Three Things We Must Do for JKD to Survive

- Is JKD dying? Will it still be taught and practiced in the future, or is it going to fade away as Bruce Lee's career recedes further and further into the past? Well, that just might happen if JKD teachers and students don't focus on three essentials that we detail in this video.
No profession can survive hacks and amateurs at the helm, so Sifu Jason talks about three foundational things all of us must do (himself included, by the way!) to make sure we pass the baton to another generation.

WOW, WISE WORDS INDEED, THIS GUY SHOULD BE IN MARTIAL ARTS HALL OF FAME, HE IS HUMBLE, WISE, AND GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES, I CAN ONLY NAME A FEW JKD INSTRUCTORS WHO ARE AT THIS LEVEL, SIFU JASON, GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR SIMPLY THE BEST
Always great information.
great gouge once again and just a note, no matter how much I train (PT, cardio, weights, KBs, etc), I never seem to be "in shape" for a few sparring rounds
Sometimes its not so much of a conditioning thing as a breathing, looseness and relaxation thing. For me viewing sparring as play has helped. Often times I notice I hit harder and more often when im loose.
I look forward to training at your KWOON Sifu. My trainer partner is just not helping much. B.O.B. looks big and strong looking, but his footwork lacks, he has no arms or legs, and is not a good communicator to boot. 😁 Seriously, I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO TRAINING WITH ALL THE INSTRUCTORS AND STUDENTS.
Wise words indeed!
Here's one more thing to do to save JKD --
The emphasis on "intercepting" has to apply to counter-grappling as much as striking. How do you intercept the double leg? The ankle pick? Look at the classic Masvidal win over Askren where he intercepts a double leg takedown with a knee. Just one example.
You don’t think it already does? JKD has been so poorly taught and misrepresented for the last 50 years most people have no idea what it is and lack the insight to continue to refine it following the principles. Bruce researched *everything* all ways to attack and defend from any attack from any angle. He covered everything. He also kept a lot of things to himself.
The guy pretty much did 24/7 research for about 15 years, trained for 25/30 hours a week like a fanatic. He covered everything. Anyone who tells you he didn’t or there are “gaps” in JKD is grossly misinformed, especially when talking about Bruce and his personal skillset.
Most JKD teachers just don’t have the knowledge, teaching ability or attributes to really teach it.
@@axelstone3131 I love Tao of JKD. I've been reading and re-reading it for 30 years.
There is no section on takedown defense. There are concepts that can be applied to takedown defense and that's great. But there's nothing written on it. Nearly all the content about interception is in the context of the finger jab, straight lead and the jeet tek.
@@gw1357 the tao isn’t a guidebook on JKD. Most people don’t underhand this. It’s a collections of notes Bruce used to do research, for personal use. Nothing more. It’s not even a guidebook on what was implemented into JKD. It’s not a how to on JKD.
The grappling that Bruce practised was mostly anti grappling, it was ways to avoid or get out of grappling, not to necessarily “grapple” he know how to do it, but it doesn’t seem like he was a fan when it came to self defence altercations. I think Bruce felt it was unsafe and unnecessarily putting yourself at risk.
The fighting method books are a better example of JKD and the direction he was taking. I haven’t looked at it in a while but there might be grappling stuff in there.
I want to emphasise something though. The modern mma approach to martial arts isn’t the approach Bruce took. His goals and mindsets were different.
Here: check out a video called “Jeet Kune Do training for efficiency” by John Paul Daily. I imagine it will be a pretty eye opening video.
@@axelstone3131 I don't think I agree that most of what Bruce Lee practiced was anti-grappling. If you look at what's in his notes in TJKD, its mostly grappling finishes. I think what TJKD really does not like is the idea of grappling/wrestling for position. It wants to apply a finishing hold when the opportunity presents, like it applies a trap or a strike. You sort of see that in the way Lee applied throws in the Long Beach sparring.
You're right that TJKD isn't a "how to" guide. But it is the conceptual framework for JKD and provides an exemplar from which the student can structure his own self study. Which is exactly my point about emphasizing the principle of intercepts in counter-grapples.
@@gw1357 you need a good teacher to learn Bruce Lee’s JKD. You don’t look to throw, or grapple etc but if the opportunity presents itself and it’s direct you take it.
The goal is to end the fight not prolong it after all. This is contrary to how mma and sparring is taught.
Did you watch the video I mentioned?
Edit:obviously not.
Great advice 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Exercise your mind, body, and spirit!
There's someone like me who just wants to learn JKD the way Bruce Lee did it, not the the "concept" JKD that evolves.
One of the reason I don't do JKD is because I've seen it involved into something completely alien to the way Bruce Lee did it. There's always people who wants to learn and experience JKD the way Bruce Lee did it, and doesn't prioritise the evolved effective modern version.
Find a good instructor and don’t pay attention to the internet
Look up Tommy Carruthers. Check out what Jesse Glover Bruce’s first student said about him. Maybe sign up for Tommy’s online lessons. You can also check out John Paul daily JKD and Thomas Marx JKD on here. They are instructors under Tommy.
@@RiggsjimJKDThanks for the encouragement Jim. When I was younger, I used to dream of doing JKD, but didn't have place near me so I ended up looking at videos online and found out about Paul Vunak. Although he's talented, I felt it was more of a Filipino system with the rhythm. It might be effective but it wasn't the Jeet Kune Do Bruce Lee did.
Anyways, now that I'm older, I realised it's not only about effective self defense, but it's about doing what you love and enjoy. I think it's useful to spend a few years in effective self defense ie Contemporary JKD, Boxing, Muay Thai, Krav Maga or MMA/BJJ. But other than that, life is short and we should do an art that makes us happy and perhaps do something we can do all our lives. It would be a tragic to waste our precious time in life for self defense that you may never need to use.
So now I'm thinking of doing more traditional arts because I like the art and form aspect of it and I can do it all my life, and be in a community too. I'm still deciding which traditional art to do, but I've been looking into more of a southern kung fu style because I feel the movement suits me and I enjoy moving that way. I've been looking into arts like Wuzu Quan, Taichokun, Incense Shop Boxing, Nam Pai Chuan and maybe some old style Karate. It's strong and beautiful. Also internal arts for health like Taichi or Shaolin Qigong.
I wish I didn't have a fear driven mind that only cared about effective self defence and be more focused on the arts which I like and I can build throughout my life which also has a spiritual aspect.
Sorry for the long reply. I just felt like sharing my thoughts with someone. Peace! ✌🏻
@@axelstone3131I just searched Tommy and I remembered seeing him many years ago. He certainly is very quick, efficient & has good reflex. I feel he really understands the idea of precise straight line of attack/interception. Relying a lot of quick at reading opponent, reflex, speed and quick interception. But I feel these skills only a few people have so it's harder to pull off JKD style.
Another person I noticed who has similar traits as Bruce Lee was Hiro (JeetKuneDo Japan channel). Sometimes if feels like I've watching Bruce Lee, which is impressive.
But as long as people are training, keeping healthy and being happy, that's more than what we can ask.
Peace and love 🙏🏻
@@rlam86it’s just because people don’t train the way Bruce Lee did. This is a large part of the problem. A lot of people train as a hobby and that’s it, most of these JKD guys look like hobbyists themselves.
Yeh, I thought JKD was basically mma before I discovered Tommy, then I found out about his student John Paul Daily and Thomas Marx on here, I don’t bother watching any other JKD/martial arts stuff since I found them. Most people don’t follow Bruce’s principles.
i really dont understand jkd (at least i hope i dont) wing chung looks so much better imho
half the time jkd looks like kickboxing with less lowkicks
Tommy Carruthers. Look him up for authentic late stage JKD as Bruce Lee practised it by the 70’s.
Choi Mok has a nice balance. Feeding Crane has a nice balance of hard & soft.
all that some people want is a 400Hp Truck and a firearm, that saves them from spending theyre free time in the gym and do a thousand pushups a day.
It sounds to me like you want to commercialise JKD and turn it into MMA. JKD isn’t for everyone. Bruce didn’t want it commercialised because it’s not like other martial arts. There’s already no quality control for the art as it is. There is next to nobody who has ever been as efficient at it as Bruce because nobody trains like Bruce.
And if you follow Bruce’s training and methods people are quick to say “you’re just copying Bruce” well, nobody follows Bruce’s training methodology or the principles as it is and what do you get? Awful representations of JKD that look more like mma. There is only one person who’s even similar to Bruce and that’s because he follows Bruce’s methods which quite frankly if more people did, JKD would be in a much better state of affairs.
