And if anyway notices Silva is using displacement kicks which are from Jeet Kune do and he's attacking his center with every movement another technique in Jeet Kune Do.
He is just clowning a non stand-up fighter. He hasn't tried doing that........ well first he needs to actually fight a stand-up fighter then I'd like to see he try these moves, and NO Foresst Griffen isn't what I'm talking about niether is Franklin. I wanna see him fight a guy who comes from a strikers background.
Yet he didn't learn them from JKD; Brucie learned them, poorly since he only had a small amount of time in training it, from Muay Thai or other striking arts that are used in combat sports.
JKD takes an awful lot from Wing Chun and almost claims trademark on these moves. I don't think Bruce made this mistake but more his followers.
Actually it comes from fencing, and is the reason your able to set back in position quick when you kick. And beebs, quit acting like you know what your talking about because you obviously don't. I actually train in JKD, with credible people, who've been doing this longer than you been watching MMA.
What does that have to do with Anderson Silva? Anderson Silva is a Muay Thai and MMA fighter, he sure as **** didn't learn it from JKD; they stole it, in watered down form, from Muay Thai.
Huh? Your a ****in dummy. How the **** did JKD practitioners steal a displacement kick? Bruce Lee had had 10 different set of kicks that he incorporated in JKD, and most of the kicks were effective because of the european fencing that he had in his style which gives you an advantage in retreating and advanicng forward so you can set back in position quick enough so you don't get caught with a punch or kick form your opponent. Even the sidekick is effective because of the footwork and the way you displace into it. Cung Le uses the kick all the time and it's because of his footwork why it's so effective.(he'd make it even more powerful if he train in JKD and I know from experiencing it) That was the whole reason why Bruce had fencing in the style. And Bruce Lee also already knew how effective Muay Thai was in close quarters, way before Anderson Silva and UFC.
JKD is a very close martial art to Wing Chun. What they took from fencing is irrelvant to the comparison of martial arts. The punching patterns, the centre principle etc
Yes Wing Chun is one of the basics, mostly the blocks which you learn first but advancing and reteating is also vital and that comes from fencing because without that, you'll never be able to move on to other levels in JKD. This is the reason why I know you've never experienced first hand from someone who actually knows it.
I've noticed you try very often to pull rank when discussing what you think is right. It hasn't helped your argument in the past and it's not helping your argument now.
Pull rank? I'm only stating the facts. If I didn't know what I was talking about, I'd keep my mouth close until I did my research. I've done plenty of it, that's how I know if someone is talking out of there ass. I've seen other Jeet Kune do practioners talk out of there ass as well, and I don't have no respect for them either because their frauds. And i'm sure you've seen plenty of them as well, everyone has to certain extent.
Pull rank - try to establish yourself as a higher authority. I'm actually a big fan of JKD and continously research it. I agree with many principles and like some of the techniques and employ them in boxing. The fencing point has nothing to do with what I was talking about. Holding your stance in a straight line is designed to attack and retreat quickly but it is just as much designed to get kicks off quickly. However you'll see this exact sort of footwork in TKD, Karate and most kick orientated martial arts. As soon as you add versatility into your footwork or add grappling etc then you need to widen your stance.
No, you see more of it in boxing. And my Sifu was a black belt in TKD before he started learning JKD and he had loads of trouble with the footwork because it isn't the same. I don't know who told you that.
