You don´t have to appologize for anyhing, I was just pointing out what I meet all over where I try to get answers. Saying "please" to your question does not still give me your answe, does it
5 years Concepts, Why did you stop and choose muay Thai?
Okey, Lets forget the JKD questions since 5 years obviously gave you no point of view on Simplicity
. I will answer you about my Lead hand, since your intrest is in Muay Thay Maybe you can say Why I should consider
a Muay Thai Guard.
To me a Muay Thai Guard is too wide, Ribs unprotected, hands too high, body too square. This takes me to my firts point of view on your thoughts on my On Guard.
1. Boxers have a more square Stance than JKD. Jkd prefers to turn the bode more sideways to facilitate the Lead Hand/Foot Stop Hitting, it also presents a smaller target. This is why in JKD you CAN keep the lead hand Lower since the rear hand is covering the Upper area. In Boxing the head and Body is More square, presenting a larger target, so they need two hands to cover the upper area. So understanding Boxing, understanding JKD. it is ignorant to say that this is better than that, there are reasons why they are put in a specific way. I study these reason before I make a choice, a comment on my chosen method compared to other methods.
2. Directness, simplicity. The lead hand in JKD is positioned slightly lower than the rear hand. aproxamtely at Solar Plexus hight to achieve simplicity and directness. It has to do with concealing striking lines etc. It can move from a Low backhand Position, to a high Position,losenes is important, as well as some sublte constant motion, the position from the body should be considered. The important thing is to keep it moving, the longer down the body, the wider it can move (Bruce Leé+ triangle principle" This position has to do with, directnes, awarenes etc, but 5 years of concepts should have taught you all that should it?
The important thing is that JKD is inspired by Boxing, this does not mean that JKD has a Boxing Structure. Boxing is designed for Power structure fro the rear side. The Stance is wider because they rely on generating force from the Body torgue. JKD i uses footwork, you move with every punch to generate power. This is why the JKD Guars should not look like Boxing according to Jun fan JKD.
Don´t put your lead hand down if you are not experienced. There are reasons why I have it like I have it on the clip. ABD, the distance I am in, maybe I concider myself an advanced student of JKD and can play with the position of the Lead hand, maybe there are center of gravity isus, mobility isuses why I have it like I have. You don´t have to agree with you.
I won´t give you all the details, but hopefully you are seeing that I am answering your question. I have just given you an idea of why I am keeping my Laed hand as i do, the details I leave for Michail and those genuinly wanting to study JKD.
I tink you have completely forgot one Thing about the Clip. If you listen to what I am saying you will hear that the Heavy Bag Portion is to test my abilities after 1,5 hours of hard cardiovascular Training. I was pushing myself for 1 more hour after this. Sure, my hand might been a little low, but why don´t you give me a clip when you do this routine and have perfect guard after 2,5 hours off the average puls I had. Have you ever trained this proffessionally? do you know how tough this kind of routine is? do have heart rate monitors, recorded programs that you follow to push yourself 110% without rest.
The ball is now in your corner
Choose any of these question I give me at least as thorough explanation as I did. (you wil probably choose the first one and simply answer -no, I don´t have a videocamera: If you do, please answer question nr. 2
) No, you will probably never put up a videoclip, just like 99% of those I ask, just answe question nr. 2
1. Do you have any filmklips when you train? If not Why ?
2 Why do you prefer the Guard you prefer and why?
