Hey there, I can tell u that inside the octagon authentic Jun FAN JKD is fallible I know that in sparring its an awesome art. Well IN the "Beginning" UFC's a Puerto Rican tough as nails fighter attempted to utilize the "Art" which he was quite proficient at and was taken down and defeated by some grappler. Now what exact jkd u are refering to Im not sure because B.Lee's was lacking ground skills.

If you're over 16: Muay Thai and BJJ
Under 16: Jeet Kune Do (I swear by JKD for MMA) and Wrestling

I practice Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do under Dan Inosanto, and while there is not quite the same emphasis on ground fighting, there is a good deal of grappling and trapping that I have found effective IN THE CAGE. Poxau-da and Lapsau-da especially. (SP on Jeet Kune Do terms, Iearned moves, not spelling)

Monkey Kung Fu
Tai Chi
Muay Thai or american kickboxing
No Gi BJJ
Greco wrestling or freestyle
I trained from summer 2007- summer 2008 at Team Link with Gabe Gonzaga & although i learned a lot of BJJ we mainly trained with the gi. I hope to start training again soon ( had staph & knees are really f'ed up). I plan on joining a different school that focuses on no gi BJJ. To me 70-80 percent of the moves i learned cannot be used without the gi. They always told us that training with the gi would make us better at no gi but training no gi is best imo.

I know this is old now, but I wonder if anyone else noticed the Lyoto Machida reference.

Right on. I think people tend to gravitate towards what's effective.
If Evans goes down and possibly Rampage after that, Lyoto will become legendary.

That's right, they do.
Here is a possible scenario: Greg Jackson's fighters controlling three of the four belts with Shane Carwin, Rashad Evans, and Georges St-Pierre. A little less likely is Nate Marquardt at middleweight and former Jackson guy Diego Sanchez at lightweight.
A single camp capturing every UFC belt? I know it's not probable, but it's within the realm of possibility. Jackson might be on to something with his training methods. Even though his school is called "submission fighting", the style his fighters display is really sprawl-and-brawl 2.0. His fighters almost never get put on their backs. In fact, of the five guys i named above, only St-Pierre has ever submitted to a submission hold, and that was before he joined the camp.
At this rate, Jackson's name will be like the Gracie name with respect to defining a generation of mixed martial arts.

Hey just passing by. Does anyone know where I can get a training coach for self-defense/survival? Would like to connect with one.

Maybe google gym around your area and ask people their? It's the best way to find a coach nearby i guess..
People usually dont agree with this. But point sparring will help, for example Japanese karate style footwork and striking. This will help move in and out without getting hit and understanding distance. Then learn a good amount of wrestling. This to me is key. But it's a very different way to look at it.
