JKD is not a style or system. Nobody can simply copy someone elses way of moving. The JKD hobbyist completely miss the point.

[@MatthewParksSr]

It is an incomplete system. Bruce Lee died before he could set up the teaching methodology. Hnever certified anyone in the system, nor to teach the system. He was a Wing Chun prodigy, that never completed the system from Ip Man.

[@Tigrethetiger]

Literally what the guys are doing in mma is what JKD is suppose to look like

[@MatthewParksSr]

@@Tigrethetiger I would say it the opposite. Bruce Lee created JKD supplement weaknesses that he identified in Wing Chun. So he took a years and studied multiple martial arts with respective experts. He broke them down and corporated them into a cohesive system. It was the first mixed martial art. MMA came out of the UFC because Grace incorporated rules against strikers that gave grapplers advantages. It worked for the first couple tournaments until strikers figure it out that they don't need to go to the ground. Wrestlers figured out how to counter BJJ. It was evolution. So BJJ fighter started to learn how to stand up and strike strikers learn how to grapple but there was no true cohesive method to do that. Bruce Lee studied those other martial arts for years. The JKD system is complete and tested, but Bruce Lee never certified anyone to teach it. That was what I was saying. It is certainly more complete than MMA, and their is not true standard.

[@KlngVJames]

I get it but he was just showing what to look for. Allowing you to make up your mind on the fly in the fight.

[@joelpollardjkd]

@KlngVJames thank you! Some one gets it!

Someone once told me eye jabs don’t work 😂 I’m sure all of us have been accidentally grazed in the eyes or gotten something in our eyes. Doesn’t take much to injure the eyes.

[@axelstone3131]

@@fuckheinschitt239haha yes it is. I’ve been hit in the eye, walked into things etc. also kicked in balls/walked into things. You can’t do anything when either of those things happen. You are incapacitated.

[@filipkogut8533]

This is literally what Bruce Lee argued to avoid. Learning continues steps of what to do. He said to be like water so it all depends on the circumstances and the opponent.

[@joelpollardjkd]

Your right, so how do you put all that in a youtube video to a dude who doesn't do JKD and is a beginner in martialarts??? You can't. Or the video is gonna be an hour long (which is what i plan on doing) but then it will only get 5 views

[@filipkogut8533]

@@joelpollardjkd exactly, you can't. That's why the video is useless.

[@joelpollardjkd]

Me and a lot of people would disagree that this video is useless. That's like saying where is your video on JKD lol

[@filipkogut8533]

@@joelpollardjkd what?

[@Gongolongo]

Video is totally not useless. This demonstrates what HE would do. You can take this and apply it to YOUR own system and figure out what works for you. That's JKD.

[@ericpetteway3841]

The “fight” started when the aggressor decided to approach, the response happened when you recognized the aggressor intent

[@NCBotany]

This is Wing Chun and I live for this. An overhand elbow would just starch him cold. Arrow elbows are nice. Happy Hunting!

[@ToxicHwoarang]

Best way to engage when they approach you head on like that with a square stance is a heel style teep kick (push kick) to the upper thigh as close to the opponents center of gravity as you can (their hips) with as much power as you can reasonably spare. If they don't fall back their femur is going to have a bad time. Jkd is very good. I use it as a tkd boxer self styled practitioner myself. Keep up the good work

[@joelpollardjkd]

Thank you very much, good tip

[@ToxicHwoarang]

@@joelpollardjkd thank you and also for your video

[@anthonygerber8261]

Never let him get that close. Distance management sir

[@SuperMaryu767]

At first watching this I thought "okay some real jkd." then I saw the rear "front" kick and the chain punching and found that nope this is not the jkd that Bruce evolved from 1969 onward.

[@joelpollardjkd]

But it worked did it?! Isn't that the point of JKD

[@SuperMaryu767]

@joelpollardjkd JKD is not about using anything that "can" work. Bruce found the chain punching and using uneconomical techniques like using the rear leg to kick ineffective and used the closest weapon to nearest target along with the 3 main principles. Bruce around 1969 started to remove wing chun entirely at this point according to Ted Wong who practiced with Bruce and saw that he started to excel since he wasn’t bound to outdated ideas.

[@joelpollardjkd]

Ok then, tell me what a Straight Blast is and why it was one of his favorite go to moves in an actual fight. The ENTIRE point of JKD the philosophy to adapt to your opponents and to only use tools that are effective and work. When I used the straight blast (you called it a chain punch) it worked, and in that hard sparring session I only used it once, because I saw it would work, and it did. That's JKD, I didn't force it but he gave me the opportunity to use it.

[@joelpollardjkd]

​@SuperMaryu767 Since your "clearly" the JKD expert, let's see a video of YOU hard sparring somebody that ACTUALLY trying to hurt you. Let's see if your "JKD" works. Cause we both should that JKD is meant for real fights, so if You can't fight, then you don't even know what JKD is.

[@SuperMaryu767]

@@joelpollardjkd I never thought of myself as an expert but whatever, I’m going by the facts that when Bruce did hard sparring like one would expect on the street, he found the wing chun techniques ineffective and focused more on boxing and fencing. Ted Wong was present during the later development of jkd and saw that when Bruce discarded wing chun he was doing much better. Dan Inosanto was shown the later developed jkd by Bruce and described it as "more like boxing and kickboxing then anything else. kareem abdul jabbar described it more like a boxing style then anything else. You can see in the later vids of Bruce doing more boxing stuff then wing chun since it is not effective and more complicated. Just because something worked once doesn’t mean it’s effective.

[@wenapse1639]

Ok, first, you could have ended the fight after the finger jab in the eyes by following with a nice overhang. Second, the opponent was a perfect candidate for a wrestling takedown. In the street that is instant KO

[@Boxingjkdnunchucksbostaff]

Straight punch or elbow strikes or backfist

[@MartialArtsMoves]

*I agree that the straight lead is more effective than throwing an eye jab which may not hit the eyes properly. The straight lead is likely to do some stunning or even damage and easier to follow up with something else then.*

[@runeterrahikayeleri]

They chose a black man as the attacker to make it more realistic.

[@jayhernandez5508]

Nice work. Jkd for life!

[@JeffreyParker-ok5ed]

Whoever said groin kicks don't work? Is absurd. I have been kicked in the balls before. It hurts like a mother fker! As for planting a good knee cap kick. It takes practice and precision. You kick above the knee It will cause their knee cap to snap backward

[@Rohan_Sn]

have you been groin kicked mid fight b4? its more of like a oof then u barely feel it. But yeah outside of the adrenaline rush feels like your organs being crushed

[@JeffreyParker-ok5ed]

That's BS. When people say Adrenaline rush. They don t feel any pain at all? I don't believe that for a second. From my little humble experience My Adrenaline was rushing in alright. But guess what? I went from nothing can stop me, to urggghh. I don't think I was feeling that Marvin Gaye, sexual healing moment

[@Rohan_Sn]

@@JeffreyParker-ok5ed Maybe the guy who kicked you was a specialist in cock and ball torture. But afaik ive gotten kicked and i have kicked and punched some groins and it barely fazed anyone, but obvious never at full force.

[@axelstone3131]

@@JeffreyParker-ok5ed😂 the adrenaline stuff is such bs. It doesn’t switch off pain. Your balls and eyes are just as vulnerable during an adrenaline rush. This stuff works for a reason and it’s banned in sport for a reason. These guys are comedians and don’t even know it

[@JeffreyParker-ok5ed]

@axelstone3131 OMG, Axel. We speak the same language. My friend, we live in the delusional MMA world, and it s fellow audience. Known as the untrained smack talking keyboard warriors. That never and never will go find a place to trained martial arts. They just like to sit on their computer chair, and waste typing time on mommy's little keyboards.

[@nguyenn99527]

If you perform eye jabs in UFC, you’d get disqualified but I can see using it on home intruder who invades my property.

[@Gustavo-ArtesMarciais]

Very good ☯️

[@dockilat8722]

too late , you allow an attacker to push you? what if that was actually a punch ? wasted opportunity.

[@MartinJutras]

Finger jab? A bit intense. Sidekicks in the shin, not kneecap.

[@joshualeon9626]

Or you could just use teeps and the 1-2s. That always worked with me. Also is JKD really that affective? Because that kneecap kick won’t do much and groin kicks really don’t hurt when the adrenaline rush is going through. I would know from experience. The best spot to hit to stun people is the nose so shouldn’t you jab cross to their nose to avoid any further damage?

[@combatsportlover6919]

Tell Jon Jones the kneecap kick won't do much. You know there are calls to have it banned in the UFC right.

🤣 groin kicks don’t work when you’re adrenalised? lol. No man who has taken a clean shot to the balls is doing anything. I speak from experience also. You are incapacitated and out. And kicking to the knee is banned in sport for a reason. It’s very easy to damage the knee.

There is no winning in a street fight, it's just a vicious cycle which gets dragged on with increasing intensity, numbers and objects utilised, till some grownups moderates it, gets into legal consequences or something really really bad happens (a death or permanent disability, unless lucky enough to have few people hospitalised and rest backing up)
