Best Boxing Drill in Jeet Kune Do

[@ives3572]

"All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected. Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment - that which they cannot anticipate." - Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Sweet boxing drill it reminds me when I use to hit the pads at the boxing gym when I was younger, I like the fact that MR BALICKI was putting pressure on you in the drill but at the same time, moving the pad side to side & upwards to force you to "adjust" on the move, also he hinted on your fast twitch muscle fibers, also his "emphasis" on being unpredictable❗ excellent "gems" you have passed to us in this video, thanks for sharing big like on the video 🙏🏻

Thank you for watching!!

[@shadowfighter6445]

I think I remember learning about this in JKD. Man I miss the training. Thank you for sharing ☺️.

[@metrolinamartialarts]

🙏🙏🙏

[@PeterSchmuttermaier]

Yay! We trained this drill a lot in our small club in Germany back when I was 17. Our instructors had been trained by a student of Sifu Dan. Great drill!

[@OutlandX15]

Snap and return. Distract low hit high, distract high hit or kick low.

[@mozolejos]

I liked the last lesson. Bren Foster and Ron Balicki are both such fantastic individuals to learn from.

[@metrolinamartialarts]

💯

[@martialartsunlimited01]

That's a good drill. Glad you shared, I realized about a year ago I was the glove touch guy before I attacked.

[@CombatSelfDefense]

I like that finger jab modification

[@joennejordbaer]

Many good points for trainers to focus on. Nice! Thx

[@martialartsauthorreacts5495]

What I would like to see with this drill is the straight lead, using combinations, having the focus mitt holder to engage more by making the attacker to defend more just all out hand-eye coordination drills. Both of them should use head movement as if they were sparring but trying to hit the target instead. Obviously not trying to hit each other like sparring but, use the same drill to make it more advance once that student is getting hang of the jab drill, add more to it. Overall awesome drill!

[@metrolinamartialarts]

It can evolve to that over time, initially this is a good start!

[@martialartsauthorreacts5495]

Exactly, I can see this drill improve boxers or any striking art in getting better in striking a moving target instead of the same old one, two drill for example which isn’t a bad drill. This can add and mixed things up using the focus mitt.

[@OutlandX15]

Eye jab or flick is a great distraction.

[@Bevallalom]

Excellent drill!

[@DatSuKid]

How long should we do this drill before we get diminishing returns? Three sets of ten punch attempts? Asking since often I get fatigued with drills and know I might be training bad habits. Trivia: My JKD instructor does this drill! Now I know he got it from Yori/Balicki/Inosanto.

[@metrolinamartialarts]

I normally have them do it for one 2-min round a class.

[@robburns9616]

Very much love watching 2 masters training... I think seeing you hand fighting your sensei or someone on our above your level would be the best....I just found your channel 2 weeks ago and I'm so glad I did... Great work

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Thank you so much!!!

[@aegisprotection4969]

One of my teachers showed me this drill I love it and have learned a lot from this over the years.

[@metrolinamartialarts]

That's awesome! I'm glad it's not just our group.

[@aegisprotection4969]

Re: Finger jab. I think Sifu Ron's explanation was great. And it's a good way to practice My personal preference, which is harder to safely practice at speed, is eye jab to Alien Facehugger. That's just a personal preference that also happens to throw off a lot of grapplers and Mongo Smash types. It doesn't end things but it tends to get them to pause while they adjust. Again, it's a personal preference. For safe practice, I use a Nerf football or small basketball instead of a focus pad. Jab and grab practice.

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Makes sense!

[@backwoodskarate9300]

If ya want a good non telegraphic punch you should watch red chucks channel.

[@Mrbradthornton]

Bad ass!! Top notch training!

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Thank you!!! Hope all is well.

[@OutlandX15]

Pretty sure that Bruce would always through a fake first. Distraction and then hit or kick.

[@sluggensluggen5075]

When Icy Mike gets Ron Balicki or Erik Paulson onboard. I might take him serious! 🤣

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Oh lol

[@OutlandX15]

Most real fights will go to the ground in the first 5 seconds. Punching with gloves on takes away grabbing and eye jabs.

[@wyattthacker3679]

Make anything a feint.

[@Larsbor]

How do you avoid over-extencion of the arm/ albow?

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Find your distance normally with the Jab and practice shadow boxing. Then do this drill

[@diablormma]

Ted Wong taught this drill too

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Nice!!

[@michaelamarcellus4973]

Learning and understanding "Line Familiarization" sometimes called reading, along with "good" form and the elimination of bad telegraphic habits adds to one's collective expeditiously. The only certainty in life is uncertainty. We train with this concept. Key Word - Time.

[@Alckemy]

There's a lot missing from this drill from moving around non telegraphic is the initial movement and the best way to develop awareness is trying to hit a target from being completely still. you have zero advantage and you are trying to generate success from 0 momentum. When you're still, you can detect those weird tells a lot easier where moving around you start to focus on just hitting the mitt. Once you cultivate coming from stillness, then you can add movement. otherwise you're just playing don't hit the mitt and you're not really teaching yourself much. no disrespect intended, please give it a try. You'd be surprised at the difference of cultivation

[@metrolinamartialarts]

I actually think that's an inverse of the drill and entirely different skill

[@Alckemy]

@@metrolinamartialarts you’re trying to cultivate a non telegraphic hit. This is the foundation; starting from being completely still. Then it scales to moving with aliveness. It is the same thing, just broken down to a more nuanced aspect. I’m from the Jerry Poteet lineage (not the jpjkd association)

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Again I think it's a different skill. To hit with this drill while moving, makes it great to land during a combat sports match. To hit while not moving at all does not transfer there as combat is already in motion. It does, however, transfer to self-defense and striking first (no mercy) if in a potential violent encounter. That's why I say they're 2 different skills/drills.

[@Alckemy]

@@metrolinamartialarts2 things, 1. hitting is hitting. When you do a drill sometimes it doesn’t directly translate to the application. An example would be a basketball player that dribbles two basket balls. They’ll never do that in a real game but what are they cultivating from it? Coordination to handle a single ball better. Second is I’m giving the foundation. You start from stillness to develop self awareness. Then the holder gives slight tells by wiggling the mitt and the puncher reacts to try to intercept the mitt. The holder pulls away. After that foundation is established, you can scale it to adding movement to try to apply it with distance and timing. A non telegraphic hit is only non telegraphic on the first initial movement. Then it becomes about building efficiency to strike to the nearest target with your longest available weapon. I know you think they’re different, but I hope you can look at the movement itself and what is your you’re cultivating rather than separating how you hit in a street fight vs a sporting match:) the scenarios are different but learning to fight against a skilled opponent still has many commonalities. TLDR coming from stillness is a more basic but effective way to refine this skill, then it scales into movement. Like riding with training wheels. Have a great day^^

@@Alckemy I think we're talking past each other.
