Fixing my JKD Energy Drill | ft Icy Mike from

[@franklinnose]

Paul Vunak's KZbin video on this drill is probably the most comprehensive I've seen so far. It's from the early 1990s but is still OUTSTANDING.

[@jomess7879]

The my first karate instructor had also done wing Chun and so we did chi sao a lot, probably not "correctly" but we did it. I left that school and am not doing BJJ. I use chi sao all the time there now. It was fun but I didn't really understand it until I got into grappling and it all made sense then. Enjoyed the video.

[@martialartsunlimited01]

So you have moved over to the Dark side and started grappling. I think it is super important, especially to be well rounded.

[@KarateTVtraditional]

Awesome video sir

[@martialartsunlimited01]

Thanks you, and thanks for the comment

[@kidddogbites]

I love seeing Mikes eyes open up more to JKD things

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Same!

[@martialartsunlimited01]

Yeah, I agree. He's also quite grounded in his logic which is cool too

[@kamenwaticlients]

Everything Mike enters the frame of any video I think to myself " wolverine has entered the fight"

[@martialartsunlimited01]

Oh man, next ill put that old wild west sound effect in, when he comes on-screen

Thanks, and thanks for the comment

[@bigc5630]

I love these colabs!!!

[@martialartsunlimited01]

Thanks, they are a lot of fun

[@dennismichelklein3003]

That was entirely wing tzun xD But it's good to see how much that art influenced JKD. I love your videos, hard2hurt, metrolina martial arts and third I have still to watch 😂

[@martialartsunlimited01]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ondrasvoboda4512]

That bodyshot really messed his hand up damn

[@martialartsunlimited01]

Alol, let Ed's sacrifice serve as a warning to us all.

[@justinsnow3979]

It’s one drill, for connection and sensitivity training. Also showing you how to block and stick with your forearm/elbow. Good stuff!

[@martialartsunlimited01]

Taken out of context many things don't make sense, yet once we see the bigger picture, those individual pieces are essential. Thanks for watching and for commenting.

[@drummachine5787]

I feel like mike is slowly coming around to traditional martial arts lol

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Me too lol

[@martialartsunlimited01]

I too agree

[@NandoWasabi]

I worked in mental health for 20 years and been attack by individuals. Does Wing Chun work yes , but not the way you think it does. Wing Chun helps you have a natural way of blocking and redirecting attack in natural way. You don’t have time to think about what your going to do but only react. The technique that I used where Pak Sao to deflect punch and then control the wrist. I used Bong Sao for over head attacks. I used Huen Sao when they were trying to grab my arms or wrist. Wing Chun is not going to win any ufc fights but it will teach you how to protect your gates, deflect and control.

[@martialartsunlimited01]

Yeah that is what I think we were trying to convey at the end. That we don't necessarily fight these ways, yet it develops attributes that are used in fighting. Great comment, thanks

[@willowelizabethryder4141]

Great video! I love that Mike can make fun of stuff but still try it out with an open mind and absorb what is useful from it! Also, great question JD, the traditional wing Chun low blocks feel weird and the boxing style elbow drop seems much stronger so it was great to see y'all work through this drill with both blocks

[@martialartsunlimited01]

Thanks it was a lot of fun to make, thanks for watch and for taking time to comment. Mike is using the JKD way.

[@johnwick9765]

Haha. Completely off with the whole idea of lap sao. Too fkn funny 🤣🤣🤣

[@martialartsunlimited01]

I was fun, we will be doing a few more in a couple weeks.

[@johnwick9765]

@@martialartsunlimited01 how about you don't. Just stick to "fighting" lol

[@sagerbomb48]

Simple answer for dropping your hand to your waist so you can your grab a weapon, then strike. This soft hands stuff makes more sense with knifes.

[@martialartsunlimited01]

Yes, Ed talks about that in kzbin.info/www/bejne/omK2hJWCeLOLp9k

[@lawrencecrayton9844]

Let's see you teach Mike chi sao lol

[@martialartsunlimited01]

That would be great

[@boereburger6762]

I often grapple with eyes closed to feel and respond to energy and try get a submission. Difficult in begining, but now easier, and it improved my game because i dont always see the possibilities, but actualy now feel it. Bjj is a system that relies on same sensitivity for submissions. Every system has SOMETHING to offer, use what works and reject what does not, but first explore with open mind, biasses has caused me to loose out a lot.

[@martialartsunlimited01]

Very true, I used to roll with a blindfold, but closed eyes does same thing. And yes, take what works for you from all areas.
