ha ha, you're funny. I pictured more of a shen-long swirling and dancing in the clouds. With the last name Rankins, I doubt that would sound too good. Rankins Long Kune Do...nah.
Yes-it sounds good
Rankins Long Chuan Fa.......
very professional and good...lets do a poll for another thread:
Rankins Long Chuan Fa
Rankins System of Long Quan
Rankins Long Kuyhn Do
Rankins Lohng Quan Tou
Rankings Gar Long Kune
please consider changing from Dragon Fist-----sounds immature and fantasy.
Why bother naming it in the first place, just let it be what it is without having to dub it something so you can tell people you created your own style. The less focus on superficial things like names the better i say.
Yeah, I agree, I think I'll just stick with Jeet Kune Do, close enough eh? Checkmate for MartialMan
Man, I like your spirit.
Dedication, Individualism, Conviction in thought....
Instead of looking to get on the offensive, or defensive, simple skills as realising people are people, and carrying on with such facetiousness, is a quality that many in the world, including some on forums, have to adapt.
It is a system of philosophy dedicated to individualism.
A MMA before the coined term.

And with any process, there should be a teacher helping one. Or you have the typical nomad martial artist meandering from one thought process to another saying that it is all about them, their, me, mine, etc.
Bruce and JKD was founded by studying other arts and principles first. With people teachers of those arts and principles. Not merely from books and vids.

He didnt kick above the waist for hardcore effective fighting.
And he had many years studying other things.
And he would be apalled to those making any reference to JKD in such manners a glorification.
And Dragon Fist still sounds fanatsy....ye Long Quan practitioner

And what are you trying to say by "Bruce was one of few 'exceptional'"? Do you mean that only exceptional people are capable of great things, that even with hard work and dedication, that if you're not exceptional, you can't be great? Come now, Bruce Lee was just a man, a human being. With great philosophical insight mind you, but he was simply human, and he didn't want to be looked upon as "exceptional". He wanted us all to know that through will, determination, and hard work, we can be what we want to be. He did it, now why can't I?
i agree with both of u and i'd like to say that bruce lee was a mind fighter not the body
he thinks and the people who thinki s better the people who fight for just kicking ass so he is a great thinker and the thinker must win after all .

I agree with most of what has been said, I think of JKD as clay and you should just learn the basics and add to it. Its not a style, its your preferred way of fighting. Also, I thought he learned the high kick from Chuck Norris while they were filming the movie.

Jeet Kune Do i nothing to us but a philosophy and a guide.
To Bruce Lee it was just a name with no meaning, just something to call his philosophy.
just learn what you need and works for you, and don't pay attention to the rest.
become an individual, with your own style, and possibly philosophy

well actually, one can learn from the books and videos, but to be able to do it and train with it you do have to have an instructor.
and what fundamentals would you be talking about?

It is the other way around. Yiou can train on your own from other sources, but to actually learn you need a teacher. A teacher can point out if you are doing hings incorrectly.
Thus, gong into the other subject
Fundamentals have to be taught from a qualified live teacher, in order to show correct and proper via fedback.
When I speak of fundamentals. I am not speaking conceptially, or of concepts.
Simply,if you start of doing wrong, you would never know it unless there is someone live that also had trained live from before.

One can self train, but not self taught.
yeah u can self train but u could teach urself but u'll have to think well with ur mind
