Jeet Kune Do In-Fighting (JKD Training For Close Quarters)

[@JEM-fo6rs]

You never go wrong with a vertical fist to the gut. Old school boxing never gets old. I’ve shown this technique to my class of boxers. They all love it. When done right really rocks your opponents foundation and Puts them on there heels. The switch hitters love it from the southpaw vs orthodox stance cuz you get the added bonus of being on the blindside of your opponent. Nice video Sifu.

[@stevebaldwin6904]

In my humble opinion, this is probably your best video yet. The fighter inside crouch, stepping off the line and counter-striking with the shovel hook(s) -- reminds me a lot of the first form I learned in Mantis Kung Fu. Thank you very much for sharing this, and I am psyched about getting that book!

[@JKDandWingChun]

Steve Baldwin fantastic. Hope you like the book too!

[@gejolley4197]

You guys are the best, studied JKD for year y’all are on the cutting edge!

[@johndrake5467]

Your point about old school boxing is spot on. Smiling Jack Johnson did this kind of stuff all the time. In fact at times it looked like he was doing chi sao.

[@georgegoodyear9631]

As always, very practical advice given in a friendly, enthusiastic manner. I’m just off to my local JKD class and I’ll be sure to stay crouched with my chin down.

[@mohammadlouis3377]

You probably dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the latest series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother for the last few days xD

I'm very interested in reading this book after I finish Foundations. Also, I'm glad you reminded me of your online course as I need to look into that. Thanks from Texas!

[@JKDandWingChun]

COMB0RICO thanks for all the support.

[@joshkooga7204]

Thanks sifu jason..i know he gets alot of flak..but you and master wong seem to be the only two wing chun related teachers who emphasise keeping the chin tucked..

[@JKDVIPER]

It works.. especially if you know how to close your punches.. squeeze em as they land drives through.. change of state!!!

[@erickeegan5999]

Sifu Jason, I totally stole this video and put it in my JKD folder. Since there is no JKD where I live, I use your videos and books. keep it up.

[@JKDandWingChun]

Awesome! Glad to help. Best of luck and God bless.

[@stephanwatson7902]

2:28 in Olympic Fencing yes, but in actual swordfighting, like HEMA, in close range you grapple, wrestle and strike (with the blade, pommel, fist head, etc) or make distance and all the rest

[@fardhidahmed6003]

when will you make a video on strikes with the knee?

[@duchi882]

Thank you for making this video! I find it difficult to in-fight since I'm used to staying outside and just pepper my opponent with my Lead hand

[@whydotheathensrage]

I always liked watching M Ali throw his jab in the opponents face while dancing backwards. Brutal, tiring, demoralizing to the opponent.

[@vinrod34]

Great training!! I wish I could learn JKD here in Florida.

[@zokajz1021]

You have lol

[@MustAfaalik]

TQ Sir, this is the adjustment traditional KF needs to be effective. Just what Bruce was developing away from "the classical mess"while integrating elements of traditional KF.

[@stephanwatson7902]

6:03 Tao of jkd pg117-123 has double/single leg takedowns, heelhooks, armlocks, chokes, neckcranks, the Twister, judo throws/trips. The Tao says don't rely on hust one takedown = grappling

[@sanekabc]

Where were you forty years ago? A first year JKD student learns more about fighting strategy than ...well... more than any other martial art ever teaches. Karate teaches you literally nothing about actual sparring. I know. I'm a second degree black belt from a military teacher who learned from Chuck Norris's teacher in Korea.

@@alhanhassan5496 A question from someone who clearly needs to do some research.

[@johnabrams8148]

@@alhanhassan5496 are eye jabs, groin kicks, elbows to the temple, knees to the groin, hitting your opponent first, using your longest weapons and kicks to the knees helpful in a street fight?

Does Jeet Kune Do have the distance theory to defend yourself by using a move when your opponent is at a. specific distance from you?

Cool good😊😊😊😊

[@treightonmakinano4026]

Aloha from Hawaii Sifu Jason. We have a bit of a history of street fighting here that most people don’t know of. And had my share of scraps. Now I’m getting into true kid deep, I would like to know if head butts, knees and elbows is out of the question when fighting giant Polynesians. And is the shovel hook effective against this type of opponent??

[@treightonmakinano4026]

*JKD

[@JKDandWingChun]

Head butts are devastating. Elbows, knees and shovel punches are great too. Some of the fellas you’re talking about are gonna be able to take some damage, so always remember the basics and don’t go for a one-shot kill. Maintain good defensive cover at all times and use combinations of these strikes smartly. Hope this answered the question ...and thanks a bunch for watching.

[@treightonmakinano4026]

Greenville Academy of Martial Arts yes it did and I can see you put a head butted video on! Haha mahalo/thank you!🤙🏽

[@alfonsgrizzly5558]

I wonder if I can do those inside shovel punches in ortodox stance? Or is it more effective in unorthodox stance?

[@JKDandWingChun]

Alfons Grizzly either stance works because you have to be squared up to throw them properly. Just work on getting good position on the inside - using the crouch with the proper angle - and you’re good to go.

[@andrewhuckerby8265]

Once again an excellent video on practical jkd. Sifu, I may be wrong but I don't see much use of elbows in your videos or in Lee's JKD - is there a particular reason for this? Thanks

[@JKDandWingChun]

andrew huckerby good question. I cover the topic in some detail in the book but here’s the short version. The elbow is efficient in such cases when it’s the most direct weapon, which is rare because the fist, palm or fingers are usually closer. Plus, an elbow strike can leave you open since you momentarily have both hands on one side of your center. That makes it hard to stuff takedowns, etc. This isn’t to say, of course, that an elbow strike shouldn’t be used. It’s just that the JKD fighter must be judicious and circumspect in its application. The idea is always simplicity - that is, offensive-defense (or Jeet!) in every action. Hope this helped and thanks for watching.

The best way to win A fight is not get in one but sometimes it's best to learn A good lesson.

[@kobiesboxing4956]

And the best way to not get into a fight is to use verbal Judo.

[@anthonypena4447]

Bruce lee used wing chun and western boxing for hands, and he used Tae kwon do and Savate for kicks, he used certian techniques in muay thai like knees and elbos for inside fighting, and he trained in small circles Jiu-jitsu, Judo and catch wrestling. Bruce Lee was also a defensive counter striker, he was explosive and fast and he he hit very hard for a 5'7 man that only weighed 145 lbs.

[@corywheeldon1538]

Bruce emphasised simple non complicated techniques, the easiest but most effective so he didn't really use tkd

[@JKDVIPER]

Lean back on the Jung-da works too I meant sifu cuz people rush us...

[@JKDVIPER]

Or STRAPPLING....

[@stephanwatson7902]

[@robertvondarth1730]

Addendum: After reading this book 3 times, I feel I must offer comment on the judeo Christian metaframe as is presented. As a strict empiricist atheist myself, I at first raised an eyebrow to this presupposition stack offered within. But then I remembered that Christianity as a metaphysical framework does not require us to believe in actual talking snakes etc. Jordan Petersons take on Christianity for example, as a symbol and metaphor rich scaffolding, will still offer the superstructure without offending reason. Or simply, a supreme being as a metaphysical ideal will do

[@Larsbor]

I would like to try Jeet kune do, but dont find it in my city, it seems to work good on my experience.. WingChun is a bit stiff and you get knocked out if you are not Ip Man, or Wong Shoung Leong.! If you try sparing with Muy Thai people with wing chun you know what I talk about.. so I went from Eing chun to Boxing and KM and a bit Muy thai.

[@JKDandWingChun]

We always recommend a good boxing gym for those without a Wing Chun school nearby. Boxing “adds” less extraneous stuff to one’s Wing Chun and, in our humble opinion anyway, is easier to integrate with one’s Wing Chun. Just a thought. Not that MT is evil, LOL. Just that boxing keeps things closer to the Wing Chun principles. Same thing with JKD. Anyway, great input and thanks for watching. Hope this helped.

[@JKDVIPER]

I wonders ... why don't see all this staff in a real fight in the ring or on the road??? I don’t say only in this trills you sowing now.

[@JcLeopard]

Watch the Great Lightweight Boxer Roberto Duran and you will see a lot of very similar techniques.

[@LouKiss]

at 4:18 you completely lost me on your knowledge of JKD trapping. I saw two additional hits you could have done. So let me rant.... Really missing the whole crux of the intercepting fist. You are teaching boxing principles (which look like Hollywood stunt man punches a few times) and calling it JKD, this is an age old marketing tactic and very unfortunate it still happens. The way you enter anyone with beginner knowledge of a Thai clinch would take this gift you give them. It is different to state practicality then stating the system of fighting you are using. This will always lead to disaster.

[@JKDandWingChun]

LouKiss sorry to disagree so vehemently but I was talking about the danger of going in with one’s chin up. That’s a massive danger. An easy way - as I described, which you ignored - to get KO’d. We have other videos on trapping. The comment you reference here has to do with going in with your chin up and its obvious danger. If you disagree, feel free to keep playing in traffic then. Either way, thanks for watching.

[@LouKiss]

@@JKDandWingChun wow I present my point from one instructor to another and you meet me with insults? I feel bad for your students if they ever question you. Messiah complex. I get it. I've done the whole playing in traffic thing when I was a stunt man and luckily I have access (and friends with) some of the top instruction on the planet near me so I don't need to watch any more of your videos. Never heard of you until your promoted videos showed up in my feed.

[@flonomcflooneyloo7573]

Do you know what JKD means? It's the way of the Intercepting Fist. You are not doing JKD. You are trying to profit of of that name (like many others). If you don't have BL-level attributes you can not intercept. Do you understand 'non-intention'? I doubt it. Stop calling it that name and confusing people.

[@LouKiss]

thanks for pointing this out! He is teaching boxing here and gets butt hurt when called out. I've been training in JKD under first gen students since 1991 and taught since 2002 (I have the certificates to prove it). Because I evolved in my learning I don't have the audacity to call what I do JKD. I will teach JKD core as was taught to me and implementing my discoveries but will never say Thai boxing or BJJ is JKD. He has money to spend on KZbin promotion otherwise I would have never heard of this guy.

[@luxurybuzz3681]

JKD uses boxing. Read Tao of Jeet kune do. A lot of it is directly copied from boxing and fencing books. Bruce just replaces the words.

[@LouKiss]

@@luxurybuzz3681 oh you mean that collection of his notes? Yeah two of my instructors helped put that book together. Might want to read the parts where he describes the straight lead or maybe even the bai jong stance or maybe adding the extra hit during trapping...shall I go on? Might want to read it yourself instead of just looking at the pictures.

[@smiley-qb3nt]

Bruce borrowed from boxing and added it to jkd even the shovel hook
