Are there any JKD guys

[jules]

So it can be done. Like it can be done to Combat Sombo. So why can't it be done to JKD?

[sercuerdas]

o.k jules,
nhb, and the grappling training. they still don't have to train trapping, energydrills, kali, silat. the training time is still much more spread out. yes jkd guys could just train there ring striking and grappling, but that would no long be jkd.

p.s. still just curious of where krav maga people compete.

OH, a sure sign of crappy JKD is when you hear guys say that they don't do vale tudo because their techniques aren't allowed in the ring. They are too deadly to be practiced within the confines of a sport. Ha, Ha, Ha, we always laugh at that one.

Exactly. Some of them would rather sit on the edge of the bed and talk about how good it's gonna be. LOL. Eric has set a good example that more people should follow. But if you talk to him he'll tell you that he has to amp his stuff way down for some schools because they aren't in shape and aren't used to working hard and paying their dues. Incidentally, those are always the most invincible guys... (snicker)

Funny that the anti-sport guys forget that my good buddy Bruce incorporated boxing, savate, fencing and a whole lot of other SPORTS into his JKD. He also hung around SPORT fighters like Norris and Lewis. Maybe my good buddy Bruce was wrong?

[sercuerdas]

maybe, no one has all the answers.

[Pencode]

Actually, he didn't incoporate sport. He saw something he liked and used it to his own end. There is a differerence.

And true, no one has the answers except maybe the Great Spirit himself

brokenelbow is EXTREMLY correct

Hi,

I agree with brokenelbow 100%. Most JKDer's dont' compete because they would get their rear ends kicked.

I wonder who it was that was contracted out by the U.S.Navy to train the elite navy seal teams for about 5-6 years? what did that person specialize in, that caught the interest of the good ol U.S.A.? i doubt the teams are any slouches.

[terry]

That was probably Frank Cucci. He was also a commander for one of the Seal Teams and was in Somalia and Nicaragua. Anybody who has seen Frank and his guys work out knows that he is no slouch.

If there are performance problems in different schools within the art does not reflect on Frank & his guys IMO.

[roz]

sweet.

and the answer is Vu

[brokenelbow]

1) Props to Frank and his guys, they're a good group.

2) Please, no more wrapping oneself with the teams.

jkd in mma

Gang, if Bruce Lee wern't dead he'd be turning over in his grave, jkd is not only trapping hands straight blast, eye poke, jkd is also princaples such as angles of attack, set point control. control of distance, and other princaples that every successful fighter uses, wether in street, ring, cage or any other venue. if you expect a Bruce Lee clone to win a k1 match, a no holds barred match, a boxing match, a wrestling match, don't hold your breath unless purple is your best color. but if you watch these fights closly you'll see the winners (and the losers) using these princaples, Bruce did not invent anything new but he conceptulized how to use these things better then anyone before him. now quit talking and start training

[Thai Bri]

If Bruce Lee weren't dead he wouldn't be in a grave. Durrrrrr

Doubleouch,

I agree with you because I've studied JKD under Paul Vunak who learned it from Dan Inosanto. Don't start arguing with Jules. He is a fool. You should have read the idiotic things he said on the threads about "Who did Bruce Lee fight" and other Bruce Lee, JKD threads. I'll prove it to you. Look for the responses we will get from him on this thread. He knows nothing about Bruce Lee or JKD, but makes comments like he is an expert.

Jules,

JKD "means" the way of intercepting. That is not the only thing to the "art" or I should say "philosophy". Listen and learn for a change instead of argueing. Read again what Doubleouch said. JKD is learning to fight from all 4 ranges. No other martial art teaches that. Lee and Inosanto developed it. (Don't start asking for written proof again.) It is learning bits and pieces of numerous martial arts and being able to use the one that is applicable at that particular moment in a fight. Be like water, adapt to the situation you're in. That is exactly what the K-1 and UFC fighters try to do. (Only if they want to win) Yes, JKD in a REAL street fight will break legs, take out eyes, use throat shots and groin shots, break elbows, etc which are not allowed in "no holds barred" fighting. Any proficient JKD man will take out a karate guy, a kung fu guy, a jiu jitsu guy, a boxer, etc. because the JKD guy is not limiting himself to one way of fighting. Using no way as way. Open your mind and learn. Have you ever heard the expression, "It is better to remain quiet and let people wonder whether or not you're a fool, than to open your mouth and rmove all doubt."

Doubleouch,
I'm sure you'll agree with my JKD descriptions. It's an amazing art when done properly. Look for responses and I might sit back and watch your responses to Jules, or maybe his buddy Robert will join in and you'll see what I mean.
