    As I said it's a concept. So anyone can do JKD really.

    I'd like to hear where the SBG guys come from with JKD as I have seen it mentioned on the site?

    Are they just using the concept or is there a claim to some line...

    its Matt Thornton isn't who has the JKD linage????? re SBG

    for example there is some guy I saw his web site in deep south USA Sifu Lamar ir something and the JKD he teaches is the JKD done in circa 67 in Chinatown Bruce Lee school in LA and very Wing chun based. he argues that the stuff Bruce himself taught in 67 ish is the real Jeet Kune Do according to his site. like the stuff u see in the Bruce Lee fighting method books. I guess it has really changeed since then with various factions etc.

    That would be seen as a snap shot of Jun Fan JKD then. Lee closed all his schools when he saw what he was doing was turning into what he had been trying to move away from.

    I'll try to look at those sites!! Pretending to work now!! :D

    SBG uses the term "Functional JKD" to describe what we do, as JKD was originally intended to be what works but since then has broken into different factions. It is generally accepted (stateside more than in Ireland) that Functional JKD describes dynamic, "Alive" training, while MMA is the sports-side of things.

    Hope this helps,
    Colm

    Hi Little Dragon
    A warm welcome and perhaps you would introduce yourself to the forum.
    I see that you have trained with Sigung Taky and I am always delighted to have contact with my JKD brothers.

    Okay then, i will say it in a bit more plain English for you.

    If you, for any reason, feel that one poster may in fact have a duel account then contact a Mod.

    To do so again publically will get you banned.

    i'd train with those who are really into it i mean if you've been to bruce's students seminar's you'd know what i mean from the horses mouth,streetfighting's no game but what i've see gives you the upper hand and its fair to say its explosively fast and hard hitting one punch one knockout:eek:

    Our main classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6.30 to 9.00pm.
    Saturdays are private classes and we get together informally at other times during the week.

    I have been training in Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do for 21 years and am Ireland's first and only Full Instructor at this time. I am very proud of the group of Associate and Apprentice Instructors that I have trained for the past few years as they represent the future of JKD in Ireland. Indeed two of them gave a demo and seminar of JKD at CENI in London this year.

    all the best

    hi martin was at two of your seminars first with tim tackett which i enjoyed but your students dont really seem to hit pads that hard and are beatable with footwork alone you were one of them lol,the second was with andy kimura which tacky looked on and was more along the line of kickboxing and ground work which is not for me plus i work in dublin monday to friday.Thanks for the offer through and i'm not attcking you it's just i've been trained in a dirrerent way in jeet kune do and its more direct and deadly but who am i to judge,safe training

    Dear "someone"

    Thank you for your time, business and acknowledgement of my expertise by choosing to pay to attend seminars organised by me.

    You question the abilities of my students, no doubt you have the capabilities to match their prowess? Why not help to educate them and impart your learning, which could be judged valuable; if you were to sacrifice your time and demonstrate the superior technique and prowess you purport to have? We are always open and willing to learn. I await a convenient date and time when you can accomodate us; mindful that truely talented people will not shirk from putting words into action and do not need "protection" by hiding behind a pseudish identity.

    Sincerely

    Martin O Neill

    The seminar being critiqued, which I organised in Ireland a few years ago was taught by Taky Kimura. Taky led the seminar and Andy his son demonstrated many of the techniques. Taky personally went to each participant and worked with them hands on,perhaps you don't remember this but we do.
    To say it was a "kickboxing" seminar is to completely miss the point! It was a Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do seminar.
    Taky taught the seminar and I personally witnessed him giving instructions on every aspect of what was being taught.
    Later in the day, I asked Andy Kimura to share some of the grappling that Bruce demonstrated in the Tao of Jeet Kune Do and also the latest techniques he had learned from the renowned shoot wrestler and JKD Instructor Erik Paulson. This was for about the last 30 minutes of the seminar.

    If you were to read the Tao of Jeet Kune Do you would see that Bruce was into learning about the pros and cons of grappling arts. This is because he was into the reality of combat and wanted to find out how to fight a grappler if he had to face one in the street.
    Safe training means that we can all go to work the next day!

    I asked my students if they remembered anyone who had great technique and footwork at Tim's seminar. The one they pointed out was Paul my student who assisted Tim Tackett and was more than able to do everthing asked of him.
    They could not remember anyone fitting the description of a superior and deadly martial artist,maybe that was because someone was too fast for the naked eye and moved in a blur!

    hi martin,don't get me wrong i'm sorry if it sounds as if i'm attacking you or your way i'm its just bruce taught different student's different things and jeet kune do transformed quickly from teaching taky wing chun later gung fu to him teaching Ted Wong and others in oakland,Jeet Kune Do has became so complex people saying this is the way or that is the way and it tends to led to falling out over which way is best thats why bruce did'nt want to name it,it only causes unwanted hassle so i'm sorry for upsetting to or anyone on this form.you mentioned paul is this the same one that tim punched on the nose and ran to the toilet for tissue and came back with invisable blood on it as robert pointed out lol.:confused:.good health and safe training(head gear maybe required)
