Master Wong TV has produced 12 JKD training episodes each 30mins long coving many aspects of JKD including Kicking, Punching, Lock and hold, Knife training ,Stick training and more! These episodes, originally produced for Sky TV and shown on Fight Plus, are great for beginners and those interested in finding out more about JKD. They have good entertainment value and are a good tool for anyone learning Martial Arts.
There is a big diff between sporting / demonstration and real life defense. You only have a minute or two to overcome and eliminate your enemy. No time for show-off moves and kicks. Should you live long enough to grow old you will understand that every move must be lethal, no time to play around.

should he? so now its up to you to define what makes a master a master? who do you think you are? a master of many martial arts can teach whatever he likes and apply it to a jeet kune do system. i mean really...

Master Wong is awsome and all. but to be a master u shud stick 2 one and only 1 martial art style or you will confuse one another and never improve it "If the cups is allready full, you shudn feel it more as it just flow out".
don get me wrong i love master wong teaching in wing chun. thgh he stick only 2 the basic :D

I think this is basically true, but TKD is basically a style for very specific tournament rules (basically Karate rules) with very little attention to SD. They usually hand off SD to hapkido techniques.

I'm not disagreeing that your particular school, or even region in the world, doesn't use spinning kicks. I am a fellow ITF/TKD practitioner. In most of the world, at most schools, and in most styles of TKD, spinning kicks are prominent feature of the style.
But things are different between sub-styles of TKD. ITF allows punching to the face and has a large variety of hand techniques, where WTF lacks those. Virtually all TKD fighters use spinning kicks.

Spinning kicks are fine for competition, but I would not recommend them for self-defense.

How can I bee wrong? I have trained Taekwondo for more than two years, going to the club and practise 3times a weak and at my home everyday between that! I know most of the moves in the art & I can perform them well. I have sparred and beat opponents much bigger than I am. And I have also studied other martial arts and self-defense for an even longer time! If you dont want to take my word for it then go & ask some other self defence experts and you will get the same answer: Spinning kicks sucks!

you are empirically wrong. The average TKD practicioner uses spinning kicks very frequently in competition. My school alone gave to separate KOs in the last ITF competition, one from a spinning back fist and the other from a spinning hook. One hit, one KO. I use the spinning back kick all the time, but I'm not good enough to have high success with the fancier techniques.
At any rate, watching any ITF/WTF competition on youtube will reveal otherwise.
