decision

I have been looking for a new martial at to take up, i have been doing a form of MMA but now want to take up a traditional art. I have narrowed it down to either Jeet Kun Do or KUK SOOL WAN, both are a sort of MMA as they incorporate other styles, can you please help with the pro's and con's of each style.

Thank you for your help

 

Can't really comment on either KSW or JKD, but i'm curious... What exactly do you mean by "a form of" MMA?

 

if you want a traditional martial art and are considering jeet kune do, your looking in the wrong place...

 

Yeah,JKD referred to as a TMA- I was thinkin' Bruce'd be spinnin' in his grave!

 

Give the guy a break, its confusing enough even for experienced martial artists to navigate the complex names and descriptions of the different arts! I don't know anything about KSW but considering the many arts that influenced Bruce's training, WC, boxing, fencing, karate, wrestling, judo etc etc its not that inaccurate to call JKD a mixed martial art, even if that is different from the sport of MMA.

In terms of your question OP, JKD classes vary massively so its impossible to list pros and cons. Post a link to where you're thinking of training and chances are someone on here will have something good or bad to say about it, possibly even personal experience.

 

:topic: some of us would argue he'd be spinning if it was described as a MA

 

Thanks for the replies, i only called them MMA as they do mix different styles. The ype of MMA i have been doing is mainly based upon Geoff Thompsons ideas.I wanted to do something that was classed as an art as well as self defence, I need something to keep my interest so something like boxing or Muy Thai (although very good) would not keep my interest. I was also looking at Jiu Jitsu.

 

Would be wary of KSW, I've found the training to be awfully sub-par.

Where are you from exactly?

 

i am from Liverpool, England.There are classes in Widnes which isn't far

 

The pinnacle of UK MMA. Missing an opportunity

 

wrexam is alittle to far or are you talking about wolfslair, been there and enjoyed it, but found the teaching and training styles were not for me, Kaobon is closer and have thought of trying there

 

Nah it was the Liverpool clubs but if you don't like you don't like. Widnes though?
