Jeet Kune Do allows every part of your body as a weapon, and also atks all of the vulnerable areas of your opponent...This is not for sport...I don't know how else to explain it...
No not really,Ive trained in Jeets sister form Ed Parker Ken Po
The whole idea is to strike hard,and use what works in the situation you are in
You just agreed me.....USE WHAT WORKS IN THE SITUATION YOU ARE IN!!! and guess what if your pinned down what would be stopping you from grabbing the groing or biting your opponent...>OHH thats right, the rules...how could i forget the rules...Rules are exactly what make JKD limited..>NOT USELESS>..just limited...Deal with it!
Not really,actually not at all,not one iota actually
What is the situation in an MMA bout?
Well deal with that
Both styles describe the when and wheres of going dirty,that would obviously not be the correct situation
We were trained to also know your social situation,and to understand that taking out an opponent while creating mutual respect,instead of lasting emnity was preferable
But we were also trained that,sometimes its just gotta go away,dont play nice
According to Lee...and i quote "JKD is a style that should never be like the Bible in which the principles and Laws can never be violated." ie Rules according to sport...

Don't get me wrong, Lee participated in many forms of competitive combat, but they were used as practice and training for the overall big picture...Oneness to the Art or Artlessness of JKD.

The situation in MMA is not, or will never be what JKD is about...your being silly...I do however have a profound respect for you and your support to Lee and JKD...
