Originally, when Lee began researching various fighting styles, he gave his martial art his own name of Jun Fan Gung Fu. However not wanting to create another style that would share the limitations that all styles have, he instead gave us the process that created it.Bruce Lee, and thus JKD was heavily http://juniorblackbelt.blogspot.com/2008/08/abc-of-jkd.html1noreply@blogger.com (Hutch)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767956249436241619.post-9057947148400062896Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:54:00 +00002008-07-09T17:00:21.136+01:00Seminars Saturday 5th July marked Guro Dan’s annual seminar hosted by Bob Breen in London. This year, for the first time, members of the Junior Black Belt programme were invited to take part in the first day of the seminar and to witness first hand why Guro Dan has been such as great inspiration and influence on martial artists worldwide.

Our preference for the term 'Kali' comes from our lineage to Guro Dan Inosanto. There are many systems of Filipino martial arts, each with their own names and terminologies. Partly this is because there are so many languages spoken in the Philippines, but also because there have been influences from other http://juniorblackbelt.blogspot.com/2008/03/styles-and-terminology.html2noreply@blogger.com (Hutch)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767956249436241619.post-2793396569445356832Sun, 09 Mar 2008 13:52:00 +00002008-03-09T14:09:05.942+00:00KaliLast week, I introduced the term 'defanging the snake'. If you remember, we talked about a venomous snake, attacking someone and delivering its poison with its fangs. The two most dangerous things about this type of snake are the venom and the fangs. However, if you remove the fangs from the snake it becomes harmless as it cannot bite you or deliver the poison.

This might be useful when you find you hand in a different position, as it might not be possible to recover position to use the previous count.
