I'm curious about the WC connection to JKD. Has anyone here as part of thier JKD training learned the first WC form? Is it taught at all? and if it is taught do you learn how to apply any of it?

Thanks I wasn't too sure about that. I know a friend of mine had talked to a JKD instructor and if I remembered correctly that instructor taught siu nim tau as part of his classes.Originally posted by Cthulhu
Bruce borrowed from many Chinese systems. However, I'm fairly sure he didn't teach any of the forms in his classes. He may have demonstrated them, but he didn't teach them.

Yeah it seemed that's why that particular instructor did teach the form.Originally posted by Cthulhu
Not knowing the people involved, I can only guess that it was that particular instructor's preference to do so.
I can see how SLT/SNT could be used to teach the basic hand techniques, but it also helps develop centerline awareness (though not sensitivity) and could help with the 'immovable elbow' concept. These things could be taught with other methods, but SLT/SNT has the benefit of having it all in a nice little package.
