Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do Concept vs Original

[@ventroquilist]

Can I ask you something shifu Dan?

[@1Flyingfist]

Dan Lok I liked the video. But if you're sparring and you can only do 1-2 moves effectively, then don't you think that you will become predictable? I can only assume that 1-2 moves are more suitable for real life scenarios "in the street". I've moved on from the whole JKD / JKD concepts thing. Your sifu looks thinner than me, but taller. If he was attacked by the meat head football hooligan jokers that are around here, he'd get wrecked, I'm sorry. These kind of guys are thick in the head, have no reasoning and just don't give a ****. No JKD, karate, wing chun sticky hands, ju jitsu is stopping these guys.... 🤔 you need tear gas, a weapon of some kind. Most sensible option is to run very very fast. Sorry if that sounded disrespectful. It's just that learning karate, then JKD concepts, then escrima, then kick boxing, kung fu and Thai Boxing, opened my eyes to the difference between sparring and real life. There is no evil intent in sparring, so your training isn't guaranteed to work. 😐 But it's better than nothing.

[@chrissilcox6090]

Dan Lok I feel from what I have learned from his books published after his passing and learning concepts and fundamentals from others as well as you that I feel a very similar opinion on JKD. I do feel it is important also to start exploring the realm of weapons more and that it could be a crucial skill to incorporate into JKD. Thanks Dan.

Dan, im from vancouver and practicing wingchun over 10+ years. Would love to meet you and practice some chi sau. Are you down? :)) if Yes tell me best way to contact you. Cheers

[@DUARTE99]

I love both but I prefer to train in the JKD concepts more. The “absorb what is useful and discard what is useless” saying, it makes sense to me so my skills, techniques and knowledge is constantly evolving. For example, no one outside of Brazil knew about Gracie/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Bruce Lee’s time. But I have no doubt that if Bruce knew about it, he would learn it and adapt it. But since that didn’t happen, and Bruce didn’t teach it, are we to discard it then, since BJJ wasn’t in the original curriculum? I do respect the original JKD community with all my heart. I just personally prefer to keep adapting, and evolving like adding BJJ or any other method of fighting that didn’t exist, or wasn’t as well known back in Bruce’s time, if it works in actual combat of course, so I can be the best martial artist/fighter I can possibly be.

[@officialblkreign9330]

Not true. The ground fighting was/is in Judo official curriculum.

[@smesh141]

JKD Concepts is not a real jeet kune do, Bruce wasn't incorporating techniques from other martial arts to JKD. He originated from Wing Chun and was inspired by boxing and fencing, that's all.

[@louscel46]

He would have taken the useful in brazilian jiu jitsu ...but he would not have tried to get a blackbelt in jiu jitsu. You have to have the core of jkd to be able to use what is useful. Thats what he meant. Not study all styles

[@supralogical]

Thanks to Dan Lok for this interesting video. As one of Bruce's Oakland students, I'd like to take this opportunity to correct a common misconception that the term "Jeet Kung Do" was coined in 1967. For example, there is this from the Bruce Lee Foundation: "The term Jeet Kune Do was coined and put into use in 1967 by Bruce Lee in an attempt to put a name to his martial art expression." Bruce announced Jeet Kune Do to his Montecello students in Jimmy Lee's garage in1965.

[@teddygr504]

"The ability to adapt to any situation. Efficiency is anything that scores." In my opinion I believe you should all stop with the nonsense and be an individual, express yourself.

[@jdecarlo99]

The JKD philosophy seems practical & balanced which makes it applicable to many activities like business, health and so on. As far as the two paths where one is “traditional” and the other is the application of the philosophical principles... why not embrace both? A foundation is required for anything of substance to last. But the human element always impacts the end product. Ultimately though, the individual’s like/dislikes and gifts/skills become that person’s technique/approach to anything.

[@damirko]

Great video, ty to both Sifu's, Sifu Dan Lok and Sifu Sigong Octavio Quintero. I think you are both correct in your views of what it is. Also, when it comes to Ego, i think its to the detriment of the fighter when they have it because it causes them to always under estimate their opponent. I've had a few street fight with other Martial Artist and I've noticed that the bigger the ego, the more they under estimated me and the easier it was to defeat them. Also, when i asked why did you say this or that it came back to the teachers philosophy that their art was the best. I would always say all Martial Arts are good, you just need to find the right one for you that you are comfortable doing and will be affective when used in real life. As for so many techniques, I see your point. But from my experience when using it in tournaments and in the streets in Chicago. When in a situation you just react and it flows out of you, whether its one or 4 men you take down in seconds when things happen. I've wondered before what will i do but i've always noticed that it just came out of me and i was able to deal with the situation. With JKD, i think we can all make assumptions on what Sifu Brue Lee would say or do or add to. But he is the only one that would be able to say what would be next. I do think fighting has evolved and Martial Arts needs to be able to handle it in where ever it goes and where it might happen. To that in my opinion i think Sifu Lee would have had it evolve to handle things but still have certain principals behind it so it stays true to its nature. Sifu Lee was only with us a short time in his life when it was cut short. But he did give us a foundation on where to start from and evolve forward.

[@SehdudeYoon]

Deep stuff Sifu! Love the way you break it down.

[@joshuarox1739]

Correct. Definitely opinions and arguements about JKD make no sense, especially because most people think that JKD is a standardized technique, which is in fact not, but a concept towards finding what best fits your needs. I've just started Muay Thai trainings for 2 months now, but i have had practiced several martial arts before. But during Muay Thai sparring, i apply JKD principles while limiting my techniques to just Muay Thai techniques and rules,.. But every strike i make does a lot of difference. I beat those guys who practiced Muay Thai for at least 2 years already. So, JKD is not a standard technique, but a principle.

[@smesh141]

Jkd is standardized, it's not a concept.

[@itdk107]

What I like is that the "difference" is not so important. Like you say: Go for directness, simplicity, hack away the unessential. JKD is science behind fighting. Give it a name and it is ruined.

[@awakenow7147]

I agree. I also trained in JKD Concepts for awhile. I got confused at first and then I noticed the "i have too many tools and forgot where I put them!" issue. I do my best to simplify it mentally: Just make my own style that has good intercepting striking methods, takedowns, and ground game. The labels just make things way too complex for my mind to handle. I'll pay homage to the traditions of those arts, but I will also incorporate them in a formless and nameless way.

[@misskitty2187]

Hi! I am not involved in martial arts in any way but I believe that Bruce Lee himself said 'Be like water ' when referring to the art and he went on to say: ' Be shapeless... formless..' therefore if we listen to the master it is clear that he did not enjoy being a passive student He was an active student who constantly evolved and broke barriers that prevented his evolution but it is also nice to have in mind an old quote which I believe comes from Picasso who said: Learn the rules like a master so you can break them like a pro'

[@arfandroid6729]

And that is exactly what these guys from jkd concepts are doing, they just use this type of quotes to support their actions, probably just to make more money on Bruce's name.

I completely agree with the idea of concepts and principles. Have been training and teaching in multiple styles for the past 45 years. I am new at doing videos for the past 6 months and I constantly see people are always highly opinionated. I love learning still and sharing what I can with those out there. I have much appreciation for what you have been sharing, keep it up.

[@MindBat]

Bruce developed a system to be applied simply and directly. Including principles from other arts can be valuable to help one adapt to the dynamics of fighting. The best way to demonstrate if the principles are effective is full contact fighting. In that way, one can discard the elements that don't work and keep those that do. Ultimately, each individual will find his/her own truth in combat.

[@arfandroid6729]

TheMagnificentPower took the words out of my mouth! Completely agree!

[@JMLockpicking]

Nice video... One regret I have is not buying a book buy Ted Wong on JKD. I think that book had the Original JKD in it. I think and could be wrong but Bruce wanted his students to learn ideas.and concepts and then come up with there own style JKD Concepts. Use whatever Martial Arts you have around you and strip it down (using JKD principals) to what's effective for you and your area. I studied Hapkido for many years but when I started JKD... I looked at the four ranges and used only a couple techniques in each range. Kicking; Front, Side, and Round all low below the belt. Hand; Dirty Western Boxing, Eye gouge, Jab and Cross. Trapping; Thai Boxing, and Grapple; Jiu Jitsu. Nice video again wrote my term paper on this in college. The professor only thought Bruce was an actor and didn't know he created an Martial Art.

[@arfandroid6729]

jmmurdy wow...your professor needs to broaden his knowledge! Lol...

[@theodorewurz8424]

He didn't create a martial art ; )

[@carltonholdenwriter4140]

Enjoyed this, Dan. I think The Warrior Within broke it down for me: Bruce seemed to take both views you presented so creatively: You can take techniques as you would individual fruits or blend them. He seemed big on pure intuition and opposed to overthinking (which is compounded with a whole lot of useful head knowledge you mentioned). It was about feeling what the situation dictated and then acting without hesitation. That works powerfully, even in mundane things. Life really is about that pure self-awareness and self-control that martial arts teaches, thus the saying I heard more than once that 'our whole life is kung fu'

[@tamaolemolioleava684]

Principles. Simple is complex.

[@mokyan7]

I did not realise there were 2 paths of JKD thought. Having studied wing chun a while, I like the idea of learning the principles and techniques first, I suppose that is the classic way, then as you internalise them you can build on it and adapt it to your body, mindset, etc. Like with triangle stance, I asked sifu why do people think you use that to fight as it has horrible mobility? He said that the triangle stance builds structure, strength, teaches you to lower your center of gravity, practice rotation and drilling, etc. Then when fighting you use the Chum kiu stance, very much like boxing stance, so you can blend quick mobility and lightness while then also blending in the good rooting you already trained. So the “patience, grasshopper “ mindset. I suppose if you only did concepts you could have a hodgepodge of who knows what, so I like the blend, and always keep learning. Great to see you and Octavio again, what an awesome channel.

[@arfandroid6729]

Hey bro Dan...I am with you on this...and honestly I don't exaggerate the 'difference' between them...as you aptly said what's important is that we apply the positivity that Bruce embodied to all his direct or indirect (like us) students and just be like water. Your understanding of having 'just one move' for the sake of simplicity and effectiveness, actually is applying JKD which BL applies on himself...again, I am with you on this... As Bruce said 'There is brilliance in simplicity' can be found on how he formed and applied the 1inch-3inch punch, whereas when it is explored, it is derived from the Wing chun snap punch, Jack Dempsey's floating punch, the Boxers Jab (this is a hint to all you dissers who says that the 1inch punch is just a push) and the Fencing footwork... all these complicated moves combined into one simplified punch called the 1inch 3 inch punch. Now thats Bruce's genius at work to me, waay ahead 30 years of his time back then. I am glad to have found you, another Bruce 'indirect' students here on KZbin...although you've been more lucky to have studied under the original JKD student Sifu Ted Wong. All the best to you my friend.

[@AstenRegisTheFlipside]

Bruce Lee evolved his thought and philosophy on martial arts training and JKD towards the concept of using what's useful and rejecting what's useless. It was about principles, not training in a specific way. Agree with what the Sifu said. It's all about adapting to your opponent. Great video.

I feel jkd is something that should keep all base techniques from original jkd but then continue to enhace and add different styles to it and in that process also remove all unnecessary movements or thoughts and by combining both jkd concepts and original jkd i have been inspired to create my own martial art Baki

[@smesh141]

Bruce was not incorporating techniques from other styles to jkd. If you take technique from one martial art and put it into another martial art, you messes up structure of the style. People can do whatever they want, but concepts is not jkd, it's just some mma oriented creation of Inosanto.

[@walbertiusmorerius1245]

I think the original JKD was what Bruce Lee taught until he died. In a way, it was a "style", as there were a set of tools, techniques, principles. Although not limited to that. JKD Concepts are concepts taken from the original, which can be applied to one or more martial arts. Concepts such as simplicity, being direct, effective, saving movements, discarding what is useless and adding what is uniquely yours.

[@merlin5420]

‘So what might have started off as some sort of personal fluidity on the part of the founder has now become solidified, fixed knowledge-organised and classified responses presented in logical order.

Do I have to agree with it or agree it will work in a real confrontation, not at all. But I can respect a journey.

[@prokanalik]

I believe that the most important thing in JKD practice is to be able to kick and punch and also do whatever technique is needed at the moment to win the fight without hurting anybody as much as possible and if possible. I also think that as long as it is fun for you you can learn whatever - concept or original, weapons or just the hands.. As long as it's something you enjoy to do and study - it's all ok to me :)

[@GabrielToribioMonsta]

JKD was Bruce's personal path to fighting. It was the way of intercepting first. Basically it was a style of timed counter attacking to almost guarantee a successful attack. Bruce realized that openings were more prevalent when opponents are attacking, so you should counter with your attack when a person is attacking or advancing towards you. It's a definite style all onto him. He was fast and explosive so that method worked best into him, as he often had the speed and fitness advantage over his opponents or partners. People over think it. It was his style. I think Bruce advocated that everyone find their own style that's best for them. A punch is a punch, a kick is a kick; fighting is fighting, and the general basis is all the same; but as to what methodology works best per individual is almost as unique as a fingerprint because everyone has attributes unique into themselves. Bruce was fast and explosive; so intercepting with a counter was the style that was best attributed onto him.

[@jovanleon7]

Gabriel Toribio Your right about the intercepting way, but wrong about it's only meant for Bruce. You totally missed the name. If there's something to vary from person to person, it's definitely not the way of intercepting, because that's the very essence of JKD. I wholly agree with Bruce. Intercepting is the most effective and efficient way in combat.

Both sides of the discussion are correct for different reasons. Original should be preserved and taught as is even if only purely for historical record. Conceptual practice should be engaged in for obvious reasons. Fighting isn't without purpose. Therefore, one's fighting technique should address that at all costs.

[@TeslaRules1856]

What Sijo Lee was teaching at the time of his Death, what about what he was teaching a year before that? and 4 years before that? and 8 years? Wing Chun, Jun Fan, JKD ? his Seattle school? his Oakland school ? and..... you see he was constantly studying new things - other martial arts, what worked for him, and moving forward. His art was never "set" or fixed in one form. So we can all agree if he had lived on - it would have continued to evolve. People just debate that what some of his students continued to explore -or incorporate - would have been what he would have done - so instead of debating some just pick and stay with where he was at - at the time of his death. Does not matter because it was about your personal growth in practical fighting.

He Eat live and sleep Martial Arts. The average person is not willing to go as far as Bruce did. I think it comes down to what works for you. That's why you have Specialist like Cardiologist. Because they can do special things, when when it comes to a heart. Unlike other types of Doctors.

[@vaibhavpdspune4489]

[@jeetkunedophysiologymore4221]

I think JKD concepts are MUCH more beneficial ESPECIALLY since JKD is all about "No Way as Way" meaning take what benefits you and discard the rest. Also, by setting certain ways of doin things (i.e. punching certain way or certain moves only) this also puts limits on your Spirit. And your Spirit can set your mind and body free..just as long as it is also limitless.

I don't suggest Forex until you are making $325K a year. Watch this video to know more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npvKf2CBlMdqpM0

Exatamente Jeet Kune Do é evolução, não pode ser a mesma coisa de 30/40 anos atrás.. Original e conceitos andam juntos!!

[@batmanwholaughs555]

i just realise i dont like blocking attacking in jkd but to attack the opponent , attack the opponent the meant i learn art of dying in jkd . My jkd has no defense but attack the opponent

[@KUNAL785]

I'm the student of Sifu Santanu Roy,student of sigung Joaquin Marcelo...who has trained original jkd under legend Ted WONG and trained JKD CONCEPTS by legend Dan inosanto.

[@ff-ww7uj]

Hi Dan,what is a good way to grab a stronger attacker from the back and get them off of somebody else,and can we get some more detail about how to defend being attacked from the back?please??😉

[@DanLok]

Laura, maybe I will make a video on it.

[@Phyxius_Debello]

There is so much to learn in jkd and I'm finding out that more and more are reverting to the boxing side of jkd over the wing Chun.. We still proactive the wing Chun style at the very end of the class for maybe 20 minutes.. The rest of the time is a lot of boxing inspirations and practicing the pendulum kicks to the groin. This is someone who is certified to teach by Dan Inosanto 4th Gen I guess? Since this trainer learned from his master who learned with inosanto So I don't know if it's original or concept.. But I've noticed a difference in the way you intercept the punch vs the way he makes us. Maybe it's si. Ply because I'm new to this teacher. But he's more prone to box and Bob and weave then punch over intercepting the punch like you showed in the videos.. Which is the right way? Don't think there is, just what works best.

Love this video..

[@FireyPheonix841]

I honestly like both for my own personal reasons I'm highly aware that there is some benefits to both OJKD and JKDC

[@harshvardhankadel2972]

Is master in JKD is also called sifu????

[@gabrielconsoli5613]

Hei Dan! I am not very familiar with martial arts, but I thing we can use the princeples and apply is a good way...

[@alitheialithei7704]

Exactly Sifu Octavio. JKD is about principles(simplicity, economy of motion etc) and according to these principles we use our body to defeat opponent. I think that from these Bruce created his simple movements etc. JKD its not mixed martial art(concepts) or moving like Bruce Lee moved and if not its bad(original).

[@harundedic5546]

I think it's better to know more martial arts then just a one.

[@JakeM751]

I believe that this debate could be finished with the, "Way of Water". All of this ego, hatred, and, negative mindset needs discipline in a spiritual sense.

[@chavalperezperez3738]

thanks for that demostration boht master 👌👍

[@catitonavarro]

Exactly! It's the principles of being simple, direct and non-classical as well as being in all styles but not of them and having no limitation as limitation. The principles are the key in that it doesn't matter if we're striking or grappling, weapons etc we as practitioners have to find the shortest and most effective route, and that can be in any movement that accomplishes that principal. It's not about styles or systems but truth. That's my understanding or the way I practice Jeet Kune Do.

[@smesh141]

The truth is that concepts is not jkd. Packing hundreds of techniques into one system and calling it jkd is ridiculous, this is not what Bruce was doing and teaching.

[@RUNNINGWATER]

Bruce Lee my idol!

[@sushanlee8161]

Everyone's body structure is different so I would like to go with the concepts

[@ahsl]

"science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind" ... and so it is with martial arts

[@Andrew_JKD]

I think the original JKD and JKD concepts shouldn't have resistance. It is 2 parts of a whole thing. "Be water, my friend"
