Welcome to my Blog!

Recently due to the movie “Ip buying online viagra Man” (which sounds like Internet Protocol man A sci-fi movie fighting), I had a few people asking about Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun. Here I’ll just give a simple summary about what’s Jeet Kune Do in short. I’ll write another post on what is wing chun martial arts.

Jeet Kune Do, is a translated version of “Jin Kun Dou” and in cantonese, it’s like saying, “cut fist art”, or the proper term “The way of the intercepting fist”.

Jeet Kune Do is both a philosophy and a martial art. It is like theory and practical. Most martial arts out there never teach theory, and only touch on practical, which is very bad.

For the Jeet Kune Do philosophy, I view it more like Sun Tzu way of war, but here, it is Bruce Lee’s Way of fighting. On a more layman’s term, it’s like teaching us how to win a fight assuming we humans are like basic animals, with two hands and two legs.

In summary, the most important thing I’ve learn after going through this enlighting journey about Lee’s Tao of Jeet Kune Do, is that all human body and the way we think are different. Since we are different, it is best we use something that we are better at, instead of trying to learn from someone else who may be good, but yet different.

It is mentioned many times that it is about how good the man uses and controls the martial art, not how good martial art is used and controlled by the man. (though there are still people who believes in the latter.)

I am not sure about this, but since all martial arts came from Shaolin, and it comes from Da Mou, it has split into so many forms and styles we see today. Jeet Kune Do is just trying to tell you to learn all of these arts which favors you or your body. For example, I may tell u the best way to stop an attack is to tap someone else’s knee, but you prefer to parry or counter as your first immediate instinct…

Oh yea, lastly, theres a group of people teaching Jeet Kune Do which teaches the Bruce Lee’s “style” of fighting. So it end up that Jeet Kune Do has split into Jeet Kune Do philosophy, and Jeet Kune Do Martial Art. One group tries to teach with Bruce Lee’s “style” of fighting while another group promotes Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do “way” of fighting. These are 2 very different stuff…

I like this instructor alot:

Now Jeet Kune Do, originally by Bruce Lee, consists of basic forms from Wing Chun, Boxing, Wrestling Jujitsu, and some other art. Forgive if I am wrong, as I don’t really know what he had learnt. The stuff that we saw in Bruce Lee’s movie are just for showmanship; he never kicks above waist level in combat.

I hope I have answered everyone.
