7:10 I hear that. What Bruce Lee taught was watered down in translation. His direct students brought us his JUN FAN GUNG FU. They know that the big idea is to have a good understanding of Bruce’s methods. Beyond that. We are instructed to branch out n move on. Interception can be done any way you like. That’s the fun of it. We do have a curriculum. It is an art. If you’ve been sold out by a CERTIFICATE CHASER, you’ll find yourself digging the music without ever really considering if the materials work well or not? For instance. The JKD PAK SAO. We use BUI SAO (pak sao and BUI GEE to enter. We have 5 ways of attack. Bruce’s art was made for everybody, not just the people who HAD THE PRIVILEGE to learn directly from BRUCE. ❤😂

You made my day when you stated that we cannot replicate JKD as expressed by Bruce Lee because we don't have his attributes. No idea how many times I've said this. Thank you for your insight, honesty and attempt at clearing and clarifying misconceptions. Concise and very weel thought out.

The looking for similarities between different schools and approaches to JKD is what Bruce did with all martial arts. He was, in my mind, the first—or certainly the most successful—martial SCIENTIST. The science was how he researched and analyzed the commonalities between various martial methods; learning what made something work regardless of what, where, or whom it came from then distilling his findings into a set of physical/philosophical principles initially called Jun Fan Gung Fu, the core “system” on which JKD was built. The ART, since we’re talking about martial arts, is how you use that system and its principles to develop your own approach, i.e. absorbing what is useful, discarding what is useless, adding what is specifically your own. 
The essential problem, however, with blending a pragmatic, scientific approach with an individualistic, creative one is that, as Bruce said, once someone finds something that’s true for them, the tendency is to turn it into the “gospel truth” for everyone. Because, hey, if it’s useful for me it should be useful for you, right? And since what I’m doing is “scientific” and empirically right, then anyone who’s not doing the same thing is empirically wrong. Yeaaah…is it any mystery why the founder left the name Jeet Kune Do behind and walked on?

So many master in chinese martial say "I don't want to name a style after me"
And what do their students right after the master dies ? Name the style by the master's name, codify everything and let no room for inovation x)

I have had to make the difficult choice to leave my city and return to my hometown, after a long series of bad events that have left me depressed and feeling hopeless.
The biggest reason I stayed here is because I love my martial arts school, MKG Seattle, where I was introduced to JKD and Kali, along with a blend of other arts. It became my passion in life and has saved my life both from actual violent altercations, and my own internal struggle.
It sucks what the corrupt politicians have allowed to happen to Seattle, where my hero's gravesite rests.
It pains me to leave my school behind, especially after I just recently began helping teach the kids class. But I can't stay here solely for that.
My hometown in Arizona doesn't have any JKD or Kali schools. But I have decided to adapt and try something else, follow my own path, and do what I believe is right for me. My school is much more focused on striking, so I plan to get into BJJ and wrestling so I can be a more rounded martial artist.
I feel that Sijo Bruce has taught me that the true essence of JKD is not merely going to a JKD school. It is about adaptation and self-expression. Each martial artist must follow their own path, and be like water. So I will choose to see this as a new container to fill, and another way forward, instead of as a setback.

I would absolutely love to learn a martial art called Ed Kune Do 😄.
Thank you for sharing ☺️.

The second tenet is efficiency of motion to the target or goal. Remember be water my friend.

[MPB]

I’ll be taking my next class in JKD next week which will complete my first month of learning this martial art! I’ve been having so much fun learning this martial art and learning more techniques, philosophies, workouts, and diet that Bruce Lee incorporated while creating JKD. Thank you for this video and I’m looking forward to more videos since I add you to my subscribers!

[D.M.Mortem]

I'm glad I found your channel. You're reminding me of why I act the way I do with martial artists claiming "'X' martial art isn't real/effective." If it was effective for you, and if it can be applied when pressure tested, then the martial art is effective.

[gerardocovarrubias]

Metrolina martial arts when I was a kid I was overweight but then after watching Bruce Lee and many martial arts Legends I lost weight became more stronger faster smarter with martial arts and when I heard found out Bruce Lee died I told myself I will surpass him but I will do it my way my style my system and with Krav Maga combat sambo sanda/sanshou which you know are the best militarized MMA styles of all time in history are effective and work in self-defense street fighting against multiple opponents attackers and you can learn them anywhere in America not just in their place of origin and once I've mastered them only then will I know I'm ready it's all Focus concentration and most of all having faith in GOD 🙏

I’m 33 years old ur doing great bro ur a inspiration

[dvldgz]

I've never done jkd but I 100% find things from different styles and yoink them. Dutch kickboxing defense and counters, tdk spinning attacks, catch wrestlings more rare submissions, some savate kicks, and 1 Kung Fu style punch. I love taking things that work for me and taking them. There's a lot more from different styles that I took and I use them all the time because they work. Maybe I'm accidentally doing the jkd philosophy

[marvelousdefenders]

I've always preferred to refer to it as a martial philosophy and the triple threat of Wing Chun, fencing and boxing were just the styles he focused on in life. I like learning how he did it and have a lot of fun with it. Great video!

[christophervelez]

I like the nuanced discussion. How deep do you go in different martial arts before you decide what’s useless? I ask because I relook at different techniques for bjj with wrestling and judo but the deeper I get in bjj I am finding more value in these techniques that I had discarded.

[StEvUgnIn]

Sleeping Dogs music in the background. Bei Bei I like it.

[RedSplinter]

Fantastic explanation and dive into the mindset/philosophy. Spot on brutha! Keeping the flame alive as always. Plus... I absolutely love that your JKD class is of the path of "keeping the numbers small, but the quality big" 😉 you sir are awesome.

[dobo]

So my practice has a similar tension between following in the way one's parent or lineage lived and/or shared, and growing one's own "from scratch" it feels like sometimes. How we resolve it is: using the philosophy (and our failures to be exactly like our parents or teachers) to make us meet the reality of ourselves. That means admitting I probably won't kick or whatever quite the same way, but it also means we get to find what's good about how we say words or whatever.

Bringing that point home: happy birthday. :)

[WingZeroSymphonics]

An open, free, exchange of ideas to all sorts of different badass people.

[jamieldomasig]

This is cool! I apply JKD philosophy in Boxing. It's a perfect fit, 5 ways of attack especially.

[fudochi-dojo]

Jeet Kune Do is simply the application of a set of principles put together by Bruce Lee. All principles are being used to implement JKD‘s strategy. The reason why people get confused is because they keep looking for techniques and not principles and strategy.
