I'll let the true Jeet Kune Do experts give their feelings, but here are mine. Study lots of martial arts, keep the stuff that actually works for you and throw out the rest with the bathwater.Originally posted by aitan -
Go read a book!

No offence DWM! Your idea of mixing arts and keeping the goodstuff in your tool box is a good plan but it's not JKD... MMA maybe.
Here's an IDEA... Why not go to the SOURCE and READ UP on it? Then you can say with (some) authority what exactly JKD really IS...Or is NOT.
Try this>>>http://www.jkdwednite.com/observingdif.htm
This modest website has some of the best guys in the JKD world and a humble forum for members interested in learning about Bruce Lee's art.
If that gets you interested try a google search of JKD instructors around the world... There are several worthy sources to investigate and absorb the usefull bits from.
JKDU, JKDC. Inosanto academy lists instructors as does Tim Tackett's Wednesday night group website and that's all I have to say about JKD (for now)
Enjoy!Comment

You need to feel it and try it out for yourself, the drills and the sparring can not be taught on the Internet. The footwork is awesome and simple to do but try to explain it with words???
Do your own homework AITAN and then sign up for a class, attend seminars too if you can.
Educate yourself with everything you can find right here on the forum we have real JKD men. The kind host of DEFEND.NET is one Tim Mousel a JKD man. Other members have shared the good stuff here too, Sifu Tim Tackett is on board and made many things clear!
Send him an e-mail and see if he knows who the best instructors are in your part of the world...

You might try looking up instructors in australia On the internet. There are several in your country now days. Many people argue over what is and is not JKD. Best thing I can say is find a instructor train and then you will have a better understanding. JKD has been questioned many times on several forums And it just gets into a debate. JKD has a structure of training that is geared towards development. It started with Jun fan. And went on to JKD.Comment

thanks very much for that guys really my fighting abilities are at 0 at the moment I cant fight jujitsu or kung fu style yet but I soon will untill I get myself fit and strong I want to train as much as I can for my own safety I did a junior grade of karate but it does not help I need something better and seeing these jujitsu moves I tell you what it hits my inner deep spirit and it gets to my body I have just felt it untill then I have got to train now!!! and I need to do it as soon as possible but I am going to be patient I am not doing it because I want respect I am doing it because my inner spirit deep power calls for me to do it thats why I came into this forum I want someone to teach me the basic skills of this jujitsu art it needs to be careful on how you use we all need to be careful with what we have learned and we have the power not to over do it. so we need to concentrate deeply and do what our inner spirit tells us and unlock those doors that we cant understand and those doors will be unlocked and the enrgies will be released you see energies= power=concentration=spiritual inner well being=focus=actions.....
and the most important power and greatest out of any of these words that I say needs to be acted apon in power and once higher skilled at these words nothing can touch you at all you will be almost invincible so just keep that in mind.Comment

Or not...
....................
A knife doesn't give a crap about your spirit power.... And as far as I know the only guy that thinks his ART is bullet proof is Helio Gracie...
Try to keep it REAL, eh?
Bruce Lee said the best training for an event is the event itself. Try not to get yourself killed if you train that way...Comment

can you imagine how a 10 year old girl gets her black belt or runs faster than a 20 year old man because its an inner power that makes it you didnt understand a word on what I just said inner power needs to be trained its not bulletproof if it was bulletproof then it would be perfect nothing is perfect and how the hell can you be bullet proof all this power does is it guides me and it helps me train to the best of my abilities not my maxium limit no such thing as a drift away train my freind if the train drifts away it cant be forever it has to end and it needs a place to go so how can it be gone forever this is a spiritual thing buddy and it helps build up chi power and also many other things where do you think chi comes from it comes from inside of you tahts the only place its going to be and it will help maximize the number of hits you can take if someone killed me I will rise again in spirit if someone chopped my head off I would still be after them because its not my spirit its my inner spirit that keeps it alive and going same as how I am alive right now in this conversationtakes alot to understand spiritual things my freind takes years and years of training for it to get to the phisical body I said you would be almost invincible not invincible there is no such thing as invincible my freind because there is always a higher being than another if there is someone better than me at martial arts fine I respect that maybe you need a description on what "real" really is.Comment

Lack of Understanding
First of all JKD is not a style or a sport as u described it aitan! It cannot be defined within these terms. I have seen people describe it many different ways with no one seeming to grasp the concept of what it is!
It is not simply a mix of all martial arts as some people believe, it cannot be academically learned or can it be defined by a list of techniques! You talk of your spirit and of your inner spirit??? This does not make sense?? I think u are confused, not by any means unique in that!! Your spirit is you chi, it is the energy which gives u life, it is in every breath you take!! You also say it takes years of training to bring the spirit into the human body, this nonsense, spirit and body are inseperable!! one cannot exist without the other!
If u want to "maximise the hits you can take", I am sorry there is no other way to achieve this then to go throught the physical pain first, feeling a fist in your face!! It is this physical training and pain which leads to the developement of the mind through the will to go further and achieve more!! This is why the martial arts is closely related with "spirit" and why it is one of the best forms of developing the mind, its physical nature which is what channels the mind! Lol and btw, if ur head goes its gone!! Don't get confused by poetic writings reality is painful, the first of the five biddhist truths. I know what I am talking about on this topic, i am typing this with a burst face!! lol.
Start by accepting reality and not some hocus pocus poetry, it is in the here and now, every moment of your life that passes by!! Looking to new "styles" will never give you the answers you want! I advise you find something you enjoy and remain dedicated. Maybe then after time will you understand spirit and maybe you will not need to ask what is JKD?? You will know, and if you are a little confused just now, you will also know what I am talking about!!
ThanksComment
