Whats your Jeet Kun Do?

Question

Or rather, whats your mix of martial arts that work for you best and allow for your own self expression?

For me:

-Wing Chun because I love the centerline theory and deflections.
-Greco Roman wrestling from my High School
-Tang Soo Do and Tae Kwon Do for kicking as their sidekick is really easy for me to use and good for range

Answer 1

Hmmm...let me see, I did start out with learning Wing Chun from someone who claimed to have been certified to teach it back when i was in high school, but since from observation I have concluded that it was a watered down version, I didn't really consider it as a part of my legitimate training, even though some of the techniques I've learned from it have proven to be effective in the few tight spots that I have found myself in a couple of times back in college. I have trained in Boxing, Kickboxing, Aikido and Kali, and dabbled in Tai Chi more as an exercise than as a system of self defense, but all these are merely complimentary training for my ultimate main self defense system, which is the hundred meter dash : P

Answer 2

I'm still really in the beginning of my evolution, but here's what I plan on doing.

Tae Kwon Do is my base art. I've been taking it on and off for 8 years. I just stopped taking my second style of it to start two new styles:
Hapkido- A good complement to Tae Kwon Do with it's joint-locking/manipulation, throws, and defensive kicking.
Kyukido- This art begins with Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido concepts, and moves into Judo/Jujutsu with more time.
After that?
I'm probably going to take Judo, Jujutsu, or BJJ. Hapkido and Judo share many throws, but I haven't learned much ground fighting (Or close grappling for that matter [I'm still a beginner in Hapkido and Kyukido), and a little more throwing practice wouldn't hurt. :p
Wing Chun looks great too. It has some good theories, and I know if I find a good school (Hopefully with sparring :P): It will help out my hand techniques. I can throw some decent attacks, but I know that if I took that style, I would become fluid with whatever hand techniques I have learned. I mean, Jeet Kune Do conceptual hand techniques are "Western Boxing, Wing Chun, and Fencing." ^_^
I would love to take Capoeira again. More fludity to my moves, and crazy reflexes: I like. :)
I'm also interested in Kyokushin Karate, Muay Thai, and Kung Fu, but I don't have time to take all of those styles. I guess it's going to really depend on what I have available to me.

You have a great mix I would say though. Those styles would cover you in all fighting ranges. I think you picked a great set, and the first poster did as well.

Good luck with your training.

Answer 3

PugPaws2 says it good. Jit Kun Do is a philosophy or an perspective and now not a truly variety. Anyone have to recognize a few truly patterns earlier than he can observe Jit Kun Do. It is only a repeat of the Japanese precept of Mu Shin that existed lengthy earlier than Jit Kun Do. Great martial artists will have the capacity emphasised in Jit Kun Do while not having to research it. In the film "Enter The Dragon", Bruce Lee mentions the, "Art of Fighting Without Fighting", and Jit Kun Do is identical in a process of speakme. Jit Kun Do or Jeet Kune Dao indicates Intercept Fist Way. "The inflexible very wellis uprooted by means of the cyclone, however the supple willow survives" is the notion, or you'll say, that a martial artist must be a flowing flow, as a substitute than a rock. Basically, its intent is to react appropriately and immediately to any given competitive movements, as a substitute than having inflexible patterns. It turn out to be a reflex, if any one can obtain it.
