Jeet Kune Do salutation Oakland vs California

Perhaps lost in translation, but we see a difference in the Jeet Kune Do salutation between the original students.
Here you see a video footage of Gary Dill - Oakland school under James Yimm Lee during Bruce Lee's absence of filming. And you see a video footage of Jeremy Lynch of the CA Wednesdaynight group.
I also asked Tommy Gong related to this, but there is no clear answer yet.

Some of us need to go back to the basics man!!! As a fellow Jeet Kune Do practitioner check other lineages of Wing Chun, White Crane, White Eyebrow, Hung Gar, Choy Lee Fut or even better watch Bruce Lee himself exhibite that particular salutation and find the meaning of that. Put some effort man...

"White Crane, White Eyebrow, Hung Gar, Choy Lee Fut" Sounds like a huge waste of time.

@@nicholaspapadopoulos5542 Waay too much to write. Simply put traditional Asian martial arts is more LARP'ing than actual, practical combat or self defense. The UFC and the Internet have proven that. There are 1000 ineffective techniques to learn. Basic wrestling and Western boxing together are far more effective. BJJ and kickboxing together are far more effective. Bruce Lee himself said "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times" I refer you to KZbin vids of Xu Xiaodong who is actively exposing these frauds. And finally I harbor resentment against these Dojos and similar schools that bring in children who wish to learn to defend themselves and they learn nothing but how to get their ass kicked. Simply put these styles are needlessly complicated, ineffective in real world and misleading to people who are just trying to learn self defense in a violent world. Go to few BJJ classes and feel the difference. If your there just for "tradition" and social engagement then I wish you the best.

@@zod5966 So BJJ, Kickboxing / Muay Thai and MMA is much better than Mystical Chinese bullshit. You talk on Xu Xiaodong, who is exposing scammers. I said effort... No, how practical it is!!!!! EFFORT!!!! Be badass without JKD. Mainland China is not Hong Kong man. Do you think you are the absolute. Jeet Kune Do it become a joke thanks to this MMA mentality. Even some Jiu Jitsu schools become joke. back at you buddy... Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing / Muay Thai and MMA are overrated. So take a chill pill or go laid.

Besides you comment on my comment for the salutation video which is crap in my opinion. Even those guys are my seniors / uncles. The tradition of the salutation in every fighting style is the window of cultural respect. How many times have you heard OSS in Kickboxing gyms and Jiu Jitsu clubs? Bowing and stuff? Isn't a ritualistic thing. Even in combat true or sport, the efficient dude is the one who put EFFORT. GSP and Lyoto Machida were bowing before and after the fight. Thai boxer kneeling before their opponent. Tradition and effort. Besides before China took over Hong Kong, was full gang bangers inside the police. And many of those guys become the head on every style in Chinese Art.
