Whats JKD to MMA

NaSZ — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:54:09 GMT

We all know ( I think ) what JKD (Jeet Kune Do) is.
Its about what Bruce Lee thought would be a winner for the streets.
Its about Wing Chun (trapping), Boxing and Fencing, all from a Right stance as the Base.
And offcourse grappling technics are added in...Its all about mixing arts and having no real style. But thats what MMA is for me also.

But what do you really think as MMAers. Does JKD really works?
Is it an advantage if you fight from a right stance (right side infront) or does the right side has to be in the back for more power?

What do you think about trapping, does this work? or is it useless.

Ive asked the same question in the past in another JKDforum and they tried to tell me that JKD is for the streets and no sport. That JKD is about poking somebodies eye out or kicks to the groin or knee...but is this true? I mean all styles and MMA could poke somebodies eye out or kick to the groin instead of the thigh in a real street fight??

Im confused...Who's fooling who?

Beginning BJJ at 37

wedge21 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:39:55 GMT

Hey Folks,

because I'm fed-up with self-defense paranoids, Wing Chun/JKD theorists, and everything I've done in the martial world in the last 10 years, I have decided to begin BJJ with a Gracie Barra instructor (two lessons per week) and to train Western Boxing (just the physical and technical preparation and light sparring).
Of course I'm an amateur, I don't need to enter NHB competitions; however, I want to take it seriously in the sense that I want to train properly, to get benefits in terms of strength, stamina, resilience, and skills.
Has anyone out there begun with modern grappling systems at 35-40 yrs old?
Just want to know your ideas about your training and being a beginner at an elder stage :)

Sup yall?

As we all know there's bound to be people on message boards that piss you off and every time you run into em, you're gonna say something smart assey to em. I've done it, and I'm sure you guys have too. Anyway, at this other forum I go on this guy had claimed some guy tried to instigate a fight with him by spitting in his face several times. The guy claimed he never did anything back. So I called him a coward (everybody on that forum gave me hell for that and if anybody does so here, then too bad so sad)

The next day he makes a poll asking the community if they thought he was a coward. Then went on to list all his credentials as mixed martial artist, boxer, and wrestler. On top of that he also asked who'd win a fight between me and him. LOL..

A few pages into the thread he claimed the reason why he didn't do anything to the guy is because he's a pacifist and because he was too afraid of what he would have done to him since he was this well trained boxer. :rolleyes:

Now, I've NEVER been Mr macho tough guy. But I do have a breaking point and will not hesitate to put somebody's ass in line if it comes down to it. That's just who and how I am. But seriously folks, would any of you guys let somebody spit in your face and get away with it? Everybody at that other forum was just like "you were the bigger man, I love your self control yadda yadda yadda". But again people, this guy spit in his face. And several times as I've said before. Maybe I'm making a big deal out of it but I just couldn't let somebody do that and just walk off. I can take quite a bit of shit talk and taunting, but if someone spit on me I'd have to punch em.

Thoughts?
