Yeah, at last count it was somewhere north of 60. Maybe 70-something.I just can't believe that I have learned 42 different forms through my life.
Does anyboy have learned more than 42 forms?
Depending on when they learned, usually. Early years sometimes still retain Sil Lum Tao from Wing Chun. A lot of drills and padwork from my experience. Often with the wooden dummy.I went to a JKD school for an incredibly brief period of time (less than a month). But I do remember that the teacher there informed me they do not have any forms in JKD (or at least that JKD style/branch).
I know a few Choy Lay Fut teachers with alot of forms. And of course if you learned other systems...I just can't believe that I have learned 42 different forms through my life.
Does anyboy have learned more than 42 forms?
Hmm...no direct answers
So no one here even learned the tradition Jeet Kune Do form Ung Moon?

There's a couple direct answers they just seem to be inconsistent with each other lol. JKD isn't just one organization though so it makes senseHmm...no direct answers

You forgot one, the form of no form.Forms in JKD? There are no forms in JKD.
"Five Gates", maybe.Hmm...no direct answers

Im not sure what the origin of Ung Moon is to be honest.
Its almost shocking none of us got the same JKD
I'm not. There is the group that teaches what Bruce Lee taught and then there is the group that teaches based on philosophy which does add things along the way.
As for aa JKD form; Have you read anything Bruce Lee wrote? A form in JKD is the antithesis of anything Bruce Lee said or did as far as JKD is concerned
So you were taught no forms what so ever while learning JKD?I'm not. There is the group that teaches what Bruce Lee taught and then there is the group that teaches based on philosophy which does add things along the way.

"Five Gates", maybe.
Wing Chun blocks can vary between schools anywhere from 5 basic (ng mun) to over a dozen+. Jeet Kuen Do sustained some number of those basic blocks.
Most of them end in "sao" but not all, in Wing Chun. JKD dropped the "sao" part, because of America.
Pretty much.Different people call things different names because they have different approaches/life expiriences
Yes, I've read some of the material Bruce Lee has written. I don't follow him word for word, although I agree with and have benefited a lot from things he wrote down.
From the sounds of what you are saying, its easy to say we were given different curriculums under the same name. Not a big deal in my eyes.
You sound like someone who enjoys the original/classic version of JKD.
I guess from your perspective I would have an altered/modified version of the JKD curriculum.
