Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do Side Kick

[@DanLok]

The Bruce Lee JKD Side Kick You Have Been Waiting For. Share your insights below about this video

[@nicholasmirante1020]

Dan The second type is used in Wing Chun, but it comes down on the knee cap. The stop kick is nice on the knee to lock it back but it also works great on the hip bone. Similar to the utility of the shoulder stop. Check out some of the Vietnamese Wing Chun videos working on the mook jong. Are you looking for a custom made mook jong or octopus made to your specs of body ergonomics?? Let me know, I can help.

Dan Lok Sifu upon appling this method to a match with well ranked fighter to day I bested him in 2 seconds!!! Xie xie /mh goi

[@devonlarrattscheckmate2016]

Can you talk to corkscrew punch?

[@pratimakumari447]

Dan Sir can you please teach us Bruce Lee's flying kick.

[@glockhudson8029]

Spin wheel kick

[@tripmastermonkee]

The real secret to this kick, once you've mastered the basic mechanics is to land your kick before your other foot lands on the floor. Watch Bruce's footage executing this kick on the heavy bag in his backyard in slow motion. You'll notice his foot lands almost simultaneously, but just milliseconds after the kick hits the target. Easier said than done, but worth mentioning.

[@mcsmartass8306]

tripmaster?? I should have expected to find you here

[@sd3116]

Why cus gravity adds to kick force?

[@HiddenUsename]

LOL. It ain't a movie. If you don't have the second foot on the ground, you won't kick. You will simply push yourself away from your opponent

[@ishteerashid8700]

I have improved my kicks. Thank you. Be water my friend.

[@HDLifter]

I was obsessed with the side-kick as a teen, I ended up running 2 martial arts clubs. The only thing I would add, if I may, in a full power side kick your body should be turned so you see it with one eye...on the kick side of course. Great stuff Dan!

[@FrancisMaxino]

i.e. lack of adequate chambering for a full power thrusting side kick.

[@pnojazz]

Dan, being a fan of Bruce back in 1973, over the years, I've been very fond of his stop kick and side kick. Thank you for breaking it down to the basics. More like this please, and subscribed.

[@awesomedude65]

This helped improve my side kicks in 30 seconds. From my fighting experience I ensure that kicks are more effective than punches

[@chuckmcfadden6782]

Freakin awesome! Thank You Dan! Man, Bruce would be so proud of you. And Ted too! I always look forward to your lessons. Stay Blessed.

[@DanLok]

+Chuck Mcfadden awesome. Practice well my friend.

[@fernandofranco5490]

Dan is the only guy (in my opinion) that can emulate each movement almost like Bruce. Its like watching the Dragon drilling in 2018. He (Brice Lee) was my first intructor, who taught me how to kick, just by watching his movies. I was 7 Years old. Thanks Dan for your knowledge and for keeping his legacy alive.

[@Triggerex]

I have watched all of your JKD Videos. I'm very thankful for your free valueable lessons! Thank you Dan!

[@mrlarkin6416]

I was trained in jkd many years ago and I have forgotten many moves your channel helps me to remember and practice I'm 53 and was involved in a conflict not long ago and used a palm strike and one inch punch follow up the opponent was younger and more fit than me but I was surprised that I walked away while he was on the ground Thank you 😎

[@DavidMiller-fy4ph]

Mr Larkin If you don't remember JKD technical moves, then you didn't practice or train enough to make it muscle memory.. because once you know it you don't forget. Not just be like water, be like water that forms and expresses in many ways. A spray A jet stream A drop A splash A fall A guyser A mist A puddle A wave Etc,etc. Master JediROTN (World class Champion, pro master foosball competitor, JKD freestyle.

[@undefinedme1241]

I finally learn it. thanks Dan Lok

[@ccbasscc]

best JKD lesson I ever saw!!

[@DanLok]

Welcome.

[@vernshein5430]

Thanks for the great video! Lee often used a counter rotation of his upper body to increase the power of his jump into side thrust kick. I don't like to do it myself because it moves my hands too far to the rear away from the line of riposte from my opponent but I do agree that the counter rotation does increase the power of the kick. Another point is that side kick, especially the sliding side kick that you demonstrated is especially effective when used as a counter stop hit against an opponent who has opened up his middle line as he charges you. Then his movement of his body center towards you adds power to your kick.

[@ShinobiKun55]

You explain things well. I learned more than I expected to from this video.

[@aleksdofficial8885]

Keep your hands up. Even if you’d land that kick you still need to practice to keep your hands up while kicking.

[@edgar22452]

That's right. My American Shotokan instructor said the same thing.

[@penjuan3603]

Nah bro. All depends on your style, but if you’re a beginner then you should practice with your hands up

[@NoName-mb7iw]

Okay mr white belt sensei cheese burger.

[@alexandrebarbosa4933]

The form is hands up. If you want true power you must forget your arms. Like the last seconds of a boxing match. When smell blood the guard becomes obsolete

[@chrisyoung7209]

My hapkido instructor always taught me to never cross legs when stepping into kicks, during light sparring Id get swept at moment my feet crossed

[@erickdeleon1641]

Thank you a lot. I don't have money to pay for a class. But now, you are my master. Thank you a lot.

[@kelvendyson1508]

I've noticed with Bruce Lee's side kick..he actually gets off the ground!

[@jhoncadalin5887]

Kelven Dyson bruce jumps to combine his force with the gravity to make his kicks more effective

[@kelvendyson1508]

@Ruben Morales Whatever that's supposed to mean....he does it in the backyard workout footage...but I guess that's a movie.

[@TheXternalHunter]

Great vids Sifu. I always remember a TKD seminar where the side kick was described as drawing the letter C from resting and flowing up to the target. After trying this it seemed much more powerful than a hinge technique for that type of kick and felt less back force to yourself upon impact.

[@J2897Tutorials]

The "stop kick" is my favourite. Your opponent needs two legs to fight effectively... It would be nice to see a list of kick-names next to icon-images of each kick.

[@patrickpaderes7822]

Almost Perfect 0:43 If you look closely you can see Bruce Lee right hand eye jab feint. Feint first and than do the side kick. 7:21 you can practice the feint before you kick the target. I love your videos and I just subbed C:

[@mlopez6179]

Thank you for the view 👍

[@graciemiller9596]

Throwing your lead hand up was used as a feint distraction in JKD. Very good video Dan. Nick

[@345kobi]

Your understanding of and ability to explain biomechanics is much respected.

[@ChannelLogic]

Also learn one new knowledge i have always wonder how bruce kick so near yet so much power so the side kick is not a push but a spring you contract then expand wow thanks dan

[@Tyler-jp3uj]

Awesome video, looks like I found the right channel to begin my road to awesomeness

[@illu653]

Hi Dan, I am very thankful for your time and knowledge within these videos, it has sparked an interest in me. I have noticed in some videos, you mention the principle of non-telegraphic strikes in which you attempt to not "queue" your opponent of an incoming motion. This is fascinating to me as many modern combatants do the exact opposite! My question to you, if it's not too much of an inconvenience, is what about the principle of "non-intention"? From my basic knowledge, I believe I understand that JKD is heavily influenced by Bruce Lee and with that said, does the philosophy of non-intention play into the teachings? Thank you

[@starrmartinez5963]

Thank you Dan, you gave me some great tips and you explained it in good details 👍

[@frankyjkd]

I did it the same way 20 years long till i found the last evolution of Bruce's way of JKD. And i can tell you, it is something kompletly different. The Power, Speed and execution is not from this world, really awesome.

[@EnkSkoob]

I just broke my door doing this🤣

[@celineragnarto6546]

Hahahah

[@Mexi_dude]

Lmao I’m laughing so hard rn

[@Shojushoju]

I’ve been seeing a whole bunch of Dan Lok ads on FB. Not even sure what he’s advertising as I skim right past them. Now I go to look up some JKD techniques on KZbin and come across Dan Lok’s videos - which are actually quite good! And I teach JKD. Hmm, maybe now I’ll have to check out his FB Ad next time I see it, lol!

[@bekabel310]

Good demo,I'm a Judo Black Belt and I love JKD approach to fighting.

[@doltonthibodeaux414]

I'm very glad I found this channel, I practice JKD so this will help alot in my practices

[@DanLok]

Continue practicing.

[@ricksanchez525]

I tried and I had so much power my extended leg, made me go at least, a foot farther then I was trying for.

[@ItsMe-vu3ez]

Yes!! Fight video is back 👍🏼 Basically my whole sisters and me are loving watching your jkd videos and to practice new skills😁 And pleaseee continue to show us more about Bruce Lee's techniques!

[@DanLok]

Lol Me, yes more JKD videos are here. Keep Practicing.

[@Docinaplane]

Very nice tutorial! Dan, your technique is excellent! Your tall student will be quite formidable once he learns to turn his hip as you do and do the kick in one motion. I've recently modified the long distance kick a little after watching Bruce in videos turn his upper body away from his opponent at the end of the kick. I realize I lose sight of the target at that moment, but as the kick is already there I don't think it's a problem then and it feels more powerful that way.

[@vernharris2708]

Ah ya!! Thank you for that amazing detail I always thought you bring the rear foot up and planted right next to the front foot but placing it behind your body that's where you get the power that's what generates the whipping action that makes that kick so powerful👏👏💪😎

[@glennnash2606]

You are a very good teacher, Bruce Lee would be proud of you.

[@FrancisMaxino]

Bruce Lee developed his parallel side thrust kick to have more chambering like a classical Tae Kwon Do or Karate side kick after getting some tutelage from the TKS grandmaster Jhoon Rhee, the demonstration of his side kick breaking dangling boards in 1972 shows how beautiful and refined his form had become for the side thrust.

[@tonytorres4535]

This was absolutely AWESOME Dan!!😃

[@edthebeast3962]

All I could do was feel for the guy holding the shield

[@derekvandenburg6689]

Well done good sir. The sidekick is such an under used technique in today's martial arts world.

[@Andrew_JKD]

I simply love this kick!!

[@FigueroaAFM]

this video is amazing. Im doing tkd and this is my favourite kick i have learned some few nuances

[@Bloodsaber64]

at 7:33 Bruce does not even seem to be standing on his back foot, it looks like he's jumping off his kicking foot into the kick.

[@AC-jh6ti]

Bloodsaber64 hopping side kick

[@angeloszavier]

Thank you. You saved my fan of Bruce Lee

[@davidh9476]

In one of your other videos I noticed your back foot for this kick being in a position for maximum grounding for power and to not be off balance. This video opens with that from Bruce Lee.

[@WinngchunchannelLilAT-ryuiop]

This is very good I tried with my partner and I sent my partner flying and the kick tried before 500 time but no practice right now

[@MegaLouie1967]

Mr. Dan Lok, thank you for this, you are a great teacher.

[@superstrangevideo]

Excellent demonstration. Just learned alot.

[@kaychinn4049]

very well put together video. A lot of great content and knowledge base here. Thanks for sharing

[@BaronMcCausland]

Simply masterful teaching skills.

[@alexkoulgamer]

Idk other martial arts like karate and taekwondo said side kick is not effective but it actually the most effective kick that i love💙

[@kr9527]

I always notice that my hand goes behind my leg. Definitely gotta practice keeping my hands up

[@chrishanson9626]

Great videos sir. I appreciate your teaching style and generosity, thank you.

[@kdub7807]

We'd called this lunging sidekick the "Thunderkick" back in the day, lol Power would be increased by (A)having the plant-foot land closer to his opponent while (B) flowing towards and exploding "through" target. Otherwise a lot of momentum is lost in the widened gap; momentum being the "booster" to an already powerful kick.. To that you add a stationary(immoveable)target(beam, wall or tree)to gradually build up ability to master the kick as Bruce Lee said that when you can kick a tree with your hardest kick without breaking your stance/losing balance-then you understand that kick(paraphrase). The latter is excellent for any kick intended to "dismiss" your opponent The 45 degree angle is a great example of the art and principal of JKD: each one is to use what works and is best for them; discarding what doesn't "fit"-hence "No Way" becomes "your way" making each JKD practitioner unique in his "honest expression"... I love it!

[@davidrodriguez894]

Wtf i saw this guy telling me to get rich on IG, now hes doing martial art videos. What a life.

[@newbieartist5422]

When you injured their rib were they wearing padding?

[@Mr.Alpha-Niner]

Perfect explanation of the mechanics of a side kick

[@TheCirclingMowass]

Thanks, sifu. Great lessons.

[@ChannelLogic]

Bruce lee is basically real life cheat code and dan has master his code and is spreading the knowldege thank you dan

[@Anthony-fg6ro]

Yes, that's correct what I did practising sidekick all the time.

[@AGC828]

I've been a Bruce Lee fan for most of my life. But, I've never really analyzed his kicks. Like his "side kick". While we know how effective he was rumoured to be...I'm noticing in the clip from Enter The Dragon that after delivering the kick he's starting to look away. The Muay Thai guy in the video was doing the same. Something any martial artist or fighter should never do. Take his/her eyes off the opponent. This video. Well done. Terrific breakdown of Bruce's side kick. Trained with Joe Lewis? You don't look that old. :)

[@DanLok]

Anderson C, good insights. Keep watching more of my martial arts videos here: kzbin.info/aero/PLEmTTOfet46N9uEUTCHQfwbmaRNlPjKiU

[@firesplash5398]

I got a Dan Lok ad before watching this

[@bekabel310]

I am a Judoka and I find this kind of side kick easy to execute because we have the same body shifting when we execute forward throws and it's called (Tsukuri) in Japanese Judo terminology.

[@funzzzies]

Did this by accident once in a school fight. I got bullied a lot and my only experience in martial arts was 4 weeks taekwondo and lots of my dads bruce lee vhs's. Guy fell back and on his butt very effective. Now that im older i suck at it. Lot more mass moving around got to find my rythum again or we just become bags of dirt. This video helps a lot though the contraction explaination helps with larger bodies if you pull more in like a spring range has to be experimented with. Im not tall btw just not used to being broad.

[@DanLok]

Appreciate you sharing.

[@davidfriedman7823]

Very good sidekick lesson sidekicks seem to be neglected today I have ended altercations with one sidekick. It's good to have in your arsenal

[@stanyog]

Nice training, thank you very much.

[@dancindavey1515]

Excellent description. Great videos. If I was forty years younger, I’d move to your city to study in your school. At 70 years old, too late now. Wasted many years at a McDojo.

[@chriswise7365]

You HAVE the best videos I have seen on jkd .I started researching jkd since I was 18 I'm 32 now please keep up the good work and are you bringing up the knee straight up from on guard then turning?Please don't take your videos off 😀

[@DanLok]

Yes, knee up and then SNAP the hip.

[@chriswise7365]

thank you so much

[@sumatidalai4489]

Hey Dan what types of jkd stretching we can do

[@stephanwatson7902]

I had been practicing throwing a sidekick without windup for 2 and 1/2 weeks, then a drunk bullrushes me at a bar. Jkd and this sidekick saved me from being tackled to the concrete. Although some of the force of a 150lb man in full sprint running into my heel, went back into my left hip and hurt it for a couple weeks

[@leornendeealdenglisc]

Thank you. Very cool.

[@pustomkumar8165]

I love these kicks thanks.best kick.

[@BobRoss-wm3lc]

At 9:10 It’s very important to not that the talker kid was standing the same distance from the pad as Dan was, and the other kid is taller so he should be stand in farther away from the pad than Dan was. It will be a better kick if he makes that small adjustment. Your videos are great btw, much respect.

[@JoseCalderonadds]

[@84tubbs18]

Love it but this was actually one of the first kicks I learn from Bruce but some of the other variety of kicks Bruce was able to execute are the ones I've been trying to rediscover.
