Hi Lamar
I have just seen on another forum a question about JKD techniques. In your opinion does JKD have techniques?
regards
Martin

Hello Martin!

Yes, I feel that there are DEFINITELY Jeet Kune Do techniques! If not, what have we been teaching all of these years! How could it even exist if there were not techniques specific to it! I mean, we have the bai jong to start with. Then we have footwork, specific defensive movements, specific techniques for attack with the hands and feet, energy/sensitivity drills, trapping hands and the list goes on! If not for these things, Jeet Kune Do could not exist as an art, but only a set of theories and principles! But then, without the techniques specifically designed to follow these theories and principles, without the vehicle to put them into effect, they would be more or less useless! I hope this makes sense to you!

Keep Blasting!

"What is Jeet Kune Do (JKD)? Chinese martial art, definitely! It is a kind of Chinese martial art that does away with the distinction of branches, an art that rejects formality, an art that is liberated from tradition." __Bruce Lee

At the higher levels I say No, there are No techniques, you intercept with what ever.. how ever.. and it dont matter, effeciency is anythign that scores...read that somewhere LOL :-)

Yes Intercept, but what do you hit him with, the kitchen sink? Surely you need the tools to do the job!

but what do you hit him with, the kitchen sink?

YES exactly!

No no no... it's "everything BUT the kitchen sink" :-p

Sorry guys, I think Steve Golden took over my mind in that last post. That is his 7th way of attack (6th is attack by luck) - 7th way of attack is ABMC (Attack by mind control).

He's good at that.
