Great examination!

[@paradox636]

It's really interesting that trapping, extended guards and a bunch of other things coming into UFC. It's funny because people like fight tips and other mma/bjj guys said would never work. It's really interesting to get confirmation that the techniques work.

[@Shrapnel82]

I've practiced jeet kune do for several years, including sparring most every class. We were taught early on about helmet blocks, and I had good results with getting in close when the opponent is blocking, and either jamming up the gloves with one arm, and pulling them out of the way for a strike, or pushing them down. I found that blocking only worked when moving. If I just held my hands up to block, it wouldn't last long before I got hit. Instead, I could block and push forward, which often put the other person off balance, or just jammed their punches.

That blocking was used by George Foreman and Dustin Poirier. It is extremely useful.

[@i3i2i4N]

In my opinion, 1st and 2nd moves are wing chun lahp. 2nd is traditional/standard. 1st is same but mirrored stance. Your 1st Connor mcgregor explanation just looks like a wing chun pahk. Totally different. 3rd move just looks like wing chun pressing/pinning but two hands, then elbowing. Don't see the point of elbowing their guard. I would think it better to strike/slip through/under the guard. Again, just my opinion.

[@kzr4858]

An uncle of mine who knows jkd I mean I was sparring with him one day and my lead jab was rendered useless he bashed my face in. Awesome video it really shows how to attack and breach the defence 👍

[@Djent7779]

when you are trapping and using "stickyhand" you never want to let go, you always want to keep contact with the opponent, its like grip fighting in judo and bjj

[@FightCommentary]

Interesting. That's not what the original video showed, but maybe we'll test your interpretation in the future. Thanks for the comment!

[@trapsoulbliss]

jeet kune do works if you block your chin with your shoulder while trapping! and mix it with boxing footwork and head movement and the art of the 8 limbs will help

[@integratedfightingarts]

The vertical fist makes a difference in these moves, and is why wc/jkd use it. Just like in grappling, the more you can tighten the spaces, the better. Also at close range, elbow pointing down increases the leverage of the punch. I personally like sneaking the vertical fist through the guard, hooking the arm with my glove or hand and ripping it down while punching with the other hand.

[@EliteBlackSash]

The first one... floyd and lomachenko use. Adesanya and Ferguson uses it to go into elbows too. Last one too.

[@kamilpawlowski6576]

For that first technique, when mirrored, I prefer to use the same hand that pulled the opponents hand down to then strike up to the head, especially from south paw. So my right hand pulls the opponents leading left down, and then if possible follows the contour of the opponents arm up the shoulder and to the face, or just bounces up to the face. Often I combine this with pulling my opponent close which takes some sauce of any left hand counter. Of course I have to make sure my left hand is in a good guard, or I'm going to eat a right hook.

[@elenchus]

I used to use that first and second "trap" (bring the arm down and come over) all the time in karate sparring. bros would get wise to it after i had some success and would lift their arm up to keep me from pulling it down, and then I'd take my shot under their arm. I think that the difference between the three basic techniques shown here, all of which are plausible, and what's taught in many martial arts, is that (A) they're initiated by the user, not relying on catching punches out of the air and (B) that the entire technique is a single step, following a shot. Techniques that require superhuman reaction time plus predictable, multi-step responses from the opponent are unlikely to work, but these require neither. In essence, they are no different than throwing a combination intended to open up the opponent.

[@ravenzetsu9979]

that flinch response reminds me of (if im not mistaken) the s.p.e.a.r. system... then the neutral stance at 10:10 reminds me of that self defense channel (forgot the name, i think its ross) where his neutral stance is like that because he is working as a bouncer... the jkd first move, i think i prefer to tap it or just quick drag down followed by a rear straight in a fast 1-2 speed, paired it up with good footwork like moving at the 45 degree to the side of your opponent...

[@zeeksthegoblin7564]

I thought Jerry was going to do the Michael Jackfu.

[@humbertoinfante9598]

if someone grabs your arm and pulls you do like Macgregor come in with your shoulder, another thing you can do get out of the angle follow the pull then change direction. you can also go down and grab a leg many options guys .

[@AlligatorAli]

After seeing Jon Jones, Tony Ferguson, Anderson Silva, Even Lomachenko's slap machine, I come to conclusion that these martial arts may have been very good at some point in history. But the way some martial arts were "kept secret or whatever" or only practiced by some elites was the reason of slowly eroding away of these styles. Unlike boxing or wrestling which was available to whoever wanted to practiced.

[@rickyteee]

Cuban boxers parry and punch with same hand. They clear one arm and punch over that arm. Roberto Duran was a master of trapping infighting

[@justalurker3489]

The first one is something I've done in sparring, mostly because I'm a southpaw so my lead hand tends to run into the left hand of an orthodox partner. I don't think it's something to always do though, because I think the best way to set it up is to make it look like a jab coming out, and once they know you're not actually planning on throwing jabs they aren't going to give you their lead hand so easily.

[@FightCommentary]

Thanks for sharing!

[@phoenixmountain]

The second one you cover is what Sifu Wong Jack Man did to Bruce Lee. He landed a hard blow to the side of Bruce's neck. Kajukenpo master Joe Davis, who was a student of Bruce, and Jimmy Lee said, "Bruce had a long bruise on the left side of his neck, and for many years I thought that it was the result of a kick." (Showdown in Oakland by Rick Wing) That was said (by David Chin, and Bill Chen) to be the hardest blow during their fight. Bruce had to reassess things after that.

[@FightCommentary]

So interesting!

[@Bartron_Flat_Earth]

@@phoenixmountain lol Already his WC was different at that time. He changed because Wong was running, and WC has not to much mobility

[@phoenixmountain]

@@Bartron_Flat_Earth Bruce said he was "running" because he wasn't able to land any punches. Wong was able to avoid his straight line attacks. Also, is that a reason to quit a style? If I'm a boxer and I can't hit the guy because he's running away should I quit boxing?

[@ronmiller3319]

Based on your movements and comments, neither one of you knows much Wing Chun or Jeet Kune Do, so neither one of you can make any of the motions work effectively and with proper sensitivity. Trapping is just an incidental application that follows when you form a "bridge" (your arm or leg contacts the opp arm or leg). You can create a bridge - for example, jab, then respond to the opp's counter with the bridge arm or the other one - or the bridge can occur naturally when one of you blocks or redirects the other. One old school belief about trapping is that you're not really trapping; trapping is really chain punching with the opp arm getting in the way and you clearing it (pushing, pulling, cutting, lifting, hooking, circling, dragging, etc.) with your next punch, which can be done with the same hand you first punch with or the other hand. Not saying Wing Chun or JKD is the greatest for MMA, but a number of MMA contenders have learned some Wing Chun or JKD to enhance their boxing skills. In JKD, trapping skills are not the primary focus when sparring - if your opp gives you the opportunity, you take it if that's your preference, but there are JKD folks who don't do any trapping when sparring.
