Combining Jeet Kune Do with an other Martial Art?

Posted at: 2014-09-13 
Jeet Kune Do Concepts or Jun Fan Gung Fu is a complete fighting system in an of itself. The term Jeet Kune Do itself is not a fighting style, but rather an effective approach to fighting. When you are doing what works in a fight you are performing Jeet Kune Do regardless of the style you're using. You could supplement what you're doing with Muay Thai or BJJ, but essentially, you would still be performing Jeet Kune Do. Adding other styles to your Jeet Kune Do is like adding more alcohol to 200 proof liquor.

Wing Chun.

Bruce Lee learned Wing Chun first and went on to develop his own system. Yes I know he incorporated a lot of techniques from other types of martial arts. But at the core of JKD, it is Wing Chun.

Learning the traditional Wing Chun system will help you better appreciate the evolution of JKD and help you pick up some new skills that are not part of JKD.

It is said that Bruce Lee once returned to HK, hoping to learn advanced Wing Chun techniques from his master Ip Man. But Ip Man declined to teach him new stuff.

Bruce even offered to buy a flat for Ip Man's son, if he can persuade his dad to change his mind...

From my understanding, Jeet Kune Do is very fluid and the techniques vary from person to person. Anything you want, really. BJJ would be pretty good because Jeet Kune Do is standing based, right? BJJ is submissions and groundwork, and it's very common.

It depends on what aspect you wanna improve on and what you enjoy most about your JKD training.

Kajukenbo.

Dude... You clearly demonstrate your ignorance with this question.

Hi,

Right now I`m training Jeet Kune Do two times a week. But I want to train an other Martial Art as an addition. Which martial art fits good with JKD ? I`ve looked around in the internet but I havent found a good answer.

I hope you can help me :)
