47MartialMan Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 I see, So you saying, per his writing style breaking "rules" in the analogy of Bruce's JKD?
Drunken Monkey Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 kinda. well, actually you brought it up by mentioning writing. it recalled something about jkd principles being principles for learning. and yes, it can be applied to everything that needs to be learnt. y'know, before you can make your apple pie, you have to learn how to make an apple pie. in fact, you can insert almost anything in place of apple pie and it still is valid. but yeah. i would say james joyces writing follows jkd principles. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
47MartialMan Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Yeah, it can go deeper than that... Before you learn to make an apple pie, you have to learn or know what a apple is, or what a pie is. Hmmnnnn.
Drunken Monkey Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 (edited) exactly. but an apple pie is relatively dead compared to something that is ever changing like a martial art and applications of. which all goes back to needing someone to show you how to do things to begin with........ once again and for the last time; who would you put your money on. the guy who tried to work things out on his own or the guy who had dan inosanto to help answer his questions? **edited a typo** Edited September 17, 2004 by Drunken Monkey post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
47MartialMan Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 I dont argue with that. Someone had shown me how to "tie my shoes"
Lazy Scholar Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 huh? are you joking here? Jeet Kune Do was born from Bruce's genius. I guess your perspective is different since you're of concepts or at least you view it in that light. For me Jeet Kune Do is comprised of influences from Wing Chun , Fencing, and Western Boxing. Anything that isn't taught by Bruce Lee isn't JKD. For example a thai kick is a thai kick; not a JKD kick. Some kicks in JKD are lead front, lead side, lead hook (round), lead inverted hook, scoop kick. JKD has certain footwork (step slide, slide step, push shuffle, burning step, pendulum step, burst shuffle, side step, quick step, etc) as well as punching tools. you scythe with it!!!!!!
Lazy Scholar Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 DM . Sorry. you scythe with it!!!!!!
47MartialMan Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 On what response to which of his statement(s)?
Lazy Scholar Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 that JKD was invented by James Joyce. I'm guessing he's joking. and about his comment regarding what is jun fan jeet kune do. From what I've seen Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do is concerned with Bruce's body of work both in terms of martial science and martial philosophy. you scythe with it!!!!!!
