Trainin' for Jeet Kune Do...

I was just wonderin'...Does anybody know if there are any Jeet Kune Do trainin' grounds in Alaska?

Also, does anybody know where to find CHEAP Jeet Kune Do trainin' equipment? I'm tired of spendin' all my paychecks on just a few expensive items...

 

I don't know af anyone in Alaska.

What do you mean by JKD training equipment?

 

Equipment that would help me learn better ways to train...

 

such as!???

 

The same things that help people in TKD, shao lin, and other MA will work for you in JKD

 

You mean like a cup, mouthguard and pair of gloves? Those are probably the most important

Maybe some shin/instep pads...

I don't think anyone knows what it is you are looking for.

 

Sorry guys. I meant like just equipment to help makin' it to learn easier...Anythin'!!! I guess I was a little vague...Sorry 'bout that...

check that site for stuff. getting some kind of dummy might be good to practice on, ecspecially for throw and holds. dummies arent cheap though.

 

Basically you need 4 things....

1. Sparring gear as already mentioned
2. Impact gear like mitts, thai pads, kick shield, heavy bag etc.
3. A raining partner
4. A qualified instructor with a verifiable JKD lineage

No4 is going to be your problem I feel.

 

Same here Yoda...I have everythin' but number 4...Though, maybe I should get a dummy...I don't have one of those yet...I get the focus mitts tomorrow I think...

 

A dummy will be no use to you without someone to show you how to use it. Even then I think it's next to useless - I'm selling mine.

 

Alright, if ya' don' think so...I guess I'll just stick with my punchin' bag...

 

It's all down to what you get for your money - the outlay for a dummy will far outweigh the benefit to a novice without an instructor. You'd be better off spending the money on a power rack and a decent set of weights.

 

Thanks for the suggestion I'll keep it in mind...

 

just go to the dojo and work out the best equipment for jeet kune do is a open mind thats willing to learn and to be dedicated just my opinion

treu victory = self victory

 

Yeah a heavy bag will be of most importance along with a well connected JKD instructor (AKA lineage) ... in JKD we train to hit , train to stop the enemy at the gate. a punching bag is pretty versatile.

 

What does Yoda think to instructors courses

By the way, Rick Young was amazing Saturday, in Kettering next weekend for the first IMB conference

 

What do you mean by instructors courses?

 

Rick is just amazing full stop! If I ever get a quarter as good as him I'll be amazed!
