I went to that school in April 2010 for a free month, and I learned 4 to 6 techniques. I also know Shifu's real name, Roger, and he's a good teacher! I learned these techniques... Clawing Panther, Five Daggers, and that's all the names I remember, but they worked! I like doing flips, Shifu tried to teach me, but I was too scared :( Back Flip by the way.
Hi slaqor nice to meet you and thank you for commenting. I've been asked about that a few times now. The comment is still present just not visible, not sure why. You can however view it on the tomharveytraining blog as the comments here are auto updated there.
How has your training been going? Mike is a pretty amazing instructor.
I tried to see jkdpolice's comments, but they are invisible to me. He's a troll on lots of TWJKD videos.. A few of us are curious who is hiding behind their keyboard.
Harvey: Thanks for posting this. Sifu Mike and myself have been training now for just over a year and it's great to see things from the outside, instead of coming at you.
Did jkdpolice retract his/her comment? Or did the replies make yet another internet troll fade back away into the shadows of the fiber optic world we live in now?
I should make a correction on "hip and hand (hook-punch) hand then hip" it should have stated hip and hand, hip then hand in the case of a hook-punch.
Again thank you for your comment. Any insight that helps the art and myself grow is appreciated. If I misinterpreted your meaning on ball and chain please let me know.
Although I can't claim to have mastered footwork. Once it has been developed to a level of proficiency it does become alive and not stuck in the push-step (full beat) movements. Once this aliveness is achieved that is where the student can use varying methods of using a techniques without being limited. Such as hand before foot, hand with foot, hip and hand (hook-punch) hand then hip; based on the situation.
It is however a very small difference in timing. And learning to do this without compromising your center of gravity triangle is also a challenge. Using body weight momentum to aid your footwork and techniques takes time and so does half beat. This has a lot to do with maintaining neutral spinal alignment and not rolling on the outside edge of the lead foot and instead landing on the inside edge. All things that only come through practice.
From a physics stand point hand and foot landing at the same time disperses energy and decreases your power on target. Granted the timing between the hand hitting and the foot landing is extremely small and not noticeable by the everyday person. The beat count of hand and footwork is a 1-2-3.
Sliding of the feet I don't believe to be correct as this creates friction and slows you down. Hitting then moving your feet takes you away from the core teaching of JKD as I have been taught.
As for the reference to ball and chain. Do you mean hand and foot at the same time? Although I don't disagree with you on this completely. There are times I use this. This was explained to me as being the second best method by Ted. He may have changed his position but I haven't heard that.
jkdpolice thank you for commenting. He was teaching to a group that many had no exposure to JKD. So in a case like that it's best to stick to the basics.First teach the technically correct way then teach the applications and/or modifications.
This video is a good view of the straight lead punch and it is being taught as it should be. Having read the book on the straight lead by Teri Tom and having watched Ted Wong demonstrate this punch on several occasions, I would hope that the jkdpolice was one of Bruce Lees private students. If so, please put a clip on here about what Bruce Lee taught you.
This is a great video showing the basics considering everyone at the seminar had no JKD training. I learned a lot from this seminar and being able to spend the weekend learning from Mike. I look forward to training and increasing my knowledge in JKD.

Thank you for the clip. Mike looks like he knows his material. Is he one of Ted Wong's instructors?
