Dan Lok Thank You so much! I really enjoy watching your videos! Xìexìe, Sifu!

[@ertont2849]

Dan Lok have a merry Christmas and happy new year

[@nicholasmirante1020]

Dan Lok My Money Sifu Merry Christmas SIFU DAN, I see you are working already. ☺ I used this punch a lot since I shoveled a lot in my life. Thanks Nick Mirante NY

[@xyon9090]

The Shovel Hook is used a lot in Boxing too, often times causing massive damage when landed. That fact just shows how effective it is.

[@DanLok]

Exactly.

[@zer0gravity184]

This particular move always helped me with taller opponents especially for executing the punch to the 'floating' rib area. I also learned this technique by watching many of the fights of Mike Tyson as well. I always appreciate the time and effort that Dan puts into the videos whether it's Martial Arts, financial education or any topic he covers. Gracias! Merry Christmas!🎄

[@pauldunlea3669]

@@DanLok I like your videos. What Is the difference between a boxers left rip to the body / And a shovel hook to the body ? The shovel hook As I understand Is targeting the liver. ? The left rip targeting the floating ribs ? Thanks Dan.

[@kunedoman]

I think a guy named Mike Tyson was rather good with a variation of this hook!

[@dannteeskew3336]

My favorite punch. Used it alot as a boxer. Great video bro.

[@walbertiusmorerius1245]

Because of this you delivery a very good quality content.

[@Dac-911]

The guy who perfected shovel hook. Donovan Razor Ruddock, who was a left handed boxer & stood in orthodox stance. Not even Bruce Lee did the shovel hook to such a perfection as Ruddock

[@MikeyDunksMusic]

Perpetuating the legacy of Sifu Lee's teachings. Love it, brother. Thank you.

[@FrancisMaxino]

Nice explanation of the classic shovel hook, a type of punch that goes back to the earliest days of 19th century boxing when fighters stances were often palm up with their fists.

[@user-mo1sc4eh7g]

I can feel the power!! Thanks shifu dan such amazing videos

[@chandlerherron6054]

Thanks Dan Preciate all y’all do brother 🙏🏿

[@TheVoMan]

Thank you so much for posting these videos. These have been exceptionally helpful in not only a physical aspect, but also a mental relief. With all the stresses in life, it's great to let it out through controlled release, and your videos have helped tremendously. It's great to see that you stay humble and continue spread what you love. Thank you again.

[@Don-ql2xs]

Yr a good man Dan ! Love yr channal and teaching method

[@bobbyhill4118]

Oh man, this has to be one of my favorite punches apart from the jab. See, you put your whole body into it and you strike at such an angle to where you’ll both use precision and force in a beautiful way, and land it all on a knockout spot.

[@bruhmoment3731]

I've learned a lot from you thank you!!

[@thechallengeboy5679]

The shovel analogy proves that most daily task can resemble a martial art technique

[@Docinaplane]

Much respect to you, Dan, for your explanation of why you are making these videos! I feel the same with the teaching I do. I want to give back for what was given to me.

[@a.garcia7127]

Another great video I own a copy of Bruce lees book Tao of Jkd and watching these videos helps me understand the movements and techniques from the book a lot more I think I learn things more visually than reading but really appreciate the videos been searching for them for ages so glad I found this channel 👍

[@Glaswanne]

I was apart of the Black Dragon Fighting Society and my Sifu was Lawrence Day. Even in his old age he hit like a truck with poison fist. After he passed the Sifu that took over doubled the rates and I couldn’t afford it. Loved Changwuan! (Longfist)

[@toolband1992]

Really love all your video's. You're nearly at 100,000 subscribers! Wow! I think I found you on your first vid as that is my interest in you: wing chun, JKD, BL, MA, all encompassing - obviously you as a business mogul. I have been doing WC for nearly 15 months and just made advanced level. Been a long, hard road. But I love to find inspiration, ideas, concepts, techniques, philosophies from anywhere and you, sir, are one of my main inspirations. Thank you so much for enriching my life and helping me with everything MA you give and offer. Merry christmas and a Happy New Year! And... 'Be water, my friend.' *RESPECT* Thanks. :)

[@DanLok]

Merry Xmas to you as well.

[@XxStratAttackxX]

Not trying to be a stinker, just sharing what I was taught personally. I never learned this strike and it is certainly something I could utilize. One thing I notice watching you guys throw is that your fist is clenched during the entire movement. I was taught that my arm should be loose and relaxed up until the point of impact when the entire body snaps into it's fully extended strike position. Also refraction should be a focus when throwing any strike so you can reset for the next one. Thoughts?

[@lorenzosantiago2127]

Love it very good love Master Bruce

[@kishorkumarsahoo4280]

Jkd good martial arts concept.i learn well by u ..u details every move

[@mokyan7]

Dan, developing a school or group also helps to transfer the knowledge and culture. I would join but I think you are down in Florida. I like the feel of staying loose like you’re doing, then the whole body turns/ throws the strike. If anyone has played ping pong, it is a similar feel when your paddle is about waist high, then you BAM! execute a side overhand slam/smash. You are loose, then you explode, and your hip turns with it. Like a racquetball slam too. Your hip leads, then arm, then fist, rapid unleashing. BAM! I like the feel of this shovel hook, sometimes when we chi sau or freestyle on the dummy or heavy bag you can throw them. Also hurts the side and ribs area, oof.

[@DELL0015]

Matthias633 where in Florida is his gym?

[@AgainstTheBladeOfHonour]

Would you consider adding a couple minutes to every one of these technical videos that serves as a "reversal"? Basically a quick mini segment that addresses how to counter the primary technique you are teaching. Another way of describing what I'm saying would be to have a thesis, anti-thesis and synthesis approach to sharing these techniques.

[@DanLok]

Let me think about it.

[@ertont2849]

This is great Dan very informative I like your comment section lol

Thanks.

[@aaronequihua5955]

Hello Dan Lok! I wanted to ask you and it would much appreciated if you would make a “Bruce Lee JKD” demonstration video on how to do the The FRONT FEINT KICK TO THE HOOK KICK. I believe you only see Bruce Lee perform this kick in “Way of the Dragon” when he fights the 2 Karate Masters. He performs this kick on Robert Wall after the other Karate Master says “Is your name Tao Lung?” Bruce performs those 3 kicks (which would be really cool to learn the techniques as well) and on the 4th one is the one I’m talking about... where he knocks Robert Wall. I just got an MMA Heavy Bag for XMAS so I’ve been practicing. I’ve been a huge fan of Bruce Lee since I first saw his movies as a toddler. I’ve done Karate, Boxing, and Wrestling groaning up. I even visited his cemetery in Seattle as well as the Wing Luke Museum in the exhibition of Bruce Lee. I know it’s a lot that wrote to you but I would certainly appreciate a video demonstrating this kick and it would very helpful to others as well. Thank you Dan! “Be Water, My Friend.” ☯️

[@travisshook3400]

Do you use Bai Jong when you slip and then half step forward to shovel?

[@ff-ww7uj]

The real macoy is never in it for profit, maybe just sustainability,thanks Mr.

We want more videos on Bruce lees Art and Wing Chun as well...it improves our Martial Skill ... Thanks Dan

Could you do a video on a jump round house kick

[@YuvrajSingh-cd7cu]

I see lots of moves are taken from the book championship fighting by jack dempsey.

[@rachiddjekboubi9033]

i like it, but to me it looks more like a uppercut angle of attack (in french i call this un uppercut ramassé (picked up or compact uppercut)). Thanks for sharing.

[@ronettejhoncaliwliw2303]

Mr Dan i would like to thank you for your sharings about jkd. Im using it to excercise myself and later my protection thanks a lot. But i have a request please tell me where i will start you have a lot of videos. And i dont know where i am going to start thanks shifu.

[@HECTORARTUROA]

Dan Lok, thanks for the video, 👏 maybe it could be useful a detailed video about the takedown in 5:20... I am using slow motion to catch the details... specially the direction of your leg (to 12 o' clock of your opponent, or towards his 1 o' clock... I don' use your clock as reference because you are moving, and your clock too)... it looks like an O' Soto Gari... another detail: how to keep the balance during the execution?... where must I put the foot, only in the rear part of the ankle, or even behind the rear part of the knee? Any advantage about this takedown compared with an Aikido takedown.... I am using an Aikido of takedown at the finish because is easier for me, thanks again.

[@DanLok]

I just did it without thinking. Wasn’t meant to include that in the video. Maybe in the future I can make a video just on takedown.

[@HECTORARTUROA]

Dan Lok that maybe explains why this is the first time I watch this kind of takedown in a JKD video... normally, I watch another kind of takedown, similar to one you showed in other video, pulling the shoulder, I think... the same kind Bruce used to do... you didn't thought, like Bruce said: "Don't think, feel".🤓

[@pulkitjain8759]

Dan i love your videos truely appreciate the talent Can you tell me the difference between Kung fu Vs karate Vs Tai chi ?? Sorry i don't know much about these Please do tell

Hey dan could you make some videos about hand and arm conditioning?

[@DanLok]

[@seinundzeiten]

yes this is a good technique... you should sell those JKD t-shirts...but the traditional print was the logo was small in the front and big on the back...

[@hrhhrh1961]

So I’m confused what do you do when a left hook is thrown at you from unorthodox footwork boxer basically

[@parhammaleki3546]

Hi sifu can you please instrucet defence againt fast straight punches and low kicks??🙏🙏

[@DanLok]

I might make a video in the figure based on that.

[@joedemagio1121]

Yea i was wondering about that gym and whats behind you. great videos im catching up while keeping up. got any advice for the resistance of the strike i felt like i managed to do one punch but then my arm felt like it wanted to rip off from the shoulder out. This is a wild guess but are tendons key here. is there any stretches for arms specific to jkd or are there any you reccomend. really though ive through a punch before but this feels like its fighting negetive G forces.

[@DanLok]

I might make a future video based on that.

[@joedemagio1121]

thank you mr dan lok for reviewing my comment i will look forward to seeing a video keep up the hard work on your videos

[@jamiemyant9120]

Can you please do a video on the Jkd rear cross? I am learning to fight southpaw after years of fighting in an orthodox stance and this punch I am struggling with also the rear uppercut

[@Gauntlets]

I wanna make a Hajime-no-Ippo reference... Does not Razor Ruddock call dis punch "the Smash" and doesn't one "Takeshi Sendo" use dis punch as his special?

[@tsohg1960]

Mr Lok are you a Joe Lewis Black Belt?

[@waseemahmed-nn5we]

Sir would you please explain how to do quarter swing and what it is? Bruce Lee included this in hand techniques section in his book Tao Of Jeet Kune Do but there is no description on google as well as youtube. I'll be very thankful.

[@DanLok]

I don’t know that technique.

some techniques to take down sir plsss 🙏🙏

[@hamzacruis6611]

in jkd

[@MrLouladakis]

i see that you throw at a different angle! so you can throw it in many angles

[@AKAUncleBeau]

Hate to disagree with a fellow JKD student, esp. Since I don't remember if I this is how I was also taught. However, this isn't correct.Thats not quite a shovel hook. Grab a short shovel, scoop and throw the scoop over the opposite shoulder. It Your not throwing a Shovel Hook. It is a "hook." That's a shovel cut. A shovel hook, involves a hip rotation. Throw the same punch but come at the floating rib and across. A shovel hook isn't merely a upwards punch thrown at a 45 degree angle originating at the hip.

[@Isa-wz5qm]

Roll jum Sao, when I do it people tell me I'm upper cutting wrong lol

[@kunedoman]

I think a guy named Mike Tyson was rather good with a variation of this hook!

Hey man..I've been doing Wing Chun for 3 years now practically spent all my free time doing forms n shaping up my body, so now I've noticed that although many of the guys at the training hall have been training for years with me and were pretty good at chi sao n all..but I'm the only one with muscles n like raw power it seems like most of the students just practice wing chun with no annual physical training at all...I mean chi sao n structure only wont win you a fight against me when I'm just faster n stronger...correct me if I'm wrong pls 😁😊😇

[@DanLok]

That’s exactly right. Attributes win fights, not techniques.

[@mokyan7]

Hey good to hear. I’ve been doing Wing Chun for several years, and I keep learning. I am not best at chi sau, but in recent years I realize it’s not fighting but only supposed to be working touch, reactions, sensitivity. I took a Krav Maga class for a little over a year and learned more, opened my mind. Now have been adding boxing footwork and slip drills, shadow boxing, freestyle work on wooden dummy and heavy bag, etc. I still use the Wing Chun principles but am seeking to blend in anything that can make me better. For example I also have noticed I prefer 50/50 or 60/40 stance weight distribution as I can move fast, good posture, quick and varied mobility. I also am reviewing JKD info and principles. Doing light sparring type drills and other attack/defense drills lately seems to also help reactions, distance control, mobility, etc. I tell other Students do quality first, then more speed, then more power, but being stronger and faster sure helps too. :)

[@loneronin6813]

@@mokyan7 I think it's wonderful that you have been creatively and successfully blending together what works best for you, your diligence is admirable. Over the past few years I've been dealing with chronic back pain that has left me incapable of most of the moves and methods that I know, but I've been using hand strikes from a mix of Boxing and Jeet Kune Do. (I use very Boxing-related punches and where it crosses over with Jeet Kune Do.) While I'm not able to fully rotate my body in the same way I'm used to, I've found that doing it the way Jeet Kune Do techniques suggest, it puts less pressure on my back without negatively affecting my punch. I can't really use Takedowns anymore like I would prefer to, and although my legs are still strong, I rarely use any kicks at all anymore, so I decided to dedicate my training to hand-work predominantly. I may be disabled now and I walk with a cane half of the time, (I'm only 26 believe it or not lol) but I'm just glad to be able to continue training with regularity again. I share my own personal experiences because I'm also pursuing the goal of being the best me that I can be despite my setbacks, and reading your comment about how you are achieving to become the best fighter and martial artist you can be is a goal I also share. Also, if you have any tips or techniques that you don't mind sharing, I would love to hear what you have to say ^_^ I hope you have an awesome Holiday Season and I wish you all the best.
