Jeet Kune Do

Post any Jeet Kune Do related things here...^^

any one here knows or practice jeet kune do? what do you think about that art?

dont know anything about JKD except that bruce lee invented it....if your in to martial arts i recommend you watch ip man....its the story of bruce lees teacher you should try it!

If I had the ability to master any martial art, I would master Jeet Kune Do.
I'd even do the Bruce Lee sounds.

lol, i already have it...^^ wing chun is the best in fighting style for me....

and @paimas

i wont do that even if i master jkd lol.... hyaa! hahaah

I thought Jeet Kune Do was a philosophy about fighting rather than an actual school of martial arts?

yes it is.... jeet kune do is a philosophy... then again the jeet kune do schools teaches the most efficient way of fighting... jeet kune do is really a self explanatory philosophy... its hard to explain.

Yea, you can't say I practice JKD, but rather I follow the path of JKD. It isn't a martial art even if it hybridizes all sorts of fighting styles out there because it is up to the individual to experience, choose, and sift out what he or she needs to obtain the most efficient fighting for him/herself. Honestly, I think Bruce Lee was a fucking genius when it came to fighting. He's my idol if there was any. I studied and read up on a bit of JKD, but I don't think it's as complicated as others make it out to be.

that is why Bruce Lee is the Father of MMA.... all of the fighters in MMA follows JKD in their own way... JKD, its simply err... you dont hit the opponent, your fist hits the opponent.... hit without hitting, err... master your style like you dont have a style anymore... err just like an automatic reflex. that if you see an opening your fist/foot will hit it by themselves. you know what i mean right?

No, I think you're more fixed upon the philosophical meaning of JKD. Ultimately, JKD is very down to earth and practical application of your body movement. You have an enemy in front of you, and you can't escape. You have to defend yourself, and to do so, you need to fight. How to fight? There JKD steps in. To cultivate one's own fighting style, one should learn and study all sorts of martial arts and understand the limits of one's body. Knowing this, you'll be able to take what you think will bring down the enemy in the quickest most efficient manner possible. The expressions, "to be like water, soft but strong" and "learn the form, and forget the form," is essentially describing the process I just mentioned. In martial arts, it becomes essential to be flexible and versatile yet formidable when you're up against many types of enemies.

and this is the funny part of jkd:
no one agrees what jkd is... for example, us... anywayz... good luck for the both of us, may we seek the real meaning of jkd asap....^^ peace brother..

wow this sounds like Shigore souen Ryuu of yamamoto takeshi in hitman reborn...

thats also probably the essence of any martial arts which is to cultivate your own presence in martial arts or in other words your own style in doing..after all even if they did practice under the same master they might have a different approach to this martial arts..thats probably what JKD is about...

I think many people make out JKD to be a lot more complicated than it is. Much like Senshi said, it's to find your essence in martial arts, and how you do it and what you do is not bound by styles of martial arts.

yes, jkd is really hard to interpret by words... bruce lee's quotes are truly deep and if we understand all of those we will learn something about his jkd... and yeah if you remember about the dragon story i poted here it is one of the most err, hard-to-explain story... but not to brag, i understood its meaning right after i read the story....
