According to Dan Inasanto many of these styles did not provide techniques. Instead they where influential because of a training method, philosophy, conditioning method, or what not to do. JKD can be described as a search for the common thread. Sent from my LGL455DL using Tapatalk

Besides being a martial art Capoeira is considered a cultural art as well. While training Capoeira you will be exposed to other related Brazilian culture. Not to mention at this point you are expected to learn to speak some Portuguese. After all the songs are in Portuguese. Sent from my moto...

Heeey I was going to say that! Also Bagua practioners are known to carry knives. Having trained in BGZ for most of my 35+ years in the arts I've had only one occasion to use it outside of sparing. It serves me very well. Now I just do it for helth and spar with it every once in a while. Sent...

Aaaah xing yi. There is or was a school near me. Talked to the shifu he said he would be starting classes up again after June. No activity the school since before may. I was looking forward to getting back into the art. Oh well guess I'll just have to keep doing what I already know. Sent from...

It is not a kata it is all free form. This is the wedding roda. I'm not sure when the tradition started in capoeira. Sent from my Z797C using Tapatalk

The gung gee fuk foo ( taming the tiger) is the fundimental form of hung gar. Tiger crane and iron wire are the other core sets of the system. Look for those forms. Sent from my Z797C using Tapatalk

After 35+ years of TCMA and capoeira I've decided I want to learn a new art. I remember thinking that kuk sool was always cool. It turns out there is a class for kook sool 5 minutes from my house. I've done some research. from what I can tell is that kuk sool hapkido is made up of practitioners...

Actually the three individuals that were given the 3rd rank by Bruce were Taky Kimura, James Yim Lee and Dan Inasanto. Most everyone else was ranked by Dan Inasanto after 1973. Sent from my Z797C using Tapatalk

It seems to me the young man has a plan. The form he is learning from video is from the teacher he intends to study with. The teacher will make the corrections that are needed. Honestly a Google search would provide the sequence of training material found in modern Shaolin. Sent from my Z797C...

I found the video interesting, so I looked up diamondback eskrima . Most of their vids are seem to be standard vasyan eskrima. Then again I have been away from FMA for a long time. Sent from my Z797C using Tapatalk

I agree with you guys. 10 years ago I gained custody of my 3 children. My training time was gone just POOF! I however would work on things in small segments. Like San ti shi before bed or go through the first two palm changes before they got up in the morning. Now they are all teens and more...

I found this very interesting. It has been many years since I learned Xing Yi, but I seem to recall my sifu being a stickler for functionality. He experimented with boxing footwork and the monkey footwork of our mantis system. I haven't practiced Xing Yi a lot over the years but when I do I...

Sparring is not fighting. Target shooting is not the same as being in a fire fight. Sent from my Z797C using Tapatalk

I'm not prejudice against MP. I have known some of the practitioners for years. One even joined our Capoeira group. The skepticism comes from claims of being able to do certain things in with the chaos of a fight. In the US there is an old saying "seeing is believing." Also the motto of the...

Oh that's not my thing. I believe people don't stay in a martial arts school simply because it works in a fight. There is way more to martial arts than that. I have visited them way back when they first started teaching. I say if people are happy with what they do its not my place to attempt to...

MP USA actually about 20 min away from me I used to know the guy that started the school. Sent from my Z797C using Tapatalk

Yup you are correct. I do remember now that it was him saying that he didn't feel he learned as much about JKD as those in the LA school. Or something to that effect. Having been exposed to some people who trained with him. I would say he was just being modest. Sent from my Z797C using Tapatalk

I did not forget taky he by his own admission said he was not certified in jeet kun do . I know that Bruce's Chinese name was Jun fan but his arts were as I stated. If you look at the certificates handed to his students. There is no Jun fan going Fu or Jun fan martial arts. This was what Dan...

Bruce had 3 arts they were or are non classical gong Fu the Tao of Chinese gong Fu and jeet June do. Dan Inosanto and James Yim Lee were the only people ranked level 3 in all of them. You had to be level 3 to teach. Jun fan was the name of the school. Sent from my Z797C using Tapatalk

Stance, power generation, lateral movement. These all differ from TKD. Then there are the concepts that dictate how the basics are used. Sent from my Z797C using Tapatalk
