I don't know if all of you are aware of the fact that you can't learn JKD, but it's just plain stupid to find a place that teaches JKD. JKD is a concept, something you learn and develop yourself based on your own experience in martial arts. The JKD you learn in a place is based on someone's else experience, something which he or she develop him/herself. Try to learn more about JKD before finding a class. If you are really serious about learning JKD, just try to find a class that teaches JKD concepts, not JKD itself. Hope that clears things up.

Btw, Wing Chun is impressive but it's hard to find good teachers nowadays as there are many people that claims to teach the 'real' Wing Chun. If you like using your hands to fight, learn Boxing.

soft ...for me, in martial art u need to be soft(lembut) but not stiff...if not, u will injured ur self...

where did u study wing chun???is it the same as wushu???

There are 2 flavours of JKD: JKD Concept and Jung Fan JKD (Lee Jung Fan is Bruce Lee's original name). JKD Concept is Bruce Lee idea of "take is what good, discard what is useless - be like water". So it's more of concepts, strategies and mixing few MAs up for the best result for you personally.

For those interested in following closely Bruce Lee's way of fighting, then Jung Fan JKD might be for you. So hey, whatever rocks your boat.

Anyone here seen the movie Never Back Down? It shows some really sick MMA moves (not real but nicely choreographed)

any aikido interest here?

I love boxing. The ol' classic boxing that forbids using legs.
Btw, i'm a Judoka here.

Ol' school boxing has not been around since the advent of the jab. But yes, ol' school boxing is brutal.

Where do you do your Judo, I've frens who train in Bangsar Sports Club.

You know, if you mix up your Judo with Boxing, now that'll be something awesome!

if i'm not wrong, wing chun is "hard type" martial art, whereas the soft ones are like tai chi, ba gua, i-ching.

where did you learn wing chun?

Haha that would be deadly, just wondering........where can i learn boxing?

Oo....we have a club here at MMU Malacca.
Lim Khim Seng is our sensei for the club. A 5th Dan Judoka. Also an IJF Referee for Malaysia.
He's good, but i'm lousy. The reason being........i'm LAZY. haha. Need to train more.

wing chun 80% same with tai chi.need soft because the founder are women.women kungfu.don't need use energy.just push or use chi.
good.easy to understand,teach well but when he teaching..he very serious and talk loud

Well, my coaches are good too, and I'm lousy coz of the same reason, lazy.

We have boxing here in our gym, but it's with MMA flavour, eg. modified square stance to prevent takedowns.

Places that offer boxing is Allied Martial Arts gym in Sri Hartamas, TNT and Extreme Kickboxing (also in Sri Hartamas). TNT and Extreme is more kickboxing with emphasis on cardio & fitness. Only Allied had a pro-boxing program last I heard. Also a place in SS2 with a Russian coach but forgot the name. Anyone can help?

Other places are probably RMC, Pulapol, and all those cadet schools which produce some of the country best amatuer boxers.

We used to have friendly matches with Judokas from Bangsar Judo Club. We use BJJ against Judo and normally the Judoka would get the throws and pins but unable to finish with any submissions. Once on the ground, things favour the BJJ chap more, with all other things (size, strength, speed, timing etc) being equal = same weight class.

Well said...thats what i have been doing for 8 years. well not alone but with another bro of mine. He guides me ..sometimes i guide him ( fewtimes )..but yeh we are a part of a JKD CLub here..still its better to develop yourself. Total freedom and make your own moves ( that doesn mean that you will make some meaningless moves). There are things which are needed to be taught.
I would recommend to those who ever wishes to learn JKD to read the Tao of JeetKuneDo c

JKD club? Where do you guys train? Who's the instructor? (JKD extremely rare in M'sia)...

nowdays jkd have changed or mixed.not really jkd bruce lee's styles.i also very interested to know where to learn jkd.

wah chai, if there's a JKD club in Malaysia then its not original. As u know JKD is created by Bruce Lee's thinking and philosophy. No one can able to read Bruce Lee's mind but u can feel his passion. That's mean if u wanna learn real JKD, u have to learn direct from Bruce Lee or at least his close fren...

Actually U can apply JKD in any MAs, u can buy Bruce Lee's books and read, i think this is the best way to apply. Example, u use JKD to enhance your kickboxing...something like tat...

This looks like the only place nearest to M'sia where JKD is available:

Nice understanding & explanation man.

For those interested in JKD, here's a great blog from Malaysia: http://jkd-uswah.blogspot.com/

The video below by Tommy Carruthers, a JKD master, showed great similarities to Wing Chun. But do listen to Guro Dan Inosanto (Bruce Lee foremost student) explanation on JKD. Enjoy!

I like how he translates "attack by drawing" as "lukisan serangan"...
