[@prashantsaraswat1209]

Dan do we just have to do that one drill only fr practice?plz do a video on how to make this work in a street fight where ur enemy is throwing consecutive horizontal punches at u nd also on how to use it against a boxer who throws jab,hook,cross nd uppercuts at u.

[@batmanwholaughs555]

this is really helpful me how to know better technique block their opponent attack

[@jorgegaytan3012]

Great video.from.start to finish

[@ronnieyawn8190]

Mr lok I like your demonstration I'm ready to come learn

[@jonnyparsons3237]

I remember Bruce saying (and it sticks with me in my very soul) that every action you do, whether it's a deflect or an attack, will be an attack. NO movement of yours should be wasted. You attack, you attack - you deflect, you attack. It's all one fluid motion. Like water. "Be like water, my friend"

[@luisramos1798]

Wow Amazing !!

[@clydemathers3rd]

Watch the the video, it's saying the same thing Jonny remembers Bruce Lee saying.

[@FarmersAreDummies]

Yup.

[@Geekman333]

Love this. Wing Chun student of eleven years. I've been taught and train ALL of this. But then we all know, Wing Chun doesn't work. Apparently. 🤣

[@kl6048]

Wow! That trainer had some seriously fast and accurate hands! Be like water my friends! 💧

[@ariari4133]

Water is as soft as air=steam.and hard as concreet ice

[@snoops9214]

I like your Spike Spiegel profile pic bro

[@alexandrucatalindragan6842]

I promise you it was only because they went slow... that guy would not last against any mixed martial artist

[@eddiedoyle3607]

Thank you dan for keeping Bruce’s art alive , I happen to know that early on he was teaching spring energy drills , he said they were chi sow drills , but very different than wing chun , and later when he did develop jeet kune do , Bruce claimed he did away with them , stating that they were not as important as originally thought , but if you watch him you will see that he wasn’t being truthful , he did not want to teach it to anyone , because it was like a secret weapon for him , if you had a secret weapon would you want to teach it to others no because they could use it against you , and I am convinced this was the case , Bruce didn’t leave us a complete guide , we have to intrperate many things , I love Bruce , he was my idol , but I never tried to practice jkd , I learned combat fighting , completely different from jkd , but has worked for me every time , and didn’t require nearly as much time as jkd to master , so let me ask you if I stick to Bruce’s philosophy , but no matter what system I arrive at , as long as it works for me , that would still be jkd wouldn’t it. Thank you

[@josephbedwell3164]

Bruce Lee's goal was to light the fire by giving you the basics. After that, it was your job to develop a style that worked for you. His goal was to meet somebody that could actually beat him in a fair fight. Though he made it close to impossible, he still had that hope that there was somebody better than him.

[@Wowvod]

@@josephbedwell3164 yes cause if we’re being real nobody is gonna be like Bruce, but we can try so why not have your own style of fighting incorporating from other arts that blends well with your body type, find what works for you.💯

[@oliverbruce1702]

Only if you are using no way as way, which you are not.

[@seanliles5103]

Using these skills to protect somebody is always good thing

[@user-mo1sc4eh7g]

I am practicing this already and used it in 2 my boxing fights and both of them ended in less then 10 secs!! Really awesome!!

[@DanLok]

Well done.

[@wowie7610]

Really?! I do boxing too

[@emnegrido75]

does it really work?

[@keyboardwarrior9258]

Please show us a video. I have heard stories of Wing Chun overcoming Boxing, bot never seen any footage. Besides, how would you do all this with big, bulky boxing gloves?

[@emnegrido75]

Keyboard Warrior no thats impossible. watch wing chun vs mma

[@bronzetiger6360]

That hit/block is the actuality of Intercepting. Beautiful in its simplicity AND its advancement.

[@cloudybrains]

Jeet Kune Do is kinda like fencing but with fists.

[@aimanjaafar5578]

Because JKD movement is took from fencing arts. Alot of arts can be found in JKD, They just be blended together.

[@roksoulja84]

I think its a mixture of fencing, savate, kali, karate, wing chun, boxing, muay thai, and some movements from judo and american wrestling for submissions

[@davisbarr9112]

Wing Chun and jkd both borrowed from sword arts ... So absolutely true. Can't agree more. A lot of those motions work better with swords. People say use silat or kali whatever else ... I think wing Chun and jkd are both better for blades. And both have a root in Shaolin at the start just to be fair. When you have swords edge blocks and "intercepting fist" with weapon are ridiculously successful. Combine it with defang ... You have a great successful style that gets little attention these days. I prefer it. You? Examples: curved weapon strike, intercepting straight strike. Straight weapon strike, straight intercepting hand defang. Straight or curved weapon strike, edge block blocking strike ... Be water / pressure grappling weapon strike. So it is arguably great to learn more. But you could beat a lot of opponents with Wing Chun jkd and if you had Shaolin with blades I'm not sure why you'd need Kali kali is good too it's great to practice I like it and practice s couple drills they are very similar. But why not prefer this stuff! Really! Jkd is with fists. I forgot that point. Well ... Anyway. None of the rest of Kung Fu lacks the inclusion of you yourself being armed ... Right? We just got attached to forms and stopped the practical use. If you look for it the practical applications are there. Don't get too distracted though by self defense and relying on your body ... Your mind spirit and God are still much much more important. But it's more comfortable I think to use these forms if weapons are there. I mean I totally think so. Everything is preference but it's very comfortable to use these types of forms even more than Kali and kendo I think.

[@62202ify]

I think he did fence.

[@Prajwal____]

U guys missed the whole point and purpose of jeet kune do

[@maxp6902]

[@bigpapaboomboom9735]

Plenty of Dragons alive and well.

[@graciemiller9596]

I’m so glad you have explained this technique it was one of my favorites for years. A lot of martial artist never use this. Thank you Nick

[@johnnytrejo911]

As a wrestler in Lucha Libre. Since we are in a pandemic. I miss training in combativeness. Since I’m familiar with the Jun Fan kickboxing when I was a kid. I’m going to start getting back into JKD again. And this is a great start especially with Octavio Quintero. His insight and directness and instruction is awesome, the punches in this video even deflecting the punch with a punch it’s like you’re intercepting the attack with the punch. I thank you two for this video and many more. So I can relearn what I’ve known and open my mind up what I need to at home in my training til it’s time to find someone to train me again in What our founder (Bruce Lee) gave us

[@wolflike24124]

Observing how Bruce Lee developed his own concept on self defense and a demonstration like this perfectly shows how affective and realistic it is. So if haters think Bruce Lee wasn't a real fighter because there's no footage of him really are just imbeciles and have no common sense.

[@ethanmanjhi4007]

Kali escrima is also based on same principle...and also kobujutsu...which were way earlier than jkd

[@kangruckus5939]

At 4:58 he has the same posture as Bruce lee on the back of Dons shirt

[@ezelio]

Lmao what a coincidence

[@pestipetobeatz023]

Dan my man. This is great thing that you do. Im watching every dan and waiting for new video. Your aprouch is very coaching; and you go to the detals with every movment or techq. Keep doing good work and all the best! Peace

[@DanLok]

Welcome.

[@lowtierisbymitchmitch79]

I use Benny Urquidez blocking techniques and they work very well.

[@unlockinginfinity6480]

didn't expect such amazing martial arts coverage on your business channel! but this is the truth. very well explained and I like how you continued to bring up things that most people make mistakes with. appreciate it man keep it up.

[@JoanieKennedy]

Best break down of this I have seen or heard of

[@danielpletcher3074]

I like this a lot after studying Aikido for 9 years I'm finally starting to understand how angles work I also studied Wing Chun for a little bit I see the difference between j k d and Wing Chun my first art was Taekwondo and I've done that for 10 years under very respected masters from Korea I totally see the validity to what you're saying and my Taekwondo teacher says all the time don't block and people who dont understand Aikido ,think that the Blends are blocks but they're not blocks their blends in other words you're keeping your space in your own time which breaks their balance by bending your knees and timing it with your Center I get really frustrated when people tell me that they only do one art because to understand the concepts is to understand all the Arts and even though you don't understand all the martial arts literally you can understand the concepts and how it was all put together and when those Concepts make sense then sparring makes sense however you choose to do it☺

[@innocentmichael2180]

I love these instructions...Although i haven't been engaged in a real street fight but a million thanks...

[@jowelmarquez2107]

Wow! It's a good thing that people like me who has no training in martial arts get to see great tips like this. I was watching bruce lee's movies and I saw this video on my recommended feed. I checked on it and it's worth my time. Thanks.

[@rileybagnall2250]

Currently I cannot afford to go and be taught a martial arts so i am currently just researching and trying to teach my self, my favorite martial arts for so long was wing Chung, but I'm starting to like jkd more, thanks for the videos they are really helpful

[@serenityinside1]

Good move ! 👍

[@jaynotsure670]

This is awesome. Please keep making more in depth videos. Once I start watching I can't stop. Bruce would be proud😇

[@MrLouladakis]

great vd thank you. i liked especially the way you explain without antagonizing the other martial arts.

[@DanLok]

👍

[@sspmetal]

What's better than a video of the great Dan Lok? A video by Dan Lok + Jeet Kune Do! you are the best

[@meshal.666]

Thank you so much you helped me in jkd there's no blocking but finding the right moment to strike 👋👍

[@FrancisMaxino]

Bruce talks about parrying rather than 'block' and the riposte should occur simultaneously.

[@chazgurrero3090]

Some the flow is coming back. Thanks much.

[@arturmazzegamenegucci1053]

I just listen this phrase everytime in Bruce´s voice. Goosebumps.

[@emmanuelcandelaria6990]

Dan love the video PLEASE come up a online video teaching course. We love to learn!!! My dad was a martial artist and I want to learn Bruce Lee is one of my heroes.

[@ateogamin3719]

Amazing video sir,the great legend Bruce Lee has given such a good art for a real self defence situations.And you are continuing the work.great from you sir.

[@DouglasSilva-cg3hi]

Excelent video, like all others from your playlists, Dan! I think you have produced one of must detailed and richfull learning video material about JKD that I found on the Internet. Congrats, you're doing a great Job! I also loved the Brazilian flag on this movie!!

[@yeshuasapostle7648]

Dan this video was so informative, and beyond helpful. Thank you! May God bless you, your financial success, and absolutely your art! Thank you brother! Namaste.

[@rodrigorazo7068]

Dan Lok! Since day one!!! I really enjoy all of your videos! Its a great honor to continue expressing JKD! Master Bruce Lee is proud of you spiritually! God bless! "Walk On!

[@uncle_martin1131]

Two of the most interesting things in one channel. LOVE IT

[@vernharris2708]

Love it super efficient way of self-defense stopping and attacking at the same time💪😎💡💡

[@302POPEYE]

Matthew Broderick's twin brother is one hell of a JKD instructor. Nice video as always fellers

[@BrandonJagger]

I really love watching and doing what you do while this quarantine is going on...I really want to improve my body and agility and become a better person....learning wing chun can do so much and I have so much respect for the art and I really push myself when I watch any of the wing chun training videos...I think I can learn so much from the art or Wing Chun and I really want to learn and admire the art!!! I’m so sore from the past 4 days of learning wing chun....my body is adapting to the unusual stance and foot work but like I said I love it...I have Lupus and my body doesn’t like all this movement but I may have lupus but lupus doesn’t have me💪🏽 much respect 💯❤️

[@saucyblood7957]

Same cuh, this is Jeet Kun Do not Wong chun

[@serenityinside1]

Indeed . Dude not the sharpest chisel !

[@BrandonJagger]

@@saucyblood7957 I know that but the roots came from wing chun…and a lot of the moves resemble it I know technically it’s not JUST wing chun

[@oliverbruce1702]

Thankyou so much. This is amazing stuff. Im going to study it further with a good teacher. I really needed to see this

[@enricopietrac.5968]

Much respect from Italy.I Wish to meet you Dan!

[@chavalperezperez3738]

thanks Dan we are grateful by your videos of JKD like 👍

[@jeyendranbalaji4248]

Bruce Lee's jkd techniques is very superb and very effective.

[@ralphfourquet4324]

First I would like to thank SIFU Lok for taking the time to show us these maneuvers. To Amrican Man these are just techniques for training the body to move in a certain way. Each fighter is going to be different and throw punches at different speeds and angles. I would rather fight a street fighter who throws wild looping arm punches any day. The whole system of JKD is to be on the attack in my opinion. The lead hand is forward so it can attack faster in less distance.

[@markhesbrook8839]

Love the video Dan, I have been blocking and punching or deflecting and punching in my tae Kwon do training, but never thought of blocking as an actual strike, thank you very much.

[@christinamarie7354]

Dan, I recently found your videos and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching them, one by one!! I have many more to go and I'm just being a sponge, soaking in that water! I love learning new things and applying what I learn and always growing! Thank you Dan ♡

[@PL22-JudgeDredd]

Its been ages since i practise martial arts but i gotta say, you guys are really good.

[@shujiling213]

Awesome thank you

[@alihamdan1058]

awesome technique and very helpful, hoping you could do a video about nutrition and what Bruce Lee ate. Thanks a lot

[@thepolishedsquirrel4729]

If possible, can we see a view from above to better understand the centerline of the body? I saw an image in my mind of you two while you went through the moves. I have done some videography before in a former life, and I think adding the view from above would/could be visually effective.

[@Supermalagu]

Hello. I just discover you. I like the way you're explaining the techniques. I think you're a good teacher. I practiced different martial arts too. And I completely agree. I'm instructor in combat russe. I explain too how to fight in street fight what people have to be careful with thugs here. I experienced that many times. As woman life isn't safe at all on Paris. So I explain how to react on the street or in the elevator. Like that they have tools whatever where they are. I love pressure point because if the opponent is much more stronger than me there's no pb to knock out.

[@twoezy-vegito5363]

Thanks for the amazing content, it's hard to come around good quality training videos that are free

[@MartyMoose1611]

Thank you both for the video. I liked it; but didn't think it would work well in our "MMA" world at first; but now I think I'm "getting it."

[@yangnatamarga8224]

Good explanation. Imho, dont forget the body routing power. Means the power is from your waist or foot. I got this when i train taiji from my shifu.

[@rogee3742]

Liking the videos guys, watching multiple times and trying it out

[@grandmasweetleafscookies6752]

Excellent demonstration. Thank you

As a former combat veteran interceptions of gathering intelligence and neutralizing enemy forces and winning foreign n conventional conflicts BL JKD IS SMART AND WISE

[@mental3526]

Simple and efficient!😍

[@patheq]

Superb sir.i will quit the old technique and going to adopt your .because its blocking and same time hitting.soooooooo.... good.👍

[@El.Nergo4-goto]

Thank it was a pretty good philosophy. I like how you plaque in here at the same time except he should teach more from a traditional fighting style from a boxers person. Perspective where they would throw the Ponton slightly a different way. Let me know if you understand what I’m saying, but there’s a lot I can’t wait to start practicing.

[@walbertiusmorerius1245]

Octavio and Dan, thanks!!

[@peter6553-g5m]

That's a great tip I should adapt that to my fighting style. In karate we block and counter a lot but one motion like in jkd is more direct.

[@pustomkumar8165]

Block n hit together is best.thanks us teaching n researching n practising.martail arts.for good people.

[@bradploof9796]

Awesome guys , wish u had classes around here

[@christiandion8016]

Loving the vids. Please keep up the great work. I follow most of them. Almost ready too start with full aggression. Thank you to you all.

[@bkdexter79]

I subscribed and will watch for more vids. Very genuine and informational. Thank you!

[@BretCoreysFilms]

some times say if they go one hand low... You have I defended hand but can still get in with the high block hand when you deflect their arm out then go for the head eyes throat neck elbow chest. Takes being fast almost knowing already where you are going but that's okay because you know you are doing the control to know you will have that opening to go where you want with attacking.

[@i-evi-l]

My take on this is that it focused on the same concepts found in Wing Chun. Like overly much. I seen this with Inosanto as well with the straight stance and pseudo Chi Sao which means it will generally fail just like all other drills that teach this kind nonsense because of focus on slap deflection. When you watch Bruce Lee's 1967 Long Beach spar footage, he does 2 things: South Paw and South Paw counters besides various kicks. He also does takedowns. The closest thing we'll ever see of his version of JKD. Put plainly, what I see is WC being presented as something it's not, from the stances to the drills.

[@alvinmwanzaovina.m.o4621]

Great video.!! What if someone attacks from behind?

[@redmule02]

love your channel Dan......Bruce Lee would be proud

[@FrancisMaxino]

Bruce mentions using spear hand thrusts to the neck or eyes (finger jab) as the primary hand techniques and describes the same intercepts and lines in the books but with spear hand but same principle applies.

[@patheq]

Keep posting sir .now I am your one of the students.😊

[@grimajkd2267]

Excelente explicación mas directo y fácil de aplicar. Saludos de México

[@sanasrboutique9572]

Thank you so much Don for such a great video 🙏

[@BretCoreysFilms]

I deflect, push away the arms and come in both hands attacking. If you control their arms even if they came in on the inside when you deflect it into a control spin push to the outside then you have an opening to go in for kill. Not saying to kill anyone but it's figure of speech to emphasize you have the advantage to finish it. Or create space. Very important...

[@Khmerseoulja]

I just found out about your videos a few days ago, I already caught up!

[@LarryArrojo-cz8qu]

EXCELLENT TRAINOR! It's amazing thing, I could punched my two hands at the same time, with my feet kicking at the same time, ! To God be the Highest Glory! Hallelujah 👏👏👏 Amen ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kevinphilippe0]

Great value Sifu Dan. I love jkd especially when is taught by you and your Sifu. :)

[@WhitePositive]

Very cool Dan!

[@SIGUJIVERNTIC]

Best advice even given

[@Mountain8ear]

How much power are you sacrificing by throwing both hands forward for the block strike combo?

[@cujothedogofwar]

"Blocking'' is really meeting the force or following the force-most specifically an attempted blow, and using the opponent's energy against him, am I correct? I've used mostly JKD working in 2 prisons and 2 jails, in hundreds of encounters! Never lost! My only other use was planting myself to the floor to throw inmates sometimes, some Aikido. Fighting spaces can be very tight and it all has to look good on camera, ha ha! Thank you for what you do! I'm a disabled military veteran now, relearning what works for me.

[@muiquyly9890]

How should we block a straight jab #1 and a heavy straight punch #2 from the other hand of a well-done boxer. A boxer attack by one hand and defend his face by the other hand then switch, simply throw correct punches #1,#2 from central line and from the face position.

[@davidking8126]

Awesome videos you show us... I wish I can learn from you... Where are you located...

[@totoroutes5389]

Make a video for how to block the maximum water pressure from fire hose.

Hey dan I lost my right arm in a car accident I’m looking for self defense techniques that can be adaptable for my situation. I like to hear of any ideas?

[@Gupta51022]

Literally, Cool Intro !!!

[@SugarRayCharles.]

I think Bruce was onto something when he created Jkd. Use what's effective and disregard what's not. Since fighting styles and techniques are evolving, a serious fighter or someone who's concerned about self defense should learn as many combative styles they can, and absorb the effective moves while forsaking the bullshit ineffective ones.

[@pharoahfinale1183]

You guys should do more jkd defense against other styles mostly boxing or people who prefer haymakers because all of your opponents wont use jkd

[@uncle_martin1131]

Hey makers are the easiest punches to block for a trained individual.

[@ricksterdrummer2170]

Martin Vikor Haymakers are overrated anyways. Watch any street fight on KZbin and you’ll see the bad guys always use a cross with over telegraphing. Haymakers are thrown by drunks, but sober assholes can pick fights as well. haha

[@WizardMindBarbarianBody]

A good hook punch knocks people out.

[@DylanFowler]

The way of the intercepting fist, with the help of the deflecting fore arm.
