Hardcore JKD: Trapping: Deflect, Control, Hit

[@tigerdefensesystems]

Good to see you working on new videos Sifu.

[@mybluebreeze1995]

I like this Lamar. He's matured and calmed down in his old age, just teaching good material humbly, instead of the way he used to be with his atrociously arrogant website and internet comment wars back in the early/mid 2000s.

[@pjtheory]

Lamar Davis is one of the few JKD instructors who places an emphasis on the structure of all 3 periods (e.g., Seattle, Oakland, L.A. Chinatown) of Bruce Lee's fighting method. His ability to understand and demonstrate the finer points (e.g., Lop Sao grip) of the tools of JKD is extremely impressive.

[@therealawakener7]

He's actually just a closet WC man stuck in the 'classical mess.'

[@pjtheory]

@@therealawakener7 Ah, no. Davis was certified as a JKD instructor from not one, not two, but THREE (e.g., Leo Fong, Steve Golden, and Jerry Poteet) of Bruce Lee's original JKD students. Fong convinced Bruce to add Boxing to his fighting method and both Golden/Poteet trained at Lee's L.A./Chinatown school. Speaking of the L.A./Chinatown school, there was a famous group color photograph taken at that school which included Bruce Lee, Dan Lee, Bob Bremer, and, yes, Steve Golden and Jerry Poteet.

@@pjtheory what's your point?

[@pjtheory]

@@therealawakener7 That your claim lacks merit.

[@therealawakener7]

@@pjtheory He's been peddling his fucking stupid wing arm lop Sao bollocks for years now. If he got wet sparring regularly he'd know that it doesn't work, people do not leave their arms out in thin air for you to grab. He wouldn't be able to do this shite on any good puncher who snaps their strike back, and shortens the arc of the return. YOU! Should also know this simple truth if you were contact sparring, and it appears that you don't so what's the point? Oh, and yes, everything I have to say on the subject of JKD holds fucking merit, trust me, I don't talk out of my arse. .

Backfist lands on boxer. Boxer barely blinks. Boxer lands crushing right hook onto your jaw. You wake up sometime later. Just so open and exposed, a backfist used like that has little impact.

[@corywheeldon1538]

You dont do a backfist and just stand there you do over things with it

[@Brandon-sb3nw]

Cory Wheeldon Yea this dudes a clown

[@kobiesboxing4956]

The 2 positive things I took away from this video was not any of the techniques, but instead I took away 2 rules or principles to follow in martial arts. One rule is to bring together several movements into one motion, and the 2nd principle is to not over commit to a particular move so you can easily transition to another move. In which I know of these rules, but this better confirms it while better instilling it in my mind.

[@sifpaulfernandezthewingchundao]

Hey Lamar, I'm Paul I subbed, I just found out that I believe we're on the same platform together with our university courses. Just came to steal some ideas. Lol just Jokin I'm a terrible presenter. Take care all the best from Italy

[@nylezfuller4746]

Your technique is incredible

[@serenityinside1]

It really isn’t.

[@raygsbrelcik5578]

The Wing Chun concept is indeed, a great approach to getting a "Feel" for your attacker/opponents strikes; But there's NO doubt, unless a person is Extremely proficient in WC, you're just gonna' get yourself in a bunch of trouble in a "Street" situation. Nobody seems willing to MENTION that. Although WC is a very good Foundation, I find, that if you possess good Boxing skills, inclu- ing, "Bobbing, Weaving, Ducking---and good Lateral" movement, You have an advantage right from the start. So, while you're trying to improve your Wing Chun skills, spend a good amount of time simply punching from various angles; and Teach your legs, and your Waist area to function in Consort with One another for Optimum footwork, and Evasive maneuvers.

[@alspeers6931]

Yes its true that MMA guys,Boxers,Mui Tai,Kickboxing guys, Competitive Wrestling guys etc ie pro fighter s, are by far the most powerful, skilled, and dangerous humans in in real fight, but its still unwise to complete ly underestimate many gangster characters with multiple street fights and vicious violent street fight battles, they are not all fools and many have the ability to really Take a Punch ie Kimbo Slice,who would smash 95 percent of trained martial arts Masters, ie minimal training and expertise, but maximum dangerous crazy toughness and fearless warrior ability

[@derekowen3731]

Thanks for the knowledge Sifu!

[@rockyl9120]

Grab hold with front hand (to control & feel where attacker is) and punch as hard and fast to the chin as many times it takes to drop attacker.

[@MrJoemuck]

Good stuff. Love it.. Great detail .. Super video quality.

[@brennanroglich9886]

awesome jkd sir i cant wait till i get to train hamilton jkd ive done wing chun for years

[@raymondcoolen1720]

This is a beautiful technique, but this only works if your attacker punches like in the video (like in Win Chung). The problem is that in a street fight 99.9% of the attackers will not punch like this, so this will not work in a street fight.

[@metalrobot3000]

Stfu you sound retarded ps. It’s wing chun btw atleast learn how to spell the art

[@marklawrence855]

As you get better and better, you won't do this movement as much 💯

[@Shubham-kw8pz]

[@AjaychinuShah]

Yes, but Grab on shoulders is thumbless (pronates?orsupinate?).

[@jimmykaming]

you see the sifu stands sideways in jkd as different from wing Chun. that is Bruce Lee refined wing Chun.

[@irfanahmed9112]

What z difference between wingchun ng Jet kon do?

[@basedpatriot4982]

Anyone can be a master when they fight in slow motion on a stationary opponent. There’s so much of JKD that is not practical or realistic. It only works if the person punches in slow motion and stand still.

The term bong sao comes from the sound his fist makes when it hits you in the forehead when you try this against a boxer!

[@helwinperez6956]

me encantaria aprenderlo me encantan las artes marciales y ademas las artes marciales son para defenderse no para golpear y robar a la gente

[@AjaychinuShah]

Lop Sao, to me thumbless is great too! But if you want to transition into Jiu Jitsu during fight mode and have little more fun than, just striking back and forth like a piñata, then instead do a Thumbful-lop-sao. Personally, I think thee Lop Sao is actually Thumbless so I can let him go and toy with him like a Mexican Piñata, and just practice controlling them while remaining laid back and enjoy the process.

[@AjaychinuShah]

Perhaps, the Thumbless is after Kali, after Arnis even, in Knife Fighting? Pretty counter-intuitive though

[@AjaychinuShah]

In Ping Pong, thumbless grip is common in Eastern Asian competitors. It's fundamentals would be useful in this scenario as well.

[@Menyhard]

Iam 52 years old and still train. Do you ever. Throw any kicks

[@chiamoua562]

One inche punch 👊, wind cuts, 6 kicks in second is the must Unstoppable real move. Learn that 3 skills you will be able to achieve.

[@OldManFrank]

*...but, Lamar, have you actually stress tested these moves against people not from your gym? I have to assume you have not because, you would know how hard it is to 'catch' a hand/arm - plus your fine motor skills of your hands and fingers are great impacted when you introduce stress and adrenaline. I watched Bruce's sparring video recently and I do not recall him using trapping...I believe it was all straight blast lead hand and lead leg followed up with counter shots - no to very, very minimal trapping. I can appreciate your art but, I don't believe it's practice in a real fight.*

[@nopeace3689]

that's probably because Bruce Lee study five different martial arts dude and practice five different martial arts to develop his own so he had a quite developed background in fighting and on top of that he had experience before sorry the whole point of this video is to get you used to what you have to do to get your brain to do it by ultra instinct so when starring happens or you do have to fight you do it without thinking.

[@frillbee]

this guy been takeing lessons from William Cheung Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu (bruce lee)

[@daltonscrazyworld8004]

Would not work against a person who knows how to fight. There’s no power in that type of backhand. But it’s good to see older people working out some.

[@bronzetiger3837]

good observation the attacker throws the shot with no energy no body weight no intensity ,you will never pull anything as silly as this off in a adrenline induced encounter, again learn what works against trained fighters who jab throw a jab correctly. you are the way you train , train for realism or not at all .

[@Zen-jc2ov]

The last minute of the video about the commited fingers on the grip is unnecessary overthinking. Also, there are much more effective ways of dealing with a punch than bong sao...this is more wing chun, not JKD.

[@9usuck0]

I think you misunderstand what grab means. Or maybe I don't know who's making the argument. Bruce never grabbed. He used his thumbs in that fist but it was more like locking a wrench and not gripping. If that makes sense. Lol

[@9usuck0]

He never squeezed.

[@therealawakener7]

That's the problem herein for dear old Sifu Davies and its this, it can NEVER be ONE move. You can do the 2 passive motions in this WC (not JKD) move simultaneously but, the strike is actually always a secondary beat, ie, a secondary manoeuvre. This is not even 'Lin Sil Di Dar'. This technique is flawed because the lead hand defends and doesn't riposte. Also any good striker wouldn't leave their arm out long enough for this to happen, punching is crisp and fast, and in JKD one should be shortening the arc of the return so the opponent would never mechanically be able to inside Lop Sao the strikers arm as it would be rapidly moving away fron the Wu Sau hand. So again this supposed JKD technique is about as useful today to practice for a JKD student as a flying side kick is to a karateka for dismounting a Samurai on horseback outside a Sainsbury's. This is clearly, "ART FOR ARTS SAKE, MONEY FOR GOD'S SAKE"

lets see this work in sparring against anyone that isnt your student hahahaha

[@sweynforkbeard8857]

I've tried learning this and never been able to pull this stuff off against a resisting opponent that's moving. More "phone booth" Kung Fu. If you can watch them actually spar, it all rapidly breaks down into bad kickboxing. Look at where the person on the left has his right hand the entire time. That grab had better totally close off that line of attack, otherwise you are getting a straight right to the face, that will actually block the backfist. I like the boxer (or was it Nathan Bedford Forest) that said "Get there the firstist with the mostist", that seems to be better advice.

[@AjaychinuShah]

Have Absolute Pride you’ll not land punch on me in MPA.

[@perrypelican9476]

Of course the goal is to end the fight ASAP. Do you train for sport or no rules end it the most efficient way? I guess it's a stupid question because you are not in shape for sport. No disrespect meant. How important do you think it is to be fit as a martial artist? I think it's vital. If you are not in aerobic shape, everything else suffers; your reflexes, and especially ability to last for more than a few strikes. Bruce Lee's main thing was to do what's best for you. You are far from a Bruce Lee type of fighter so analyzing his training may not be great for you. Just my thoughts.

[@SteveMe21685]

Ok. But the best boxing trainers in the world aren’t in shape. Mike Tyson’s trainer in the beginning was old and fat. Should he not train someone else because he’s not in shape? That doesn’t make any sense to me

[@basedpatriot4982]

Mike Tyson‘s trainer would never claim he could get in the ring and box somebody. Fat old men like these JKD sifus are claiming that they are able to currently do everything that they are preparing the students for. Not that his endurance would matter because his ass would be knocked out within 10 seconds in a real fight because he tried to do his little chicken wing chung lop bong noodle finger poke death grab and get his ass handed to him.
