Reversed stance

[jeramia]

I really dont see why mate, its a mere opinion. Does not make it pure fact. Besides it does fit the situation, they all feel certainly different on different stances for Jeet Kun Do, as well as they should. The quote only represents what I myself is trying to say. So no need in getting flustered over it.

Because it is a tired, hackneyed old cliche and does not impart the image of a cool, deep-thinking philosopher that some people seem to think it does.

Quite the contrary, its philosophy defines the very bounds in which the style is completly based from. The theory states if one finds his own path and way then he will be fluent with anything he does, no matter what skill he uses. Much like water, it flows and defines and fills its own path. This theory is completly relevent to the topic. Especially since the pre-posters discussed their own veiwpoints and opinions on this subject, how they use the stance they are comfortable with, that they found.

Do disagree with the statement i used, appropriatly(sp), will entirely contradict your argument. You argue its a cliche, which obviously means being overused at somepoint, instead it is underused as it stands. Too many people want to be narrow and walk directly, well what happens when the floor falls beneath them and they can no longer walk. That means they are stuck, right? yes. But being fluent like water means you can find the path around that obsticle,filling that hole and that road would be whole again.

Where I fight we are trained to be ambidextrous to an extent. The strong hand lead is what gets focused on though.

This to me makes a great deal of sense. What if your lead hand is damaged due to a fluke hit or even damaged by a weapon? It's nice to know I'll have some training with the weak hand forward as well.

It can sound cheesy in most instances but it does make sense.

i do not do this. i take JKD and have never really kept my strong side forward. if your strong side is back, it allows for more power. if it is forward then you wont get than umpf in your round kick or punches. if u prefer using a sidekick, then i would keep my strong side forward.
