Rick JKD

Are you kidding? I'll admit, these are all superb games, but I think Dead or Alive (3 mainly) is most realistic. Plus it has Jann Lee, which is like the only fighter in any of the games who uses Jeet Kune Do (plus skimpy underwear. On the women.)

Well, its like using a paintbrush to knock somebody on their @$$. I didn't say it wasn't do defend yourself too. Just flow the way you want to.

Ahhh... Treebranch you make a wonderfully insulting point. But you see, no matter what the style, there is no limitation to the human body, at least not one we have reached in our current human form. If one who practices Jiu Jitsu attacks one who practices Aikido, then no matter what, it should always be the one who is more fit and in a better state of mind that wins. But then there are some forms that focus on one point of battle. However ,you cannot compare a Boxer with a Blackbelt because traditional boxers are only trained to do one thing! One must focus and train himself, not be trained, one all aspects of body and life.

You are all right. But Bruce Lee didn't want there to be a next Bruce Lee. I think if the great Lee were alive today, he would be saddened, because every time I go to the Martial Arts section of the bookstore or library, I see "Learn Bruce Lee's Way of Fighting!" But he didn't want that, he wanted each individual to follow there own path, not walk someone elses. He wanted everyone to express themselves the way they thought fit. And I think Jackie Chan and Jet Li, who are great men, have done that. See, Bruce Lee wasn't making a form of fighting, as someone said. That is true, because he was making a way of life, a way to open a hole in the sky so that the mind could see how to express itself by way of physical and mental activity and thought. Bruce saw that for years people had been learning set forms of martial "arts," arts which could never be fulfilling to the artist. When he was enlightened to that, he began Jeet Kune Do, which can only be taught as a mental way of life, but in no way a physical form of fighting. I myself took up JKD because long before I studied, I thought in the same way as Bruce Lee, thats why I was attracted to it. Hopefully you will understand, I know I do.

Well, I think we all know that planning any fight, but especially a street fight, can't really be done, there are just too many variables. The best thing for you to do is, if you think there is any danger whatsoever, have the correct preparations. It never hurts to be prepared.

Hi, I'm Rick. I practice Jeet Kune Do with adaptions from She Quan, Aikido, and Military Martial Arts. I am 14 years old, and have only been practicing the physical martial arts for a short time, but I am an experienced Spiritual student and practitioner. I am here to share my thoughts on the Martial Art world, and hope you welcome me.

You may say that spirituality does not enter into martial arts. But without the spiritual, you have no art, just the martial part of it. The martial arts are called so because they are just like painting, photography, or any other kind of art out there. Martial arts' spirituality is supposed to be an expression of ones self, not what god or faith you necessarily believe in. The control of the spirit and mind lets one's body flow, and can destroy any mental obstacles.
