Question

i was wondring about if there is a really good jeet kune do fighter (bruce lee cocept) and a really good ufc fighter will fight with each other who is going to win? pleas give me the answer and tell me why?thanx :)

Answer 1

I'd say they have an equal chance on any given day.  When Bruce Lee was developing JKD he studied many martial arts - His training was in Wing Chun, but when he came to America he discovered that the bigger, stronger fighters here were able to power past his Wing Chun trapping and fast strikes, so he wanted a way to counter their strength.

To achieve this, he started incorporating other arts - boxing, fencing, grappling (judo and jujutsu) and savate, for example and did a lot of cardio and weight training.  Many of his students are now teachers - the "late era JKD" teachings include concepts from the "Tao of Jeet Kun Do" writings, so grappling and striking are taught in JKD concepts schools.

So I'd say that a well-trained JKD fighter would have a great chance against an "MMA" fighter from Miletich, The Pit, Punishment, etc. - in fact some guys in the UFC train Jeet Kun Do as part of their training. (Jerome LeBanner and Ben Saunders both have training in JKD and fight with a right-hand lead stance like JKD teaches - and neither of them is a southpaw).  

Answer 2

all depends on the situation.

in a real fight it would be jeet kune do , because its fast and stand up fighting

when was the last time you  saw a fair fight in a night club or town ,

ufc is about going to the ground , if you did that for real , the other guys mates would stamp your head into the ground

jeet kune do , cause   fight over after 3 seconds, without risk of his mates  jumping on you  

Answer 3

1- UFC is not a martial art, it is the name of the Ultimate Fighting Championship an orgainization that promotes (short) MMA fights, holds rankings, matches, weightclasses, etc. and fighters may participate using any martial art they chose but may not use certain techniques that are prohibited by the rules (sjm most notoiriously).

2- jeet kune do is also NOT a martial art- it is a philosophy, one that is exemplified in the rules and philosophy of the UFC and other MMA organizations to basically use what works for you.

many instrutors do claim to teach jkd as a style- generally they teach some form of kickboxing, judo mixture- but that is still technically not jkd as that might have been what worked for the instructor that doesn't make it what will work for the student- so even though you can recieve decent training at one of these schools- it is technically not jkd.

3- could one make a philisophical argument that the "ufc"/mma and jeet kune do are "one in the same" well dana white has alluded to it.and the fact that the ufc promotes "using any style that works" is a pretty d**n good argument, but at the end of the day like bieng able to f**t in the tub better than anyone else, no one really cares.

Answer 4

JKD

TRAPPING AND NEUTRALIZATION

Answer 5

Your question really can't be answered. It's like asking which part of the Earth has better fighters, the Western Hemisphere or the Eastern Hemisphere. Jeet Kun Do and Mixed Martial Arts are so similar that they often overlap. There are many Jeet Kun Do/MMA schools which just makes it harder to distinguish MMA from JKD.  Not every MMA fighter can beat a JKD stylist in a street fight, and not every JKD stylist can beat an MMA fighter in a cage.

JKD's philosophy is using whatever works to win the fight. MMA's philosophy is using whatever works within the rules of the sport to win the fight.  

Answer 6

UFC is an MMA promotion, not a style.

Jet Kune do is not a style, it's a philosophy, in a sense MMA follows Bruce Lee's philosophy. You could say Bruce Lee is the father of modern MMA.

Answer 7

depends on the practitioner but style wise seeing as jeet kune do is the only STYLE in question it would be jeet kune do i suppose

Answer 8

skill

Answer 9

If you were to put GSP or Anderson Silva or even BJ Penn up against "a really good jeet kune do fighter" the latter would most likely lose pretty quickly mostly because the UFC guys train in so many different disciplines and are so good at them that a one dimensional guy is not going to beat them.

Answer 10

UFC is not a style, it's the name of a sports league.  That's like asking which sport is better, soccer or NFL.

Answer 11

Stronger for what? Are we talking about competitive Sport, self-Defence, all around fighting?
