Drunken Monkey Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 there seems to be a growing JKD crowd in here these days. just wondering who you guys train with and what is the training like at your 'kwoon' (or what-ever you guys call you your training place). laters. 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 November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Yeah, training on your own does not constitute as training FROM a JKD (qualified) Instructor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_UKWC Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I thought that JKD was a set of priciples, not a style so to speak. Like I train Kung Fu but it's actually Wing Chun, a JKD guy would actually be training Jun Fan or such like. Or am I way off base here?

Shane Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Now days I see JKD being taught as a name of a style, but I also see the JKD concepts being used with other styles, this is where it gets tricky. We use some of the JKD concepts, but in no way do we claim to teach or even train JKD as a style and I think this is where some are claiming to teach JKD when really they are just using the great concepts. I know their are legit schools who can rightfully claim to teach these concepts as a whole, but be careful selecting something that says JKD taught here. A True Martial Arts Instructor is more of a guide than anything, on your way to developing the warrior within yourself!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitalKarate Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 so jeet kune do is more of a concept/idea way of life as opposed to a fighting art?

MenteReligieuse Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 YES! Jeet Kune Do is a fighting philosophy/concept/principles. Not only that, but it has always existed, it's just that some styles didn't utilise it to it's full extent. At least that is what I can tell from reading "Tao of Jeet Kune Do" by the man himself (among other documents) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
