Kindest Regards and Always Your Servant

Correct, it's just a name!

Just a note! I am too old and too tired of posting on these forums. Many times, people read between the lines and interpret or just have nothing better to do than...

Your jumping the gun with your statements, sir! I said, referring tothe ones Ipersonally know. I did not say that Inosanto was not teaching JKD. The reason for all the political crap, as you put it,...

I am afraid that one more generation of JKD practioners will finally kill off the true essence of it. Currently, there are really only a few instructors here that know the true art of JKD. It has...

"So let's recap. JKD peeps can criticize, malign and dismiss things that they don't understand, were too lazy to work at or didn't learn correctly do to the ever present bad instructor. "

I enjoyed reading you post. I agree with you in your explainations of the differences of MA and street fighting. Many MApractioners have a false sense of self-confidence and this will get their butts...

I have a question for you posters! Do you think there is a difference between general martial arts and real street fighting?

I will state my own personal belief and you guys and take it from...

Thank you for your post!

In regards to the "classical mess" mentioned, I am referring to the majority of dojos that have been commercialized and are no longer teaching true self-defense, rather,...

Everyone has their own prefrences regarding using what is useful to each person. The last thing I would want to do is go to the ground in a street fight situation. However, if I am caught off guard,...

I believe that sensitivity leads to checking, trapping (immobilization), grappling, takedowns and groundwork! It is all keeping your opponent off-balance or to flow with his energy and movement. It...

Yes, originally it did come from wing chun in his Seattle years, because as we all know, trapping is a major part of wing chun, just as it is in many styles of Kung-Fu.

Regarding the fencing...

First thing sir; I think you have been smoking a little to much of that grass that grows in your front yard. It is obvious that your only knowledge of JKD is heresay from others who never even...

Is your question being directed at me or the other David?

I personally feel that the mook jong is great for footwork, trapping and intercepting, however, not that great for sensitivity training. I...

You are absolutly right. I have always been hardcore and didn't believe in anythnig but being all the way.

I like the term McDojos, and that is probably the ones I am referring to in my many...

Yes, it has been a great discussion point on a variety of views and ideas.

I see one of the major problems with JKD today is the bickering amoung its own. However, this is happening in many other...

I want to thank you for your concern, it is appreciated! It is obvious that you both are well trained in cross training, which I find extraodinary. My hat is off to you.

You will find that most...

It is obvious that many things need to be repeated because people have a tendency to hear but not to absorb. It seems that you both are secure in your ways, may you continue on in good health. There...

Well stated!

The main core of JKD is footwork which has not been incorporated into the traditional styles, this is what made the flow of different technique applications even more useful in...

I apologize for not being around the last couple of days, however, I had three molars pulled and at the same time caught the 48 hour flu going around. It was horrible!

I will try and answer most...

You are right about that there is no better training than another human being. Bruce Lee mentioned many times that he loved teaching to students as ginea pigs and got paid for it.

Sensei Kunz

It was directed towrds the traditional and classical arts on hoping to enlightent them of other avenues of the arts. It was not meant to open the eyes of any JKD practitioners. the articles and book...

I a wait your call!

They want one article, but i do not think we can fit all three subjects in one artilce, so it may turn out to be three. What I am truly interested in is the book that will out...

I couldn't agree with you more. The majority of the books out there including articles are more and more a repeat of the basics. Currently I am writing anew article relating to JKD in intercepting,...

John;

I have been asked to write another article for the monthly issue of Kung-Fu Magazine on the subject of: Fighting Measure, Interception, trapping to grapling. i would like to speak to you...

Forgive me for my ingnorance? I was informed that Bruce Leee stopped working on the Mook Jong the last few years of his life because he felt it was best to practice on human targets for better...
