  • big fan, love watching mr. tucci flow, respect

  • Rick Tucci All Flash No Fight, the cunt will never sparr with his students. Nothing but a cash cow

  • @kalipfs

    Dude hes pretty old. Why should he have to spar with his students??

    Im sure hes done plenty of sparring considering his achievements in FMA and JKD. The guy is an insanto student, so he know alot. Why shouldnt he gain money from that?

    On top of that I personally know a dog brother that speaks very highly of this man.

  • @kalipfs LOL.. I have seen him spar! And, i am sure he would welcome you in his school anytime to go a few rounds with..

  • The thing you have to watch now is all the JKD schools poping up. So many are just using the name JKD to attract students. Alot of JKD and Kali schools are just MMA schools teaching T Boxing and BJJ. Then they have like one or two classes of JKD or Kali.

  • @Kc1189

    Thats interesting of you to say because in my experience JKD just doesn't attract students in comparison to BJJ or Muay thai.

    I've noticed alot of JKD schools just don't seem that big so they are forced to have some MMA.

  • @chodykumbra True JKD maybe isn't as flashing and for marketing reasons MMA is a better fit. (same way as giving out belts). And I don't mean to rip on someone who may have to supply what is in demand to keep the doors open (and maybe further their own training). I'm a huge fan of Sifu Vunak.

  • Also it is my understanding Dan incorporated Kali into his art. He did this cause when he met the old Kali and Escrima masters he found something weird. All the old Kali men had Bruce like atributes. Not on Bruce's level maybe. But unlike any other art they were there. He figured it was the weapons training.

  • @Kc1189 Dan inosanto is philipino.. makes a lot of sence why he would know/teach kali/silat

  • Going from an interview of Guru Dan's. He didn't teach JKD openly because Bruce asked him to. Later when people were teaching Karate as JKD he changed his mind. He told his students to teach JKD and he would honor Bruce by Teaching Kali.

  • There is a split in the JKD comunity. There are those from Dan who constantly evolve and adapt JKD. Sifu Larry Hartsel and Sifu Paul Vunak are some of the best exaples. Then you have the side that is limited by teaching only JKD as it existed over 40 years ago. Does anyone see how we have Martial arts still training reverse punches designed for people in wooden armor. Or no punches to the head since it was illegal in Korea 100 years ago.

  • @Kc1189

    Jun fan is a great art i wouldn't say that it is limited. In many respects it is very well geared for street combat.

    For example why would someone have a 10 different responses, from six different styles to defend a round house kick when they could simply have two or three. This has scientifcally been proven to quicken response times. Jun Fan is very efficient in that way.

    PS im a Vunak student so i don't totally disagree with you.

  • @chodykumbra and others. If posts from my account came off as negative towards either Sifu Inosanto or Mr. Tucci I whole heartedly recant. I find it refreshing their are schools like Mr Tucci's still out their. I wish I lived in his area. And as far as Sifu Dan I don't have words to describe how much I respect and admire him.

  • My understanding is as follows. Bruce's schools certified rank in 3 area's.

    1. Chinese Gung Fu

    2. Jun Fan Gung Fu

    3. Jeet Kune Do

    3 People were awarded level 3 rank in Jun Fan Gung Fu (The lowest rank you needed to teach under Bruce). Sifu Taky Kimura, Sifu James Lee and Guru Dan Inosanto. Dan refers to Taky as his Senior in Jun Fan. Only one man was awarded a level 3 in Jeet Kune Do.  Guru Inosanto. He was the only one allowed to teach JKD by bruce.

  • JKD was, is and will always be SiGung Bruce Lee's personal journey.

  • One thing to keep in mind anytime you see people talk about years of experience in anything. Look at what they are saying and ask yourself. Do they really have say 30 years experience? Or did they just repeat 1 year 30 times. If they seem full of it they probably are.

  • "JKD! Never has so much been said by so many, who knew so little" - Sifu Paul Vunak in a mag article in the 80's.

  • jkd is just a name, as Bruce said dont fuss over it,....

  • Very well said my friend.

  • Anyone know why Jeff Jones left PAMA???

  • bruce lee was constantly evolving, you been doing the same thing for how many years now? 20-30+

  • Very good guro Rick Tucci! One of the Inosanto full-instructors.

    Many peoples said to me Rick Tucci is one of te best Inosantostudet!

  • "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."...Bruce lee. last quote, last page..Tao of Jeet Kune Do.

  • Hi Kempobrab, if I may be so bold maybe I can illuminated your current dimly lit understanding. If we are to quote people willie nillie such as Bruce Lee then we must fully understand the parabolic nature of the quote before we infect people with a warped understanding of what the quotee really meant.

  • JKD isn't different from 'this' or 'that' because it should be universally the same from one guide to another, from one student to another as it is not a style it is based solely on sound kinesiology b4 style can ruin it. Yes JKD is just a convenient label for universal self-defence, the name doesn't matter, fuck the name,what Lee dicovered was already there sinse Cain slew Able.

  • So no we shouldn't fuss over a hypothetical name but we must stand on principle about stylized B.S. being passed of as universal kinesiology(JKD). Jkd was one mans earnest attempt to free himself of the snackles of indoctrination....he failed, but he got further than most, how far will you get!??

  • then why are so many people fussing over it? i dont know what you are implying with the last sentence but i will go as far as i can and thats all anyone can do.

  • it isnt the same from one guide to another or one person to another. it was never supposed to be. when it's the same from guide to guide as you put it...is when it becomes solidified as a style.

  • jeet kune do is about total expression of your soul through your body both highly cultivated and developed in the flow of the ultimate path to destroy the fucker who messed with you, rolling over like a hungry predator single minded, whose brain is unaware of pain

    Actually my jkd is the one Bruce was in by 1973, walking around with steel sole boots, .44 magnum in the reach of his hand, shit load of money in his pocket, dressed permanently with ripped body and eating all little chinese pussies

  • i think maybe you miss the point. he said it himself. dont fuss over the name. (oh and its brad not brab)

  • No sunbeam I don't miss the point, only after the framework is adhered to can one then free themselves, but not free themselves from the framework but free themselves from 'self'.

    I don't expect you to understand what I'm saying now because it's obvious to me that you can't but maybe one day you will. Happy hunting.

  • what framework would that be? and there's no need for name calling thanks.

  • The framework of JKD is the principles of kinesiological combat application which never change for they are bound by structual design. If you don't know what the principles are and there are many to abide by, then try buying my book of E-bay for a fiver on PDF called 'JKD IDIOSYNCRACIES'.

    I'M NOT NAME CALLING Dude, I am however calling out names who know little of what JKD is for they are a cancer, and Sijo Lee doesn't deserve to die twice.

  • well fyi my name isnt sunbeam...qualifies as name calling to me. since when does anyone call Bruce Sijo? there are many interpretations of what jkd is...and in my opinion from having read Bruce's books is that it was never meant to be set in stone. it was never meant to be the same for everyone. and that was his whole point. btw i searched ebay for your ebook and found nothing.

  • Sifu Rick Tucci was my first istructor in JKD and an awesome teacher! I enjoyed watching this, as I see he is still in amazing condition.

  • Same old same old, fixed patterns masquerading as potential live combat.

  • These drills are for attribute building, nothing more. Sifu Rick are anyone in the Inosanto family has ever made a claim that any of these drills were how actually combat takes place. But, another great comment from an arm-chair warrior, thank you..

  • Attributes are best built when there is an air of unpredictability or a broken rhythm. Straight ahead contact sparring developes the attributes necessary for surviving a fight.Drilling like this over prolong periods actually stymies attributal progression. I will now return to my armchair. Thanks.

  • How do you add unpredictability to a push-up or crunch? What about reference point trapping. What about hitting mitts or heavy bag training. You don't, but yet we still do those things because of what we get out of them and the attributes they build. - You want to add unpredictability and learn how to adapt in broken rhythm, put the gloves on and spar with multiple body types and personalties. - But if we only do that, we will become very sloppy. This is why the training drills are so important.

  • 2) It's these drills that make us sharp and disciplined. They are the same type of drills that Sifu Bruce lived on. Just because we sometimes put a knife or stick in our hands.. Same thing, just wrapped a little different.. Sorry for the armchair comment, obviously you are not. Thank you.. ~ Guro Billy Brown

  • I hear what your saying bro but after 30yrs of training in martial arts and 20 of them in JKD I have found fixed drills of little use. As for press ups and crunches your talking about the componants of fitness to enable us to train more frequently but that is not directly to do with the matter of skill in combat which is what these drills profess to improve. True knowledge in combat is outside of all fixed patterns. God bless. Sifu Jimi Heys.

  • You are an IDIOT! How does a beginner start training in live training without first having the building blocks through fixed drills and attribute development? You have to learn the alphabet before you can spell and write sentences.

    You obviously have no experience teaching and perhaps have wasted your claimed "30yrs" in "traiing."

  • Thanks for the insult, I hope that has made you feel better. Now then my friend showing a student a punch , a kick etc, doesn't need to be done with 'fixed drills'. Just plain old repetition of a single action until it is solid. Then you go live. Once again lets cite Bruce;

    "The fancy mess solidifies and conditions that which was once fluid, and when you look at it realistically, it is nothing but blind devotion to the systematic uselessness of practicing routines or stunts that lead nowhere".

  • "If you follow the classical patterns, you are understanding the routine, the tradition, the shadow - you are not understanding yourself". Quuote by Bruce lee.

    "All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns". Quote by Bruce Lee.

  • chi sao is a fixed pattern lol a boxer practicing jab cross hook, is a fixed pattern. hubud is a fixed pattern. putting on your jeans in the morning the same way your whole life is a fixed pattern...it can teach you to do things without thought. kata...well most jkd people just dont get it. ill offer another quote from bruce lee (tao of jkd) in another post

  • So you never trained the bob and weave huh? You just had it before you ever heard of it. You never worked the Bob and Weaves in training?

    All your training is just get into the ring and see what works?

    The twenty years you spent in JKD was obviously not very productive. False JKD ideas will do that to a person.

    I have been training for over twenty years and I have yet to get someone new involved without showing them basic boxing drills and weapon drills.

  • LOOK dude take your time now sit down get a glass of coco and LISTEN!!!!

    Firstly I have 25yrs in JKD.

    Secondly I did not say certain drills of singular exercises are pointless YOU ARE SAYING I SAID THAT!! Now what I'm saying is that repeatetively practicing SPORTING techniques that are not combat effective is useless and NOT!!! I repeat N-O-T !!!! jKD TRAINING. Now don't aswer just yet take a good long sip on that coco and THINK ABOUT WHAT I HAVE just SAID.

    W

  • What is JKD and why am I so stupid to think that JKD is whatever works?

  • it is. i personally think bruce's whole point was YES YOU CAN DO THAT!

    still you have all these guys who try to solidify JKD into something fixed and set and they don't even see it lol

    jkd isnt what bruce lee taught. jkd is a way to learn and understand what YOU do, do it in a more efficient manner.

    jkd is a philosophy of concepts. not a style

    but to teach and practice conceps, you have to have a base art first. bruce's was wing chun, which after jkd was applied became jun fan gung fu.

  • maybe you should define "sporting techniques that are not combat effective" ...but what's not effective for you might be cake for me or someone else. i'm tall, i dont like judo throws cuz its hard to get my hips under a shorter person. doesn't mean judo throws won't work for other people, or that i should simply ignore them.

  • I tried throwing them into a ring together with no training but nothing of value came of it so I decided to have them work on basic skills....i.e..patterns.

  • i agree...everyone even bruce lee practiced fixed patterns in some way shape or form. even tying your shoes is usually a set pattern...but you can do it without looking or thinking about it...isn't that the idea behind them?

  • I think we should just throw beginners into a ring and let them discover training methods and techniques on their own. I would not make them drills techniques over and over again until it becomes a natural thing. I think we should just hit them and if they do not get it then they are bad fighters...DUH!!!!!! that is what I think.

    Get a life jeetkunejimi

  • I take it then my freind that you STILL CANNOT answer my question which is, "What is the root of your ignorence?"

    I reiterate to you that the answer is simple for those enlightened in JKD AND THE ANSWER HAS ONLY GOT 3 LETTERS IN IT.

    Now stop waffling tripe and givce me a straight answer to the question and if YOU CANNOT answer it then fair enough I will gladly tell you what it is. I look forwards to your honest answer. God bless.

  • First of all thanks for the comments. This is how we grow.

    Having said that. My ignorance comes from listening to people like you.

    JKD is the most direct approach to answer a problem right? That is not always what Bruce thought is was.

    Like I said..Bruce died a long time ago and we need to move beyond the classical mess that was Classic JKD.

    JKD to me is the most direct solution to the problem.

    That means that whatever I do to thwart your attack is JKD.

  • So then I will have to take it that you do not know the answer or your a very slippery politician. So then would you like to recieve some enlightenment with the answer?? If so just say yes I would like the answer so I can grow in this area of my training and I will gladly help you discover yourself.

  • I do not think we should bring these people to a high level by training drills. If they cannot fight by getting thrown into the ring with no skills than the hell with them. I am jeetkunejimi and I say DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    jeetkunejimi is the biggest idiot I have ever come across.

    To learn the double leg takedown what should I do? jeetkunejimi thinks we should just go into a ring and see if we have it mastered without training it?

    You are so F'in stupid I can hardly stop from laughing.

  • Loyalty? You mean loyal to money?

  • Rick Tucci is very very good. The man is almost 50 and just trains and trains and trains and trains....and trains. He keeps forward. He is in shape and skillful. One of the greatest testaments to his character is his loyalty and respect he bestows his Sifu...Dan Inosanto. Rick is a very Fine Martial Artist..in all aspects, not just the physical.

  • Man Id Heard Mr Tucci was good! the accompaning music was a nice touch as well!
