Ewolucja JKD

Matado, I will answer like that when I read all of the BLFM books I was very confused about the details in the techniques. When I had a short experience with JKD concepts what I have realised was that nothing was that instructor was presenting would agree with the Bruce Lee's notes without even talking about such thing like details. After seminar with Ted Wong I was so impressed and from the very beginning I knew that JFJKD is "it". After training with SteFan I got answers for all my questions. I know that someone may say that sticking to the details is not very important. But I think that it is all about to keep refining everything with every details on your mind all the time. Untill the moment when you don't execute the technique but you are the technique.

@ Michal

SteFan has mentioned techniques, which Bruce was using. In BLFM most
of these techniques are shown ex. Low sidekick, leading sidekick, hook kick, hook punch, backfist etc. so I think this series of books
shows JFJKD :) . Anyway, I recommend you BLFM :) because there are shown really useful and efficient techniques and they were being used by Bruce so in my opinion JFJKD is shown is BLFM. I'm a person who wants to train like Bruce said and that's why I like JFJKD and I agree with you and SteFan and I support you :)

I appreciate that. What I said is that for sure is JKD but the early stages of development. Like SteFan said later on Bruce refined his JKD, but not by adding new techniques but by simplifing and refining the techniques which has been doing. In later stages of development JKD was more focused on intercepting than trapping etc.

BLFM? I have never came across this combination. I have beentrying to "break the code"

B= Bruce ?
L= Lee ?
F = Fighting?
M= Method ?

Are you refering to the Book series as as a Jeet Kune Do source/method, what you read in the book as what Bruce Lee wanted to present as JKD?

In that case it is a little bit misleading. Bruce Lee Fighting Method as well as The Tao of Jeet Kune Do was only put togeteher after his death. It is mostly a historical good source of information, we cannot really know what Bruce Lee would have put into a JKD book, since he did not choose what came into these books.

It is a helpful tool for everyone intrested in JKD. The problem might be that if anyone is only taught the Jun Fan Gung Fu Bruce Lee taught at his school, or was a early student of Bruce Lee, they might say;

"yeas, this is exactly what Bruce Lee was doing, this IS his JKD"

But when I talk to Ted he stresses the fact that these pictures were taken in the midst of his evolution, when he had not yet reached the finer levels of refinemnet of his ideas and principles. It is not exactly what he was taught.

Take his On Guard for example. The On Guard is perfectly described from a theoretical point of view, But the way he is demonstrating it in the Fighting Method is nothing like the pictures of him that you will see in the early 1970´s

/SteFan

That's what I meant in my explanation ofcourse SteFan your explanation is more precise.

@ SteFan

Thanks for explanation :). Anyway, BLFM like you've said, it's a good source of information and techniques too. You've mentioned all
JFJKD techniques used by Bruce in the page 8 in this thread? I'd be glad to know that because I like JFJKD and I wanna know all techniques which were uses by Bruce :)

Well, actually there was alot of historical stuff too. When it comes to Jun fan jeet Kune do techniques, as I have been taught directly from ted Wong is a little bit different.

I hope that you understand that I will not simple wtite them all down on a open Forum.This is what I share with my most private students, teach on seminars etc. If you describe a technique or startegy ro me on this Forum I will of course do my best to give you an answer as truthfully and honstly as possible.

Sure, if you ask 100 good question, take notes, you will probably put it all together by yorself. So keep asking questions, not only fron me, but everyone suthorized to teach JKD. This is the only way the truth about JKD will emerge for you and for anyone intrested in JKD.

/SteFan

SteFan I would be gratefull if you explain how Bruce came up with JKD staright lead I mean, why is it thrown vertical not horizontal fist, on which kinetics law and physics law he based it. I am not talking about exact description of on guard. But for ex.
"That staright lead must be thrown in correct body alignment it is based upon 2nd Newton law".

@ Michal

Because a vertical punch increases a range of an arm at least about 8 centimeters and it's faster than a classical horizontal punch :)

... Matado, it's not only about that ;) That question was more like rethoretical questiona, that SteFan would write something detailed about JFJKD structure. I said that I would be gratefull If he write that, and that would start a discussion or make other people ask about that kind of stuff. In JFJKD the straight lead punch is thrown with vertical fist also and mainly becouse of the alignment of the body in other words it's connected with specific structre of JKD.
