@fcmstreetfight11 I think his point was this guy is showing off for the camera rather than showing proper jkd princiles and techniques. He does 5 odd traps, then hits with no foward pressure (ill grant he has high-low-high). This guy is good and seems to understand the moves but in this vid doesnt show true understanding of how to put them together to be most effective, though looking at what he can do hes still better than most
look at the guys he's practicing on. they don't have any real skills. At lease show some students with some real skills. he's just making him self shine.

Not always. If executed correctly it can be a very efficient tool in a street fight. While the high kicks and spin maneuvers may appear flamboyant they also have their place in dealing with multiple opponents in a swift and fluid manner. The whole premise of JKD is to utilize whatever is necessary to become victorious in a battle and if the opportunity for a head kick presents itself and it's not taken, then it's a wasted opportunity and there's no room for that in combat
Why does everyone always tell you not kick to the. When i was in 7th grade i first started learning taekondo still only a white i beat a guy who was the same size as me with a kick to the head he fell and i ran so obviously kicking to the head cant be that bad right?
I disagree with the fast continous strikes, especialy while you have hold of them. a throw or a bone break is much more effective because this way you can make sure your opponent is done for. Thats just my opinion, being a Jujitsuka and a Jeet kune do practioner, i use feints followed with quick powerful strikes to close the gap, ready for a nice drop, choke, or bone break hehehe
i tend to think m249 is right.. bigger guys won't be too impressed with the flashy stuff with the hands...and the trapping is less certain.. which leaves your kicks in a bad place as their heads will be higher than yours... still, all the same, i liked the music and nice choreography...i would give it an 8.5
this is awesome, this guy should have "bad mother f***er" written on his wallet, like in Pulp Fiction!!!! :-O Trapping is the most awesome martial arts technique ever invented imho :-)
there was a lot of un needed movements and a lot of standing in one place very quick and explosive but in my opinion he could be better if he worked on his foot movement attacking from angles and and moving in and out while striking and i noticed yes he kicks high but that leaves his groin and base leg for an attack just saying although he is very quick and explosive
That URL in the last frame (emilmartialarts.co.uk) what font is that? Does anyone know?
Flashy looking skills to say the least, someone who has trained very hard. But trapping (as it came from Wing Chun) isn't necessary. Focusing on that too much will lead to wrong techniques...
Incredible, people don't realize what jeet kune do can do to their stand up game, i see the mma fighters and most of them look like just street fighters, we don't see it in mma, only violence, the video is great, and the right thing is to combine speed and power like Bruce did or else you can't knock down a resistant human being, he learned it by himself fighting big guys, he will grabb you or such, that guy punched stronger than many heavy weight boxers!!
I notice that in trapping, the opponent is always standing in a sideways stance or some angle that makes it easy for the trapping to take place. Take it from a guy that has sparred a lot! U won't be seeing any of those angles in a fight! So if u ever hope to use trapping in a real situation then u better have unbalanced or distracted ur opponent in some way (preferably via hitting) b4 u try it! Easy to develop powerful kicks when the targets all stand still! ROFLMAO!
@Transatlanticism04 All of ur round kicks need to start w/ the knee pointed away from his body (off to the side) when at extremely close range. Otherwise, ur knee will get jammed. There's a video of Kagawa, Sensei on youtube that shows this. It's quite impressive. Better be flexible if ur kicking high though! LOL!
Ha Ha funny, u PUT BABY POWDER on the pads and body bag to make your hits look more EXPLOSIVE. Hilarious i got to try that one. Its all for the visuals so i respect it. I'M going to try that too, probably a movie enhancement. Your technique is still good. LMAO
High head kicks....don't do them..stay balanced and be direct.
Your kicks should never be above waist level because they don't need to be. And spinning back fists look good in movies, but rarely connect in a way that knocks the other guy out.
Unless you spend a thousand hours perfecting the spinning back fist, don't waste the motion.
I am not a fan of "traping hands" but this impressive, in that if it were to work in a REAL Fight situation, this kind of Speed and accuracy is of the utmost.
@ASSBANG6969 if you have speed but lack of power, you can just do normal damage but i agree, these moves can be deceiving on the opponent, speed + power = KO
ive been training in jkd fr a while nd sum of the moves he is doing nw ar nt frm jkd, he is doing to much of aikido moves and doing flashy kicks, bt besides dat hes kool
@TrueJKD I agree. using high kicks when in range to punch is a wase of time and less efficient. IMO, too much flash and slappy hands. He's obviously fast, but he holds his breath every time he does the slappy hand chasing combos. Fast, but the power won't be there if he's holding his breath. I'd like to see him do these things against someone that doesn't just sit there and let him slap away..
I agree. Visually Emil appears impressive, but looks can be deceiving. Emil's training partner is not relating to what Emil is doing. Also I would like to see how Emil's fluidity stands up to broken rhythm. High kicks in punching range do, on paper, appear foolish; however, even Master Lee recognised that fighting with no limitation means exactly that. Principles need to be transcended as actual combat is unpredictable - a high kick at close range may be the wining stroke.
i love what this guy does, but i can't say i think he would work tommy carruthers...it'd be a close fight i think...i think tommy has better snap in his strikes, but emil has longer combinations, and more fluidity in his circular movements...i think tommy would get him, but it's hard to say...also, emil's style focuses more on trapping, wheras tommy focuses more on intercepting with strikes...you could say emil is more wing tsunish, and tommy is more modernized...
@HapkidoGuy1983 I can tell you I have seen Emil fight Tommy woulden't stand a chance. Emil is way to powerful and is younger faster. I willing to bet Tommy wouldn't stand 2 seconds in the ring with Emil. Although Tommy is also talented but I have never seen him fight only old footage.
@clive123jkd like i said, it'd be close, but i think you can't say emil is faster, he just prefers a more circular style, with fluid combinations, wheras tommy uses a shorter combination style with snappier strikes...also, tommy is older, and has that mental advantage...emil seems to have flexibility issues with his kicks...he has to lean forward, which greatly limits his speed...tommy has much faster legs...i'd pay to see it either way
I have read, JKD was a philosophy not a martial art, these people who continue to call their skills JKD are diminishing the memory of a great man, (his message was train in many arts and find which skills work for you) he seemed to combine fencing foot work with the useful (to him) parts of wing chun. People who claim to train JKD know this it is not Bruce Lees Martial Art, he did not wish it to be another system (systems can be copied so they become useless) by all means be inspired by the man
Not true. Bruce Lee wanted people to learn his art, understand the concepts, then explore other systems while using his concepts as criteria for what works and what does not. Otherwise any technique can be is JKD whether it's efficient or not.
I have to say that this was impressive. Yes the techniques were a little flashy (so no bruce lee concept) but who cares.
This guy obviously got skills. Those people that he kicked (while they were holding the mits) were maybe 60kg like me. Even a 90kg muscle guy in my club cant kick that well, and he is a brown belt.
I'M SICK TO DEATH OF PEOPLE ON YOUTUBE, SLAMMING OTHER PEOPLES JKD AND TALKING SHIT. PRICKS LIKE YOU mikechavez4 DICKHEADS WHO TALK SHIT, WHO KNOW SHIT ABOUT THIS OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. YOU'RE NO DOUBT CRAP AT THIS SYSTEM, SO YOU ALL TALK SHIT, TO EXCUSE YOUR LACK OF SKILL "OH BRUCE SAID THIS AND BRUCE SAID THAT" GROW YOU UP, YOU FUCKIN KNOBS! GO ON FUCK OFF AND DO YOUR DAILY STROKING OF YEH COCKS OFF WHILST WATCHING 'ENTER THE DRAGON' FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME! YOU PATHETIC TWATS!
True Martial Artists are calm people with nothing to prove they would be open to Discussion, you obviously have a long way to go, A calm mind leeds to enlightenment, people who anger you conquer you!
BITCH BITCH BITCH! All you idiots, slating this guy. In reality, would probably fold in a street fight. I boxed over 150 fights when i was younger. It was usually the guys promising to take my head off, who fell fast and hard...usually in the first round! lol and the guys who said nothing who gave me the most trouble! Those who talk, usually don't walk! The guy on the video, looks like the real deal to me, so applaud his skill as opposed to showing your envy with these bitchy comments... Its sad
You just have to have the ability for it and a good set up. Bruce was too short to consistently attempt a high kick although he possessed all the other attributes.
I know he's not a JKD practitioner but I'd be interested in what you think of Cung Le, the Mixed Martial Artist. He throws a lot of head kicks and spin kicks and lands at a high percentage. There have also been alot of head kick KOs in MMA.
He's not actually trapping at that point. Economy of motion is one of the most important facets of JKD. If he had the opponent's arms crossed over like that, they should have been pinned with a lin lop sao, and simple gum sao, or even a lan sao, moving his body weight into the opponent to deliver a knockout punch. Speed is a by-product of efficiency, but delivering powerful attacks is more important. Trapping should shut down the opponent, and destroy his structure, enabling you to end it now.
when it goes slow mo around 3;20, he just keeps alternativly slapping the guys hands down when he has a free shot. why would u do that? u only need one hand to trap....
Very insightful. Why would he do that? Because he deludes himself that his blinding speed is an awesome attribute-when in reality all he is doing is slapping like a little girl on a playground. Good pick up.
Dan Inosanto developed jeet kune do with Bruce Lee,no one else knows more about the art besides Bruce than Dan,other guys were there through the JUn FAn gung fu years,and in the beginning of jeet kune do,but Dan was there from the beginning all the way to the time that Bruce passed,remember Bruce was constantly evolving,so jkd in 67 might look different than jkd in 72,some guys were around just in the 60's,Dan was there in the 60's and 70's with Bruce,he's the most knowledgeable about the art
great hand speed nobody can ever say your slow, my only concern is that you stand square on and dont check the leg.......your gonna get kicked straight up the middle....be careful
Really brilliant .....i understand that bruce Lee founded this movement of MA and that he had training in wing chun to begin with... but what is the main difference between the two? ...just from someone that has only seen demonstrations of both
My friend, Bruce spent a long time studying all Martial Arts to peice together the best from each to make in his opinion the best Martial Art.(To adopt what is usefull, discard what is useless) He inc western boxing,fencing,ju-jitsu and kick-boxing. All based on Wing Chun, which he was very good at. Main diff between Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do is Wing Chun is pure and already a complete and extremely clever style. Jeet Kune Do is mainly concept using techniques from the styles listed above.
you are not entirely correct. Jeet Kune Do is not about simply picking and choosing things and throwing them together. JKD is about using the most efficent and effective method without clinging to any one system.
Jeet Kune Do has a Foundation, and that is a combination of WC, boxing, and fencing. There's a few things from kung fu styles and Jujitsu and wrestling but only maybe a few things.
this is not to say you cant add things that are useful, but that doesnt make your additions JKD
I was just shedding some light for the person above. Interesting comment, maybe your a JKD man? Isnt JKD about expressing yourself as an individual? So adding what you consider useful would be your own expression of JKD, which is what Bruce encouraged in his students! You told me I am not entirely correct, but perhaps now I have opened your eyes? Train well JKD man.
Yes it is about expressing yourself except that there are certain things that just do not "fit" into the framework of JKD. Not every way of doing a particular technique is efficient.
Yes, you can add things, but at that point it becomes your personal way of doing things that work for you. Somethings that work for you do not work for everyone else.
JKD Principles and Structure work for Everyone in one way or another.
From the styles you mentioned as well as others,training methods were extracted sometimes just techniques,sometimes just strategies,sometime all of those 3 from 1 style,sometimes 2 of all those 3,or sometimes just 1 of those 3 were extracted.Bruce extracted more than a few things
Incorrect. Jeet Kune Do is NOT a combination of 26 different styles. Bruce Lee liked to explore other martial arts, but did not add them all to his style. His style was a combination of boxing, fencing,and wing chun.
Listen,I've trained with Dan Inosanto who helped Bruce develop Jeet Kune Do and it is a combination of 26 styles,Bruce's kicks came from Taekwondo and Savate,his elbows and knees were from Muay-Thai as well as the rear kick from Muay-Thai.His grappling techniques, as evident in the Tao of Jeet Kune Do which he didn't finish,but was released after his death showed that he had Judo,Ju-Jitsu,Wrestling moves in his arsenal,Bruce extracted techniques,strategies,training methods from various styles
Bruce Lee did indeed study those arts but that was to examine the strengths and weaknesses of training in different styles. JKD is not about accumulation but simplification.
From these styles he extracted techniques,training methods and strategies.You are right that he did examine the strengths and weaknesses of each art,and then he extracted what was useful for him,whether it was techniques or training methods or strategies.
It is true that Bruce said that it is daily decrease,not increase,but in order to subtract you need something to subtract from.Example lets say you try to create 30 combinations,and then from that 30 create 3 or 4 that work for you the most.Because in class we were told to try and come up with combos from the high-low-high chart and the punch-kick-punch chart,and then see which ones we can use....
The "simplification" was dropping all the extras from Wing Chun, Savate, etc. and combining/dovetailing them into what became JKD. That doesn't exclude him borrowing from those other arts in any regard, it only means that he cut out the fat and took the meat. Same philosophy, different viewpoint.
jkd is not a style its a system of training bruce lee said himself that its the art of exploring ones self and if u want to train and use other styles thats up to u.. and u fail to realize that bruce lee and dan inosanto created jkd together and dan insoanto is the highest ranking jkd instuctor in the world he is one of only 3 men who were certified to instruct jkd by bruce . he aint no chump
Bruce created together with... Inosanto?! Sorry my friend, but is not JKD "the way to complicate". PS. Lets take for example hubud from kali added to JKD. In hubud you need 4 movements to response... so where is the SIMPLY & DIRECT? JKD have STRUCTURE and everything without respect this structure is just a mix martial art and NOT JKD. To have NO STYLE, first of all you need to have one; this is the base for JKD - Jun Fan Gung Fu.
Jhoon Rhee taught Bruce the Taekwondo kicks and Bruce taught him hands from Wing Chun.Where do you think Bruce's kicks come from,they don't come from wing chun or boxing.That sidekick that he's famous for is from Taekwondo
JKD = a mixture between 26 styles?! Wrong, because simple, many of these are broken basics form JKD (a simple Tae Kwon Do kick to the head broken the principle with closest weapon to closest target. The head is too far from the leg!)
Dan Inosanto helped develop JKD,and he said that him and Bruce researched 26 styles,he is right and you are wrong,I wont argue.Bruce used to kick to the head,as he did when he sparred at Ed Parker's tournament,there's nothing wrong with kicking to the head
In Enter The Dragon,in the cavern scene he demonstrates techniques from various arts.When he is about to get attacked by a hammer he executes an inside crescent kick and then turns around executes an outside crescent kick,these can be found in Northern Style Kung-Fu or Taekwondo,He then executes a Wing Chun block and simultanouesly executes block and hit found in Wing Chun,he uses a Wing Chun block to defend against the kick,then does a ju-jitsu type block to the arm then punches the stomach...
He then gets grabbed from behind,then executes a Chin Na move,where he grabs the guys arm and hair and locks him up,that is from Chin Na,while he is holding the guy's hair he then executes a kick from Savate to an oncoming opponent. In this scene he does moves from Taekwondo;Wing Chun;Ju-Jitsu;Chin Na;Savate
Sure, he does alot of flashy moves from different martial arts in his movies. However, his real life fighting art was different. Bruce did not use a combination of techniques from many different martial arts, but instead utilised a small repetoire of direct and simple moves.
I've trained with Dan Inosanto,know one knows about Bruce's art better than the man who helped him develop it.Jeet Kune Do was developed by Bruce Lee and Dan Inosanto.Me mentioning his moves from Enter The Dragon,had nothing to do with being flashy,it was about expressing different moves from different arts,I train in jeet kune do and I've trained with Dan Inosanto,I know what I'm talking about
Read the Tao of Jeet Kune Do and The Art of Expressing The Human Body to better understand where I'm talking about.
In jeet kune do,for example you might use a kick from savate or taekwondo or muay-thai,then use a knee from Muay Thai,then straight blasts from Wing Chun,then use a boxing hook,then a grappling move from judo or ju-jitsu or wrestling.The kicks in Bruce Lee's arsenal come from Taekwondo,Muay-Thai,Savate,Northern Style Kung-Fu.....
The grappling comes from judo,ju-jitsu,wrestling,aikido,and chin na,the hands from Boxing,Wing Chun and other styles.Look at Bruce's notes,and it'll show you some of the moves in his arsenal,the kinds of punches,kicks,elbow,knee strikes,and grappling will prove that he took from a bunch of styles,whether it was training methods,strategies or techniques
Those were real moves in his arsenal,the inside and outside crescent kicks,the simultaneous block and hit,the armlock,the front kick from Savate,you should research the moves that were in Bruce's arsenal and then you will see that he took from many styles
I know about his real life fighting art,trust me,all I was saying was that he combined techniques from many styles,Sometimes he took techniques, sometimes he took just training methods, other times just strategies,other times he took all three from 1 particular style,other times he only took 2 of these 3 or sometimes just 1 of these 3.Dan Inosanto knows better than anyone about Jeet Kune Do and if he says it's a combination of 26 styles,it's LAW
"In jeet kune do,for example you might use a kick from savate or taekwondo or muay-thai,then use a knee from Muay Thai,then straight blasts from Wing Chun,then use a boxing hook,then a grappling move from judo or ju-jitsu or wrestling."
JKD is the first MMA,and Dan Inosanto has explained this,you aren't educated on JKD at all.You know very little about this art,I suggest you do your research,I study Jeet Kune Do and I've trained personally with Dan Inosanto,Bruce Lee was the first to mix the arts,he was the first to incorporate western boxing,again read Bruce's books,Read the tao of JKD it sounds like you've just watch Dragon The Bruce Lee Story,and that's what you're basing your opinions on.
I have read the Tao of Jeet Kune Do, and all of Bruces fighting method books.I decided to find out more and started to investigate. At first I was confused-there seemed to be so much controversy on what JKD actually was. So I have spent the last year checking out all the websites of the various instructors,etc. The thing that did it for me,however, was a quote from Bruce Lee himself-"The art of Jeet Kune Do is simply to simplify."
Apparently you haven't read it,because it has techniques from Muay-Thai,Savate,wrestling,judo and ju-jitsu and taekwondo,it lists the different techniques form various styles as does the ARt of Expressing The Human Body in which Bruce describes his many techniques,127 to be exact,his 13 elbow strikes and knee thrusts which come MUay Thai,his sidekick which comes from Taekwondo,his straight blasts which come from Wing Chun,and then his grappling moves from Judo and Ju-Jitsu
There's a tape entitled Jeet Kune Do,and Dan Inosanto gives a demonstration,he starts out with a kick from savate,then flows into Wing CHun,then boxing,then an armlock from penjat silat or aikido.He then does a taekwondo side kick,flows into Wing CHun,then does a muay thai elbow,then executes a wristlock.
Bruce was doing MMA back in the 60's,that's why Dana White calls him the father of MMA.They don't use Wing CHun in MMA.
Jeet KUne DO is a combination of 26 styles,that is FACT
Yes, and he loose the JKD structure for a couple of times in that demo. JKD not mean to add more & more techniques from 26 styles! When you have time to study 26 styles?! I see many "masters" are claiming to be instructors in more than 10 arts: Kali, Silat, JKD ,Jun Fan, Muay Thai, BJJ, but this a sign for a McDojo. Many styles are out for JKD prnciples. For example hubud from Kali is not a part from JKD: you need 4 movements to respond!!! Where is simplicity?
so what if he keeps adding stuff to jeet kune do,. bruce lee stated that jeet kune do is a system of training not a style it dont matter what styles u use its still jeet kune do
Funny, in everything he wrote he mentions using techniques and training methods from several different arts. I guess you know better since you've been studying him for a whole year though, huh.
I also see now instructors in more than 10 styles: Kenpo, Jun Fan Gung Fu, JKD, Muay Thai, many Kali & many Silat, BJJ, Weapponry, special styles for police & army, Judo, Krabi Krabong, Savate, etc etc etc. So I think the definition for this kind of grandmasters is in wikipedia: McSensei!
Jeet Kune Do is pure also,it's not complete because complete means finished,and therefore you can't evolve,you're supposed to constantly evolve and never stop learning
Wing Chun is 1 dimensional and is mainly hand techniques.Jeet Kune Do isn't 1 dimensional because you are well rounded in punching,kicking,grappling,ground fighting.
Jeet Kune Do extracts the hands from Wing Chun,Boxing,kicking from Taekwondo,Savate,Muay-Thai,Northern Style,grappling/ground fighting from wrestling,ju-jitsu,judo,aikido,chin na,and the elbows and knees from Muay Thai,so as far as techniques,strategies,training methods,philosophies, JEET KUNE DO is a more complete system
I know the art. It is 1 dimensional because it stresses mainly hands. Wing Chun is 80% hand and 20% kicking, they train mainly the hands. That is a 1 dimensional art, there's nothing wrong with being 1 dimensional, thats just the way it is. A boxer is 1 dimensional also because they just punch
i agree, but i wouldnt discribe wing chung as 1D but more as a formullated system as opposed to a fluid system, which is why bruce modified it and added systems into it. I understand your point for that reason, but it still as great effect. JKD is more for todays enviroent and is constanly evolving. I study it myself along with kali.
u really can't study jeet kune do, its an idea. No one can teach it, they can only tell u wat it is. Use wat works and discard wat doesnt, simple as that.

Bruce also had training in Choy Li Fut,Tai-Chi, 5 Animal Kung-Fu,which consists of Snake,Tiger,Dragon,Crane,and either Leopard or Panther.Bruce basically extracted the best from each style to form his own,making arguably the most complete fighting system ever,he wanted to be trained in all ranges of combat

@Transatlanticism04 All of ur round kicks need to start w/ the knee pointed away from his body (off to the side) when at extremely close range. Otherwise, ur knee will get jammed. There's a video of Kagawa, Sensei on youtube that shows this. It's quite impressive. Better be flexible if ur kicking high though! LOL!

High head kicks....don't do them..stay balanced and be direct.
Your kicks should never be above waist level because they don't need to be. And spinning back fists look good in movies, but rarely connect in a way that knocks the other guy out.
Unless you spend a thousand hours perfecting the spinning back fist, don't waste the motion.
JKD should not be about wasted motion.

idrees111able 1 year ago
@TrueJKD I agree. using high kicks when in range to punch is a wase of time and less efficient. IMO, too much flash and slappy hands. He's obviously fast, but he holds his breath every time he does the slappy hand chasing combos. Fast, but the power won't be there if he's holding his breath. I'd like to see him do these things against someone that doesn't just sit there and let him slap away..

@jpsandberg
I agree. Visually Emil appears impressive, but looks can be deceiving. Emil's training partner is not relating to what Emil is doing. Also I would like to see how Emil's fluidity stands up to broken rhythm. High kicks in punching range do, on paper, appear foolish; however, even Master Lee recognised that fighting with no limitation means exactly that. Principles need to be transcended as actual combat is unpredictable - a high kick at close range may be the wining stroke.

i love what this guy does, but i can't say i think he would work tommy carruthers...it'd be a close fight i think...i think tommy has better snap in his strikes, but emil has longer combinations, and more fluidity in his circular movements...i think tommy would get him, but it's hard to say...also, emil's style focuses more on trapping, wheras tommy focuses more on intercepting with strikes...you could say emil is more wing tsunish, and tommy is more modernized...

@HapkidoGuy1983 I can tell you I have seen Emil fight Tommy woulden't stand a chance. Emil is way to powerful and is younger faster. I willing to bet Tommy wouldn't stand 2 seconds in the ring with Emil. Although Tommy is also talented but I have never seen him fight only old footage.
clive123jkd 1 year ago
@clive123jkd like i said, it'd be close, but i think you can't say emil is faster, he just prefers a more circular style, with fluid combinations, wheras tommy uses a shorter combination style with snappier strikes...also, tommy is older, and has that mental advantage...emil seems to have flexibility issues with his kicks...he has to lean forward, which greatly limits his speed...tommy has much faster legs...i'd pay to see it either way

Not true. Bruce Lee wanted people to learn his art, understand the concepts, then explore other systems while using his concepts as criteria for what works and what does not. Otherwise any technique can be is JKD whether it's efficient or not.

I know he's not a JKD practitioner but I'd be interested in what you think of Cung Le, the Mixed Martial Artist. He throws a lot of head kicks and spin kicks and lands at a high percentage. There have also been alot of head kick KOs in MMA.
MysticNinjaJay 2 years ago 3
He's not actually trapping at that point. Economy of motion is one of the most important facets of JKD. If he had the opponent's arms crossed over like that, they should have been pinned with a lin lop sao, and simple gum sao, or even a lan sao, moving his body weight into the opponent to deliver a knockout punch. Speed is a by-product of efficiency, but delivering powerful attacks is more important. Trapping should shut down the opponent, and destroy his structure, enabling you to end it now.

ashleysmith10022 3 years ago
My friend, Bruce spent a long time studying all Martial Arts to peice together the best from each to make in his opinion the best Martial Art.(To adopt what is usefull, discard what is useless) He inc western boxing,fencing,ju-jitsu and kick-boxing. All based on Wing Chun, which he was very good at. Main diff between Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do is Wing Chun is pure and already a complete and extremely clever style. Jeet Kune Do is mainly concept using techniques from the styles listed above.
THECHOSENSFINEST 3 years ago
you are not entirely correct. Jeet Kune Do is not about simply picking and choosing things and throwing them together. JKD is about using the most efficent and effective method without clinging to any one system.
Jeet Kune Do has a Foundation, and that is a combination of WC, boxing, and fencing. There's a few things from kung fu styles and Jujitsu and wrestling but only maybe a few things.
this is not to say you cant add things that are useful, but that doesnt make your additions JKD
illman8876 3 years ago
I was just shedding some light for the person above. Interesting comment, maybe your a JKD man? Isnt JKD about expressing yourself as an individual? So adding what you consider useful would be your own expression of JKD, which is what Bruce encouraged in his students! You told me I am not entirely correct, but perhaps now I have opened your eyes? Train well JKD man.
THECHOSENSFINEST 3 years ago
Yes it is about expressing yourself except that there are certain things that just do not "fit" into the framework of JKD. Not every way of doing a particular technique is efficient.
Yes, you can add things, but at that point it becomes your personal way of doing things that work for you. Somethings that work for you do not work for everyone else.
JKD Principles and Structure work for Everyone in one way or another.
illman8876 3 years ago
From the styles you mentioned as well as others,training methods were extracted sometimes just techniques,sometimes just strategies,sometime all of those 3 from 1 style,sometimes 2 of all those 3,or sometimes just 1 of those 3 were extracted.Bruce extracted more than a few things

Incorrect. Jeet Kune Do is NOT a combination of 26 different styles. Bruce Lee liked to explore other martial arts, but did not add them all to his style. His style was a combination of boxing, fencing,and wing chun.
martiallaw09 3 years ago
Listen,I've trained with Dan Inosanto who helped Bruce develop Jeet Kune Do and it is a combination of 26 styles,Bruce's kicks came from Taekwondo and Savate,his elbows and knees were from Muay-Thai as well as the rear kick from Muay-Thai.His grappling techniques, as evident in the Tao of Jeet Kune Do which he didn't finish,but was released after his death showed that he had Judo,Ju-Jitsu,Wrestling moves in his arsenal,Bruce extracted techniques,strategies,training methods from various styles
tuzwol 3 years ago
Bruce Lee did indeed study those arts but that was to examine the strengths and weaknesses of training in different styles. JKD is not about accumulation but simplification.
martiallaw09 3 years ago
From these styles he extracted techniques,training methods and strategies.You are right that he did examine the strengths and weaknesses of each art,and then he extracted what was useful for him,whether it was techniques or training methods or strategies.

Bruce was trained in all ranges of combat that can only be accomplished by learning techniques from many styles.
tuzwol 3 years ago
It is true that Bruce said that it is daily decrease,not increase,but in order to subtract you need something to subtract from.Example lets say you try to create 30 combinations,and then from that 30 create 3 or 4 that work for you the most.Because in class we were told to try and come up with combos from the high-low-high chart and the punch-kick-punch chart,and then see which ones we can use....
tuzwol 3 years ago
The "simplification" was dropping all the extras from Wing Chun, Savate, etc. and combining/dovetailing them into what became JKD. That doesn't exclude him borrowing from those other arts in any regard, it only means that he cut out the fat and took the meat. Same philosophy, different viewpoint.
ehrichweiss 3 years ago

In Enter The Dragon,in the cavern scene he demonstrates techniques from various arts.When he is about to get attacked by a hammer he executes an inside crescent kick and then turns around executes an outside crescent kick,these can be found in Northern Style Kung-Fu or Taekwondo,He then executes a Wing Chun block and simultanouesly executes block and hit found in Wing Chun,he uses a Wing Chun block to defend against the kick,then does a ju-jitsu type block to the arm then punches the stomach...

Sure, he does alot of flashy moves from different martial arts in his movies. However, his real life fighting art was different. Bruce did not use a combination of techniques from many different martial arts, but instead utilised a small repetoire of direct and simple moves.
martiallaw09 3 years ago
I've trained with Dan Inosanto,know one knows about Bruce's art better than the man who helped him develop it.Jeet Kune Do was developed by Bruce Lee and Dan Inosanto.Me mentioning his moves from Enter The Dragon,had nothing to do with being flashy,it was about expressing different moves from different arts,I train in jeet kune do and I've trained with Dan Inosanto,I know what I'm talking about
tuzwol 3 years ago
Read the Tao of Jeet Kune Do and The Art of Expressing The Human Body to better understand where I'm talking about.
In jeet kune do,for example you might use a kick from savate or taekwondo or muay-thai,then use a knee from Muay Thai,then straight blasts from Wing Chun,then use a boxing hook,then a grappling move from judo or ju-jitsu or wrestling.The kicks in Bruce Lee's arsenal come from Taekwondo,Muay-Thai,Savate,Northern Style Kung-Fu.....
tuzwol 3 years ago
The grappling comes from judo,ju-jitsu,wrestling,aikido,and chin na,the hands from Boxing,Wing Chun and other styles.Look at Bruce's notes,and it'll show you some of the moves in his arsenal,the kinds of punches,kicks,elbow,knee strikes,and grappling will prove that he took from a bunch of styles,whether it was training methods,strategies or techniques
tuzwol 3 years ago
Those were real moves in his arsenal,the inside and outside crescent kicks,the simultaneous block and hit,the armlock,the front kick from Savate,you should research the moves that were in Bruce's arsenal and then you will see that he took from many styles
tuzwol 3 years ago
I know about his real life fighting art,trust me,all I was saying was that he combined techniques from many styles,Sometimes he took techniques, sometimes he took just training methods, other times just strategies,other times he took all three from 1 particular style,other times he only took 2 of these 3 or sometimes just 1 of these 3.Dan Inosanto knows better than anyone about Jeet Kune Do and if he says it's a combination of 26 styles,it's LAW

JKD is the first MMA,and Dan Inosanto has explained this,you aren't educated on JKD at all.You know very little about this art,I suggest you do your research,I study Jeet Kune Do and I've trained personally with Dan Inosanto,Bruce Lee was the first to mix the arts,he was the first to incorporate western boxing,again read Bruce's books,Read the tao of JKD it sounds like you've just watch Dragon The Bruce Lee Story,and that's what you're basing your opinions on.
JKD is a combination of 26 styles
tuzwol 3 years ago
I have read the Tao of Jeet Kune Do, and all of Bruces fighting method books.I decided to find out more and started to investigate. At first I was confused-there seemed to be so much controversy on what JKD actually was. So I have spent the last year checking out all the websites of the various instructors,etc. The thing that did it for me,however, was a quote from Bruce Lee himself-"The art of Jeet Kune Do is simply to simplify."
martiallaw09 3 years ago
Apparently you haven't read it,because it has techniques from Muay-Thai,Savate,wrestling,judo and ju-jitsu and taekwondo,it lists the different techniques form various styles as does the ARt of Expressing The Human Body in which Bruce describes his many techniques,127 to be exact,his 13 elbow strikes and knee thrusts which come MUay Thai,his sidekick which comes from Taekwondo,his straight blasts which come from Wing Chun,and then his grappling moves from Judo and Ju-Jitsu
tuzwol 3 years ago
There's a tape entitled Jeet Kune Do,and Dan Inosanto gives a demonstration,he starts out with a kick from savate,then flows into Wing CHun,then boxing,then an armlock from penjat silat or aikido.He then does a taekwondo side kick,flows into Wing CHun,then does a muay thai elbow,then executes a wristlock.
Bruce was doing MMA back in the 60's,that's why Dana White calls him the father of MMA.They don't use Wing CHun in MMA.
Jeet KUne DO is a combination of 26 styles,that is FACT

Yes, and he loose the JKD structure for a couple of times in that demo. JKD not mean to add more & more techniques from 26 styles! When you have time to study 26 styles?! I see many "masters" are claiming to be instructors in more than 10 arts: Kali, Silat, JKD ,Jun Fan, Muay Thai, BJJ, but this a sign for a McDojo. Many styles are out for JKD prnciples. For example hubud from Kali is not a part from JKD: you need 4 movements to respond!!! Where is simplicity?
