people think that if you need to learn how to fight, (martial arts) then you are a pussy... not true, you are only a pussy if you dont know how to fight, you haven been taking classes, and still cant do anything...
I would recommend going back to the small phasic bentknee stance after every combo, so she gets used to retaining her" ready"stance during exertions. Nice snap in her punches tho.
@lightsaberIJKD Well first off JKD isnt a set list of techniques. And Bruce Lee does write a good bit about this kick in The Tao of JKD. so maybe you should actually read a Lee's book b4 runnin your mouth like you know what jkd is
@lightsaberIJKD I obviously know more about JKD than you do. You whom have probably never taken a martial arts class or read even a quote by Bruce Lee.
@lightsaberIJKD I obviously know more about JKD than you do. You whom have probably never taken a martial arts class or read even a quote by Bruce Lee. You still havent answered my question as to what makes this not JKD.
@lightsaberIJKD i'd like to know why this isn't Jeet Kune Do also? Maybe you should do some research as to who this guy was trained by and then maybe you will retract your statement.
@kennbry345 No need to research, just look at the awful moves and you will know that this is the classical mess. I won't retract my statement dude. Get a life
DID HE JUST SAY REAR HAND,GOSH I WONDER WHAT HE WAS THINKING ABOUT WHEN THEY SHOT THIS VIDEO,OH DUH HE WAS THINKING ABOUT HER FAT BADONKADONK.........ME TOO.
this is good. but it`s learner`s stuff. it`s a in a,b,c. we need good stance , foot walk n drag/slide. serious block tecniques n faster motion/response . to be aleast 1 over 20. the art of fighting is way deeper. a good fighter rarely have an opening. i hope this sufi is fast...cos u don`t really see punches when fighting a pro . i just react or counter...
dont say karate is just defense il do it for 20 years now and i think that all martial arts can used both sides to attack or to defense depends on how u will use it
the first defensive maneuver in kempo that we learn is a front ball kick directed at the solar plexis and crossing on guard, its basically that the leg will get there before their hand and it reaches farther so techinically you arent even blocking anything, you see there punch coming and you attack them before they can. that makes it defensive.
dude! dont take karate, karate is wack dude..... its all defensive nothing offensive. you should take muay thai thats what im going to take. ull like it alot better!
are you like 11 years old, or just insanely stupid?
you dont know shit about shit, muay thai is basically a sport, and dont bash karate or say its wack, you simply dont know what the hell you are talking about, please take neither of these things. how can you even answer if youve done neither? are you just going to do muay thai because thats whats cool in UFC now? because it doesnt sound like you have a clue what either karate or muay thai is & need to mature more if you are going to do that
Muay Thai is a sport, and Karate is a sport. They didn't use to be, but the concepts of Karate have been forgotten by most people. It is difficult to find a good instructor that doesn't do comps, there're rules in comps and no rules on the street. find a martial arts instructor (any "style") that fully understands the concepts and you can then learn correctly. But don't say that Karate is excellent when it is also been taught by loads of retards (in no way am i saying that Karate is no good)
@hotmale4u91 they think karate is learned to be brutal show no mercy when its really about turning everything we do everyday into ur own techniques Spirtual karate is true karate jackie chan said so
as far as i know, when you practice a martial art, is to be used as a self defense, competiton in some cases, or as in mine (ninjutsu), self empowering, self development. i have been practicing ninjutsu for 11 years now, and the last time i had to fight, was about 8 years ago, when two guys were trying to steal me...
people like you shouldnt legally be allowed to conceive but ur still allowed to have kids, go make babies and i hope one day one of your kids picks a fight with a kid that has taken SELF DEFENSE classes and gets his shit rocked
Firstly, you swore, which is against the law and then you ENDORSED VIOLENCE !!! towards children, typical martial "artist " and I certainly don't see anything artistic about damaging other peoples bodies and quite possibly killing them . I propose that everyone should have to fall in line with my peace loving standards and anyone who cant withing one year should be killed, especially martial artists ( violence practitioners)
woah dude, martial arts is very peacful, go check out some tai chi, and youve got to look at it from the fighters point of view. When they compete, they are testing themselves, in their mind, they are testing their own skills, its friendly competition. Just like swimming, if you want to swim you have to get wet, if you want to fight, your going to get punched. They all know this and reconcile with it. Just because other ppl tend to shred it w/ impluse and anger doesnt mean its not beautiful.
Of course sir, but remember that you speak in the context of combat, not method of training. Of course a jkd man would choose to develop boxing skill and the ability to open with the rear as well as the lead. As a student of this school I may tell you that we, of course, place due emphasis on the lead vertical fist (wing chun punch).
Yeah Muay Thai is very effective in MMA because of it's devastating power and limb striking speed. Knee and elbows are so important in grappling and in the ring so it fits right in, and in self-defense too, though Muay Thai that most practice is meant for the ring (and very devastating).
muay thai seems more meant for the ring than selfdefense, though not to say it isn't used in combatives. mostly based on jiujitsu, the u.s. mordern army combatives program incorporates muay thai, and israeli krav maga is a mix of muai thai and akaido. unfortunately, muay thai seems to over domminate other forms in mma competions.
i'd really like to see a kajukempo practitioner in mma, that'd be really cool.
I agree, but I believe it's a product of what it takes to survive in the ring: Muay Thai doesn't just deal hard hits, they can take them, and so to a certain extent, requires an athletic body type to effectively use it (via competitors and "ideally" military personnel).
What are you talking about? The only difference between vertical and horisontal punching the the bone structure of the lower arm or shoulder. The vertical fist gives the optimal bonestructure for punching, thats why wc use it. While MMA just punch horistontal without knowing why.
I used to punch horisontal becouse thats what everybody else was doin, but over the years I noticed that my lower arms got sore and learned that it was becouse of incorrect bone structure. Now I use vertical fist...
Bruce Lee also emphasized western boxing in his Jeet Kune Do. Why do you think he did that? Because boxing is effective as far as hand techniques are concerned.
I just love JKD but boxing puches are more devasting and they will do more damage that wc or JKD punches for sure. Yes, thats true. You all can say what you want but its true and it is proven !
How is it proven? Why would Chinese martial arts punch the way they do after centuries of training if it wasn't the most effective? You need to learn about putting chi into your punches. Boxes just try to hit hard but that's not using real power. Keep studying.... you'll get it sooner or later.
So now you think that qi is a 'magical energy of life'. It is the basis of all chinese martial arts but you're a bit too young to understand all this. Once you get to Jr High you might be able to check out some books about from the library. Make sure to ask your parents to explain any of the big words. And try not to get a paper cut.
No, when you are a big boy you can come and fix my computer! Could you or one of your lame computer game buddies come by and show me how to insert a floppy disk?
Chi has actually been traced through the body by scientist. also when you here martial arts masters say sumin along the lines of "you must draw your energy from the ground" that is because 60-70% of punching power comes from the ground, if you analyze a punch or more specifically a good punch it will often start from the ground. legs-hips-fist.
what you are saying about the punching is true. as for chi, i do beleive that some of these martial-artists stumbled onto sports medicine without realizing it (ie pressure points, joint suposition (systema, used by the russian spec ops is based off of this knowledge of human anatomy)) however, chi, as a magical spiritual energy force that can be summoned rittualisticly, is a bunch of bullshit
well that depends on how u look at chi, martial-artist who punch through stone for example centre themselves (concentrate) this allows them to focus all their strength and technique into the punch. i personally feel chi is a mixture of mastering ones emotions, focus and technique. as for the stuff you see in movies or on dragon ball z, very unlikely.lol
I concur. You know, studying Japanese martial arts, we call chi, Ki, and when I'm generalizing it to someone else, I usually relate Ki to Ki-netic energy, just really REALLY focus kinetic energy. It serves my purposes. :)
leichina its true its better if you put chi into to it but think first. Monks train their whole life mastering how to put chi into their bodies! its not something you learn from reading a book. The excercises must be repeated again and again for years~!!
Its neither true nor proven. I was a boxer for 4 years and now ive trained JKD for 1,5 years. Keep your speculations to yourself until you got the experience to back it up.
Depends how good you are with your punches. I used to be into boxing but i realized the JKD punches were doing more damage. They have concepts behing the vertical punch as well.
When you say "the punches" do you mean all martial arts in general? or KungFu martial arts in general? I've study WingChun as well. Almost all centerline based, even the kicks. BUT if your countering or moving around an opponent's guard you would intuitively not be punching from the centerline. So that's not really an answer but..... I think WingChun can fall short in a lot of cases, especially this one. Like what about a hook punch, does that not work? No offense Isn't this the reason for MMA?
@psycedelic123 i ve been doing j.k.d. for 20 years and the western boxing style is the power attack before u learn lee's wing chun and master it .great start off learn boxing in power it will break wing chun attack by lye mans but know both u got j.k.d. .Then u just learn leg style best is kickboxing ,stopkicks ,attack defense repeat thats jeet kune do
The JKD ready position is also drawn different than how it should be preformed. Does that mean we should do that because it is in the TAO. No, You can't take drawing in the Tao as gold. And on Pg 74 under leading punch it says "slanting right" does that mean the hand is slanted? No it is the motions. See pg 89 2nd to last paragraph.And Pg 102 2nd paragraph. And Pg109 7th and 8th paragraph. How can you use a horizontal fist with your thumb up?????
This is a horizontal hook. It's motion is a downward one. He cannot draw in real time. So you have to adjust your center line to the desired target and angle of the strike. It may look like a "horizontal fist" but in actuality it is not. He has written numerous books on the vertical fist. What is your training in JKD?
When has bruce ever and i mean ever thrown a horizontal fist? If you can find me proof that he taught a horizontal fist i will be amazed. This is not JKD!
this woman has some realy powerful strikes for her size. a true testament to the effectivenes of jkd. excellent form. i think i'm in love, lol. i love to see women involved in physical fitness, especialy martial arts. its far more attractive than the media perpetuated sexist skinny bullshit that hollywood tries to tell us. keep up the good work.
this guy seems to be a legit instructor he teaches his way of jeet kune do wich is what bruce wanted his students to do so as it is passed down from sifu to sifu it changes all that matters is it's effectiveness not wheather or not it is like bruce's way in jkd everyone is different and thats what makes it great
You're right mastercombat. What some people seem to forget is that JKD is a rebellious "art". It's ever changing. So long as you carry the essential aspects of JKD with you, there should be no confusion.
I see way too many people out there gospelizing Bruce Lee. He said it himself that all martial arts started with a hypothesis but somewhere along the way it became gospel. I see this happening with the so called Original JKD people. The've taken a great idea and made a religion. It's sad.
i studied jkd when i was younger and it sounds to me that this guy is spot on. he may be a student of inosanto's, which is fine. he, like other students of bruce's, did what i believe bruce wanted jkd to evolve into. they made the style fit them. so naturally any of his students are going to diff. ways of how the art is taught and performed. jkd is about growth and the understanding of yourself.
i studied jkd when i was younger and from what i have seen in this video, the instructor is spot on. now, he probably was trained by inosanto or possibly even ted wong. but that really shouldn't matter. bruce's original students did exactly what he wanted. they progressed the style for themselves. they added more to thier knowledge of fighting. which is why jkd was always changing when bruce was alive. now my instructors sifu was a student of ted wong's, so i would think that my way would be....
do your research the fighting method books are put together in diffrent order mixing up diffrent areas of bruce's developement. bruce did not complete it actually he scratched the idea of releasing it since other martial arts schools startet to make money claiming they were doing his stuff which pissed him off.
You will not learn JKD from youtube. I respect what these guys are doing and it will be useful if you have some real training to back it up. Go learn and a form and then learn not to be constrained by it. Thats what Bruce and all his converts did any way.
You definitely won't learn it from Youtube, no, but it's a good resource to have in addition to real training in a class. I started JKD in July and I've consulted videos several times. It's not a replacement for training, but it can be helpful...
Just got "The Tao of Jeet Kun Do" by Bruce Lee, too. Helpful book..
The so called people on this page want every JKD instructor to look the same. They want to stylize JKD. "This is Western Boxing", this is wrong that is wrong. I guess everyone should look and act the same huh?
There technique for punching is what they teach in boxing, which is completely opposite to how jeet kune do is, its a shame to see people lying about what they teach.
By your comment and judgement on Jimi, I realize what kind of training you have. It is not wise to claim superior knowledge for it only makes you sound less intelligent.
But from all the techniques have seen through my books i have of JKD, none of his punching styles are what he is doing in this video. The books are the tao of jeet kune do by bruce lee, the only time he mentions about western boxing is when he is describing how his technique works against its style. also i have his Bruce lee fighting methods (Basic Training, Advanced Techniques, Skill in Techniques and his Self-Defence Techniques) All where written and are demenstrated by bruce lee
You're right, but it is mentioned that they were originally written in the late 60's. Bruce had time to adapt and learn, as JKD was and is consistently changing...
I am a second generation Bruce Lee student. I have trained with several of Bruce's top personal students. Most of you don't have a clue about what Bruce really taught. But, Jeetkunejimi sounds like he has a pretty good understanding. Have you trained before?
If your asking me have I trained before brandonjamesNWAW, I WAS CONTACT SPARRING FOR 7x 3MIN ROUNDS LAST NIGHT IN MY BACKYARD WITH ONE OF MY STUDENTS IAN.
Dude thanks for saying I have some knowledge on JKD which is more than most say about me on this tube just for speaking truth and rattling the cages of B.S. I have been training since 1978, in Jkd.
And like it is clear to see here this clip is not JKD. BRUCE PUNCHED EITHER WITH PIN CHOY OR CHUN CHUIE, and the drive out was eliptical i.e. he shortened the arc of the motion to add power and whip just like any sports person does where a bat or club, racket etc is in use no athelete hits and stops dead for power that would be ridiculous. JKD shortens the arc of motion period...And this clip does not demo that period.
That's awesome that you have been training since 1978 in JKD. I run a successful studio in Southern California. Nothing beats doing what you love and making money for it! And you are right on about the video clip. Just another fraud claiming to teach JKD. I'm so sick and tired of all these guys.
Thanks for you kind words dude, all I'm doing is calling out the Bruce Lee spongers who do nothing more than add to the confusion already layed out there by those who should know better but obviously don't or at least would rather put money before integrity. Hope your club goes well and you stick to the sound principles in JKD and not hypothetical concepts. God bless.
Of course one can learn how to kick doing Muay Thai, of course one can learn to punch doing Panantucan, etc, but the real question is, is it the most efficient way to kick and to punch????
Your arrogance and naievity flounder you on the rocks yet again struggling for air desperately flapping your tail waiting on the kiss of life from truth to come and rescue you, but it does not come because it's long gone and you never noticed it.
Your clutching at straws because you don't want to face the possibility that you've been conned, just as I was many moons ago. The difference and the measure of the man is that once 'truth' comes and shows itself to one can the one begin to accept it and have the courage and strenght to embrace the better way, which means monumental change, physically and mentally. Standing for something rather than hiding among everything.
By your comment and judgement on Jimi, I realize what kind of training you have. It is not wise to claim superior knowledge for it only makes you sound less intelligent.
This is also a new form of martial arts home training. Try to search for martial arm in any engine to find it! Hey everyone I tried one of them and it works great! Hey everyone I got it from their website,, just search goolge for martialarm! it seems like a XXL Kung Fu Practise Machine It will be good for jeet kune do and trapping hands
Actually the basis for full contact fighting did come from jkd or atleast the philosophical approach. See bruce had joe jewis who trained with bruce compete using jkd.
One of the biggest things to learn from Bruce's efforts is that if you truely love MA, you will look past the fighting and turn that into a physical output to express your inner being. Break away from the monotony and create something that works for you.
Agreed, JKDLIFER. Before you judge a book, look past its cover. Taken out of context and looked at, yes, it is not the best form, or the straight lead stance either...The thing you have to realize is that this is eh ehm...BASIC techniques. The thing about Bruce Lee's project is that he was the only one who could use it like he wanted.(And maybe even that didn't satisfy him) In a fight, I never use the rear leg for kicks. It's just too slow regardless of who you are. This is merely an adaptation
Jazzman1930, Huh? Professional fighters? This is not a sport. This is combat. If you want sport then go watch a UFC fight and talk to "professional fighters". Leave the real combat to the martial artists.
Your talking out of your ass, there are no JKD fighters in UFC, have you ever seen Chuck Liddel getting his eyes gauged out or B J Penn getting his calf bit off while trying to apply a lying crossbody armbar. Grow up.
UFC like all ring sports are predicated and confined by rules. So I reiterate for your consideration THERE IS NO JKD IN THE UFC OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE RING.
I understand why you might think what you did eddyfyork becasuse one or two guys like Vitor Belforte have succesfully use something like a straight blast across the ring to knock someone out, but if it were a real fight he would have also side kicked the opponets kneecap and then aimed the punches at the opponants throat. That's for not diving down my throat like so many do on the tube just because I call a spade a spade. God bless
to your statement about there is no jet kune do in the ufc. did you know jeet kune do is the father of mixed martial arts so jkd was the first form of mma. know in our time mma has evolved in to a more modern style
Did you get that explination from a Dan White cereal box promotion? Or from 30yrs of training?
There were actually hundreds of mixed martial arts before JKD. Jkd is not a MMA.Bruce lee is not the father of shoving watered down martial arts systems together in order to play sports.
MMA is good for fitness so is Jogging, MMA is good for if you compete in it dealing with the reality of a threatening fight or flight situation so is being a Copper or being in the army. There is a smidging in...
The UFC jerrale because JKD is anything that is effiecient having no better. But as for vertical punching, stop kicks to the knee caps, finger jabs to the eyes, punching at the throat, side palms to the carotid arteries, etc, then there really is very little JKD in any match fighting. Vitor Belforte has used the straight blast to good effect but there is little one can use in match fighting without the inevitable merge to kickboxing and where allowed some basicsubmission moves.
The competitors often the best in the world cannot finish one another with their sporting moves because they cannot hit real vital points and of course this is a good thing for safety reasons and yes as far as compotition goes UFC type matches are the closest thing to a real fight but they are not real fights.
Most submissions would dissolve into the blue with foul techniques allowed.
Like who the hell are you. Personally I'll admit to being a ammatuer, I know some theory but im still an ammatuer. You on the other hand FLAME people endlessly. Who the fuck are you, like seriously post some videos of you doing classes or teaching classes. For all we know you're some fat ass well worded freak, who got beaten up a lot as a kid and never truley learned any real martial arts. Could be said about me, but I'll admit to being a n00b at martial arts. You wont. Post some videos, or STFU
You got me figured out down to a tee, how astute of you. I'm off to get my well spoken fat ass kicked the fuckedeth out of by some guttersnipe now. Gooday to sir.
This is called Jun Fan Kickboxing. I know that it is not the vertical fist that everyone is used to but read the headline. "Basic Techniques"! One must begin to crawl before they can walk right? Did you think Sifu Dwight Woods would give away all his secrets for free?
Like what Sijo Bruce used to say "why should I teach someone else how to beat me"?
Some of these responses require a little more thought before posting.
the secret is he never fought and hasent been around profession fighters. hes teaching fighting from someone whom didnt fight. adding water to his watered down concept.
Sorry man, but youre inaccurate. Sifu Dwight is good friends and training partner with Erik Paulson, the only American Shooto champion and current Mixed martial artist. He is certified in Muay Thai by Ajarn "chai" Surachai Sirusute, head of the Thai Boxing association of America. He has fought, sparred, trained, and lived. He is certified by Guro Dan Inosanto and hee is an incredible conduit of Sijo Bruce's message. Sorry man, you just dont know.
Search: No pun intended but I've been practicing jeet kune do for 3 years now here in the philippines and your moves, although awesome is reminiscent of kick boxing and not jkd. Search: "turf78" or "jasonjkd", these are the videos of two of our instructors. Pls tell me what you think of their version of jkd.
people think that if you need to learn how to fight, (martial arts) then you are a pussy... not true, you are only a pussy if you dont know how to fight, you haven been taking classes, and still cant do anything...

woah dude, martial arts is very peacful, go check out some tai chi, and youve got to look at it from the fighters point of view. When they compete, they are testing themselves, in their mind, they are testing their own skills, its friendly competition. Just like swimming, if you want to swim you have to get wet, if you want to fight, your going to get punched. They all know this and reconcile with it. Just because other ppl tend to shred it w/ impluse and anger doesnt mean its not beautiful.

This is wrong..
JKD does incorporate some techniques of boxing
But it is also based on subsidy..
The weapon (hand) nearest to the opponent is what the JKD practitioner should strike with
But the strike must be straight..
And the wing chun part of JKD will follow up
(Wing chun punch)
gioell12345678909 2 years ago
Of course sir, but remember that you speak in the context of combat, not method of training. Of course a jkd man would choose to develop boxing skill and the ability to open with the rear as well as the lead. As a student of this school I may tell you that we, of course, place due emphasis on the lead vertical fist (wing chun punch).

Wing Chun's vertical fist is effective only when
1. The target is in straight line
2. The target isn't moving at all
3. The target isn't in the close range
Conclusion;
1. Boxing techniques are more effective in the real fight.
The later concept of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do was the prototype of modern day MMA!

i know jkd is the second most popular in mma, but muay thai seems to be the most popular...
come to think of it, i guess you could say that MMA is to Pankration what Muay Thai is to Boxing and Kick Boxing
belgianmobster17 2 years ago
Yeah Muay Thai is very effective in MMA because of it's devastating power and limb striking speed. Knee and elbows are so important in grappling and in the ring so it fits right in, and in self-defense too, though Muay Thai that most practice is meant for the ring (and very devastating).
scotttealey 2 years ago
muay thai seems more meant for the ring than selfdefense, though not to say it isn't used in combatives. mostly based on jiujitsu, the u.s. mordern army combatives program incorporates muay thai, and israeli krav maga is a mix of muai thai and akaido. unfortunately, muay thai seems to over domminate other forms in mma competions.
i'd really like to see a kajukempo practitioner in mma, that'd be really cool.
belgianmobster17 2 years ago
I agree, but I believe it's a product of what it takes to survive in the ring: Muay Thai doesn't just deal hard hits, they can take them, and so to a certain extent, requires an athletic body type to effectively use it (via competitors and "ideally" military personnel).
scotttealey 2 years ago
What are you talking about? The only difference between vertical and horisontal punching the the bone structure of the lower arm or shoulder. The vertical fist gives the optimal bonestructure for punching, thats why wc use it. While MMA just punch horistontal without knowing why.
I used to punch horisontal becouse thats what everybody else was doin, but over the years I noticed that my lower arms got sore and learned that it was becouse of incorrect bone structure. Now I use vertical fist...

Bruce Lee also emphasized western boxing in his Jeet Kune Do. Why do you think he did that? Because boxing is effective as far as hand techniques are concerned.

Fjedja 2 years ago
How is it proven? Why would Chinese martial arts punch the way they do after centuries of training if it wasn't the most effective? You need to learn about putting chi into your punches. Boxes just try to hit hard but that's not using real power. Keep studying.... you'll get it sooner or later.

So now you think that qi is a 'magical energy of life'. It is the basis of all chinese martial arts but you're a bit too young to understand all this.

Chi has actually been traced through the body by scientist. also when you here martial arts masters say sumin along the lines of "you must draw your energy from the ground" that is because 60-70% of punching power comes from the ground, if you analyze a punch or more specifically a good punch it will often start from the ground. legs-hips-fist.
raduz123 2 years ago
what you are saying about the punching is true. as for chi, i do beleive that some of these martial-artists stumbled onto sports medicine without realizing it (ie pressure points, joint suposition (systema, used by the russian spec ops is based off of this knowledge of human anatomy)) however, chi, as a magical spiritual energy force that can be summoned rittualisticly, is a bunch of bullshit
belgianmobster17 2 years ago
well that depends on how u look at chi, martial-artist who punch through stone for example centre themselves (concentrate) this allows them to focus all their strength and technique into the punch. i personally feel chi is a mixture of mastering ones emotions, focus and technique. as for the stuff you see in movies or on dragon ball z, very unlikely.lol
raduz123 2 years ago
i know, that's what im saying. but i like to distance the actual proven points of chi from from the word because of the obvious connotations it has
belgianmobster17 2 years ago
I concur. You know, studying Japanese martial arts, we call chi, Ki, and when I'm generalizing it to someone else, I usually relate Ki to Ki-netic energy, just really REALLY focus kinetic energy. It serves my purposes. :)
scotttealey 2 years ago
leichina its true its better if you put chi into to it but think first. Monks train their whole life mastering how to put chi into their bodies! its not something you learn from reading a book. The excercises must be repeated again and again for years~!!

Hey guys. i was just wondering. A lot of kung fu martial arts focus on centerline. Are the punches normally towards centerline? (btw i do wing chun)
ilyasshezad 3 years ago
When you say "the punches" do you mean all martial arts in general? or KungFu martial arts in general? I've study WingChun as well. Almost all centerline based, even the kicks. BUT if your countering or moving around an opponent's guard you would intuitively not be punching from the centerline. So that's not really an answer but..... I think WingChun can fall short in a lot of cases, especially this one. Like what about a hook punch, does that not work? No offense Isn't this the reason for MMA?

The JKD ready position is also drawn different than how it should be preformed. Does that mean we should do that because it is in the TAO. No, You can't take drawing in the Tao as gold. And on Pg 74 under leading punch it says "slanting right" does that mean the hand is slanted? No it is the motions. See pg 89 2nd to last paragraph.And Pg 102 2nd paragraph. And Pg109 7th and 8th paragraph. How can you use a horizontal fist with your thumb up?????
BillyBobE5 3 years ago
This is a horizontal hook. It's motion is a downward one. He cannot draw in real time. So you have to adjust your center line to the desired target and angle of the strike. It may look like a "horizontal fist" but in actuality it is not. He has written numerous books on the vertical fist. What is your training in JKD?
BillyBobE5 3 years ago
Those only describe the motion of the punch. The fist stays vertical according to body angle. So no he never did that.

Well the picture on pg. 107 of the "Horizontal Hook" sure disagrees with your interpretation.

You're right mastercombat. What some people seem to forget is that JKD is a rebellious "art". It's ever changing. So long as you carry the essential aspects of JKD with you, there should be no confusion.
I see way too many people out there gospelizing Bruce Lee. He said it himself that all martial arts started with a hypothesis but somewhere along the way it became gospel. I see this happening with the so called Original JKD people. The've taken a great idea and made a religion. It's sad.

And like it is clear to see here this clip is not JKD. BRUCE PUNCHED EITHER WITH PIN CHOY OR CHUN CHUIE, and the drive out was eliptical i.e. he shortened the arc of the motion to add power and whip just like any sports person does where a bat or club, racket etc is in use no athelete hits and stops dead for power that would be ridiculous. JKD shortens the arc of motion period...And this clip does not demo that period.

Agreed, JKDLIFER. Before you judge a book, look past its cover. Taken out of context and looked at, yes, it is not the best form, or the straight lead stance either...The thing you have to realize is that this is eh ehm...BASIC techniques. The thing about Bruce Lee's project is that he was the only one who could use it like he wanted.(And maybe even that didn't satisfy him) In a fight, I never use the rear leg for kicks. It's just too slow regardless of who you are. This is merely an adaptation

The UFC jerrale because JKD is anything that is effiecient having no better. But as for vertical punching, stop kicks to the knee caps, finger jabs to the eyes, punching at the throat, side palms to the carotid arteries, etc, then there really is very little JKD in any match fighting. Vitor Belforte has used the straight blast to good effect but there is little one can use in match fighting without the inevitable merge to kickboxing and where allowed some basicsubmission moves.
jeetkunejimi 3 years ago
The competitors often the best in the world cannot finish one another with their sporting moves because they cannot hit real vital points and of course this is a good thing for safety reasons and yes as far as compotition goes UFC type matches are the closest thing to a real fight but they are not real fights.
