I must say that from my own experience I know that when sparring with Stefan every move becomes very risky manouver and I am not talking only about attacking I am atalking about moving also and even breathing. I said I know that, but I also felt that.
The matter of the front hand position had been discussed over once in this debate. The reason for this and not classical boxing position of the hand is again the unique structure of JKD. And was designed by Bruce Lee becouse of few things. One of those things is that what he personally stated that from that hand position he can throw wathever punch from whichever angle without telegraphing it and it's hard to notice those punches for the opponent.
But Stefan will give more detailed answer on that for sure.
I have got one question, Why do we ( I and Stefan) have no problem in answering your questions and when we are demanding the answer for ours questions the forum becomes silent?? Quite interesting phenomenon.
Those are just few question which Stefan had asked you to answer:
1. does having many different Fighting Stances illustrate "Simplicity" If so, How?
2. Does mixing many diferent styled represent Simplicity.
3. What kind of techniues illustrates Directnes
4. What did he mean by "non classical"
Soul Reaver you said that there are no FILIPINO MA in JKD that this is only additional. From your replies I conclude that you are from JKD concepts camp. My question is Why
Dan Inosanto, Paul Vunak are saying that JKD is a blend of 27 different MA I posted that list so you can check it. There are filipino MA
Also there is no relable source to proove that Bruce Lee created JKD by blending those art's there is also no trace of this art's in his personal notes.
Why then Inosanto in video clip says that JKD is mixture of different MA?
On which facts the statement that Bruce Lee looked over 200 Ma and incorporated different techniques from them into JKD?
On what facts, evidences you say that in JKD there are 4 ranges when Bruce Lee talked, wrote only about 3 kinds of ranges in fight?
Those are just some of my questions. I hope that you will answer them as well as Stefan and I answered yours questions
My advice for everyone who so strong criticize Stefan video clip. Why don't you post here clips with you sparring or working out? So we will be able to see and criticize as well how much dedicated and HIGH LEVEL OF ADVANCEMENT in MA if you lile for grappling you are- But of course we are talking about putting JKD sparrings not sparrings on BJJ rules or whatever.
