Interesting article

A good example of Bruce ahead of his time. Me being someone who has never taken up JKD before, I am wondering, do JKD men feel it compulsory to remain in the same simple JKD stance (byjong stance?) throughout a fight? or only use it as a starting position and discard any set stance once the fight is motion? It's regarding the idea of incorporating the rear thai kick to a JKD man's arsenal. Would a JKD man for instance be willing to move his rear foot forward more and adopt something resembling the muay thai stance to perform that kick with less chance of counter? Or is this considered not very JKD..

I ask because I'm shaded on Bruce's thoughts on stance in a fight. But there is the usual hearsay I read. In this case being that he was against the idea of any set stance when the fighting is taking place. What is your take on this Mr T?

---

Also I like the idea of the Hammer Principle very much. One question though as I didn't pick it up in the article. Is the bring back of the arm and then striking all in one motion? Or do you measure the distance, bring the arm back, then strike in your own time? If the former, wouldn't this resemble a real strike less? Or is it done purely as a sharpening exercise and nothing more, with the re-coiling the arm having some other purpose. Sorry If I didn't explain myself very well

Thank you in advance

We try to keep the basic JKD stance throughout the fight if possible. The hand should not pull back at all using the hammer principle.
