    I studied JKT for a year and what I remember most about it was it was a blend of different martial arts for dealing with different situations: for mid/short range/clinch striking it drew a lot from Muay Thai, ground work was a blend if wrestling and jiu jitsu, and I peaked just starting to learn knife fighting which drew from arnis. The primary philosophy of JKT I was taught was, inflict as much pain with as little effort as possible to 1) discourage your opponent from continuing the fight and 2) giving yourself the opportunity to escape. So thats probably a long winded way if saying I agree whole heartedly with the message of this video that practical self defense comes from lots of different techniques and arts to be able to deal with different practical situations you would encounter in a street fight.

    Bruce Lee died at the age of 32 not 33. He would’ve turned 33 that year but he died in July. His birthday was in November.

I've taken genuine inspiration both from DBZ and from Bruce Lee, so it's cool to see someone making a video like this. Also, it's good to see another video from you. :) I look forward to whatever you come up with next.

    100% agree with everything you say. When I was a kid my dad wanted to do a martial art. My great uncle ran a judo school and that was what my dad wanted me to do. During the 70’s and 80’s the UK had a few world and Olympic champions. However I was more interested in football (soccer to our USA friends). I was okay to good at this but it was what most kids did. Judo just never sparked my imagination. I told my dad I’d prefer karate. He just didn’t seem to be that enthusiastic about me doing karate. I also told him I wouldn’t mind giving boxing a go. He wasn’t that enthusiastic about me doing that either. However, I now believe that I would’ve been pretty good at boxing. I’m now 52 years old and three years ago I started doing a Korean martial art. My fitness, confidence and general well-being has improved massively. I no longer have backache. My overall strength has increased massively confidence is back to where it was 25 years ago. The sense of community is also a massive benefit. Basically, it is never too late to start something new.
