What is J.K.D. and J.K.D.C.J.K.D. is JEET KUNE DO, J.K.D.C. is JEET KUNE DO CONCEPTS.

Ok, First understand this is my opinion and my journey. This is my belief from whatI have read and heard from my Sifus.

If people say Jeet Kune Do is different from " this" or from"that," then let the name of Jeet Kune Do be w iped out, for thatis w hat it is, just a name. Please don't fuss over i t."

-----Great SiGung Bruce Lee-----

People ask me do I teach Jeet Kune Do and yes in a way I do but I mainly teachP.F.S. Progressive Fighting System. That is the core of D.G.C.F.S. I teachJ.K.D. trapping and a lot of its concepts. P.F.S. thats is Vunaks creation andunderstanding of combat just as D.G.C.F.S. is mine.Tim Tackettwrote this: The Concepts group are usually defined as do your ownthing. Anything goes. JKD can be using a Kali entry, BJJ takedown and Thaifinishing move, for example and still be called JKD.Original JKD is usually defined as "What Bruce taught". But what does that mean?

Bruce taught different stuff at different times. How long did the instructor stay withBruce? What was the emphasis at that time? Some OJKD guys are very wingchun, while some like us are more Western fencing. There are no good answers towhat is right or wrong. Both schools have something to offer, but you need to thinkfor yourself. Do you really need 47 ways to defend against a lead punch? If you arelearning different arts, what structure will you do it from. For example the stance ofThai Boxing is different from that of JKD. Thai boxing has great value as it can adda lot to your personal martial art. What stance should you use?The danger of Concepts is that you learn too much.The danger of OJKD is that you learn too little.I could have not said it better myself.I get a little P.O. when people say that they TEACH REAL J.K.D. What the HELLis REAL J.K.D.? BRUCE LEE wrote this:

I have not invented a "new style," composite, modified or otherwise that is setwithin distinct form as apart from "this" method or "that" method. On the contrary, Ihope to free my followers from clinging to styles, patterns, or molds. Rememberthat Jeet Kune Do is merely a name used, a mirror in which to see "ourselves". . .Jeet Kune Do is not an organized institution that one can be a member of.Either you understand or you don't, and that is that.There is no mystery about my style. My movements are simple, direct and non-classical. The extraordinary part of it lies in its simplicity. Every movement in JeetKune-Do is being so of itself. There is nothing artificial about it. I always believethat the easy way is the right way. Jeet Kune-Do is simply the direct expression ofone's feelings with the minimum of movements and energy.

Diet vs. Exercise: Which Is Best For Results?I read this article By Michele Silence, MAIt's just a bit much. Watch everything that goes into your mouth AND exerciseregularly too. Are both really necessary for weight loss. What if you are great atcontrolling diet but lousy at structuring a workout? Or vice versa? Here's what youshould know about diet and exercise, especially if you're serious about getting fitand seeing results.Weight loss through diet alone

Cutting excess calories and eliminating extra fat from the diet can definitely help getyou on a weight-loss roll. Any time you eliminate calories without changing anythingelse you are going to lose weight. And, weight loss will continue for a considerableamount of time until you hit a plateau. When you get to a place where you just can'tseem to lose any more pounds you need more-more exercise that is. Cutting even

more calories won't help at that point and you could end up cutting too many. Thatmeans you will just end up slowing your metabolism down and undermine weightloss even more.Exercise alone in achieving weight loss

Eat what you want and lose weight. That's what happens initially when embarkingon a regular exercise routine. Anytime you burn more calories than you eat, you'lllose weight. So, if you add exercise and eat exactly the same way, you will loseweight. And, the weight loss will continue just like with diet alone, until a certain pointat which it will be extremely difficult to budge from. When this happens moreexercise may not be possible (or desirable). And, too much exercise can lead tostress fractures, diminished motivation, and fatigue.Diet with exercise is the best method of losing weight

Even if dieting is very successful for you, think about what your body is going to looklike. Sagging skin and no muscle tone is not as attractive as sculpted muscles and acontoured look. You can take years off your appearance just by keeping your bodytoned and tight. Exercise is work. Why work hard at burning fat just to put it back onagain at your next meal? You can workout extremely hard but if it's followed by an"eat whatever I want" attitude it will take considerably longer to reach fitness goals.And, they may never be achieved. For optimal results, put diet and exercise

together. They work hand in hand. One boosts calorie burning by adding more calorie burning muscle in your body. Theother limits the amount of calories taken in. Put them both together for a great body that will stay that way for years tocome.

SurvivalisntPrettyWhen I was kid growing up, I would watch martial arts movies all the time. The way

they would jump through the air and do these wonderful acrobatics and jumpspinning heel kicks. I thought, Wow! I want to be able to do that! It was fantastic!No one could be any those guys who knew martial arts. Theyd be just little poserkids and get taught by some great martial arts guru, for free, and so well that in just 1month these guys could take on anyone. My first martial arts experience wasnt thatway. When I first got into martial arts I was only 4. I had the whole world ahead me,but I wanted to be like Ernie Reyes Jr. in the TV show Side Kicks and become one of

the Electric Knights, or fight large masses of adult men and be winning with myhigh flying stunts and kicks, like he did in The Last Dragon. Instead the onlyperson that would take me was my Sensei in Aikido/Aikijutsu. He was reluctant, buthe did it anyway just on a trial. I was in it until he quit teaching and left for with hisother job. Aikido wasnt what I thought was a good show of those spectacularmartial arts, but I found myself having a ton of fun in that class and learning a lot.However, my starry eyed journey wasnt over. My uncle and his friends all joined thelocal Shotokan Karate dojo when I was 8 and I followed suit, I wanted to be with thebig kids. This school was now showing me kicks, blocks, punches and other thingsthat I had already learned from my other class. Here, however, I felt like I wasmaking real progress to reaching my goal in becoming one of those awesomemartial artists I saw on the movies.My Sensei at that school closed his school andleft as well, both men worked for the rail road and they moved the operation away

from where lived so many places closed down and moved away. At the time I was12 and had no guidance any more. I was turned off by joining a school, and myparents divorced so now the money wasnt there either. I still loved the moviesthough. When I was 13 I saw Enter the Dragon for the first time. I watched BruceLee dismantle all those guards and other kung fu experts with his lightening speedand greater skill. I said to myself, I want to fight like that. Yet again anotheradventure in learning came. I set out and asked anyone I knew who was a martialartist or had video or books and would watch, learn, analyze, practice, do things stepby step, then I realized the only way I can know for sure if I can do this is by getting

into a fight. Before then I would handle bigger bullies on the play ground

with my knowledge in Aikido/Aikijutsu and Shotokan, it was far enough

to handle a few kids that knew less than I did. Then when I was 14 I got

into my first real fight. I had fought a lot as a kid and did my moves and

it was enough. This time I had a plan in my head and I was going to rip

this guy a part. I had more knowledge now, and even took tips from the

great Bruce Lee from his books. Ultimately the fight happened and it happened faster and more ferocious

then what I was used to and only a few things that I knew worked in the situation. I found that he was

smaller than me, but he had a lot of strength, more then I had bargained for. Then there was his intent to

destroy me, he was no stranger to fighting and had done well in the past, but he was wild and just

attacked with what he knewVIOLENCE! He knew how to wrestle, amateur junior league stuff, but he

was comfortable taking people down, and I hadnt really grappled at that time yet. The fight was so close,

that I threw out a lot of things. He kept driving me back and trying to take me off balance, and my head

totally forgot anything I knew. My reaction was use violence too. He got close in on me and I slammed a

knee into his groin, but he didnt stop, elbows and cheap shot punches were all I had left. Then he took

me to the ground. Because I was learning the straight punches in Jeet Kune Do I used them, since I

couldnt chamber any other kind on the ground. Moving out of the way and then just grabbing the throat

to get him off me then I was on top doing what MMA now calls ground and pound. No wazas, no locks, no

holds, no fancy high flying kicks. Just a couple of guys trying to rip each others throats out and pound the

other guys head into the concrete, right then as I was walking away, the victor but not a winner in any

rue way, I realized what I learned wasnt enough. I gazed at my black eye found it humorous that I didnt

ven feel him hit me, so wondered if how his groin was feeling now.

My thoughts began to go to the real ways of fighting and what really can happen or could happen. My

journey turned away from the movies and into real life situations where people were attacked or got into

a serious fight. I began to form everything around knowledge rather than just a mere theory. I would

practice, learn, train more, and then I would go to the streets and test it out. I learned control, tricks,

angles, motion, movement, prefight indicators, how to go preemptive without looking like the one who

started it. I added straight violent actions to any move or technique I was ever shown.

As I got older, the gun, stick, and knife disarms came in really handy. People would start jumping me

with weapons and multiple people. I wouldnt use just the techniques shown to me, I would actually

improvise and adapt to how I got into the situation and the person.My movie days were over. All the situations I ever got into were horrible in every way. I found the only

way to survive is through deliberate actions in causing injury to another person, no matter how bloody,

sweaty, torn up everything gets you have to get it done or you die.Nothing ever resembled the demos I

did or saw, survival is about looking good and getting your technique to the T, why? Because it wont

happen, youll find out quickly that with a chaotic confrontation everything changes too quickly and

abruptly to get your footwork perfect, and your hands perfect. One little thing has to change and it could

either do something positive for you or it could wind up getting you killed. Dont predict or assume, to

survive you have to react and adapt to the situation at hand, which may include biting someones ear off,

or getting a large lead pipe and smashing it into your opponent. No style there, just violence and survival

instinct. Survival isnt pretty and we have to understand that. I may turn and twist my ankle in the

process; there is no stopping or any doover. There is sucking up the pain and adapting to the situation

with violent intent to taking out your attacker.

The closer to the true way of Kung Fu, the less wastage of expression there is.Finally, a JeetKune Do man who says Jeet Kune Do is exclusively Jeet Kune Do is simply not with it. He is stillhung up on his self-closing resistance, in this case anchored down to reactionary pattern, and naturally is still bound byanother modified pattern and can move within its limits. He has not digested the simple fact that truth exists outside allmolds; pattern and awareness is never exclusive.Again let me remind you Jeet Kune Do is just a name used, a boat to get one across, and once across it is to bediscarded and not to be carried on one's back.

"Jeet Kune Do favors formlessness so that it can assume all forms and since Jeet Kune Do has no style, it can fit inwith all styles. As a result, Jeet Kune Do utilizes all ways and is bound by none and, likewise, uses any techniques ormeans which serve its end." Written by Bruce Lee.

So there it is, from the mouth of the MASTER! I have BEEN told THAT I do not teach Real J.K.D. My answer to that is,that person is daze and confused and does not understand what Master Lee was saying. I have even seen Instructors onyoutube say IF you do this and this it is not REAL J.K.D. OH they are SO LOST!! J.K.D is a mind set and a philosophy nota style. D.G.C.F.S. is a J.K.D.C. in its approach to combat it is elastic and its alive, my syllabus changes from year to yearas I LEARN better techniques and I am exposed to different techniques and people I learn, grow, adapt, evolve and so todoes D.G.C.F.S. I am not saying that Instructors that teach J.K.D or a variation of it is bad But Those that tell others thatTHEIR J.K.D. is better or that what you teach is wrong That I have a problem with. Like I saidDARK GIFT COMBAT FIGHTING SYSTEM IS not to replace what you may have learned in Tae Kwon Do, B.j.j. mauythai ect..its adding to your tool box.

A good look at what J.K.D. is, LOOK at M.M.A. how it has evolved from only grappling to AWESOME stand up fighters.Well rounded fighters that have trained in grappling kicking, Boxing WOW thats REAL J.K.D. Because they take what isuseful and throw away the rest. NOTE:Under sport conditionsI could go on and on but I think you get what I am saying.Mr.& Mrs.Traylor
