Full Contact Fighting

Unity in Diversity

It is often wondered, why there should be different styles of fighting. There will always be different martial arts styles, but why should there be rules applied to “contact fighting”?

 

The Legendary Lee has said “As long as an individual has two hand and two legs, he will fight in the same way” Then why do we have Karate Kumite, taekwondo sparring, Judo randori, and wrestling and boxing bouts?

 

I think fighting is divided only for convenience into different ranges.

Long distance kicking range, medium distance hand range, intermediate knee & elbow range, close grappling and groundwork ranges.

 

Different ethnic groups have developed their own versions of each range, like kicking developed from China would be termed Shaolin Gung Fu, from Japan as Karate, from Korea as Taekwondo, from France as Savate, etc.

 

Similarly hand attacks are developed in western boxing, eastern karate, and Filipino Kali.

 

Knee elbow attacks are predominantly practiced in Filipino Kali, and in Muoy Thai from Thailand.

 

Westerners grapple and do groundwork with Wrestling and easterners with Judo and Dumog.

 

So we can conclude that martial arts are divided depending on predominant range and ethnic method of using that range.

But how can free style contact fighting develop without the combination of all ranges and styles?

 

Practitioners learn one style and get stuck to its limitations and start believing in it as the only truth. Then they say that they respect other styles. You can only respect a style when you derive from it. When you adopt its advantages and discard its limitations, yes for this you have to first open your mind to learning it. That means starting off as a beginner with the novices after already being an expert in your own style (which can at times seem demoralizing).

 

Lee advocated studying all ranges and imbibing the useful and reject the limitations.

So the difficult to execute high kicks of taekwondo may be replaced by the groin and knee kicks, the high guard of boxig be rejected as it does not protect below the belt, while the rabbit and kidney fouls be absorbed. In grappling the fouls of head, neck locks and hammerlocks be absorbed, while the jacket throws be rejected.

 

Even on the mat the impact blows of karate be used along with the matwork principles of pinning of judo, along with the locking techniques of Filipino dumog and western wrestling.

 

The Legendary Lee outlined these principles in his Jeet Kune Do and firmly stated that  JKD is not a new system. But there are spates of JKD style schools all over the world. The immature martial artists search for a new style will never end.

 

All full contact martial artists must therefore advocate fighting in all ranges as part of their teaching curriculum.

Bottom Note:

 

The Philosophy of Jeet Kune Do Ideology, Mumbai

 

 

 The Jeet Kune Do Ideology Mumbai is inspired by fighting principles of the legendary Lee & Sun Tzus art of War.

 

This Jeet Kune Do ideology will help the Mumbai based martial Arts seeker and practitioner to find his destination. The destination can vary from physical prowess in the ring to combat & martial art skills to mental balance and eventually to spiritual development.

 

Jeet Kune Do is a journey and represents each mans search for truth both in the Martial arts and in life.  Lee has said that  via Jeet Kune Do Life opens its avenues to us.

 

Lee  founded Jeet Kune Do, but wished he did not have a name for it. Lee  fans and martial arts enthusiasts all over the world have elevated the word Jeet Kune Do to its present spectacular status.

 

The martial arts seekers and Lee fans in Mumbai can avail of these benefits from the Jeet Kune Do Ideology.

 

Those outside Mumbai, in and around India can also approach us for guidance in their Jeet Kune Do journey. If you are prepared to travel to Mumbai, we will help you with your martial arts evolution. 

Knowing is not enough, We must apply.
Willing is not enough, We must do.
