LOL!

Right on Armlock!

I train and teach two other arts which have a traceable history back over 1000 years in Japan. Their mindset and method is VERY different than JKD or NHB.

I describe JKD/NHB ect... as dueling arts, where as arts like jujutsu/Ninpo/silat ect are more self protection arts.
I would like to get more into this if we get some replies.

The one thing I dislike about JKD is the kickboxing, it's fun and all and very helpful, but why practice punching to the head with a fist when I'll never do that, I'll use palms ect.. I'm not going to throw kickboxing combo's either!

I remember years ago Larry Hartsell telling me that there are too many chances in kicking and punching range and that it is safer to get in close and "FEEL" what is going on.

If I was to use JKD in a fight, I would favor clinch range with headbutts, knees elbows eye rips, trows ect... Locks controls...

I have allot more to say on this and I think it can be a good discussion, so I'll see if we get some more replies


Best,

-Rick
