Mind and Skills 7

In jkd you should use everything in the simplest way possible following by the way your body would allow you to use techniques not the way the fighting systems tells you.   Use no way as the way this means the way to fighting is within you where it has always been not these styles which have many unnecessary movements that don't allow the individual to perform at their maximum in a fight because they have in them a fanciness that does not apply in a street situation.

Jeet kune do means the way of the intercepting fist witch to me is the greatest way of attack in jkd.  Intercepting allows you to stop an opponents attack before he or she can complete it. "Bruce Lee" combined useful techniques and ways of attack from "wing chun","boxing", kicks and footwork into intercepting giving a fighter many options when performing this on an attacker using hand moves and kicks because they will get to your attacker first.


Blackjkd is just a name, i made up for my own way of fighting, i learned a lot from studying  "jeet kune do" but it’s like a lot of people haven’t because they still believe that styles of fighting hold some type of magical something in it that can deal with everything those people fail to see the flaws in these fighting systems they fail to see that they only deal with one thing unrealistic combat. If you use styles you should be in a sport were they will work.


Some practitioners in "jeet kune do" think sparring in a dojo or in a gym practicing mixed martial arts is the way you do it it's not you must leave those places because attackers will try to get you anywhere and harm you an anyway with anything so we need to learn to defend against all things violent no matter the situation.   People who have styles are the same they don’t practice fighting the real way they fight in tournaments against other fighters of the same style with rules on a mat in front of many viewers and cameras in real combat anything goes.


In "Jeet Kune Do" you learn the art of understanding knowing your body and how you perform so that you learn the truth in fighting.  With fighting styles no person will learn true fighting they will only learn limitations,fancy movements and no understanding of the true abilities that they or any other person  possesses because they're focusing on just the few exercises,techniques and skills that each style gives which also include no reality.

The Headlock Technique

A headlock is never good for anybody to use from the front or the back because your always open for strikes. 

True Human Fighter

A person has to be their selfs you cannot be someone else because your lying to yourself your acting and that's not going to help anyone with their fighting skills or strengths.  "Jeet Kune Do" is the art of self-expression not doing what "Bruce Lee" did in the movies.  What "Bruce Lee" did in the movies is not what he would do in real life.

In reality what "Bruce Lee" did was absorb everything he found to be useful in the streets against any opponent regardless of their size, strengths, and skills.  It's all about what you can perform as a individual you search your body to find out if theirs another level to your skills.

Right or Wrong

The only things that, I know some people have wrong about JKD is that they think it's a style,  a mixture of different forms of martial arts, and some people think it's just Kung fu with a different name.   JKD is all about human anatomy the mind and body learning how to utilize everything that he or she has found to be necessary in combat.  The information that "Bruce Lee" put into this can work for anyone because it's all about what that individual is mentally and physically able to handle.

Multiple

In a multiple attacker fight no attacker will wait for you to finish beating on their partners before they come in to get you.  Always watch your back to make sure no one is coming up behind you.

Mind and Skills 6

A person that thinks in battle is slower than a person who reacts in battle.  Reaction is a must it is a part of being successful in a fight and is the most important thing next to your skills and strengths.  There are many ways to increase your reaction ability using other people and equipment.  No one should have thoughts running through their mind it can defeat your reaction and you could get hit by something because you were not aware.

If you have a speed bag then you have a good peace of equipment that can help increase this ability.  The speed bag is the most useful thing to build your reaction because of it's fast movement it will force you to move faster.  You should combine any useful striking techniques and put them in a combination with footwork and avoiding skills like in boxing so you can get the most out of using a speed bag.  You may think that having another human around sparring with you can help your reaction better than a speed bag maybe if their fast and had a lot of energy.

If you have a tennis ball, and extra shoe strings keep them you can create something very useful.  Another way to build your reaction is to hang a tennis ball 2 or 3 feet away from a wall.  Use whatever is necessary to build this ability their might be a day where you may need it.

Mind and Skills 5

If you want to be a great teacher you need to know reality and the non-reality of fighting.  Both of these must be taught so that students will know how to separate sports from street fighting.  The worst teachers in the world are the ones who teach people crap, the ones who teach people skills that don't work and are to difficult and to make things worst when their students make a mistake they don't correct it, I've seen this.  To counter this ignorance you need common since to see that what your doing is obviously not going to apply in street combat.

The reason crappy fighting is still being taught is because the unnecessary parts of each style still exists.  I can't believe no one has removed these fancy forms, attacks, and rituals yet there all a waste of time, energy, and money they should have been extent after the creation of JKD.  Another part thats unnecessary are the names of each style you don't need them you can only be called a fighter nothing else.

The great mistake a lot of teachers make is they don't teach reality, they don't teach people what usually happens in the streets when you get attacked or what can possible happen like for example they will try to teach you how to fight multiple attackers and with one person attacking them at a time in real life no one in a group will wait for one of their own to finish before they come in to attack.

A true teacher is one who keeps learning by studying the world through violent footage, and studying books, DVDs, and people and absorbing everything and sharing what they found useful.
