So you were taught no forms what so ever while learning JKD?

Not only never taught a form in JKD, never even heard of a form in JKD...from 3 different teachers, 2 of whom trained with first generation JKD teachers.

A standardized form goes against everything Bruce Lee ever said or wrote as it applies to JKD

Pretty much.

People often forget.


Did you get any forms with the JKD you were taught?

Im not sure if the forms I was taught were standardised or not...there are so many form variations of forms to explore as well.

They were definitely beneficial and highly recommend.

Do you know any forms?

Also should say, IMO, based on my little experience with JKD and lots of reading...forms, standardized or not, beneficial or not, make it "not" Jeet Kune Do.

May be great, may be effective, but IMO, it is not JKD

Oh ok.

Define bother

If something you read creates an internal reaction in you so badly you have to start moving your mind and fingers to say something back...you got bothered

So by your definition, everybody who posts any reply is bothered.
Why are you so bothered?

I'm sorry, but I go with excepted dictionary definitions of English words, not made up ones.

bother: (of a circumstance or event) worry, disturb, or upset (someone).

Your posts and form statements about JKD do not worry, disturb, or upset me

This form? It looks like a WC form to me.

Someone said the Ung Moon form was created by no other than Dan Inosanto as far as I know. NOT Bruce Lee.

You wouldnt have my words on that. The words in the video have my words.

That being said you could've been taught Ung Moon in a Wing Chun class...

Hey whatever the dictionary says bro and thats all there is

I want you to know you specifically have my permission to be as bothered/unbothered, as you PERSONALLY would like to be, by anything and everything I say.

Now you're just trying to get an argument going and being rather silly. I will not waste my time on this any longer. I have said what I wanted and have no desire to help you in what I suspect your real goal is here

Have a nice day

You are most definitely the victim in all this...the words between us forever as evidence.

I accept and acknowledge what I said is bothersome
