Misconception clearing time\
1st The 1 inch punch is taught in the style of Wu Chin,the first style Lee trained in
Do you mean Wing Chun? He studied under Yip Man. Also.....ok, the originating art lends no weight to the argument of it being something applicable or real.
2nd I would like to see someone who thinks its just a push put their knuckle 1 inch away from someones chest,and launch them airborn 3 feet in to a chair,and then have the chair slid another 3 feet,or in the case of the 64 invitational,just get knocked over
I didn't see anyone getting 'air' on either of those videos, and definitely not being 'ariborne' for 3 feet and landing into a chair. What i saw was someone standing square on and unbalanced being pushed into a chair. yes there was an element of punching in it but there was also a lot of pushing going on. I'll ask you to do an experiment. Have someone stand square on at you...and push them lightly with your finger, they will start to go back because the weight displacement is incorrect to give good balance if you stand square on.
3rd Jeet Kune Do is a style,and there are still two certified trainers of Lees original students Dan Inosanto,and Taky Kimura,both have cerified teachers as well
I always thought Jeet Kune Do was a concept. In other words. If someone came up to me and demanded my wallet and i spat a greenie in their face causing them to run away. I could call that Jeet Kune Do as it was employing my spitting attribute to fit the situation. Maybe i am grossly wrong on that mark.
