Amazing video dan!!! In the future make a video on how to train urself to be able to react fast nd block or defend attcks.In footwork do a video on the footwork that bruce was using in the clip u showed us in the video during his training.

[@justinmartinez8278]

Nice vid man!! Since you done the stances and footwork of Bruce lee ? Did he use any basic forms similar or close to ip’s forms?i would very much like to know more about that👍👍

[@floweroflife0306]

I practiced performance fencing for 19 years. This man is speaking the true 100%.

[@trevor244]

Sorry I not sure about the heal I was always thought this was my Grounding.never go on the toe. But I did like everything else

[@danplasma]

Wong Jack Man was a very humble traditional sifu, thanks to Grandmaster Bruce Lee we are able to enjoy this great art, awesome video Sifu Lok!

[@darkfist9889]

I love it when the sifu is in the episode

[@FrancisMaxino]

Started drills on the JKD footwork when I was 18 working from Bruce Lee's Fighting Arts books and it felt strange at first compared to my usual bounce on the spot L shaped TKD sparring stance and other ways of movement. When you incorporate the forward burst, sidestepping etc. into techniques, kicking and punching can be launched more naturally and with more power than classical karate or TKD where with things like side kicks you step behind and cross your legs (which I never do anymore). Having had the advantage of several years fencing in high school gave me an advantage in moving like this and it is also close to good boxers but slightly less pigeon toed. You can glide around but also have a strong base and lots of maneouvrability and always be covered. The most important aspect of the moving forwards part of JKD is the lead foot going first and then the rear foot immediately sliding to compensate, there is a moment just before you put weight on the front foot or it touches the ground where you can direct it into incredibly fast hook kicks or front kicks or even side kicks with the leading leg, it is just that tiny split second as the rear foot comes forward where there is a momentum you can throw into the technique. If you find a heavy target to strike it is the best way to work on it because you can know if you've got it right with power. It is hard to describe but it is like the weight of your body's gravity downwards is now suddenly transfered up and out and your rear foot plants and leg pushes quickly just b4 your foot strikes the target. I really think the principles of the footwork in JKD; shuffle, burst etc. are the reason Bruce could kick so fast and powerfully with his leading leg and arm.

[@trainyourselffit6829]

Totally agree. Once learnt, this is amazingly natural and effective footwork. Has allowed me to survive against many black belts when still a newbie white belt sparring in various styles over the years, as could already move well. Very intuitive.

Yes dan we want more jkd videos. They are just amazing

[@cd0975]

I love being able to see the training and development of JKD great videos.

[@DanLok]

Keep practicing.

[@curtisward1036]

Appreciate you dan. Been training since 1997 , and I still check videos to tighten bolts on the mechanical aspect .

[@solkracful]

Curtis Ward. Buy the book. It has diagrams

[@marcelbrown4016]

Dan I LOVE the new videos!! Octavio brings so much to the table please keep it up!!

[@ProdigalSonAD70]

RIP Ted Wong I first learned proper JKD footwork from him and later after seeing Chris Kent demonstrate it in his DVD

[@longmire903]

The footwork is definitely going to take time use and I'm learning the stance

[@Veloce2000]

Sure i like this. I was practicing Tkd and Boxing many years and eventually stick to Sanshou. Being right-handed, it'll take me some time to switch side like a southpaw. As for this 'fencing' JKD footwork i feel ok , >Ok or not i remember Bruce Lee said "adopt what's useful,discard what's not" and "choose the style that suits you, NOT you to suit the style". Anyway, please continue to share your knowledge, i certainly appreciate this. (There's no limit to learning and this makes martial arts interesting. I'm 54 now and surely cant spar the way i did when young, i'm trying to evolve and find a way that best suit my age now)

[@martyleyeti]

Great Vidéo I loved it. Basically you are describing the ''True Boxer Stance'' with the strong hand leading instead of the weak one. I like it. It's very logical and very practical. Marvin Cook has the best videos about footwork so far with his TBS. It's something you can use in almost all combat sports. Last week Nate Diaz performed an awesome demonstration of this stance in MMA. His feet and body were moving perfectly and fast. He let no chance to his opponent

[@christopherpavkovich4995]

Very informative. Love the breakdown and progressive tips.

[@zan831]

My understanding is that in JKD stance, your legs are actually pre-emptively loaded, like a spring. When you raise your front foot, the rear foot automatically springs you forward. It uses the natural elastic power from your achilles/quadriceps tendon to give you that quick explosive power with minimal effort. Its too slow to just "step" forward, because you have to wait for your weight to shift.

[@nicholaserith5327]

brill stuff love Sigongs instructions very helpful just starting to lean this at grand age of 60😎

[@connorwalters5861]

I love this series so much it has helped me out alot i love jkd i learn Wing chun at the moment but maybe in the future i will learn jkd but this show is brilliant thank you so much

[@thatonemothafacko]

This footwork is also used in koi kan karate. Very useful in a real fight. Amazing to see in jkd too! Step slide forward, back,left, right, and on the 45s.

[@ashleyturner1071]

Oh wow..that's some awesome teaching 👏 excellent👍 Thank you for that💯

[@efrenramirez7858]

Referente al trabajo de pies ES TODO EN LA PELEA BRUCE LO DIJO . LA PELEA NO LA GANAS CON LOS PUÑOS . Es el arte de como utilices tus pies. Hasta el grado de no permitir ser tocado. Dan gracias por los temas que presentas y así nosotros agregar más al tema de artes marciales.

[@dusandragovic09srb]

Your sifu looks as cool as his name ;)

[@katiek5085]

Hello Sifu Dan Lok and Sigong Octavio Quintero. I really like how you directed the pace of steps with numbers. I felt it to be more of a challenge for my body and mind but in a good way. I'm new to JKD and want to be perfect with my footwork but there are no classes where I live to advance my knowledge and accuracy. I was wondering if you're able to make a video of claps and/or numbers, back, forth, right, left, etc for a daily drill to follow. I understand how a video can take important time out of your day but I can guarantee that you will have viewers because I will take the time out of my day to watch and follow it.

[@hammerhead6537]

Just found this video and also Dan Lok's videos. And subscribed to both! GREAT.

[@AtillaSade]

many thanks, Dan and Octavio

[@Trpj1982]

Superb as always! You guys are the best! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I Dream of training with you in Vancouver! Cheers!

[@leonardevans1441]

Enjoyed the video. Step and slide was the intial/basic footwork that I was taught by boxing instructors. The basics are essential. I would love to see you cover the more explosive, distance covering, fencing inspired, foot work of JKD as well. Maybe a intermediate and then advance footwork sequel to this video.

[@gautampramanik]

Need one more footwork video in more detail 🙏

Hi Dan, really enjoy your video. Very informative. Fantastic

I would love to see a top down view of the feet and knees to get a better idea of positioning. Other than that this was very useful to me. Thank you as always for your work on this.

*For some reason* I adapted the JKD footwork quite easily.

[@irfandy8]

Dean Natuno it's fun actually, it's just easier to move!

[@ravedragneel1266]

well i imagined my hands like a sword and it worked out since it did come from a fenching stance adabpting is good but mastering is ao whole diff level

[@emnegrido75]

how did you adapt to it quite easily?

[@shujiling213]

can used bow and arrow stance to move footwork thank you

[@paddyleonard9386]

It’s funny how the suggested video appeared and disappeared with perfect timing lol

[@julianheyward5467]

Hey Dan, I've been watching your JKD videos enjoying them very much. Can you possibly cover side stepping foot work next time around? Thank you

[@ochs-hema]

More footwork!

[@funzzzies]

Birth of a dragon was a strange movie felt like Bruce was an anime character like rock lee. Also what kind of monk wears a western suit? Very good explaination in the video. For footwork i used thin rope to connect my hands to my feet like a puppet. Yes it is limiting but just to get into habit of using legs when i punch. I'm sure i look silly do at your own cringe tolerance. Could be worse ball room dancing could help with footwork.

[@QuickmixProductions]

Great!

[@CBHDK59]

nowadays we have grappling or Brazilian jiu jitsu, especially kid fans who likes to adopt these grappling techniques. and the footwork of the kicker - puncher must be carefully executed towards grabbers. this is true in HUNT KING DO footwork.

I boxed a little and couldn't fight conventially because of these principals. Jab has always been more accurate and potent. Left cross took some time but is now just as powerful and alot quicker. Get alot more snap out of it from drilling proper hip rotation. I don't know why you would want it any other way tbh. Its kind of how the slavs do it.

[@marcelbrown4016]

can you show lateral movement and circling next? and maybe pivot step.

[@thomaserickson7213]

There seems to be contradictory information in how you move. In some instances the movement is referred to as stepping with the lead foot then dragging the back foot. In other instances you're pushing on the back foot then stepping with the lead foot. Which is it?

[@jasonck9635]

Yea some people are more comfortable in certain stances , it’s just a guideline to follow ,no two schools are exactly the same , In one of my jkd schools they adopted a flat footed stance on the rear leg , that I did not like , and still do not use , I prefer the rear leg heel up myself , making it easier to spring up off of instead of being rooted to the ground . so your question is valid , it’s never a gospel truth on how you always have to do it , it’s just a guide to quicker lighter movement , but of course find a comfort for you maybe close to it and use it , no two humans are the same and Bruce believed in finding everyone’s strengths then excelling those , but I completely understand what you are saying, but one thing I learned in going to different schools is outta respect the Sifu who is teaching you , do it the way they show you , then modify for your comfort on your own when alone !

Hola dan lok vi que todo desarrollo personal es debido. Por una circunstancia en la juventud digamos bullying. Mi pregunta sabrás que le hicieron de pequeño a Bruce lee.

[@bradmartin1967]

This reply has to do with your tan sau program. You have the beginning and the end, you are missing the middle. If you use the crane hand you will see what I mean. This is in regard to chi sau. In a free fight situation take up boxing/kickboxing. No body has been able to make Wing Chun work in that environment. As an example Wong sheung Leung, one of Yip Man's top fighters, did terrible in the Taiwan Tournament.

[@jonathanclemens8018]

So my natural fighting stance happens to be similar to the jkd stance minus my non dominate foot is forward and on the ball of my foot. I'm wondering why the front foot is flat though. I played football for most of my life and found if both feet are on the ball you're way more explosive

[@Tunnelenjoyer]

Bruce actually recommends in the tao of jeet kune do that you rest on the ball of your lead foot as well, not entirely flat. That’s why they bend the front knee, to try and keep that explosive power

[@KiraTheUnleashed]

Could you please explain why would you keep your feet in a L shape way as per the instructor at 8:40 ? Or if possible make a video on it ?

[@Excellence271]

We need other foot works also...

[@jonathanclemens8018]

I forgot to add it's easier for explosive movement and pivoting too. But this is just what I've found and maybe it's just what works for me. You're the expert, I'm just curious I'm
