Distance Fighting - Kick Entry (basic drill)

[simonmafy]

I wanna point out that the swinging gate only works against elaborate blockers. People that chase the hand with their blocks or use alot of energy to deflect. If you get a fighter that prefers to cover up like a boxer, the swinging gate will not work.

[elchacal31]

@simonmafy But in that case you can just attack low with kicks, but yeah you're right it wouldn't work agaisnt Boxing type, wether he likes to cover or dodge

[simonmafy]

@elchacal31 The swinging gate was highly effective against 60's karate. I don't know about today's fighters...it's a little outdated. But regardless if its outdated or not, I would never use swinging gate as a tool. Its too slow. Just like in the video, I would use progressive indirect attack instead...faking is so much better. You don't need a reference point, you don't supply a reference point, you don't need to complete the first move, and you still move the obstacle out of the way.

[YiLuXiangBang]

is this the surfing footwork or the football stance 0.0?

[YiLuXiangBang]

wad abt the oldman-method 0.0.. dis isnt wing chun anymore rite?

[RedOnChrome]

Jesus, those gloves are bigger then her! lol

[elchacal31]

i would love to see more jkd videos from you Jin =)

[grendelhvs]

nevermind last comment, posted before watched all the way through

[aznbryanc]

Don't forget to keep your lead hand up during your kick, just in case you miss!

[TheTaoofJKD]

Gotta love progressive indirect attack. This it is my personal preference to not step in when throw my kicks and to remain in proper range at all times. But my JKD resembles more of a Savateurs style which contains no pendulum kicks and distance is kept at all times. All the same feints are none the less just as useful.

[koalalumpar]

are you a sifu?

if so, where?

[magicdude21]

i see you bruh

[7thLunaDancer]

when you push your opponent, do you use your frame to push, upper body to push, or legs to push him/her??

[mosdef2000]

Hey Jin, For the street you just attack the lead knee and close the gap? Thus allowing you to focus on going forward like the style is design to do?

[Aarnid]

Very good ! Except for the sound wich is not synchro.

[aedimus]

A genuine explanation of applications and movement--something I find lacking in a lot of martial arts demonstrations/explanations. This is certainly a breath of fresh air to me. Thank you kindly!

[Lewenos]

Really good stuff! :) Most of it I already know but every time I watch your videos I find some new pointers to think about.. I've been training TKD, Shaolin, Sanshou, BJJ/SMW, MMA, Wing Chun with instruction and JKD "tactics" by my self.. There is no JKD schools in Finland at all.. So been thinking about "training trip" to US for a while now..

Btw, it's a huge suprise in MMA ring/cage when you do some JKD/WC stuff.. Like blocking kicks with counter kicks..

Thanks sifu..

[DownWithThePlague]

Damn, your kicks are freaking fast!

[sild123]

also i want to point out that the feint also give momentum for the kick, feels like there is something to grip/pull after the feint is done. and also dont feint too far for the beginners. great video as always jin sifu!

[chinaboxer]

@sild123 good point about the feint, take care and peace!

[shootingmen]

thanks!

[shootingmen]

when shadowboxing , do i imagine that i am fighting an opponent or something?

[chinaboxer]

@shootingmen yeah, try and make it "active" for the mind, that's why in front of a mirror is good.

[shootingmen]

isit possible to like practise on the air?

[chinaboxer]

@shootingmen "shadowboxing" in front of a mirror if you can, is also a great way to train as well as warm up.

[wingchun2k10]

You rule Jin! Thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge with those of us who seek it. Keep up the great work.

[chinaboxer]

@wingchun2k10 thanks for that, glad that all the work is appreciated!

[chinaboxer]

@tsi2568 thats great! that's what the tutorial is all about!

[shootingmen]

hey, how can i train my senstivity without using chi shao?Thats because i have no one to practise chi shao with.

[chinaboxer]

@shootingmen if you don't have a partner, then the best alternative is a wooden dummy, which you can make yourself if you can't afford one. good luck!

[kjax2008]

it would be interesting to see you do some drills on the bag see how you work it Jun.

[chinaboxer]

@kjax2008 that's a good suggestion, i'll try and keep that in mind for future videos, peace!

[deanpool]

love it! thx

[chinaboxer]

@deanpool glad you enjoyed it, peace!

[dmusovic1]

Thanks so much for this video Jin. I'm getting more into UFC as time progresses and it's great to see how Wing Chun can intertwine with it all. Think I'll stick to Wing Chun for a while before I mix it all up though =)

[chinaboxer]

@dmusovic1 keep it up, we need more Chinese Boxers in the cage!

[Susanoo58]

Great video!

[chinaboxer]

@Susanoo58 thanks, take care and peace!

[kaindrg]

Remebered seeing a ted wong vin on this

[chinaboxer]

@kaindrg Ted Wong is still amazingly fast at his age, he's an inspiration to me and many others!

[DistantSoul13]

Very practical.

[chinaboxer]

@DistantSoul13 thank you!

[TheSenseofTouch]

good vid

[chinaboxer]

@TheSenseofTouch glad you enjoyed it, bro!

[ShinSuperSaiyajin]

Nice video. I've been wanting to do lap sao in sparring (and I came close in doing that) and this is a good drill on how to create distance in close range using lap sao (I've seen the swinging gate drill but this one, I think, is better because the drill is quite realistic). BTW, you're very fast with the bag :D

[chinaboxer]

@ShinSuperSaiyajin thanks for the words of encouragement, peace!

[uberbigbread]

good detailed video usual.

[chinaboxer]

@uberbigbread thanks bro!
