This guy is a surgeon. He has gifted natural ability. His non-telegraphed movement is off the charts. just watch this the hips and straight line movement. Fantastic sir!

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you so much sir! www.ProActionVideos.com

[@danieltschirky5234]

Oh man i rarely saw a guy complete like this. absolut amazing stuff !! I'm a Wing Chun an BJJ practitioner. this is the way wing chun should be interpreted today. you have to come to switzerland one day. both thumbs up.

[@mjoker73ify]

I'm a mixed martial arts practitioner and I really like Sifu Billy Brown's physical explanation on body movements of JKD. I find it awesome on the patients and tenacity Sifu takes in showing the practitioner proper offensive/deffensive strikes. I strongly recommend others that do not have a complete understanding of JKD to watch this video..

[@GuroBillyBrown]

+Mjoker 213 SO GRLAD YOU ENJOYED!

[@mjoker73ify]

Thank you for sharing the knowledge, Sifu Brown.

[@kwajoopoku7228]

Billy Brown is a charismatic name for a martial arts instructor. I like Billy Brown.

[@SHAPREME]

Excellent display of JKD... realistically presented & very well explained... i salute your knowledge & methods of training!

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you sir!

[@dananguish11]

Very good Jeet Kune Do. My Sijo in the sky would be proud.

[@Rhuarc]

Great demonstration!! Couldn't help but notice SRV's "Texas Flood" coming through the speakers SRV and Bruce Lee

[@GuroBillyBrown]

To people that leave un-educated reviews.. The newest one was this.. JKD hits first always, not defend and then hit! ALWAYS HUH? The first thing i taught in this vid was what Sijo bruce referred to as a REPOSE.. This was taught to me by 2 original students.. And actually.. In JKD, if we can hit first thats awesome, but if we can't we hit last!! Before you knuckle heads post stuff like this, research more and watch the entire video! LOL If you don't, you are just another KEYBOARD WARRIOR! As for as belts being worn.. I do seminars all over the place at all types of school.. They can wear what they want.. Doest change the level of instruction, does it!?

[@grandmasterelixon85]

Billy Brown good job on your explanation. Action and reaction. Action is first but also can be learned through pre arranged defense moves to pre arranged attacks. How ever reaction can't be learned that way. Reaction can only be learned through hardcore sparring. So I was wondering at some point do your students engage in full contact sparring? Also the peekaboo guard you were demonstrating is great if you are wearing gloves, but not done in barefisted boxing. You do have an ability to teach, and that is an art in itself. Keep up the good work and don't worry about ignorant comments. Some people pre judge a style they have never studied. I have studied thirteen disciplines with Jeet Kune Do being one of them that really isn't a style.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

GrandmasterElixon Yes, we do a lot of sparring here.. And I am aware about the gloved hand verses non glove. Check out my dirty boxing vids.. And thank you sir for the kind words!

[@BeyondDestiny]

this video was very helpful thanks

[@sweeppicker4716]

Great job Sifu Brown. Big Bruce fan. Much respect! You are a great teacher.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you Eric! So glad you enjoyed!!

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you sir! Good luck in your training!

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you Daniel T!

[@larryandrews4797]

Billy keep doing your thing. I studided a little of capoeira and ninjutsu

[@BPierce777]

This guy is one of the best martial artists i have ever seen. Blk belt tkd here- def not offended haha.

[@ezdi619]

How does tkd work in trapping range?

[@GuroBillyBrown]

+Agreewithmyfact he never said it did. And JKD isn't trapping range...

[@ezdi619]

No I said TKD because OP said he is a tkd black belt. I know JKD works from different ranges but in a video I watched by Paul Vunak he said JKD practitioners sort of have an advantage up close against the common man because not too many people are well versed in that range. I originally wanted to learn TKD but decided to lean towards JKD/Kali for this reason. And the fact that it's hard to maintain those TKD kicks as time goes on. Was just wondering what Tae Kwon Do people do in close combat. I've never seen them do an up close demonstration.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

He mentioned TKD because of something is said in the video.. TKD is not good in close range. But it has some of the best long range kicking out there and should be investigated and trained! Yes, JKD is great up close and so is KALI.. But both arts also STRIVE at long range and many of LEEs original students have said that Lee totally left the TRAPPING at the end of his life.. I doubt that but GET good at all the ranges should be the GOAL! ANd all arts have something good in them..

Very good demonstration. Bruce would be proud.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thanks for the comment.. But you should not assume that I am "sticking" to any one thing.. This is the JKD Training Methods that I teach at my schools. This is one facet of our curriculum. We love to train JKD. We believe that it is very valid. But we train many in many arts and systems.

[@free2flow]

There is nothing like a knowledgeable instructor with a passion for what he's doing to invigorate the need to learn. Sincerest thanks for sharing this with us. Wish you were in NYC

[@GuroBillyBrown]

WOW! Thank you so much for those kind words!

[@GuroBillyBrown]

I may be doing close you your area this year to teach a workshop. Ill let you know!

[@berni2907]

Hi There Thank you for posting the video. I study Jun Fan JKD here in Hong Kong and I recognise quite a lot of what you are teaching. Much more than many JKD videos that I have seen on youtube. So keep up the good work and thank you again.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you!!

[@DylansTracks]

I am a Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun Sifu in North Carolina, it is so nice to see another JKD instructor in the South. This place is being ruined with UFC and grappling schools. Even in 2013, people still do not realize a vertical kick or scoop kick to the groin faster than they can blink will take any art out of them haha. way to go Sifu!

[@whatif718]

Really good seminar! Good stuff

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you sir!!

[@Stand4Righteousness]

[@brentr926]

Solid JKD concepts, well communicated. Excellent choice of background music as well (SRV RIP).

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I also educate my students in what REAL MUSIC is! LOL

[@_progressions22]

Honestly Man I Could Benefit Like No Other From This , If Only I Could Find Some Jeet Kune Do Classes

[@CasshernCasshern]

i realy love traditional wing chun!and i realy hate modifications on wing chun because all are purely fail!exept this vid!realy man your are awesome!grats for me!this is the first modification that i see that is actualy makeing sense!even when you are useing boxing ppunches i can still see the wc in it!and thank god i found someone to say that the blocking stance of boxing(hands on the face) makes vulnerable especialy on the street !!!!

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you sir!!

[@bloodriotiori]

I really like this video. I'm a long time karate man that had to take a big break, and i recently got back into classes (not quite what i had before, but in my area it's my only option so i'll take it lol). I'm trying to remaster my karate basics, but it's hard because i've become a lot more muscle bound than i used to be so it's going to take a while to get. I've been trying to come up with a more practical version of karate using more modern concepts, and i like what i see here!

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Every now and then we get some nobody that wants to leave comments! Horrible comments! Not often, maybe 2 or 3 a year. I go to their page and they always have ZERO videos of them training! Maybe a MMA video or 2 of others but NONE of them! I use to respond and get upset. Let them know that I travel the world teaching and sell videos all over the world. And I have a huge academy! I would let then know that I have 10s of thousands "followers" ect. Then it him me as i got older. Them being a nobody! With ZERO accomplishments. they have chose to lash out at me, and I should be proud of that! And the best thing for me to do is KEEP Being successful! And keep putting these videos out for the hundreds or thousands of you to enjoy! And KEEP MOVING FORWARD! While they stay there behind their keyboard.. Thats the sweetest revenge.. So.. "BATTMUHA". (great name) Good to hide behind like your keyboard). Thank you for your intelligent comment! And please when you get done with being jealous, google yourself then google me!! :)

[@bigwoklun]

Really good. Its great to see a new generation of instructors like your good-self who appreciate JKD.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

+Hl Lun THANK YOU SIR! Glad you enjoyed! www.ProActionVideos.com

[@kec5831]

Outstanding instructional video, Sifu Billy! You are an excellent resource. Your instructional videos have been a very valuable resource for me and a great supplement to my classroom training. Thanks for being generous enough to share!

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you so much!! Check out these other great titles at - www.ProActionVideos.com

[@bloodriotiori]

(continued) I want to take karate and what i know, the blocks, the specific techniques, and figure out a way to apply them in a non karate "world" so to speak. I really like the riposte you mention early in the video, and that confirms the fact that bruce did fencing early on and was able to apply that to his martial arts. Props to you sir, i think you really get what bruce was trying to teach, not so much the moves and techniques, but the concepts, and in the end, concepts are key!

[@kennethnacar7091]

Greetings from Philippines

[@williemoncada3049]

i like this guy

[@therealawakener7]

Well done, I see possibly hundreds of so called JKD clips on youtube which aren't even JKD in the first place as well as being crap, but this is by far one of the better ones. More power to your elbows Sifu Billy Brown, I think Sijo Lee would be proud of what you're doing:-). Peace. Keep rocking.

[@ericstieg2721]

Nice work, glad I spent the time to watch. This looks very similar to the training I received from my sifu, Bud Thompson. Nice work martial brother.

[@Kev80ification]

Nice to see the different ranges been demonstrated so well! Nice to see some Erik Paulson style Catch in there, sadistic shhtuff: )

[@GuroBillyBrown]

+Kevin Morley thank you sir!

[@sifuchin]

Not bad. Good training system. Keep it up!

[@GuroBillyBrown]

+Tiras Chin THANK YOU

[@AmericanFreedom911]

Excellent video. Dont give in to the haters. I am former TKD myself, and the pivot is one of my biggest complaints. Not to mention the damage I have seen people do to their knees not pivoting on roundhouse and side kicks. Wish there were some good JKD schools near me.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you sir.

[@Kingmartialarts]

Excelent video, deep explainations in a entretained manner, also the moves of the teacher are very sharp. I really like this material.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you sir!

[@broccolihart1]

Great video sifu and love love that cat

[@GuroBillyBrown]

[@francescopom1640]

Very Interesting video. MrBrown my congratulation for you muscular body so fast in the movements! incredible. Regards from Italy

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you so much sir!

[@mikeyuskiw3477]

This was a phenomenal class for a great occasion. I have trained in both Tae Kwon Do and Jeet Kune Do in the Washington DC area. I must say, I truly appreciate your attention to the details of proper body mechanics. I would hope others would just understand that nothing comes without strong basics. Pivoting is so fundamental to the mechanics of kicking, people shouldn't take offense, just focus on your pivoting next time your training. Do you ever come to Maryland or Virginia to give seminars? Thank you again, Sir!

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you sir! I have not been that far north yet, But i would love too! If you ever get a group together, Id travel there and teach in a heart beat! Thanks again! www.ProActionVideos.com

[@MAX-zu5wm]

Awesome , very nice thank you for the information and technics , the bruce concept is the best street fighting . This is for the guy who talks bad about Bruce's technic and way of fighting . Thank again for showing the real JKD

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you sir!

[@siguenza69]

The best

[@rahullamba18]

if anybody says this doesnt work please go to him and do it and then say because i have been to many street fights and people with martial arts experience and this works infact i myself planning to teach it but this is the very basic level of jkd or jun fan but atleast it is real. alot of people teach shit in the name of jkd. i am not a master or anything but i have practised all these moves. what i am learning now is slip and trapping but since their is no teacher all we do is with friends and making situations as real as we can with head guard rubber knives and all.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

You Are Very welcome!

[@lakaidemonios1980]

you are a very good teacher sir,everything explained in full detail,well done sir.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you!

[@jfan3689]

Looks like a great fighter. And he's right that Tkd doesn't pivot their front kicks because I'm currently in Tkd and I know we don't which is quite ridiculous. Nice video!

[@GuroBillyBrown]

thank you!

[@jywong28]

Not true. My TKD school shows us how to pivot for all kicks. Depends on your Masters teaching and knowledge.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

johnny wong my TKD instructors did also. Most today do not...

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Jeet Kune Do man who says Jeet Kune Do is exclusively Jeet Kune Do is simply not with it. He is still hung up on his self-closing resistance, in this case anchored down to reactionary pattern, and naturally is still bound by another modified pattern and can move within its limits. He has not digested the simple fact that truth exists outside all molds; pattern and awareness is never exclusive.Again let me remind you Jeet Kune Do is just a name used, a boat to get one across. - Bruce Lee

[@Gwarrior314]

Good comment Jxl

[@JXL21]

The one thing that many of the ground fighters are so fixed into now is that they are so determined now just to take the streetfight to the floor immediately they forget their opponents buddies will just kick them in the head or break a bottle over their heads. Thing with WC and the rest of Kung fu was to expect multiple attackers, Kung fu trapping has takedowns and submissions (many teachers forget to learn or teach it) to do while preparing to counter another standing attacker.

[@sandsmine]

i just saw a pair of lord byrons boxing gloves. it was a boxing glove but there were these finger gloves on the inner outside. a bit of mma

[@GuroBillyBrown]

LOL! Yeah, all of the students love her!! She just sits and watches people train all day! LOL

[@jamesfaircloth5107]

Impressive video Billy liked it for a big man an i dont mean fat your got some nice speed to your punches an like your techniques. I try to teach myself elements of jeet kune do because where i live there is no jeet kune do classes so i have to self teach myself an with video.s like this an books i have on jeet kune do i learn alot from reading an seeing the action on these video.s

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thank you sir!

[@jamesfaircloth5107]

your welcome Billy.

[@clearcombat]

Billy, what do you think about Tommy Carruthers in Scotland. He is really fast, but never any sparring with others. Bruce loved sparring as do I. Been in the arts since I was 17, now 55 and still loving it.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

HI! Yeah, Tommy is fast.. I don't believe that all of that sped is functional speed though.. He like to put on a SHOW.. Which is good to some extent, thats how we ge people interested.. I have never trained with him, I know some who have, but I will keep my most personal opinions off of this.. But I will say, i spar WEEKLY and have for 25 years.. Much of the JKD community these days do not spar.. This is not good. They are really missing a very crucial element of JKD!

[@clearcombat]

Billy Brown Billy, thanks for responding back so quick, kinda like your fighting style. Have you ever been challenged at a seminar by a crowd member? I ask because I have a chance to teach self defense at a gym that just opened in NJ that shows interest. Now as a security specialist doing personal protection and site protection with my men, I have been tested only 5 times in 10 years. Does that ever happen to you, I ask because I don't want to over act, but it does happen. Just trying to be good at what I do, no ego here just good solid skills. In NJ you have to be careful it is a very liberal state, can't afford getting arrested. I respect your knowledge.

[@SuperGCon]

Hello Sifu Billy Brown, that was an amazing demonstration and after watching this video I've decided I'm going to take up JKD with PMA in my city. You seem really excited about teaching JKD and well...it's contagious. Do you believe that I would need prior experience in martial arts, boxing, sparring etc, in order to be able to start training - and become effective - in JKD? How long do you think it would take for someone who trains 5 hours a week(1hr/day) to become effective('black belt'..)? in JKD, with little prior experience in martial arts? I get that there aren't any belts in JKD but don't understand how the ranks work yet! Thanking you in advance, George.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

+George Con (Τζώρτζης) No prior experience needed, In fact its best if you have none.. And just train.. Don't worry about rank.. Just train and keep moving forward!

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Now I will address the next most famous comment sent to me by closed minded individuals who most don't even train! Why belts?? 1) I conduct seminars all over the world and if a school has belts, I do not care. That doesn't change the quality of instruction, does it? 2) despite what people think Bruce Lee did give rank to instructors and students. Not belts but rank! 3) this is not 1969 4) watch tje quality of the instruction and stop asking stupid questions that have no bearing on what is being shown here..

[@insight1025]

Billy Brown Clear and Concise instruction Billy B. Love the vids.

[@davronshumpert5072]

Hi Shifu Billy Brown First I like the video it was great. Second; I'd like your view on competition sparring and sparring in general. Using the JKD philosophy during sparring. I myself believe if you can't apply this in a sparring match. You most definitely can't apply it in a street fight. Some tools are similar to other tools use in combat! Although some are illegal like eye jabs, groin attacks etc. But besides that trapping is not. But a good jab or palm strike could take the place of a eye jab. Because the tool or movement is similar. The last thing is interception if you can't intercept in a safe environment. How can you intercept in a none safe environment. I heard from several people saying it meant for the streets. That may be true but they are actually scare to pressure test it in safe. But contact environment that test their skills in reality base interaction. Meaning your opponent is outside your system or not a training partner. I have also study JKD and other styles. I also believe that people hide behind the name JKD. Instead of applying the name. Some may hide behind stories of its creator or teachers before them. But it not just JKD other styles does this as well. What is your views on the situations and the growth of developing and appling JKD combat philosophy.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

+InsightONE Thank you!

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Davron Shumpert Davron, thank you. Some good questions. I will respond when I have some time to do it justice. Thanks again..

[@mjoker73ify]

+Billy Brown ,,Sifu Brown, THROUGH the years of martial arts, I learned that belts do not make anybody a great fighter it's the time, effort and focus that one puts in the art. Then again a good fighter avoids confrontation. I understand Bruce Lee's insight on the arts. That, one must empty the mind of such indoctrinations in order to receive the whole heavenly glory of the art...( The belt doesn't make the fighter the black belt only gets you in fights or in street challenges) But to be like water..... water becomes everything so be that everything and absorb the teachings with nothing else in the mind" and again Thank Sifu for sharing the knowledge.. You added a lot to myy understanding of JKD." Keep it up and i wouldn't listen to critics. You are doing this from your heart which is the only thing that really matters.

[@firebraingames]
