As is my usual response to longer days with more sun....I get outside and start hitting things and practicing gong fu and fma in earnest. But after a few months of not having students come to train CJkD from intercept of intention to grappling, I find myself in need of some more intense cardio...

From my very limited experience visiting an aikido school in NYC many years ago, I found it to be a great way to train relaxation, rolling, falling, and being mindful of relaxing while being thrown. However, in my experience, i found all of those things in aikiJu Jutsu and switched over to a...

When I saw the long form i quit training kenpo..lol there was no way I was going to remember all of that!

We never stopped training. I never wear a mask. I'm 48 years old, I avoid the city as much as possible. Not because of covid but because of the constant crime and colds that my city fam are sharing with everybody every time we visit. Vaccines and masks ...if you like the security blanket, go...

I have a different view of forms than I had as a younger guy. After a big accident all I could do was forms to rehab from my whiplash and back injuries. Also, as I understand it, forms are the encyclopedia of alot of traditional styles.

I dont teach children so I do not have to deal with that kind of thing. When students talk about rank i ask them what belt rank is Mike Tyson, Zab Judah, or Sugar Ray Leonard? But as I said, I dont make money from teaching. Mostly I teach to have training partners. If after 3 or 4 years someone...

I suppose I should start looking at dates on the posts. Oh well.

I like to teach Chinese sau blind folded so I would definitely include sensitivity/energy drills if I had visually impaired students.

I dont give out black belts or any other belts. We train and spar and train and spar. Belts are irrelevant to us.

I only run classes with 5 or less people. Obviously I do not make much money but people that come to train get trained to my standard. So I will never be a "successful " gym but the people leave with my best efforts to train them to defend themselves.

What is your lineage?

Street clothes and boxing shoes or if in a dojo, Gi pants or muay thai shorts and boxing shoes. When I train outdoors I just wear normal street wear.

DK Yoo is a hype train. He learned how to sell hype. Just like a lot of teachers. I was not impressed before but I was impressed with seeing him get in a ring and jam. It takes iron balls to fight in a ring.

Who is your lineage through?

New York style Handball is way better.

Because Thai people and South East asians are tough and the culture has had Muay Thai Boran for a long long time.

Meal plan and meal prepping, burpees & jump rope are going to help you.

Kru Jeff is the man!!!

Boxing and or Muay Thai is the best for self defense against untrained people on your feet. Anyone who isn't training westsrn boxing is missing out on what is the most realistic and visceral response to aggression.

There are people that are pretty good in perfect conditions. In a 68 degree gym, in their uniform or yoga pants they can look just like " insert whatever great fighter".What about training in the cold? You ever tried techniques that require dexterity in the cold? You ever try to execute wrist...

And for the record, in my group and my teachers groups, there are 5 jabs. So you should go to class and some boxing lessons Before you spar and or armchair quarterback.

Why are you calling people theoretical? Are you a professional fighter? An armed guard, or a soldier? A street thig? Then everything you are saying is theory. Some of us have held some or all of those jobs. You insult observations by people but, who are you? Forgive me if I'm wrong but it...

I've seen mcdojos of all types. When mma gained popularity Villar and tkd schools started advertising mma classes.

The truth is. If you want good JKD footwork, you have to study Muhammad Ali and other boxers in the late 60s. JKD was mostly moving towards western Boxing and Grappling.

Cung Le, Francis Fong Rickson Gracie Tim Tackett Maul Mornie Vasiliev Too many to list.

Many people want to fluff their resume. That is the only reason for it.

Ju jutsu, Judo, Systema, and JKD all work on that idea
