I am a 5th generation Sifu in JKD. I’m also a 4X Chicago Golden Gloves champion end have some videos of me and my students matches in Muay Thai Boxing and MMA and grappling. I’m down to share!
@@mAgNuMeXeL Would Love to See your content. Also JKD practioner Here Innosanto / Almeira / Breen lineage. I would Love to See the difference and learn something more.
Dude, you're taking acting classes? That's awesome. I've been doing martial arts for almost as long as I've been doing theatre. Got my degree and my black belt about the same time. Keep trying new things!
Jkd is so fascinating, it's so many different things all at once haha, and not only in the sense of being a mixed art, but that it has so many different schools and people who look like they train totally different arts from eachother...idm it's interesting
JKD was originally a proto-MMA martial art. It was incomplete at the time of Bruce Lee's death. Modern JKD schools fall into 2 categories: those that try to teach it exactly as it was taught back then, and those that attempt to update and complete it with modern techniques. The former is like a traditional martial art while the latter is basically MMA with a certain flair.
No, proto mma you dork. Mma has been around for 1000s of years. Jkd is easily beaten by basic grappling and boxing. Jkd is a philosophy, not a fighting style. And Musashi was better at it then bruce lee.
I’ve sparred both Original JKD and JKD Concepts guys and there is a stark difference between the two. Concepts guys tend to be overall better fighters while Original guys tend to be good at technical basics. But Original guys are limited in their strategy and tactics compared to Concepts. From personal experience, the Concepts groups spar more often than Original groups.
Response to your final question: You might also say JKD person uses "Jun Fan Gung Fu" if they only practiced that specific art. The school where I started was JKD but had 4 arts from the get go with Jun Fan, Muay Thai, Silat, and Kali classes all in the curriculum. More arts get added like Sayoc Kali when you got deeper but I didn't get to that level before I moved. It's possible our main character today only trained Jun Fan because he emphasized certain techniques and he was right foot lead. Even if that's the case I have a lot of criticisms from even my 6 total months in Jun Fan.
The fighting game is always evolving. Before Bjj would win 8 out of 10 fights against any other martial in an MMA fight, but then thr other styles begun to learn hor to nullify BJJ, not beat it but nullify and then gicus on their own style snd peopke lije Tartakov, Chuck Lidell or Sakuraba showed that it is not sbout what you train it is about how you train and what you are training for, in those times fights were just brawls, and fighters would leave the octogon completely messed up . Later came the golden era of stylists, Guys Like Anderson Silva, GSP, Aldo, Machida or Bones who came up with s different approach: they fid not want to get hit as much and the stances and footwork became more similar to karate footwork than Muay Thai footwork, more like fencing, in and out. Almost like point fighting... ironic how things turn around
JKD has the better stance. Very stable. Perhaps he doesn't mind the kicks. Karate guy's stance is a lot more flimsy. Fast legs, but not that stable a stance. Comes close to shuffling with legs very close. If JKD had gone for his legs, lots of stuff could've happened. JKD is here for boxing. Also unclear why these guys are waiting for each other to complete their kicks before making their move. They're fine moving their hands when the other is punching, but not feet.
The problem with JKD is they tend to fight with one hand ( lead hand), but when that one hand (lead hand) get tired, they don't have the hand to fight anymore.
Because I think JKD is not made for sport, but real fight. Cz the main target in jkd are eyes, groin, and another vital limbs. Which is forbidden to hit.
@@yerichoegeten4580and according to the Founder of Jeet Kune Do, one is to “ Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless and add what is uniquely your own” He gave specific examples of this… If you were fighting a boxer, you wouldn’t try to outbox him… You would utilize your own strengths e.g. grappling, kicking, submissions etc. Jeet Kune Do varies based on the individual martial artist/fighter’s background, techniques,strengths, limitations etc. I can’t stand people who make gratuitous statements without doing little or any research on a subject…🤷♂️
It is not one art against another. It all depends on who good one is and how powerful one is. In olden time, there is no choice on size etc, just kill each other when someone is trying to rob you.
I just wanna say None of that matters in the ring Like coming into the real world with a degree, It's worth something, but there are other variables This can't be the definition of these styles of fighting There are rules though
Pushing/Teeping with the front legs can lead to it getting caught and being pulled off balance. Teeping with the back leg is saver and less likely to get caught.
I thought another name for MMA is freestyle martial arts. So logically you could take that name to Jeet Kune Do as Bruce Lee didn't want people to be stuck in one martial art style. So in a way it's freestyle to martial arts.
That is not Karate stance. Look at Lyoto Machida, that's how a Karatedo would fight in an MMA, always on back stance, and can switch between southpaw and orthodox anytime.
This guy is not doing "JKD". Why? Because real JKD is not for sport..,there is no "my turn, now your turn", it's in all the way until it's finished. Neither is it sparring ( play fighting). JKD came about as JunFan was found lacking, trying to make modified Wing Chun work, which it doesn't in street fighting, even with Bruce's reflexes & attributes, he kept getting hit. What Bruce taught versus what he trained were two separate things, for he didn't want to teach people to beat him, but at the last minute, decided to redo The Fighting Method books but departed before he got started.. source: Shannon Lee. He only showed 2-4 people what he was really doing. JKD main targets are eyes, groin & knee caps, secondary are throat, rib, solar plexus or ankle break...,not for play fighting but Warfare. Dan Lee , Jesse Glover and Ted Wong are pretty much did not exploit their friend Lee by teaching stuff he either DIDN'T teach or old stuff he threw out "CALLING" it JKD. Documented fact that Bruce Lee called his Seattle school, his Oakland school and his Lis Angeles school and told Dan Lee, Taky Kimura and James Lee that Chi Sao was out. Movie martial arts and War Field warfare are solar systems away from each other. Nunchakus are not JKD, Three Sectional Staff is not JKD, Kali sticks is not JKD and neither is Lee jumping 10 feet into a tree branch in Enter The Dragon is not JKD. Neither is it a mix of 700 martial arts. There is no JKD grappling and wrestling..,"IF" a person got that close , in the first place, because of an f**k up, rip out his eyes, tear/rip/crush his throat, bite off his lips, ears, nose , bite off or break off his fingers, rip his gonads off. JKD is not for sport or play, it is serious Warfare.
I've studied Wado Ryu, Jeet Kun Do, Judo, BJJ, Shotokan, British Military Hand-To-Hand and been an MMA guy... The JKD guys in these vids are NOT using the 'Minimize' nor are they using the 'Straight Attack/Defence' that is KEY to JKD. I have been out of MMA for over 25 years, but I think I could take any of the guys in these vids (and I am old and fat and out of shape now!) JKD is about minimizing 'Attack Angles' & keeping a 'Line' against your opponent to reduce strikes whilst opening up to counters!
Tbh. I am a bit disappointed of my fellow Karate guy. Especially the punches. Very unprecise, weak and un-karatelike. The kicks, too. Very low variety of techniques, and the few ones not very strong.🤔
The ground game on the first match is horrible. The karate guy has a side kick opportunity but never even attempted. 2nd match was more interesting. I thought the JKD guy had it under control. It was the cardio.
