I currently train WC but am seriously considering training JKD as well. Initially I intend to train both. My motivations for wanting to train JKD in no particular order are.
- more training in general
- I dislike the WC footwork and rightly or wrongly believe JKD teaches more fluid natural, boxing style footwork
- I think chi-sau is a useful drill teaching good skills but there is IMHO a massive over reliance on it in WC
- I want more sparring practice
- I want a more intense physical aspect to my training
- I think forms training (beyond the point where you're able to perform the techniques to a reasonable standard) is wasted time.
I'm interested in opinions on cross training the two styles and whether JKD is likely to address some of the above frustrations I have with WC.
Thanks
