Hi guys! I just returned from UK where I did some Jun Fan JKD.
Now
that I am back, I refuse to let my skills go to waste. Therefore, I
am
looking for JKD practitioners to help me continue my
training.
Hopefully, I can keep returning to UK for my grading. I am a just
a
phase 1 student, not a teacher by the way.
I am looking for anyone who has done Jun Fan JKD(Not the
Concepts
stuff) to be my training partner. We could meet once or twice a
week
at some park or gym and do some pad work and drills like 4 corners
and
hands trapping. Of the hands trapping, I did pak sao, lop sao and
the
swinging gate drill. Not too much I know, but still these 3
drills
require constant practice for one to be proficient enough to pull
it
off in a real fight.
Now, why am I looking for just a training partner and not a
proper
school? Because I checked with my teachers in USA and UK. There are
no
JKD schools in Singapore at the moment. By JKD schools, I mean
proper
schools run by instructors who can trace their lineage back to
Bruce
Lee. So it seems more realistic to look for someone who has been
to
USA or UK and done their JKD there like me.
Here's a rough sketch of my training plan.
*Footwork training like the mirror drill. A partner could help
check
how smooth you are moving from left to right and front to back.
Then
there's the burst step and shuffle step.
*Pad work. I have a pair of focus mitts for punching and
kicking
training. The punches I do are the JKD straight lead, boxing
jab,
cross, hook, upper cut and shovel hook. Kicks I know are lead
hook,
front kick, side kick and muay thai round kick. We could do combo
hits
on the pads and drills. For the stronger kicks like muay thai
round
kick, I have a big kick shield.
*Hands trapping. That I definitely need a partner. Even if you have
a
wooden dummy, it will never be as good as a live person.
Now I need to specify what I DO NOT want and what I am NOT.
*This is NOT a Bruce Lee fan club and I am NOT a source of
gossips
about Bruce Lee or his students.
*I am just beginning my Jun Fan training and I am sure that's the
path
I want to follow. Therefore, I am NOT interested in other stuff
like
karate, san shou, silat etc...
*I am NOT doing concepts JKD.
*I am only just starting JKD and NOT a teacher. Therefore, I hope
to
find someone who has already done some JKD. I am NOT qualified
to
teach beginners how to do JKD.
