Jeet Kune Do

I think mine means that if you think your very tough and under estimate your opponent, you will be beaten (the stiffest tree is most easily cracked) But if you move with the fight and don't under estimate your opponent, then you will win or draw (while th bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind. can anyone tell me what this means: “Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water.Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash!” I cant understand it

Man, if you go on this site then you will die of fright: http://sureshotpc.com/index8.html plus if you go on this: http://sureshotpc.com/Graphics/huntsman.jpg you will find out that somebody was reaching for toilet paper and found this on it...... If that happened to me then I would run into the kitchen, get a knife and commit suicide Man why are spiders made? why could'nt there be something else like...............the saber tooth tiger? But instead, the saber tooth is extinct and the spiders still creep the world

The only thing I am scared of is Spiders, If I see one big one like this: http://ipmofalaska.homestead.com/files/wolfspider.jpg I doubt even my Martial arts would save me from dying of fright, but I would throw a brick at it to kill it or some other weapon

I can second that one! I do three finger pushup faily regularly and thumb/single-finger pushups whenever I can, but it's always my mind that gives out before my fingers. Do you mean two finger push ups with ONE hand or both? And do you do it with 2 fingers or 1 thumb and 1 finger? I can do 2 finger push-ups with both hands with my thumbs and index fingers

Man, I wanted to say that

I think I found the secret to doing it, because the left half of the brain controls the right side of the body and right side of brain controls the left side, means that your brain can do 2 things at once with different hands..... The Solution (might work): Right hannders: Rotate your LEFT foot clockwise and draw the six with your RIGHT hand Left handers: Rotate your RIGHT foot clockwise and draw the six with your LEFT hand when you do that and it works, then do the challenge with the same sides of the body (rotate Right foot and draw 6 with right hand) I think it may work as it worked for me

Exactly

Well done, of course I taught you all those moves,............just joking congratulations

I would'nt show off my strength, but if some one asked me to do it to them then first I will not do it SO hard. Then if the other kid punches me in the arm hard then , I wil have no choice but to do the same.

Yes I finally did it This helps your mind concentrate more and I think that if you keep doing it for a long time, then you will improve in a fight or performance or balance.

What are the best Exercises for powerful legs, I want to make my kicks very powerful. Sorry if this has been here before

The two statements don't exactly correlate. You use MA only when you need it, then you state that you do things that would cause you to need it. Someone calls me a name? Great, good on them. I walk away. Someone hits me? Depending on the situation, great, good on them. I walk away. I know my abilities, and I am confident enough in myself that I can do this. What do I care that some person I will probably never meet again thinks about me? So what if he thinks he can kick my butt, or that I'm a wimp. I know I'm not. My friends, family and inner circle know I'm not. All a fight can do is cause trouble, and I would only fight if I had to. Before I got in martial arts, I probably average a fight every few months (Especially during hockey season!), and after I started taking martial arts, I have yet to be in an actual fight (Although there have been a couple standoffs). If you are supremely confident in yourself and what you do, then you can shrug off all the small stuff. Besides, the look on people's face when they hit you and you just look at them is priceless. They go from agression to that slow realization of "Uh oh." Best I ever had, was I bumped into a slightly inebriated guy on the dance floor. He hauled off and slugged me in the chest (Much less than I get in sparring). I looked down at my chest, back at him and said "Don't do that." He got this slow look of horror on his face, then stumbled off the dance floor. I laughed. Aodhan Thanks for the insults (sarcastically) Thats good, I liked reading that, I don't normally hit anyone and I dont get into fight much, I rarley do, I am just saying that if someone does something to me I will do the same..... the part where you got slugged in the chest and looked at it and then look at the guy and said don't do that, that part put a smile on my face.

That bad instructor is probably jealous of your sensei and by badmuthing him when he really is not very good himself, he made himself look like a fool

This is very interesting, I will just say that I have my pride, and my pride can't be destroyed nor will I let it, I have a rep but I don't show it off I just be myself and use martial arts only when I need it. If someone was calling me names then I WOULD say something back, if someone hit me I WILL hit them back, BUT if someone threatened my life, I would use my MA and I would just fight until the opponent gives up, I don't show off my rep because it WILL lead to some fight eventually.

My stupid teacher told me about the burglar thing some 2 years ago, and I did,nt ask about the Nunchuck in my martial arts but thanks for telling me

THats what I do, I stress my muscles beyond what it can already take and I see great results in a week or 2. I do have quite a 6 pack but its not complete, I ate and did sit-ups and crunches and this other one where you sit down and you do a sit up while sitting. I also found a way to Un-deform my six pack, so now It is getting straight, but I need to eat a bit more

one time I was showing my brother some of my JKD and I was doing all these moves and when I turned around he kicked me in the joint on the back of my leg and I fell and landed on a metal stool and he just carried on looking and then it made me feel like he was more experienced. but he isnt

This site I found when I was looking at how to break a brick http://members.aol.com/spoons1000/break/ Stupid isnt it?

That does suck, oh well atleast you can still do weapon training.

ok, I already said I will think next time

That is the longest post I ever read

I had a MA Dream It was good: I was sitting in my room watching TV and then I had a knock on the door and it was ..*$*Bruce Lee*$*.. He asked me where my Dojo was and I showed it to him and he said "Come, I shall train you in the art of Jeet Kune Do" and I said OK and then I changed Into my Black trousers and I was all muscely and Six packed but not as much as Bruce, then we were training and he told me to kick him with emotional content..... Then I was just standing there and I did a side kick and put all my energy into the snap and Bruce was proud and said "YES!! now how did that feel to you? I said "It felt like I didnt kick IT kicked", then Bruce said Excellent........ so then the day after (still dreaming) I went to school and all my friends which I dont really like because they dont give me much respect were standing by a radiator (yes I am a British Pakistani but I have more white friends than Pakistani. and I am pale coloured) and then one of them said "we are all Pakistanis" then one of them said (about me) "he isn't because he is pale" and then I said "what did you say?" and then I wen't up to him about to smack him but Bruce Lee stopped me and said "you should'nt let mere words get to you, it is a sign of anger and defeat. Then I just let it pass until the one who insulted me went to hit me and then I intercepted it (JKD) and smacked him in the face 3 times at lightning speed and he went back, then 10 of them came to fight me and Bruce Lee said "Have no fear, and you will defeat them, Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. Then they all came and I did a high kick and all these other JKD moves which are quite secret to me so I can't say them, but It was so good and all of them were lying on the floor except for 2 who ran away and call for back up. I stayed to regain my stamina and then came thugs and brutes, with the 2 that escaped. I pulled out my Nunchucks (these moves I can tell) I did the Bruce Lee skill where I bring it over my shoulder and my other hand catches it and all that, then the enemies had baseball bats and then they came and I smacked one of the hands to make them drop the bat and I swing the Nunchuck around my hip and into my otherhand and swung it upwards into the mans chin. Then I beat them all and Bruce Lee said that I was Superb and after awhile I was half awake and I said bye and woke up, and now because of that dream I am training even harder, I am inspire by Bruce Lee, Rest in Peace...........

I study Jeet Kune Do, sometimes I just use the best moves from other martial arts but mainly JKD

I have seen that before and yeah I think its a scam

Sorry to hear that, my granddad died a week ago
