Depending on who you ask in the bodybuilding world, stretching between sets of lift will be good or bad.

I take that back....this is the funniest.

It's hilarious how you guys continue to entertain him. This Judo katana has to be one of the funniest things I've read on these forums.

I have to keep from laughing out loud here at work.

Been there done that :D . There's been at least 5 great wing chun movies... "Prodigal Son" is the best...you will learn much and laugh hard.

The system goes by intensity instead of weight. Lets you listen to your body above all else.

the intensity scale is from 5 (warmup) 10 (grueling)

5 intensity is using a weight that you know...

Sifu Redmond's site rocks.

I agree.

Funny how I didn't add relaxation in my post. I guess saying all the strength you can muster didn't suggest that. Thanks for clearing that up kj.

Anyway, it's a lot muscular strength on the wall...

Oops! I didn't mean to write that last line... (I have no inner monologue). JK!.

I meant to say that to a person in general, not personally you Edmund. I apologize. Please change the last word...

In TWC, footwork starts (in forms anyway) starting with the Advanced SLT. Our CK form teaches us much more -- such as half steps, full steps, cross-steps, t-stance, and shifting. BL continues it. MYJ...

TWC has a training method in which you stand in neutral stance in front of a wall. Extend your Vertical Punch chest height about half way out. Lightly touch the wall with your knuckles. Now with as...

The question was still about TWC. Reread the question please.

Like I said you...

Let's not mix Jun Fan with Jeet Kune Do. I still think MMA, though technically not following Lee's principals, is closer to following his principles than many modern JKD schools.

You don't think...

That'll work on me.

I think I really need to clarify my question:

Given Bruce Lee's plans, is modern JKD really true JKD, or is MMA really true JKD?

IMO, I think MMA is really JKD as Bruce Lee intended.

Was it done by a fighter who was considerably shorter of the two? I can see it used like that. Otherwise, as far as TWC goes, I would say that is too dangerous. You don't want to be on one leg that...

Personally, I hate running but it can't be beat in terms of long term endurance especially if you add sprinting to it.

Rope jumping is for timing, stamina, endurance and footwork if you do it like...

Exactly my point.

Hello all,

Bruce Lee's original idea for JKD was that it wasn't really and art form. It was a concept. Jun Fan was his art. So this begs the question:

Given Bruce Lee's plans, is modern JKD...

Namron gave a pretty good explanation... Edmund is off...

It is not done while the enemy is in kicking range. There is a leg block/deflect but no hop.

It's used to go from pre-contact to...
