Wing Chun Kung Fu or Jeet Kune Do?

Question

what should i do?i did 3 years karate and i know try to learn something kung-fu like.what should i do now? Wing Chun Kung Fu or Jeet Kune Do?

Answer 1

You can't really "take" Jeet Kune Do like you would take Karate. Its more of coming to realize Jeet Kune Do or rather "study" it. You can take Wing Chun, and then apply Jeet Kune Do to that, which would be a very good idea.

I would say go to a Wing Chun school and then buy Bruce Lee's own personal book The Tao of Jeet Kune Do. Its good stuff.

Answer 2

Going from Karate to those two is like learning a bicycle which is simple and easy to use to driectly going to a aero plane. Jeet kun do is much simpler compared to the Wing chun kung. If u must, go for Jeet Kun do or try something like Muay Thai which will be useful in the streets. Even Judo will do a world of good when mixed with Karate as Judo is all about throws and grappling and Karate is more to do with strikes giving you a complete cycle in fighting skills. Ju Jitsu is other option to Judo.

Answer 3

Actually, it's kinda like asking which should you eat, an ice cream cone or a chocolate flavored Ice cream? You can eat any flavor of ice cream with or without a cone, the cone however offers convenience and makes ice cream easier to eat and more enjoyable. Jeet Kune Do is a training philosophy or to put it simply, a training guideline, it can be applied whether you're studying Wing Chun, Jujitsu or Muay Thai. It won't teach you how to do a particular technique, you learn techniques from whatever style you choose to study, JKD merely teaches you how to train to do it better and make it more effficient and effective, or if it's not effective, then toss the technique out the window and learn something more useful.

Answer 4

jeet kune do and wing chun are hard to find but if you do jeet kune do is better for self defense and street fighting wing chun is alot of counter attacks maybe you should consider american kenpo it is a chinese style of martial arts but it is made for street fighting it is a very good self defense art

Answer 5

As a martial artist, you should know better that it is not the style that makes the man. You have to find what works for you... Both styles are steeped in Chinese Philosophy but it all depends who teaches.

Why don't you give both a try and see which instructor, not style, is more suitable to bring out the best in you. Good luck.

Answer 6

You would like JKD better because it is more linear in its techniques than Wing Chun.
