Buczah in your post you said that " Ron would tie up Wong in knot like a shoe lace".
Well, I must tell you that if that eventual sparring would take place then Ron would be very lucky if he had all of his teeth at the same place as he had before the sparring. Before he would notice anything he would have his ass kicked down to the ground
This is my opinion ofcourse you have the right to have yours.
But anyway I hope you udnerstood my allegory in a right way
Ted Wong is the last private student of Bruce Lee and spent with him probably the most amount of hours on private trainings in JKD than anyother living person in the world.
Balicki is just a student of Inosanto and as a matter of fact in my opinnion he is better MMA fighter than JKD practicioner. Although he represents JKD concepts.
What they represent are two very different groups Ted Wong is original 1st generation student of Bruce Lee and teach only those things which he was thought personally by Bruce Lee at his home and was certfied in
Jeet Kune Do personally by Bruce Lee. That's why I called Ted Wong "food".
While the guy you said Ron Balicki is student of Dan Inosanto. And what he is teaching is the vision of Inosanto on JKD. That's why I called it "shit". Becouse as I stated there are no reliable sources to prove that JKD is a mxiture of many.
Those groups can't be comapred, becouse Ted Wong is so in tottaly different class or group. He belongs to the 1 st generation of JKD.
While Ron Balicki belongs to the 2nd generation. Stefan Nikander also belongs to the 2nd generation and still I would (with all the respect) call Ron Balicki ( shit) and Stefan Nikander (food)

But this is becouse authenticity of teachings here, don't think that I disrespect Balicki

. I am just giving my opinion. That's why I am explaining it to you
If you find the answers about the questions like: "Where is alignment in those JKD concepts clips?, where is On guard? Where are JKD principles designed by Bruce. Then you will know what I am talking about and that in fact I am not insulting Ron.
Buczah accordingly to your words Ron Balicki proved his quality in MMA tournaments. To me this proves one thing he is MMA competitor not JKD-man.
You asked: "Did Ted Wong fought in any other fights beside sparrings with Bruce Lee and his students." I will tell you that those sparring were enough so he didn't have to fight anyone else.
My question is Did Dan Inosanto fought in any torunaments and won them? Or maybe he was treated like a saint cow from India? I know that in L.A Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute he didn't spar with Ted Wong and Bob Bremer or Dan Lee- I heard that Bruce didn't want them to spar with Dan as he was concerned that Dan might got ass kicked. Which would definetly show him in not a "instructor" light and he supposed to run the classes in Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute when Bruce was apsent.
Winning tournaments prooves nothing but the fact that you were more lucky then your opponnent- especially in MMA.
What I want to remind is that this discussion is not better/worse approach. But just presenting both sides of coins and let the people decide what is authentic JKD and what is let’s call it here on forum less authentic
Now Buczah would you answer to Stefan and my questions? I quess that after seminar with Ron Balicki you know the answers for them

. And to explain why in JKD concepts JKD is thaight as a mixture of 27 different martial arts about which Balicki wrote in his book? While there are no reliable source to prove it and no trace of those arts in Bruce Lee's notes? On what facts you guys claim that Bruce looked with Dan through over 200 different MA techniques and incorporated them into JKD? You can answer those questions for the beginnig?
I am very curious about one thing, Buczah you understand what is written here in English. I conclude that you do becouse it seems from your replies. Are you so lazy that you don't want to write in English becouse you think that I will always translate it? Come on man, put some effort.
P.S
There is a difference between Jun Fan Gung Fu and Jeet Kune Do and there is even a bigger difference from what Inosanto is teaching between what is being thought by Ted Wong. Those difference are shown on comparison clip that Stefan posted above.
Do you see the general difference and detailed differences? Can you answer my questions that are connected with the clip posted by Stefan that I asked ?
