The only real legit JKD instructor who trained with Ted Wong and Jesse Glover. Compared to his age, he's way faster than most of us in our early 20's to mid 20's.

This man has used his jeet kune do while beeing a bouncer he is one of the real masters of jeet kune do . Love this man

Very inspiring, Sifu Tommy!

[@michaelloria69]

Love seeing the best work. Thanks Tommy!

[@iammichael1094]

Thumbs down?....Probably the people still stuck in classical wing chun JKD....remember Bruce threw that crap away. Simplicity is less training. Imagine all those wasted hours trying to learn hand traps, flows, and counters. Bruce said a good boxer would just move and outclass the wing chun person as Tommy here demonstrates. Beautiful video! Thanks for the lesson....keep them coming.

[@aquiredskill]

Very right

[@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO]

That's incorrect, he did threw WC away, and he never went bac to WSL except twice once in the 60 and once in the 70 and in the 70s, reportedly WSL couldn't touch him during a sparring session. Yes he analysed other stiles, but did not trained them like people think, or just took pieces form here to there.

[@Octavus5]

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO Did Bruce really throw WC trapping away? Or did he find that he didn't need it (most of the time) because he was just that good? If you're really good compared to your opponent, why would you trap? You wouldn't. You don't need to. Just go straight for the target and finish it. But if you're not that good/fast/quick, then arguably you need a fall-back. Maybe that's where trapping and the rest of the traditional repertoire comes in?

[@mjp-bi3re]

Absolutely awesome. I love all your videos. The Scottish accent makes it seem like I am getting martial arts instruction from a member of AC/DC, which is my favorite band. Blessings.

[@claud1961]

Well! I have been interested in the combative arts since 1979, and have trained both formally and with whoever I could find. I had given up on the eye jab as something with limited value since a punch would serve you better- or so I thought. Tommy here just made me realize it is the same as using a low kick to close the gap. Who doesn't flinch and overreact when they get poked in the eye?

[@treidchimney]

same here since i was a wee boy always been fascinated with bruce and jeet kune do

[@millsshumps1968]

F**k me he's still got the speed (left hand eye jab at 01:14-01:15 Wasn't expecting him to still have the movement and speed at his age.

[@aquiredskill]

[@borisp9163]

That actualy wasnt that fast, in one video he is extraordinary fast, where he shows his technic but I also heard it was speeded up 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@raygsbrelcik5578]

I got NEWS for ya,' JKD inCLUDES boxing. JKD is whatever the practitioner MAKES it---It encompasses any form or style that works for the individual. Wing Chun is simply the STARTING point. It's weird that so many people fail to understand Lee's general philosophy. But, no matter; have a pleasant Holiday.

[@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO]

This news is old as Bruce is dead, but also as wrong all that time. WC is what Bruce used to train, and abandoned it eventually. Historical fact.

[@raygsbrelcik5578]

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO That's why I said, "Starting point." And YES---he went ON to design a Greater Philosophy----That was my point, my friend. And though Lee is long gone, his legacy lives on. Enjoy the Holidays.

[@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO]

@@raygsbrelcik5578 you know how much WC you need in order to learn JKD? Zero.

[@raygsbrelcik5578]

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO That is pretty much one's opinion. Although Wing Chun doesn't DEFINE, JKD, the technique/s of simultaneous block/punch, stop-kick, etc., are extremely beneficial in developing, not only SPEED, but quick Reaction time...Well, it worked for ME, anyway. Thanx for your reply. Take care.

[@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO]

@@raygsbrelcik5578in order to learn JKD, you would have to unlearn the odd WC structure and mechanics. It's so much different from jkd that it makes practicaly zero sense. You would know that if only you would know the original martial art of Bruce. But since I had this discussion literally 1000 times, do what the hell you want.

There were several.

[@ebenezorsend8304]

@@walterevans2118 After training sometimes Tommy would go out of his way to drive me to catch my bus. There was never any silence in the car as I would ask as many questions as possible lol , he never hid anything and would always blow me away with his natural problem solving skills. It quickly became apparent that he did not think he was a genius and that is how I see him. He is old school Glasgow and a complete gentleman.. People like him have rarely crossed my path.

[@philosopher0076]

Walter Evans. I agree with Ebenezor here. I don't think Tommy was/is a genius. I think he just started being obsessed since 15 or 16 and went very slow and wanted to understand Bruce's thinking and method perfectly. So he just was very meticulous to do things correctly and copy movement, technique, read endlessly etc. Isaac Newton was a genius. I think Tommy is analytical and smart but just worked god damn hard and likes to keep progressing whilst always being precise in what he practices and teaches.

Boxing destroy everything

[@plutobars7700]

Would be nice if you would have did tournaments or ufc. Seems a bit wasteful to practice and master something for your whole life and never even apply it.

[@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO]

He is totally into JKD, not some tournaments. He did used it very often for real seven years long, back in the day, when he worked at doors in Glasgow.

[@plutobars7700]

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO I already know that he studies and teaches this. Just think of this, you train to be a professional boxer your whole life and learn all the workouts and routines and show that you are exceptional in your training but you never enter tournaments or put your training to the test. What is the point of it then and how can you know if it works if you don't test it against credible opponents. I personally wouldn't want to study something and teach my whole life without ever applying it to really test myself. Like Bruce Lee said, boards don't hit back.

[@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO]

@@plutobars7700 He is not interested in pure boxing, why would he go boxing, although he was offered a pure boxing carrier, when he was young boxing. Tournaments are limited, I would have no interest doing that as well. Im interested in JKD as street fighting.

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO I don't think you understand what I wrote maybe you should read it again or maybe I can explain it again.

I understand that tournaments are limited but they are a lot better then they use to be. If you look at tournaments from Bruce lee's days they were mostly non contact point tournaments. We've come along way and have full contact now. Bruce would of loved it.

@@plutobars7700 nah, you don't understand jkd person at all. We are not interested in competition under certain rules.

You train to kill, but you hope never go to war. But if you must, than...

You people should know that this guy here never did a single hard sparring in his life. And he thinks sahdow boxing and hitting the air is best at making you a good fighter. He is just another showman who looks flashy but would fail miserable against any trained fighter.

[@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO]

Here is why you are a joke: 1. You made a brand new account, so you can post dumb stuff, while staying anonymous. 2. Tommy was offered a pro boxing career back in the day, because of how good he was. Now guess what if he had to spar for that. 3. You will never go and say this into his face. Now, go to bed and drink some milk.
