tallgeese Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Here's a brief video that a JKD friend of mine did a couple weeks ago in regard to why JKD practitioners should learn to do formal BJJ. It's an interesting perspective from a combatives guy about learning the art of BJJ: http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushido_man96 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 He makes a lot of great points, especially about being able to navigate while on the ground. Its not just as easy as "get back up."There is also something to be said about doing something because you enjoy it. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Armstrong Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 All stand up styles could benefit from BJJ not just JKD.Some of the 'rolling' at the end involved some very good body mechanics. Nice work!Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightblast Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 If you are in JKD and not learning anything about grappling then your stuck in the same dogma Bruce lee was against. He even knew the importance of all ranges. remember "Be like water". Enter-pressure-terminate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judodad_karateson Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 If you are in JKD and not learning anything about grappling then your stuck in the same dogma Bruce lee was against. He even knew the importance of all ranges. remember "Be like water".I completely agree. For me, this kind of question would be a huge red.flag if I were taking JKD. OF COURSE JKD guys should do ground work. What are they teaching you in class? What do you think JKD is, exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
