Questions

In January, I might be getting the chance to study JKD. But I just have a few questions about it.

1) What should I expect? Conditioning and practice wise? Ususally what are the basics you learn?

2) I've heard someone say a JKD punch is different from say a Wing Chun punch, how so?

3) What grappling is in JKD? (the teacher I will study under was taught by Jerry Poteet)

4) Is there sparring in JKD? If so, what kind and what degrees of contact?

I am very excited at the thought of learning JKD, I feel that it will help me grow as a martial artist.

I would say the best way to get your answers would be to talk more with your future instructor. And take time to watch a few classes there. That way it would relate to what is being taught at that specific school/ kwoon.
