Why are you so scared? Got something to lose, like money?

[jubaji]

Are you people f**king kidding me !!! (o_0) .... Just who and the heck is talking about Guru Dan here, you are putting in your dam words & conscious into your post?.... This has nothing to due with any of BLS.... This is just an example of how anyone and the gramma that think they are connected to BL BLOWS things out of their azz, without actual reading the dam post.... I respect everyone one of BLS..... But,
I can't say that for all of their students - students

There llies the problem....

Get over the 90's & 00's.....It's going to be 2010....This is about only one Jeet Kune Do family issue...

Something to think about!

Hey! Great job being an incoherent nutcase!

[chirtizbat]

I'm very interested! I would love to find out more.

OK, cool!^_^ I just wanted to make sure I didn't do anything wrong :]

Nice! I'll start saving up some scratch for this

great news, i love my seed upgrade.

Any one?

To be continued....

Hey! Great job being an incoherent nutcase!

LMAO!........ The only one Incoherent is you, it's quite obvious you don't get "IT" (o_0)

Wanna put it to a vote?

...is this some sort of practical joke?
Usually Mr. McNabney's posts are fairly coherent and insightful...and now the posts look kinda sorta like Bob Cat Goldwaith on a 3 day bender would sound.

What's the beef anyway? Why does it matter?

Ancient unsettling politics aside...what's going on here?

I am so confuzzled.

[John McNabney]

Who is calling the kettle black here? It seems what is going down in the JKD community is house cleaning... Some people are getting really piss over nothing... If you aren't a Pimp - Hoe - Collector you should be fine... This is for any dam groupie's...

Starting to sound like he might be in need of your services

Hey John,


But self described 2nd generation JKD instructor

Your killing man.... LMAO....If you think this to be true, maybe you haven't done your FACT finding research enough....I don't know.... Maybe you can start from asking some of BLS, if you think I gave this "self - described" 2nd Gen. JKD Instructorship to myself....or if I can teach Jeet Kune Do and be "IT".... Start from his first student all down to the last one...


Like I have said, talk is cheap and a few out there are talking out of their azz and it seems they are threating by my post.... If your not a "Pimp - Hoe - Collector", than there shouldn't be a problem.... Now would there be?

I think you're missing the larger point that no one knows what the hell you're going on about.

Then why comment? (o_0)

IMO the Translation is :
Pimps= JKDers that "pimp out" JKD as a source of revenue/to make money. The JKD "Pimp" may have a small cartel of JKD Hos.
Ho= A JKDer that sells his/her JKD to turn a buck.
Collectors= JKDers that "collect" techniques and drills from many sources.

Observations? IMO the linage oriented JKDC group is safe from the categories since they "profit from" for lack of a better term, arts like kali,silat,BJJ etc and keep the "Jun Fan" for small group settings.
The OJKD linage group is also safe since they seldom are able to make money off their passion.
Hope that opens the conversation to others.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to identify who among us fits into what category.
One other thing. I sincerely believe that Bruce Lee would want to care for the people he loved most in his life and that would be Linda/Brandon/Shannon. Any speculation that a Bruce Lee family member fits one of the categories would be a major insult to the late Bruce Lee. Those of you with strong family ties will know what I mean.

[Garland]

WTF???

Okay...somebody has a commercial school...they teach JKDC or Jun Fan, or OJKD, or whatever...anything...are they not making a profit off of JKD? Are they whoring out the art? (that's what pimps do?) That's really what you think? By that measure, Sigung Lee was whoring out his own style. JKD hos would be every instructor under another...and then finally, since we usually train with other instructors besides our primary ones, we're collectors too.

Okay...we have now just bashed everyone, not only in the JKD circle, but this can extend to every art as well.

I guess the only "true" JKDers by that standard would be those who learned the art from one source, and never taught it? Really? What a joke.

Nice one, Happy halloween.

I think a better measure is, anyone who hasn't made a name for themselves is just a bastard stepchild cashing in on someone else's skill.


By this definition, Inosanto has earned his status on his own.

The question is who are you?


This is a general question and not targeted at any one individual. I don't really care honestly. I have no JKD certifications, I have been to no JKD seminars, and only say that what I am doing is JKD based because people who did JKD taught it to me and we took it from there and it wouldn't be right to claim that it is all original when so much of it is straight out of JKD. But what I do know is not JKD but something completely different that I and my training partners have come up with.

It is funny that martial arts is the only place I know where people actually get upset when they get credited for their work by someone else.

I think some people get upset because no matter who's doing it, it never looks "right" to them.

That's why there are so many martial arts. Different people do it differently, and either they themselves or their teachers decide it needs to be called something else.

Because in essences "IT" is, different.

KF is a good example. Everyone is using the same tools but applying different principals. The hand or foot in one style may use a different road to get there, but the final destination remains the same.



And then some people just need to pull the stick out of their ass.
