    Study your Tao some more. Maybe you will find inner peace, like Kung Fu Panda.

    Seriously?

    Chill out man, don't give yourself a heart attack.

    And yet you have started threads telling us what JKD and isn't.

    All I see is a mention of you not wanting to name your instructors. I can understand that. The very few people I know outside of MAP know who my instructors are. That's not the issue. The issue is from that same introductory post you sound just like the people who skip from school to school, never sticking around long enough to learn anything. Not surprisingly, among those who take their training seriously, insights from those misguided students don't hold a lot of weight. How you describe your training sounds very similar along those lines too. Do you honestly think you're the first person in the history of MAP to be this way?

    If you know a better way to judge an anonymous poster on the Internet, I'm all ears. Hate to burst your bubble, you can't believe everything you read on the Internet. And some of us have this character flaw known as "critical thinking" which make us not take everything people say at face value and want to look a bit deeper behind their reasoning for it.

    If you want to be a backyard Bruce Lee, hey, more power to you. I wanted to be a cowboy when I was a kid too.

    Exactly. For someone who claims to not care, it's quite obvious he does.

    Must've missed that cue. Next time he posts, I'll have to immediately engage in a sinful activity to show my gratitude.

    Do I sound stressed? I was simply saying what you said here...

    ... ie. Your low quality posts stand for themselves.

    Again, you're putting words into my mouth. Are you always this focussed? I'd hate to see what you're like in the gym. You must have eyes like a hawk... My exact words were "I myself", as in, the way "I" train.

    Do I look like one of the bare knuckle boxers from the late 1600's? Oh yeah, that's right, I forgot... You're blind as a bat.

    Actually, Kuma, I don't care. I thought I did, but it turns out I was wrong. I have no interest in your group, whatsoever. So you guys can all have the last word if you want. I'm done.

    Fantastic. You've thrown your tantrum, now you can leave. I'm all about it. Not surprisingly, MAP will not be hindered by your absence.

    Hannibal, Kuma, Humblebee, etc. but honestly, I don't really care what you know, or what you think you know. I have my own way, and it works for me, and to me, you're just a group of knuckleheads.




    What did I do???

    It is not about the art, it is about the principles of striking power.
    Basically throwing your whole body into the strikes and good snap.
    The street is much different because anything goes, including weapons.
    You should study ways of using your whole body as a weapon, not only hands.

    The best techniques for a street brawl include crotch rams and tickling them on the ground.

    I don't understand this appeal to be considered a street fighter. Street fighting is easy. No matter what you use on it, the street's just going to lie there and take it.
