Is this a good jeet kune do school?

I want one which practices it the way Bruce Lee did, including elements of wing chun. I know jeet kune do is more of a concept than a system, but you now what I am talking about here.





So do you think this is a good school to learn practical ways?

Is this a good jeet kune do school?
there is no good jeet kune do schools. its not that jeet kune do is more of a concept than a system, its that jeet kune do is not a system at all. bruce lee studied everything which was availible to him, if you want to follow what he did you have to as well. there is nobody who could teach you jeet kune do, not even bruce lee were he still alive. the best thing you could do is read his book, and take classes/attend practices in all the arts/styles/sports which are availible to you, although you should probably avoid the people who claim to teach jeet kune do. and as a starting point remember that lee said a boxer with wrestling skills could beat 90% of all kung fu practioners, so wing chun may not be a good starting point, though it should still be studied.
Reply:I could give you a list of Jeet Kune Do schools but I can't tell you how they practice the art. As most people know Wing Chun is the core of Jeet Kune Do. Like the word Jeet Kune Do is also part of a theory in Wing Chun. For you talking about the elements of Wing Chun the only thing I think they have in June Kune Do that is related to Wing Chun is the backbonce concept which is part of the theories of centerline, vertical punching, and forward pressure in Wing Chun. In Jeet Kune Do they don't do form in Wing Chun. Talking about practice the way Bruce Lee than I think you should study about how he learn. Bruce Lee didn't started out with Jeet Kune Do but he started out with Wing Chun which he learn from Grandmaster Yip Man. Later developed Jeet Kune Do based around Wing Chun when he got kicked out by Grandmaster Yip Man (supposedly for teaching westerners. Mostly the the concepts, theories and principle in Jeet Kune Do came from Wing Chun.

Reply:Master Armando is one of the great ones. "Practical" is his watchword. Energy and intelligence flow from his hands. If you are committed, dedicated, and disciplined, you will never learn more from a single teacher on the east coast. Don't miss this opportunity - give it a try for a few months and you will realize what a great, wise exemplar you have stumbled upon in the wilderness of the USA!
