in the 80's. There were no schools in my area. I started with books then videos. I got the chance a while back to test my skill at a Paul Vunak seminar. They were amazed when I told them that I only learned through books and videos. Ron, is right. You ABSOLUTELY can learn if you are dedicated.
@Ronbalicki It seems near impossible to remember all these techinques I guess thats why it takes so long to become a full instructor i hope the Inosanto Academy NEVER closes down. Does Dan Inosanto reward a sash type system to those who arent picked to become instructors?
@Mider999 its not about memorizing the techniques as you do in karate and other martial arts,you have to feel them,thats why is called sticking hands,and if you need a better explanation to understand this,should take a look at wing chun which is what bruce lee was first taught by Ip Man,jeet kune do is just an adaptation bruce lee made to the wing chun he knew,and you dont start chi sao with both hands,you should start with one,thats the way its originally taught
@Ronbalicki i'm certain you are a great fighter, but this is for sport. jeet kune do is not a sport. what about eye gouging, nut shots everything many people would call cheating? jeet kune do is not set by any rules or regulations.
@islamohamad Did you not recognize who the instructors are? lol How could it be fake when 2 of the top practitioners of the art are teaching and one was for certain a direct and top student of Bruce Lee himself! Ultra Fail!
@islamohamad as opposed to what? Clarify yourself - any statement made (agree or disagree) gives an opportunity for growth provided aforementioned statement has anything to analyse or discuss...which yours does not btw
@Ronbalicki Yeah, and certainly not making videos about they dont know. Inosanto left the way of jkd long time ago, searching for more profitable teachings.
@THMX1000 Inosanto has done more for martial arts than you ever will. If you think he does it for the money only proves you know nothing about the man.
@THMX1000 look, while i agree that ted wong has done the best job of preserving jun fan jeet kune do., i think what inosanto has done has made it more accessible. not everyone can handle the perfect straight lead.
@THMX1000 Wow! Do they really let you outside without your helmet? You talk a lot of crap for someone who hasn't posted a single video of himself to let others critique. Step in the ring, Arschloch! Mr. Balicki often gives seminars in Germany. Why don't you go to one and call him out? I would love to see the outcome of that on YouTube.
@BigSkippy1263 I'M an old school wt dude that toyd with sum of steve fristos people here in memphis years ago well i got invited 2 cum & have a frendly spareing session in jackson tn.by the russel robins & xavier jkd crowd in jackson ,tn i had been studying kali bout 1&half yr b4 i went .they luvd my fighting so much i was welcumed n2 the school as wt teacher & i in turn bcame jkd student now i'm pushing 4 jkdcertification as well as high level kalista luv being a student again nice 2emptymycup
@islamohamad He's a full instructor under Dan Inosanto who trained under Bruce Lee and was his best friend. You cant get any most real then that. Were did you learn JKD? You know how long it takes to become a full instructor under Inosanto? It takes 15 years Not only is Ron Balicki a instructor under Inosanto in JKD but also Filiino Martial arts. and Maphalindo Silat, as well as Shooto i think and Savate and other arts. Only person that i know is higher under Inosanto would be Rick Faye
@3876samf - YAWN! At least try and hold together a cogent argument....profanity, homophobia and hatred are not exactly conducive to a meaningful discourse and are diametrically opposed to personal growth and honesty (the core of JKD).
BTW there are lots of online dictionaries for the long words....
Wing chun isnt JKD. Read the tao of jeet kune do the only book lee ever written. He draws and explains western boxing is best used for hands and he suses a thai boxing stance. none of this wing chun shit is in it. all becuase bruce le starting in wing chun dosent make it useful. Even he left wing chun. If he thought it was effective he wouldnt have left.
How I wish you or one of your certified students could open up school here in Calgary, Canada. I have trained in karate then lately in JKD under uncertified instructor (if you can call this JKD), now I want to train with someone under Inosanto/yours lineage. Any suggestion, Sifu?
@dynamitedragon1 Shamelss plug from me, but I am an instructor under Sifu Vunak in Calgary (I suppose that makes my lineage a "cousin" line to Sifu Balicki's)
@dynamitedragon1 I could offer you a suggestion, It depends on what your goal is, If you want to be a real fighter or someone who can show some very cool looking moves but not really fight well in a real situation, Train in any system you feel like, but also train in something full contact where you get to put the moves to the test in a full contact environment, you will soon see that certified instructors are not all that special. cross train and find what works for you, good luck friend!
@CalgaryPFS I totally agree they are like a cult, i have tried telling them jkd is not a system and there is no such thing as real jkd? but they team up against you and they have missed the boat , they need to grow up.
I didn't have the energy to read all the arguments here. My percetion is that any instructor and marital artis who devoted his life to perfection of movement and technique deserves respect no matter what discipline he practices.
I am a martial artist and I have been training all my life. I didn't have the opportunity to train JKD but there is one concept that I accepted long time ago. The concept of freedom from form , a strive to become an universal fighter.
this is a fake. This isn't Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do but concept jeet kune do. Real Jun Fan JKD is that taught by Ted Wong. I do JF JKD and we don't have catch or "sticky hands". Please don't "peddle" this for JF JKD!!! This is the JKD taught by Dan Inosanto. Inosanto is not a JF JKD master. Please be informed. Inosanto teaches The Art and Philosophy of Jeet Kune Do, Filipino martial arts, Shoot wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Silat, mixed martial arts and other arts. Real JF JKD teach
I read some of the posts on this video and i can't believe all the hatred. A real martial artist doesn't need to cut down someone to make them feel better. Most people in it for the long term realize that you don't agree with everything another practitioner does or says. I try to take what works for me period. Ron Balicki has a wealth of knowledge in martial arts and i think he does a pretty good job on his videos. I am shocked by all the bad comments. Wow disrespectful. Ron Balicki kicks ass
@colorsport311 On youtube everyone is a critic. Even those who have never trained, never been in fights, and never met anyone who has and still have the thought that they know everything when it comes to Bruce Lee and Martial Arts because they have played Mortal Kombat, watched some Jet Li films, and are addicted to MMA. They have every right to be disrespectful lol. Ignorance is truly bliss, just like being able to comment on Youtube lol.
@colorsport311 " A real martial artist doesn't need to cut down someone to make them feel better."
... You've got to understand a "martial artist" is just someone who practices a martial art. That doesn't make them morally better than anyone else. Boxers are martial artists. Wrestlers too. Just because a few eastern martial arts throw in some philosophy on how to live better in with their teachings on how to beat someone's face in (or the air, depending on your dojo) doesn't = better people.
@stimp01 sorry, erm i belive at least Ron Balicki can kick you ass like how soccer player kick a soccer ball. you suck more you can't do and you can't teach.
lol, I find it funny that a man who claims to be a JKD instructor has fought MMA... I guess you can say that adding grappling is okay but turning fighting into a sport was COMPLETELY against Bruce Lee's teachings...
@hegone93 You are so flipping unedjucated! It really makes you sound stupid. Where is there a law that said Bruce was against anyone compeating? He taught people like Joe Lewis and many others who fought. Just because your unhappy with yourself and your martial arts development doesn't mean you have to come here with your garbage. Grow up!
@Ronbalicki I am uneducated? Joe Lewis was the only recorded competition fighter ever trained by Bruce Lee. On top of that, Joe only trained for about a year (not even) with Bruce. After that time, they had a mystical falling out. Could it be that Bruce did not agree with fighting in competitions? If Bruce Lee thought it was just fine to fight in competitions then why didn't he do it more often? He was invited to plenty of them, but he generally only demonstrated because he believed fighting
@hegone93 Nothing mystical about there parting. Joe told me and also stated in Dr. Jerry Besley's book "the JKD experience" that he ended the relationship with Bruce Lee. He said he was a very jealous guy. Joe's wife cut Bruce's hair. She told Joe that Bruce was hitting on her. So, he confronted Bruce. Bruce laughed and called Linda over to hear Joe's story. Joe was embarrassed and left, never seeing Bruce again. Bruce trained other fighters like Mike Stone and others...
@Ronbalicki should be saved for a self-defense situation. The only fighting you ever saw Bruce Lee do on camera was sparring, and he did not even want people filming him in these sessions. It sounds to me that you are angry and you would like to sell more DVDs and more lessons, so you don't like it when someone comes on here and calls you out.
@hegone93 Yeah, you're probably right, I am angry. I apologize for that. I tend to go off on others when they cal me out. I guess I need to work on that, but don't try and accuse me of just trying to sell DVD's. I love and train this art every day. Just because I am fortunate enough to make a living off something I love doesn't make me anything other than driven and happy. Best wishes Ron
@Ronbalicki You seem to love what you do very much. The fact that you trained with Dan Inosanto is proof enough for most. I tend to have a problem with competition fighting (modern competition fighting mostly) because I feel like it is turning fighting into a popularity contest and training people to be thugs. You do not seem like that type though and I am not sure why I went off on you, I apologize.
I don't know where you got that from. But in all the material I've read and seen about and on Bruce Lee I never came across a statement like that. Maybe you could refer to an interview or quotation from an article or book?
JKD is just about fusing chinese kungfu style with all types of fighting....for example....have kung fu as main style while doing at the same time....boxing, wrestling, muay tai, Karate, jujit su... and much more....Kung fu by itself is the best and almost unbeatable style of fighting without fighting...kung fu-the chinese way is the most peaceful without fight way to beat the opponent.. if you fuse it with any other style, you become like water, SHAPELESS... just like bruce lee says
Who the hell would want DVD's I'd rather join a school or dojo. Ironic part is I live in Los Angeles and I went to chinatown looking for Bruce Lee's old chinatown dojo but could not find it, I was wondering if it was still open.
@DarkestStealth Sifu Mark Stewart has a training group in Los Angeles Chinatown at the alpine rec center near Dodger stadium. Now days one of his students teaches as he is busy running around Asia. Or at least that was the case when I stopped training there many years ago. Mark stopped teaching the Concepts JKD and started teaching 1973 JKD under the supervision of Ted Wong. I believe the class is still going on there. It used to be Sundays at about 9:00 am.
Some Guy goes THE DOG BROTHERS were to dangerous for UFC but that was years ago...........yeah well years ago is when they allowed heat butts and shots to the back of the head what does that tell you?
So some jerk off says that Ron Balicki and the Dog brothers dont even really do FMA or JKD they just use kick boxing and stuff. HELL WHO DO THEY THINK WAS ONE OF HTE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT KICK BOXING OT AMERICA UM BRUCE LEE.
Hello, I have a question regarding the punches seen in this video. How come the punches are boxing styled i.e. knuckles up and stricking witht eh 1st 2 knuckles as oppose to the characteristic jeet kune do strike of elbow down/centered and stricking with teh bottom 3 knuckles? Your reply would be appreciated =)
@FU0C0 It looks like this guy has a big kickboxing history and therefore has had a lot of practice with the horizontal knuckles, he probably has good speed, timing, power and strategy punching this way. Therefore, it would be more beneficial to him to carry on this x-years of experience with punching horziontally than starting fresh vertically.
Hey Ron, Saw D.L's Movie, the Sensei. You must be very proud. Thank you for your time and energy put into this work and I look forward to seeing more work of this nature. I think people forget their humanity in search for control over it. Thanks for teaching the real authentic concepts and remaining in the spirit. Paz.
Is that true my Balicki that William Cheung as he claims for himself was the Wing Chun instructor of Bruce Lee in terms of his Wing Chun knowledge?
I train cheung's wing chun and I would really like to know IF THIS STATEMWNT that the Grandmaster Cheung told us during a seminar in my country is true or not.
Forgive me for my bad english! I am not english native speaker.....
These guys seem to forget about Taky and they throw Teds name in his place! my God, what was Ted thinking to let Terri Tom take over.I never have heard Ted say anything negative about Sifu Dan, but he allows his people too! Sijo would be ashamed! - JKD, to Bruce was all about evolution. '64 B. Lee looked nothing like the '73 B.lee. And If he were alive today, he would look nothing like what Sifu Ted is teaching! We cannot rewrite history just to make our instructors seem more than they are!
Even then never mind, Ted teach the original, he learned from Bruce, he was Lees last student and spend the most hours privet training with him. bringink Taki in, all Lees students including Bruce himself, say JKD isnt meant to be mixed with other arts, its like mixing water with oil, it will separate.. How even do that, it takes hundred thousand of repetitions to get only the straight lead right. And what is with the rest of jkd techniques. Never mind JKD is only for few people.
@Leejou1 JKD is made up of many arts. So to say that it is not meant to be mixed is very wrong. But, I will agree with you that Ted was a private student. What makes you think that he was the last? Inosanto was training with him until Bruce died. You started this thing by coming to me and saying that I do not do JKD. Look, you go do your thing and we will do ours. To me that is what JKD is all about.
By the way, Bruce has always signed up with his full name Bruce Lee, and not B. Lee. Just as information, for a case that somebody claims Bruce certified him and Lees supposed signature isnt "Bruce Lee" but "B. Lee"...
@Leejou1 WRONG! Ted is not certified by Bruce Lee. He got it after Bruce died. He is certified by Dan Inosanto. You are right, there were 3 men but Ted was not 1 of them. It was Taky. You can't change history. Ted was ranked under Bruce but not as an instructor. It's like getting a color belt. He was not Black Belt level.
Just to clear the things up: There are three people who where certified by Bruce Lee: James Lee, Ted Wong and Dan Inosanto! Telling that Ted isnt certified by Bruce is either a wilful lie or a simple ignorance!
In the original we attack weak points, grion, knees, eyes, throat, we dont do go from point A to B to C and than punch or kick. We go direct the target. And the stance is very important, no exposed groin, toe to the arch foot position, rear hand in front of the chin, compact stance thats jkd.
@shulom1 Tao isnt written by bruces its a collection of his notices over the years, and many of those are obsolete. The book was put together after his death. Its not how to do jkd right book. The method fighting books are also not up to date, because its the early stage of lees jkd. It doesnt have half beat footwork only one beat and static, but you can learn far more jkd from it than from concepts where is no lees jkd.
By the way, Ted was first taught in china town school by bruce, when bruce wasnt teaching dan taught the class. Than Bruce took Ted to his home, taught and trained with Bruce there private. He never got back to a school again. He only was taught by Bruce and how he could get certified by Inosanto then?? Maybe you should do your researches better.
@Leejou1 Stop crying. Dan gave Ted his certificate, end of story. Dan is Ted's instructor. You should tell him to teach his students the true history. Bruce made 3 instructors and Ted was not one of them. I am so done with this boring discussion.
@Ronbalicki Man, those that know will know. You can't teach the ignorant to grow. They've got to do it on their own. They have to really research. I know of the so-called controversy, but the truth as far as the Arts go, which is different for all of us, is based on our own unfolding and enfolding, to borrow from Ken Wilber. Most people need to feel a stamp of approval to feel authentic. As Bruce said, "when you understand movement you don't need a style."
@Bladestar7 What does it matter what Ron thinks about Octavio's comments? What's more important is what you think of Octavio's comments. Or any one elses for that matter. There's too much opinions floating around out on the net and not enough facts. The only way to get facts is go out and practice. Train. Take what u've learned and put it under pressure. Test it out for yourself. Then it really won't matter what others say. Good luck in training.
@harkyo So bascially when you mean movement . You're talking about footwork. How you enter and evade will determine when you strike or counterstrike etc... right?
Funny how Inosanto is the only one claiming teaching the same you do. But all other Lees top students such as Ted Wong, Howard Williams, Leo Fong, Taki Kimura, even Jesse dont.And Jesse who knows JKD but doesnt tech it, and he says he doesnt teach it for a difference to Dan who just uses the name jkd to promote his thing. Funny how he is the only one claiming jkd is everything with no technique.
@Leejou1 You make no logical argument. Inosanto is the highest ranked person under Bruce Lee. Sorry, that is just fact. Jesse was trained under Bruce in his Seattle days. He had not develop JKD when Jesses trained under him. Jesse uses the JKD name and that is fine, who cares. Ted was also a student of Inosanto's and that is also fact. Taky is the highest ranked in Jun Fan (higher than Inosanto). Taky still sends everyone to Inosanto for JKD training. You need to research more. Best
Well I`m one of teds line, dan isnt the only one high ranked under bruce. The thing dan and you are teaching has nothing to do with lees late jkd. Thats a fact, maybe you should ask ted about jkd who has trained the most time with lee and was also his very last private student. The only way bruces jkd evolution went was getting simpler and more direct over the years and not collecting millions of useless techniques that only work when the opponent let you do it.
@Leejou1 Ted should be honest with you and come clean. Inosanto is the man who gave Ted his rank as instructor. Everyone knows it's true, so should you. And as far as useless techniques. If you want to prove them useless come on over.
Yeah now it comes, even if thats true, ted ist the one worked the most time with bruce and was his last training partner. Do you think if Lee hadnt die so early hed certified more people exept dan??? Do you think Bruce knew he would die at 32? What ever, even Dan says that the backyard training with bruce was only kicking and punching.
@Ronbalicki Never heard of it before, this is bullshit if you ask me! I havee heard many stories from concept people to explain the difference between their stuff to the Bruces but this is the most craziest!
@Leejou1 Never heard of what? What are you talking about? Concepts are concepts. The problem with you is that you think that because I go with the concept I don't know the original material. This is wrong. I do know the material. I just chose to try and grow beyond it. You should try it.
Never heard dan zertiefied ted in anything. Looking beyond original? What means, going more complex and indirect? Do that all useles trapping against a real fast attack, where you dont know what ist coming. Why dont just back up and kick in the groin or attack eyes instead of complicated joint locks. Original is to go simple and direct as possible, everything else is less efficient.
@Leejou1 Ted received his instructors certificate after Bruce died. Dan thought that he had reached a level that Bruce would have been okay with him getting it. Dan gave it to Larry Hartsell and Ted Wong. As far as your theory of what to do if attacked, it's just theory. If you want to go there we can argue all day.
@Ronbalicki As far as I know its true for Hartsell, but not Ted. Never heard anybody saying that, not Ted nor any of his students. Well jkd is all about efficiency, but as bruce said, only very little percentage of people can really get it. And how many stick to the original? not many! The man was right.
@Ronbalicki Just to clear the things up: There are three people who where certified by Bruce Lee: James Lee, Ted Wong and Dan Inosanto! Telling that Ted isnt certified by Bruce is either a wilful lie or a simple ignorance!
@Ronbalicki Some jerk off was saying that JKD guys dont really use.....well JKD they use Kick Boxing and stuff but then again who was one of hte first people to bring kickboxing to america um let me think BRUCE LEE. MMA is a great sport and all but these guys are getting more annoying every day. They say that the Dog Brothers dont even use FMA much anymore cause it doesnt work what crap
@Leejou1 DO UR HOMEWORK! Bruce certified 3 instructors - Taky Kimura, James Lee, Dan Inosanto. Bruce also had at one time ranking in JKD. Also you could be ranked in 3 different areas. Tao of Chinese Gung Fu, Jun Fan and Jeet Kune Do. In Jun Fan Taky held 5th rank, James & Dan held 3rd rank. Dan. In Jeet Kune Do only Dan was certified as a 3rd rank instructor. Ted was given 2nd rank by Bruce. 2nd rank was not instructor level. Dan promoted Ted to 3rd rank making him an instructor.
What really amazes me the most about all this, is how Ted allows it to continue. I have never heard him talk about Sifu Dan like this but he allows his people to. Sijo would be ashamed. Sijo was all about evolving. '64 Bruce Lee looked nothing like the 1973 Bruce Lee! Fact! And If he was alive today, I KNOW that he would look nothing like what SifuTed is teaching now! Just because we love and respect our instructors doesn't mean that we can recreate history to make them more than what they are!
truth to be said, there aren't more than 5-6 people alive today who were traint directly by Bruce lee, so noone can claim with certainty that this is real jeet kune do...same goes with mr Carruthers, and many other ''expert'' masters..
To make it even more spicy, Bruce had forsake the name ''j.k.d'', because of the confussion it brought to his student,and his '' non style'' concept.
But truth to be said , J.K.D or not this video and most of the series look solid!
I'm on the second episode and "Mon Sao" is not garbage hands. Its asking hands. "Mon" is "Ask". Garbage in Cantonese is "Lap Sap". So Garbage hand would be "Lap Sap Sao". I find it humorous just by saying it. lol. I hope you correct that in your future instructional videos.

I would have to agree with xXXdimixx on this one. Bruce lee DID base alot of his theory from wing chun. After all, he DID learn from Ip Man. Ever watch his documentaries? He says and agrees that he does not have a style. He believed that one with a fixed routine has a hell of a lot harder time dealing with one who has broken rhythm. From what I see, he took wing chun and took some of it to use as a basis as his "broken rhythm." Don't flame me if you do not agree just throw in your input.

Have to say, purely from watching the trailer, you seem to have trained hard for many years in every aspect of fighting in the most efficient ways thought possible bar actually getting into daily streetfights. Your trailer is pretty inspiring to watch.
You respect the traditional martial arts and you're not afraid to get into a ring - whether it be striking or grappling. I think you are living Bruce Lee's philosophy and you are a man who knows actions speak louder than words.

But what is ridiculous is all the hatred and immaturity I'm reading here. Grow up!!

This is more of a JKD Concepts, since its from Inosanto, and Jun Fan Gung Fu (Alot of trapping)

Ron Balicki is a direct student of JKD by way of Dan Inosanto. That makes him nearly first generation JKD. The reason JKD is still alive is because of Dan and students like Ron Balicki. I do not personally know Ron, but I do know SiFu Dan as I was one of his students at the Torrance Kali Academy in the eighties. This is real JKD. Ron your style of teaching is very much the likes of Sifu. I am impressed as you have obtained your credentials through the closest available link to Bruce.

I spend a lot of time teaching street boxing for self defense and I got the idea of gunting from you filipino boxing dvd. IT WORKS! an works well. I personally am not impressed with much, but you put out good stuff. The idea that you have to adhere to a particular method is trumped by the fact that what you teach works in real life.

@kikme420 I can tell you from experience that you CAN learn sensitivity from videos provided you have good people to work with. I wanted to learn JKD as a kid in the 80's. There were no schools in my area. I started with books then videos. I got the chance a while back to test my skill at a Paul Vunak seminar. They were amazed when I told them that I only learned through books and videos. Ron, is right. You ABSOLUTELY can learn if you are dedicated.

@Mider999 its not about memorizing the techniques as you do in karate and other martial arts,you have to feel them,thats why is called sticking hands,and if you need a better explanation to understand this,should take a look at wing chun which is what bruce lee was first taught by Ip Man,jeet kune do is just an adaptation bruce lee made to the wing chun he knew,and you dont start chi sao with both hands,you should start with one,thats the way its originally taught

@dynamitedragon1 I could offer you a suggestion, It depends on what your goal is, If you want to be a real fighter or someone who can show some very cool looking moves but not really fight well in a real situation, Train in any system you feel like, but also train in something full contact where you get to put the moves to the test in a full contact environment, you will soon see that certified instructors are not all that special. cross train and find what works for you, good luck friend!

I didn't have the energy to read all the arguments here. My percetion is that any instructor and marital artis who devoted his life to perfection of movement and technique deserves respect no matter what discipline he practices.
I am a martial artist and I have been training all my life. I didn't have the opportunity to train JKD but there is one concept that I accepted long time ago. The concept of freedom from form , a strive to become an universal fighter.

Just because a few eastern martial arts throw in some philosophy on how to live better in with their teachings on how to beat someone's face in (or the air, depending on your dojo) doesn't = better people.

@Ronbalicki I am uneducated? Joe Lewis was the only recorded competition fighter ever trained by Bruce Lee. On top of that, Joe only trained for about a year (not even) with Bruce. After that time, they had a mystical falling out. Could it be that Bruce did not agree with fighting in competitions? If Bruce Lee thought it was just fine to fight in competitions then why didn't he do it more often? He was invited to plenty of them, but he generally only demonstrated because he believed fighting
hegone93 1 year ago
@hegone93 Nothing mystical about there parting. Joe told me and also stated in Dr. Jerry Besley's book "the JKD experience" that he ended the relationship with Bruce Lee. He said he was a very jealous guy. Joe's wife cut Bruce's hair. She told Joe that Bruce was hitting on her. So, he confronted Bruce. Bruce laughed and called Linda over to hear Joe's story. Joe was embarrassed and left, never seeing Bruce again. Bruce trained other fighters like Mike Stone and others...

@Ronbalicki should be saved for a self-defense situation. The only fighting you ever saw Bruce Lee do on camera was sparring, and he did not even want people filming him in these sessions.

@FU0C0 It looks like this guy has a big kickboxing history and therefore has had a lot of practice with the horizontal knuckles, he probably has good speed, timing, power and strategy punching this way.

How even do that, it takes hundred thousand of repetitions to get only the straight lead right. And what is with the rest of jkd techniques. Never mind JKD is only for few people.

@Leejou1 JKD is made up of many arts. So to say that it is not meant to be mixed is very wrong. But, I will agree with you that Ted was a private student. What makes you think that he was the last?

There's too much opinions floating around out on the net and not enough facts. The only way to get facts is go out and practice. Train. Take what u've learned and put it under pressure. Test it out for yourself. Then it really won't matter what others say. Good luck in training.

@harkyo Well said Harkyo but what so-called controversey are you talking about?
Bladestar7 1 year ago
@harkyo So bascially when you mean movement . You're talking about footwork. How you enter and evade will determine when you strike or counterstrike etc... right?
BTW, what controversey are you talking about?

Funny how Inosanto is the only one claiming teaching the same you do. But all other Lees top students such as Ted Wong, Howard Williams, Leo Fong, Taki Kimura, even Jesse dont.And Jesse who knows JKD but doesnt tech it, and he says he doesnt teach it for a difference to Dan who just uses the name jkd to promote his thing. Funny how he is the only one claiming jkd is everything with no technique.

@Leejou1 You make no logical argument. Inosanto is the highest ranked person under Bruce Lee. Sorry, that is just fact. Jesse was trained under Bruce in his Seattle days. He had not develop JKD when Jesses trained under him. Jesse uses the JKD name and that is fine, who cares. Ted was also a student of Inosanto's and that is also fact. Taky is the highest ranked in Jun Fan (higher than Inosanto). Taky still sends everyone to Inosanto for JKD training. You need to research more. Best

Well I`m one of teds line, dan isnt the only one high ranked under bruce. The thing dan and you are teaching has nothing to do with lees late jkd. Thats a fact, maybe you should ask ted about jkd who has trained the most time with lee and was also his very last private student. The only way bruces jkd evolution went was getting simpler and more direct over the years and not collecting millions of useless techniques that only work when the opponent let you do it.

@Leejou1 Ted should be honest with you and come clean. Inosanto is the man who gave Ted his rank as instructor. Everyone knows it's true, so should you. And as far as useless techniques. If you want to prove them useless come on over.
Ronbalicki 1 year ago
Yeah now it comes, even if thats true, ted ist the one worked the most time with bruce and was his last training partner. Do you think if Lee hadnt die so early hed certified more people exept dan??? Do you think Bruce knew he would die at 32? What ever, even Dan says that the backyard training with bruce was only kicking and punching.

@Ronbalicki Never heard of it before, this is bullshit if you ask me! I havee heard many stories from concept people to explain the difference between their stuff to the Bruces but this is the most craziest!
Leejou1 1 year ago
@Leejou1 Never heard of what? What are you talking about? Concepts are concepts. The problem with you is that you think that because I go with the concept I don't know the original material. This is wrong. I do know the material. I just chose to try and grow beyond it. You should try it.

Never heard dan zertiefied ted in anything. Looking beyond original? What means, going more complex and indirect? Do that all useles trapping against a real fast attack, where you dont know what ist coming. Why dont just back up and kick in the groin or attack eyes instead of complicated joint locks. Original is to go simple and direct as possible, everything else is less efficient.

@Leejou1 Ted received his instructors certificate after Bruce died. Dan thought that he had reached a level that Bruce would have been okay with him getting it. Dan gave it to Larry Hartsell and Ted Wong. As far as your theory of what to do if attacked, it's just theory. If you want to go there we can argue all day.
Ronbalicki 1 year ago
@Ronbalicki As far as I know its true for Hartsell, but not Ted. Never heard anybody saying that, not Ted nor any of his students. Well jkd is all about efficiency, but as bruce said, only very little percentage of people can really get it. And how many stick to the original? not many! The man was right.
Leejou1 1 year ago
@Ronbalicki Just to clear the things up: There are three people who where certified by Bruce Lee: James Lee, Ted Wong and Dan Inosanto! Telling that Ted isnt certified by Bruce is either a wilful lie or a simple ignorance!
Leejou1 1 year ago
@Leejou1 No, it's just the truth. Ted is not an instructor under Bruce Lee.

@Leejou1 DO UR HOMEWORK! Bruce certified 3 instructors - Taky Kimura, James Lee, Dan Inosanto. Bruce also had at one time ranking in JKD. Also you could be ranked in 3 different areas. Tao of Chinese Gung Fu, Jun Fan and Jeet Kune Do. In Jun Fan Taky held 5th rank, James & Dan held 3rd rank. Dan. In Jeet Kune Do only Dan was certified as a 3rd rank instructor. Ted was given 2nd rank by Bruce. 2nd rank was not instructor level. Dan promoted Ted to 3rd rank making him an instructor.

What really amazes me the most about all this, is how Ted allows it to continue. I have never heard him talk about Sifu Dan like this but he allows his people to. Sijo would be ashamed. Sijo was all about evolving. '64 Bruce Lee looked nothing like the 1973 Bruce Lee! Fact! And If he was alive today, I KNOW that he would look nothing like what SifuTed is teaching now! Just because we love and respect our instructors doesn't mean that we can recreate history to make them more than what they are!

Hi,
truth to be said, there aren't more than 5-6 people alive today who were traint directly by Bruce lee, so noone can claim with certainty that this is real jeet kune do...same goes with mr Carruthers, and many other ''expert'' masters..
To make it even more spicy, Bruce had forsake the name ''j.k.d'', because of the confussion it brought to his student,and his '' non style'' concept.
But truth to be said , J.K.D or not this video and most of the series look solid!
Happy eastern from Greece!
