Matt I was not trying to put some one down. The point was that Jkd has a learning area. That trains the person in the jkd method. And if the person getting the training is not alowed to train it in a open method then it becomes . Fixed. JKd has to be the person and can remain with the jkd that bruce handed down. But he wanted the person to find there way of useing it. To make it workable for them. There are several people in any m/a group that do not go beyond fixed training. Alive training is the next step in any thing. Its all that gives personal experiances. Even learning how to drive a car you have to get behind the wheel. You made good points in the first post. I took it as a view and kept it in line with JKD training . Not knocking your way or any one else. And to Drew it is to say that if he looked at the post and let it bleed to jkd that method though applied different is still what
jkd is meant to do. be alive to find the understanding. Or it is not really learned in a functional way. I have seen people that looked great in a controled set. All the drills all the form. And then in spar they lacked in being able to do very much in real application. Just as I see some bjj people They are strong in the ground game. But have limited up right skills. And they just use it to get to the ground. When they have to go for more then a little up right. They show me they would not last long if they did not have the ground game. So what are some of them doing. Trying to improve thee up right game. Jkd has punching kicking and a light ground training. I would say any JKd person that wanted to train towards the ring mode would just have to get a little stronger in there ground game And could do well. BUT agin the training would have to change some towards ring rules. And would have to have alot of Sparing time to get ready. Still the point is beyond drills comes alive training to get the tools to work and find the ones that do not fit that individual person. They are discarded for the ring use but may be ok on the street. No one has the great answer. And there are many paths to learning the fight game or different M/A styles. To keep any alive you SPAR light medium and full contact with a certion amount of control. And as long as that is included in OJKD by most then alive training finds the use. So I think the way you train can be the same as Any step to improving what you refure to As performance. ALIVE exposer. And JKD was meant to have that step remain in its training. Not just the training and a small amount of open training. But equal or more alive training. And alot are and some are not including as much in there programs. I understood what I wanted in you post. And pointed to Drew a open view to why it applied ti JKD and that You were say expressing your method of personal JKD concepts. Or strictly sbg methods. Both can bleed to help in learning. When done in alive methods.
