  • ''catching a house fly'' a better title for this video

  • Poor form and disgraceful. When punching who head is that high.

    He spends more time shaking out his body then he does doing his crappy hits.

    He looks like he's doing a crappy dance or something.

    I want to face him and counter it with JKD and say see maybe you should learn more before you attempt to teach it.

    FAIL!!!!!

  • In JKD, if its for speed. The body mechanics are backwards. The hand leaves first.  Bruce classified this as The Hammer Principle.

  • you move too much whit the hips. 1.foot.2.hips.3.shoulder not 132 ....---Peace

  • The philosophy of JKD is for it to be persoanl for everyone like a tailored suit, as burce said the fastest distance between two objects is a direct route, therefore training poor form is not logical and must be rejected. Of crouse you do not want to limit yourself, that said poor technuiqe as demonstrated is limiting the practioner in achieveing maximum effeciency somethig that is counter intuitive to JKD. As bruce said "adapt what is useful, reject what is useless".

  • what????!!!

    

  • Wen Bruce punch, he puts his hip and waist into it, and snap it....which generates an large amount of energy to the target...

  • what a shame

  • nhìn như đàn bà ấy

  • u trying to catch a fly? lol

  • @apsmma I am exactly like you, who is he going to hit with that punch? "punch" yes it is indeed a slap! There is no such thing as JKD punches- as JKD is a philosophy, not a style.

  • I have been studying masrtial arts for over 20 years, practising JKD with a direct lineage to bruce for over 10. Bruce stressed not to argue over wehat was JKD and what was not after all it is just a name. That said you are posting a you tube video and I gues trying to demonstrate a lead straight, the teqhnuiqe is horrible. Your lead hand is not extended at start, you pull punchign hand back to chest after each punch (economoy of motion?) its more like a slap.

  • tiozinho nem da 10 murros e ja ta cansado mas é um Bost memo ¬¬

  • man if u hit someone wit a loose fist u gone either break ur hand or ur wrist lol

  • Bruce believed you should tense all of your muscles for maximum force, utilizing not only your fist but your forearm, biceps, shoulders, pecs and back. Sorry, but your methodology has nothing to do with the original ideals that Lee had for JKD.

  • lol @ old woman

  • WHY DIDN'T THIS IDIOT STRECH BEFORE HE STARTED FILMING........WE AREN'T IMPRESSED ANYWAYS......

  • DUDE, YOUR ENGLISH MADE ME ROFL. IM SORRY. IT REALLY DID. OTHER THEN THAT YOU ROCK MAN, YOU ROCK!

  • Dude your gonna get your ass kicked if it takes 51 seconds for you to get ready to throw a punch....

  • You people need to show appreciation for the people who actually make videos and post them on youtube. If you need to correct someone at least make a valid point from your perspective. Most of you shouldn't even be commenting since you don't even have a single upload on your youtube channel. All of you sound like a bunch of parrots repeating what everyone else already said too. I can't stand pessimistic and negative people. Anyways, thanks for the upload.

  • the girl just passed behind you is funny...maybe she was thiking "what this man doing here? is he trying to catch a fly?" LOL

  • man R you dancing? that aint no punching in the fist place and never in a mile thats a JKD punch. Be real! Dont make a fool out of yourself...

  • china man, warm up on your own time. you are wasting bandwidth and time of the viewers. you punches are gay... just like you.

  • sorry but is ther a fly in ur face

  • he looks like a cat clawing somthing lol

  • ajajajajajaajajajajajajajjajaa­ WTF is that...?

  • i like the way you try to catch butterfly

  • i like the way you try to butterfly

  • kool, this is pretty kewllll

  • Dats embarrassing

  • Can't tell if he is doing a back fist strike or a really weak punch!

  • @Shinkyu42 he's doing backfists to the jaw joint,It's a really painful place to be hit

  • Your punch is too circular. There should be an arc return on the way back. But when it goes out, it must be completely straight. I firmly believe that anyone doing JKD should start with Wing Chun first. It will give you the foundation. All of Bruce's JKD principles will make sense. That's how Bruce taught it himself. You had to learn Jun Fan (modified Wing Chun) before you could learn JKD. Practice lots of straight blast using paper target and wallbag filled with rice or beans for power.

  • 100% agree.... this is not jkd...

  • this guy is just mental he knows shit about jkd or ma ..ts... fuckin weirdo..

  • @pornpan96 LOL... very true, i am completely confused about what is going on, is he trying to catch flys? his guard drops far to low on return... is this a joke lol

  • i am doing jeet kune do an i can say that the footwork is wrong!

  • i think he just trying to show the straight lead in a basic simple way

    but the part using backfist in this stance look weird(like catching something instead of punching)

  • What are you teaching? How to shoo away flys?

  • You R disgrace!! Stop this...!!

  • wtf?

  • He's a fake.

  • The hand is supposed to close at contact, you are supposed to do this drill on focus glove to feel contact, Bruce was against punching the air unless you were doing shadow boxing for cardio. Use the whole body not just the hips, put everything you have into it, but I would recommend to start with the Straight Lead its the bread and butter of JKD philosophy.

  • He looks like he is trying to catch a butterfly. You guys should check out Octavio Quintero

  • no speed whatsoever

    so no power for you maaaattee

  • :'(

  • your too out of shape to be a JKD fighter go get a workout

  • muhahahhaa, lawll. it looks so funny!!

  • fail

  • oh man thats pathetic i agree hes swatting flies =/

  • hes swating flies

  • THEPIELORD42 lol

    yes i agree hahahaa

  • hahahahahaha hes slapping the air like a bitch

  • @THEPIELORD42 he coud slap you liek a bitch

  • @Jitkyundou okay maybe he could slap your moms ass while riding her like a rodeo show but this chinky bastard would never slap me because im a purple belt in BJJ an i dont fight like a 5 yr old girl like this gentlemen seems to be doing so SUCK A SPICY DONKEY BONER

  • @THEPIELORD42 be careful he can slap you like a butterfly....lol

  • @MrNT08

  • @THEPIELORD42 he sucks huh?

  • @maliciousdoc he sure does

  • @THEPIELORD42 Maybe he's catching bugs for dinner XD

  • @THEPIELORD42 I know! omg these people who claim they know jkd are so funny. I have been taking jkd for 6 months now and I find these videos so funny.

  • @THEPIELORD42 This is actually a deadly move called "Hamster Scratch"

  • @Eso1 LOL

  • well, we all need to improve aspects of our art. keep training everybody.

  • this is horrible

  • LOL Who made this?

  • looks like he is catching flies

  • haha im not gonna lie, that was pretty funny..ahaha

  • NOT a straight punch, or even a punch at all, much less JKD

  • hahahaha

  • this punch is very wrong. his body is not in centre of gravity and if someone knew how to fight and blocked his punch, he would be pretty much fkd up.. say for instance someone that knew how to fight close quarter combat...

  • Nooob?

  • jeeez , there are alot of flies around him huh? Nice outfit also.

  • this is not  the real punch, this is more like the eye flick. and bruce lee would wip the ass out of a ufc fighter. jeet kune do is the bruce lee art and you will probably never understand it.

  • Watch out. This man uses "The Force". He's the first to combine Jeet Kune Do and Star Wars! UFC fighters are no match to this dangerous combination!

  • i have been struggling with my strikes once my ardrenoline kicks in my loserms go tense and ridgid when striking the pads or heavy bag, thanks for putting up the video

  • JKD is nothing and it is everything.

  • Also looking at many martial arts you'll find That it's not about the style or whatever your practicing but the skill you have in fighting if one piece of a certain martial arts doesn't work then you discard that part and find another but don't insult its ridiculous and it makes you look like a fool gutsberserk999jkd.

  • skills infighting are aquired by fighting fool another indication that you dont practice martial arts

  • Ill be honest here to the fellow down bellow who is just plain rude and probably doesn't practice martial arts. Don't insult and don't claim. You forget that your on the internet which in includes vast amounts of public and because of it your claim of JKD knowledge is just discarded as a lie, regardless if you truly are knowledgeable.  This man is trying to talk about something he is passionate about not trying to prove a point or make you believe him just informing others

  • he's misinforming others with this nonsense it sounds like your the one that doesnt do martial arts

  • jkds not meant for a fool like you to understand

  • your all claming to know jkd, thus you all fail >_>. Ease, economical, efficient, thats all you had to say from the beginning.

    if it works then it works, if you find something better, use it. damn.

    and if your truely a student, what was it that Bruce said? JKD is just a name right? Once you learn to use it discard the name. you said you've read the tao, then try finding where he specifies that

    when a JKD man says JKD has to be this way or that way, that person is still hung up on himself.

  • Hi Chen1766231

    Your comments are precious !!

    Philip

  • yeah i know jkd and the tao and this aint it

  • @Chen1766231

    Then why don't you demonstrate? smartass.

  • @Chen1766231 "when a JKD man says JKD has to be this way or that way, that person is still hung up on himself." that sounds like what a phony JKD instructor would say. along with "oh Bruce Lee was heavily influenced by eskrima and muay thai."  Do yourself a favor and read a Book by bruce lee. I recommend The Tao of JKD.

  • Looking at what you've said, gutsberserk, you're not worth my time in responding to you. :D

    Each man takes his own journey into martial arts. I am just saddened that you associate yourself with JKD.

  • yeah im sadden that people like you and pixie philip try to claim jkd but you guys dont know shit about it your a disgrace to the legacy of bruce lee your everything he stood against

  • I'm not trying to be mean, but your punch is completely wrong. It's not even going out straight and you drop your hand almost to your waist when you bring your fist back. It honestly looks like you're trying to swat a fly. You must learn to properly shift your weight and tense the fist just at the moment of impact, even if it's just air punching. You must also step out and down with your lead foot for maximum power.

  • it must be a small and weak universe hey since your channeling the universe why dont you contact the spirit of bruce lee and ask him to teach you how to actually punch cause as of right now you just look like a big fairy training to swat all the other little fairys out of the air

  • Actually, he was unable to translate the term properly in his explanation. Since you have such a negative attitude, and one which is improper for learning, I will not further his explanation for you. As Bruce Lee have said, keep the student number low, but keep the quality high.

    If you read further, you'd understand what philip is trying to say. But you didn't.

    離心力 is centripidal force.

  • his body translated everything just fine i dont need to read his words his body mechanics are completely off his on guard postion is completely off he has no idea what he's doing and your right Bruce Lee said, keep the student number low, but keep the quality high. so that dumbasses like this guy dont ruin the good name of jeet kune do oh wait let me translate that for you THE WAY OF THE INTERCEPTING FIST INTERCEPTION IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF COMBAT NOT DANCING LIKE A FAIRY ON CAMERA

  • His body mechanics is not perfect, but its alright. As far as I know, there is no such thing as "on guard position" in JKD. His theory is sound, even if his execution is off. There is evident attempt in using his body as power instead of just the shoulder, as a lot of the modern "martial artists" would do. There is no highest level of combat, only differences in people that practice the arts. Maybe you should learn the philosophy too, not just the form, eh?

  • thats because you dont know shit the on guard position is the stance bruce lee adopted from fencing and boxing damn you trying to speak on something you know nothing about why dont you stop reading non fiction quotations and go buy the tao of jeet kune do then maybe you'll learn something about bruce lee this guys body mechanics are horrible his feet are postioned wrong his pivoting his lead foot which is wrong he's looseing power because of it and his hand isnt moving before his foot

  • "his feet are postioned wrong his pivoting his lead foot which is wrong he's looseing power because of it and his hand isnt moving before his foot"

    To get the most power, the parts closer to the impact point moves last. Of course foot moves before the hand for the better body mechanics.

    There is no standard form. To take the essence within, to open one's mind to all forms of learning, is the true message of JKD.

  • you no nothing about bruce lee do you know what the power line is do you who jack dempsey is how about aldo nadi do you know who ted wong is what about bob bremer i bet you dont do you know what the 2 inch penetration is for and no its not your penis in philips butt you fag heres a direct qoute from bruce lee now pay attention real closely "ONE IMPORTANT POINT :IN ALL HAND TECHNIQUES THE HAND MOVES FIRST,PRECEDING THE FOOT. KEEP THIS IN MIND-HAND BEFORE FOOT-ALWAYS"end quote now your done

  • Lee also says and I quote him. If your going to throw a straight lead then put in a leg obstruction first. Is that politically correct.

  • leg obstrutions are excellent but when you throw the punch after you still have to make sure you hand lands before your foot is that politically correct i dont know i dont care and i dont know why you would ask now let me ask you a question are you aware that allah is actually a pagan moon god and not actually thee god the living god

  • Your a pathetic person. Your a keyboard warrior with nothing better to do than to attack other people's beliefs and ideas. Your foolish for making claims of knowledge and of your assumptions, and even more foolish for believing that you know the truth. I don't even have to defend myself to a bigot like you. If your wondering if I do practice martial arts i do. Muay Thai kickboxing, Jeet Kune Do, and Brazilian jiu jitsu. find something better to do than insult idiot

  • this guys beliefs are garbage and so are you stop wasting your time on fools who know nothing of the martial arts kinda like yourself

  • ouch that hurts looking stupid along with your boyfriend philip huh

  • the only reason you say there is no highest level of combat is cause youve never been in combat just like this fairy in the video your both weak nerds that dont know what there talking about case in point bruce lee said there are three levels of combat the first is block then strike the second is simultaneous block and strike and last but not least the third is interception which BRUCE LEE SAID IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF COMBAT SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT BRUCE LEE DOSENT KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT

  • Then you still don't understand. The highest level of combat, as Bruce Lee would agree if he were alive, is a fight that doesn't need to take place. If you understand the true concept of his teachings, you will learn that he advocates JKD as a self-discovery learning, instead of a hard set of rules and stances. Bruce Lee will definitely agree that a fight that doesn't have to take place is the highest level of combat, when the fighting is averted.

  • did you know bruce had a really bad temper and said he was nothing like the characters he played in movies

  • Please don't ruin the name of Master Bruce here.

    The actress Ms Nora Miao in the film ' The Way of the Dragon' appeared in an interview in one TV show around one year ago, and said Master Bruce was a very nice person. Master loved to making jokes for people around and let them feeling comfortable with him.

    Sometimes, Master would do exercises in the Film-Making Factory/Place because he had no enough time for training normally.

    Cont..

  • Besides, Centrifugal and Centripetal force are from Giant Scientist 's Theory. What's Wrong ?

    Are you telling us that Newton's law and Albert Einstein' theories are Wrong?

    If you can overturn their theroies, you must be a super genius !!

    Find more information and learn more before comments.

  • yeah its newtons law that bruce got the hand before foot from it generates more power using the pull of gravity and body weight you sound to stupid to read anyways unless you just suck at writing in english and it makes you sound stupid besides i train with people who learned from bruce lee himself you live in hong kong watch bruce lee movies and read his book and call him master and your trying to tell me to get more information and learn more ha thats funny

  • i think you were just stupid enough to think that you could put these videos up without someone whos connected to the lee family calling you on it now take em down

  • @philipw2005 yeah, i taught them that and later found out that they are all wrong.

  • i know what interview your talking about thats the one where she said that when he lost his temper it would scare everybody on set listen better next time before you comment and stop calling bruce your master he's not your master you never even met him you weirdo

  • and its centripetal force not centripidal dont fuck with a real jkd student when you know nothing more than what you read online about it

  • Obviously you're not fit to be a JKD student/practitioner if you don't understand the philosophy behind it.

  • i know the philosophy behind it thats how i know this guy dosent and neither do you

  • Hi TiptheJester

    This is the first time I know the English Character translation for 離心力.

    Centripidal force.

    Excellence.

    Many Thanks !!

    Philip

  • you spelled it wrong were did you learn jkd

  • Hi gutsberserk99jkd

    Thanks for your comments !

    I checked the word - Centripetal force- in dictionary. Centripetal force means 向心力. What I would like to show in my clip is 離心力. I think these two are different from science. I don't know the spelling still is right or Not, but still many thanks to You and TiptheJester to give me some clue.

    Philip

  • thats great so where did you learn jkd or are you just reading the tao of jeet kune do and watching bruce lee movies all day

  • JKD is a philosophy as Master Bruce said. It is just a name. Basically, to absorb what is useful and abolish what is useless is one of the theories.

    Fm information I know, one of the purposes fm Master bruce in making Movies is his wish to leave his Kung Fu evidence for his followers and future Martial Artists to follow (Other is for earning money). Master wrote some of his thinking and skills when he was in hospital. But he changed his thinking fm time to time especially about Combat. Cont..

  • JKD is a mixture from Fencing, Western Boxing and WingChun originally if talking about fighting. WingChun Chi-Sau is one of the most important training in KungFu. But, please don't forget WingChun Concept is based on Science.

    The leverage force, the triangular structure, the shortest distance within two objects(interception) are all from Science.

    Here, May I ask one question? Who was Master Bruce's Master? Actually, there are a few. But Master Yip Man is one of the famous. Cont..

  • So.. Who was Yip Man 's Master? and Who was Master Ng Mei 's Master? and WHO...

    I think you may find difficulty in answering mine, if I keep asking this.

    Do you know the answer?

    But, I can tell you the answer !

    The master is the WISDOM inside their mind and brain, which is the understanding about science, the understanding about human basic instinct....etc

    Can I answer yours.

    Philip

  • Hi TiptheJester

    I just find the English Translation today morning.

    離心力 is Centrifugal Force.

    Thanks for your clue.

    Philip

  • Oh, sorry, I have got the wrong word before. Yes, Centripetal is going towards the body, Centrifugal is going towards target. Maximize centrifugal for strikes going out, and maximize centripetal for speed/power in a hook.

  • you get everything wrong

  • Your jkd stand for JUST KIDDING DUDE . right ?

  • this guy sucks he is hilarious.i can kick his arse blind folded

  • wtf

  • OH man, is that guy DANCING... wahahahha

  • :52.. omg... I laughed so hard..

    I didn't just watch 52 seconds of warmup to see a gay chinese guy swat at a bug, did I?

  • who needs to put a video online?? if you know how to do jkd then keep it to yourself for when you need it, or show demos and get paid... but don't post it for others to ridicule it and whatever... cause if you want to prove something, then do it where everybody sees it

  • That was intense. Quite a workout there. lol

  • Does he loose his shoes??

  • lol is this guy on crack!!!

  • it would of looked better if he had thrown the punches straight forward. the jkd pucnh is supposed to end in the dirrection your nose is pointing

  • ..... this looks very gay

  • It just goes to show you, you are never more then a few feet away from a nut job!

  • your not that fast.

  • wow, what a waste of time. this really gives a bad name to jkd.

  • The "force" that Bruce Lee was refering to is the flowing energy of the body. Some call it chi, etc but it is an internal energy that you create.

    It is believed that you can increase it through wingchun and tai-chi exercises. Basically all forms have a process for it in them.

  • keep left hand up to protect face, speed good though

  • Is he trying to catch a fly?

  • There were many flies he was trying to get rid of, unfortunately he didnt get to show us what he planned.

  • man get the fuck outta here

  • THIS IS NOT JKD

  • deffinitley not

  • the woman in the back-ground at 00:57 is thinking, 'what the fuck? this bitch shadow boxes like a vagina.'

  • look like a pussy claw punch.

  • Utter Bullshit!!!! watch carefully and you'll notice BOTH heels come up which is WRONG. his finger flicks arent fully extended either. why do U need to warm up for such a Simple Drill?

  • This is not JKD!! He is punching from a collapsed un-fixced elbow structure and he is telegraphing terribly. He is also dropping the rear guarding hand (Wauum Pak).

    This sadly ranks as one of the worst demo's of an attempt at Sijo Lee's Straight lead punch that I have ever seen, and if you know me I've see a fair few.

    Further more this guy is Chinese, how embarrassing can it get?

  • ya i agree that your not showing Bruce's concepts. To addition to what JunFanJimi said with your hand placement and bad telegraphing, it looks more like your throwing a backfist not a lead. I'm not trying to make fun of you, but if your going to make a video about JKD, make sure you show the moves to people the correct way it should be executed.

    Idk if you were just tired or you need more practice, but work on it and you'll get it right.

  • actually now i see it looks more like a bad angle hook punch.

  • The more I see it sgvfilms the more I realise just how bad his piles must be.

  • maybe you coluld warm up before of making the video...

  • Many thanks for your comment. Actually, I had practiced 1-1/2 hours others Kung Fu exercises b4 recording. I would like to know if I could still punch up to standard when I was tired. Could I still honestly in expressing the punches. Please watch my 'small jump punch film' where I practiced 45 minutes others exercise b4 recording. May be better. Thanks again..

  • You was so tired ...and you still could punch...Oh...but you are superman! Its so fantastic...

  • Thanks for your encouragement. However, I am not a superman, and only an normal person.

    But, Grand Master Bruce Lee was a superman in terms of physical and mental condition.

    After going through yrs comments in SLT, you obviously know JKD and Wing Chun. I will treat what you say as my precious self-improvement knowledge. Thanks for your time.

  • Dear Jackie1one

    The comments in SLT was not from you after checking. I am sorry!

    But, what you tell me is still precious in my life.

    Philip

  • Thank you.
