[@avmiritav83]

It’s like seeing the fighting method books of Bruce Lee but in 2021. But with more details.

[@markrene6108]

Better, this is Bruce yrs later 👍🙏 Thomas, Sifu Tommy is unbelievable, to be invited to the Bruce Lee Foundation by Linda and Shannon to show the best of JKD shows the respect his skills & teachings are held in by those who matter most, Sigo Bruce's family. 👍🙏

[@truthserum9456]

Thanks again Thomas for a very informative video. Would you please do a detailed one on punching with hand moving first? I am struggling with this one. Peter NY

[@markrene6108]

Thanks Thomas, showing the mechanics like that helps immensely. I just love the footwork, the quickness & fluidity, cheers mate 👍

[@abmagnitude7596]

No need to run in from meters away to produce enough power for a punch or a kick, this is true efficiency in motion. Just enough motion to produce the force needed. Great video!

[@infectionsman]

Good work Thomas!

[@franktidwell8392]

As Bruce said, compared to your left jab In boxing, except it's much more damaging..much more economy in motion, much faster this way, thank you sir awsome as always

Some folks says that the JKD side kick is not chambered which is not true.I would say its partially chambered.The classical side kick is fully chambered and they even retract the side at the hips before launching it.

[@roachcuca3190]

Makes even more sense to not chamber more than needed, since the power doesnt come that much from knee extension, rather than gravity, balance and rotation.

[@jaketheasianguy3307]

Don't know why people said sidekick need high chamber for power, the power come from the glute and the twist of the hips. Chambering high only helps the kick goes higher to target like the ribs or the throat/face Also i have a question ? If the sidekick in JKD served both offense and defense so well, then why bother learning the Jeet Tek ? It can only serve as a stopping tool and it didn't even have the penetration of the sidekick since the leg is straight from the start

[@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO]

Stop kick as as well devastating, as also there you push through the knee using hip rotation. Also remember, the opponent is stepping in, so this ads to power. People just don't know how to use it.

[@jaketheasianguy3307]

@Nic777 nah, any knowledgable Karate or Taekwondo players that i know are well known about the purpose of chambering high, so they could kick high and do multiple kicks with one leg. No one i know have ever said "you must chamber high so the kick could get stronger", i think people who said it are either newbies or guys that don't even train

[@axelstone3131]

Most side kicks aren’t even side kicks. Most side kicks look like some weird angle back kick. Joe rogan does this. His side kick looks more like an angled back kick but if you look at Bruce lee when he does it, it is without a doubt a side kick

[@SPJJ72]

Is looks offensive and defensive the same . If one movement can finish the job why there is a need for second one? Clambering high bcos bruce ETD sidekick and that in movie. Talking about real life suitation one strike job is done lol

[@jaketheasianguy3307]

@Wolfgath Look up Bill Wallace. He's one of the few fighters in history that managed to land multiple head kick combo repeatedly while hopping on one leg, the guy has crazy hip flexors. The multiple head kicks drill in Karate TKD, Sanda... is not static either, standing still is for beginners, later on you even practice to hit high to low (like sidekick to the lead leg and switch up right away to head round kick) while keep sliding/hopping forward and backward. Of course, head kicks are not recommended for self defense so the practice doesn't fit much here, but you can't say it's useless. Even when you won't be able to land multiple kicks on someone's head while hopping, it's still a good exercise to strengthen your muscles, allow your kicks at all level to be smoother and more powerful

[@pancho43]

You guys kick similar to Wonderboy Thompson. He doesn't chamber his kicks back, so he can reach the opponent's body faster.

[@jaketheasianguy3307]

Wonderboy does chamber, but not the traditional way with the knee goes up first. He pick up the heel first, makes the leg went into a bended position, which still count as a chamber, and he just shove the heel into the opponent The sidekick taught in most JKD groups that i'm familiar with, including this channel is still similar to the TKD method. Rear leg pivot first so the hips got into the ready position, the knee goes up into a chamber at the same time the rear leg pivot, hip twist and kick out. It's just that instead of the knee goes all the way up to the chest like in TKD, in JKD, the knee only goes up a little bit since the target is low. From the outside, they looks very identical but the explanations of the body mechanic are different

[@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO]

The rear leg doesn't have to shuffle always, depends on the distance. Sometimes it can even move backwards, which would be retreating side kick.
