Thanks for your enquiry and welcome to the Mansized forums. We have a great selection of Martial Arts practitioners here and I always feel that its good to be in such great company.

In answer to your point about starting Jeet Kun Do - You will be starting as a beginner. You have done other Martial Arts, all of which are quite different to JKD, however you will, because of your previous experience, find that you have good co-ordination and you will probably pick up the techniques quicker and more effectively than someone who has never attempted any form of Martial Art.

Any weight training that you are doing will go to supplement your Martial Arts training, but don't forget to do plenty of stretching after any of your gym workouts. It is most important not to bulk up and lose your flexibility so don't forget to streeeeeeeetch.

Start as you say at stage one and enjoy the learning of something new. Each stage of the learning process is important so don't try to jump too far forward without understanding the fundamental and basic principles of JKD. I am sure you will enjoy the experience and gradually gain confidence from the depth of your understanding of this Martial Art.

Good Luck, and don't forget to let us know how you get on at Mansized.
