MMA vs JKD | Similarities and Differences

[@Darkknight-xs5ne]

Thanks, one of the best modern jkd video I’ve come across, was looking for a video like this; how jkd would compare with the modern mma style

[@Calvin-s2z]

Your gym looks like one of the best I've seen your right about MMA gyms not focusing more on boxing and wrestling

[@vintdockery9121]

AWESOME INFORMATION! Wish you had one of your JKD instructors out here in Castroville Tx or San Antonio TX.

Excellent video

[@leorosa]

Jones mastered JKD's finger jab

[@axelstone3131]

The only similarities are they both have punches and kicks. That’s it.

I hate mma

[@-WiseGuy-]

I appreciate anyone sharing valuable knowledge to the martial arts community, but the entire premise of this video is flawed. MMA cannot be compared to JKD, because MMA is NOT a style...it's a rule set. And comparing a rule set to a style is like comparing an orange with a method of peeling it. It's a nonsensical comparison. Furthermore, the liberal rule set of MMA allows for vastly different stylists to compete in the same matches, so there is not even a general MMA style to speak of. The most specific you can say is MMA requires, at minimum, some combination of striking and grappling.

[@KeyserSoze23]

It's 2024 not 1993 anymore, MMA certainly is its own style now which like the video explains is a mixture of stand-up and wrestling. Every top MMA fighter has some level of kickboxing and grappling (wrestling and bjj). Even a "sambo" guy like Islam adopts a kickboxing striking style on the feet.

@@KeyserSoze23 Wrong, wrong, and wrong! At least your consistent.👍

@@-WiseGuy-Did you even read what you were replying to, or did you just throw words together and hope for the best? Next time, maybe take a moment to understand before you embarrass yourself further.

@@KeyserSoze23 Says the clown who can't process facts when they are clearly written. I will attempt to educate you even though your thick skull seems pretty impenetrable: 1) MMA is a catch-all term for "MIXING" various styles. MMA is NOT a style...period! And the fact that it's in the very label itself ("MIXED" - Gee, what are you mixing??🤔) should immediately make you feel embarrassed to have ever insisted on such nonsense. 2) "Stand-up" is not a style. It is another catch-all term for any method that deals with fighting on your feet. "Wrestling" is also another catch-all term for any ground fighting system (although "grappling" is more accurate). 3) What the video explains is WRONG! 4) Every top MMA fighter DOES NOT have some level of kickboxing...you just made that shit up!🤦‍♂️ (Hint: Boxing is not kickboxing, Karate is not kickboxing, Taekwondo is not kickboxing...plenty of striking systems that are not kickboxing.) Just because some ignorant dipshit asserts (and repeats) something, doesn't make it true!
