Great clip, I’m a wing chun instructor and wholeheartedly agree with you. The fundamental problem with “trapping range” is that it’s a manufactured range that only really works if both fighters agree to stay there. It’s a blink of the eye between punching and clinching and the compound trapping drills (that I used to do) simply fail to translate to real time exhanges. I have a lot of time for pummeling/arm dragging/two on ones and good solid clinch training. If you understand it, there’s actually a lot of clinch fighting in wing chun which makes a lot of sense when you are properly taught the forms. I think the reason a lot of people in WC spend an inordinate amount of time is because the majority don’t spar in a meaningful way which would give them a better yardstick of what is actually going to work. Lots of great functional trapping in Greco imo.

Yes, if the guy can punch with the speed of Joe Calzaghe, then you’re going to need bullet time perception speed / reflexes to use trapping hands against a combo of shots that take a second to execute. Perhaps it’s possible but would prob take years of real time drilling to condition the neurological system.

Actually, this is how I was taught to use Wing Chun. It was always stressed to me rolling hands is training but no one will ever roll hands with you in a fight. I was taught to create a gap to be able to chain punch or leg kick and then just deliver as many punches to the head as fast as possible till you've over whelmed them. If your first or second trap doesn't work break contact, back up, and wait for another hole. My dad was a Repoman (who completed the entire Wing Chun system from Master Hong in Houston) and taught me later. I've become a Fugitive Recovery Agent and so far Wing Chun hasn't failed me yet but he stressed, "The point of Wing Chun is to create a hole, bridge the gap, and overwhelm them as fast as possible." Even the ground stuff he shows at 3:15 I was taught to do just that but also press my knee onto their arms to pin them down semi permanently so I can start to chain punch. I don't know if he figured it out later or was told how to use it from the start but he use to rag on Wing Chun practitioners that they were to hung up on rolling with the other person. I think a serious issue everyone has with Wing Chunks from the users to the watchers is they expect it to look like the training in a real fight. The phone booth/toilet joke does have so merit though. Sometimes the fight is between to parked cars or a corner booth of a restaurant and such. Sometimes there is nowhere to go.

Agree. Trapping works as a simple, transitory motion. Sweep the front hand away / peel off the high guard ---> strike, or slip / short parry and strike, like McGregor does. Also arm/ wrist pulls. Seen all that stuff in K1, MMA, Okinawan Karate, Muay Thai. But the sticky/push hand stuff I think is more a sensitivity drill than something that's actually supposed to be applied in a continuous succession. Nobody's gonna square off and play that game with you.

I agree and disagree, though no one is going to willingly square off with you, it is your responsibility to control your opponent when you see the opening, this gentleman didn’t show a continuous flow of motion to maintain control of the opponent. For instance if someone lunges to grab and you rip and pull the person’s arm and you pause and or don’t follow up with maybe a guillotine choke then you give the opponent an opportunity to strike or grapple you but if you quickly apply a guillotine or arm bar then you maintain control. MMA is not the standard for street fighting because street fights have no predictable range because it ain’t like your opponent is going to start 50 feet away from you and let you know he wants to fight you from 50 feet like an octagon fight, he or she maybe in enough range to grab you in which subduing the opponent is much less riskier then backing up and striking.

The whole system works when applied correctly because JKD is supposed to be formless but decisive and deadly, no wasted motion or pauses in action, only aggressive flow until the opponent is subdued, he used MMA as a standard but MMA guys will allow themselves to get slammed to apply a choke hold but that’s because they know they are landing on a mat but in a street fight it may be concrete and then what? Me personally I would like to train for the worse case scenarios but I’m taking the easiest road to victory if possible and JKD implies that once in range.

Inosanto, Bruce Lees student says it best. Trapping is more accidently than going for it. Bruce Lee threw most wing chun out at the end of his jkd phylosophy and kept mostly the pak sao and focussing on boxing, wrestling, jiu jiutsu and kicking arts, seen in his books and drawings.

@@linusverclyte4988 And yet he makes his students do stupid forms and waste many hours doing intricate trapping drills > yes, because it was Bruce Lee to overemphasize the trapping with his limited understanding of wing chun. Normally even in the worses wing chun clubs, people don't spend much time speaking about trapping like in JKD, because the Jun Fan Gung Fu for the most is the Bruce Lee's misunderstanding of wing chun. So true that in a book of one of Bruce's students, Yimm Lee, there are the description of possible trappings, which exist only if both use the centerline concept and the wing chun dynamics, but forgetting to say that. So he thought that you can trap whoever in the same way, which of course is wrong. In wing chun you do actions that maybe can eventually trap, like a boxer punch that miss the target and become clinch, but not searching for trapping in the 1st case, and not clinch as main strategy of boxing. Of course you cannot accidentally trap boxer who follow completely different trajectories with their punches, so you cannot INTERCEPT FISTS in that wing chun accidental way. He noticed that he couldn't trap boxers, but instead of saying that trapping was his wrong idea of wing chun ... well you know. And you are right, there are forms in the Jun Fan Gung Fu and in JKD. Bruce Lee created also his own form on the wooden dummy, still taught in JKD circles. They have just a different concept of form and in how to execute. As you say, at the end JKD is just the last new classical mess in which STUDENTS ARE TRAPPED.

When I was introduced to trapping I was told pretty much exactly this, so yes it does work when you don't expect it to be something it's not. Trapping is about getting a barrier out of the way so you can either strike or clinch. Even if it's done in one step it's still trapping. I strongly believe when it's practiced in a chain it's not meant to imply you will be in a situation where you will need to chain, but building instinct as to which trap to use depending on where you find yourself.

The drills practiced in styles like Wing Chun are there to teach you how to deal with different situations, develop hand speed& co-ordination, build sensitivity and learn how to adapt. Learn the skills & patterns but don’t expect to use the exact same patterns and structures in a real fight.

I have a background in WingChun, and I think what is said here is 100% correct. But, as is also said, trapping works.... sometimes. It is a transitory technique, and that's how I always understood it during training. The way you train, with various punches following each other, is more a way to train you in recognizing all the situations in which you might be able to use this one technique in just the right situation. Rarely was I able to chain more than 1 trapping defense after another in sparring matches. But that one technique might just the one that allows you to interrupt an attack/connect that one blow, on that intermediate distance WC has made its playground. So, bottom line, like just about every discussion between various styles and techniques: there is a time and place and situation for each martial arts technique out there. I've benefited from my background in WC during sparring matches in my current style Japanese JiuJitsu. Investigate everything and keep whatever works for you. There are no superior styles or techniques, there are only superior (or lucky) fighters who manage to execute a technique that perfectly fits the situation. So yeah, great video. Keep up the good work.

I've always looked at trapping as another training tool, like focus mitts. The best boxers in the world never hit 15-20 hit combos, yet all practice long combos on mitts. The TBA curriculum has long combos no one ever hits. But these are all training tools to condition responses. What does trapping teach? If you're trying to hit the person and they create a barrier, just remove the barrier and keep attacking.

He apparently thinks that trapping is used continuously in a fight because this is often how it is seen in movies and because people practice it in a continuous fashion. But actually, it's intended to used instantly, exactly as he describes it being used in MMA. He just doesn't understand the difference between training form to develop the skill, and fighting application of the skill. It's a common error that people make regarding many things in traditional styles. Mistaking training form for combat application is like saying push-ups don't work in a real fight. The push-up is a strength building exercise, not a fighting form. Trapping hands is an exercise to train you to instantly and instinctively trap, hit, and flow with the opponent's movement, not to just repetitively stand there doing the same thing over and over again as you would in practice. Sometimes even modern day students of these styles don't seem to understand these distinctions. Much has been lost of the traditional styles in the transition to modern times.

Wing Tsun kunfa, as taught by sifu Keith Fain of Clarksville TN, trapping and bridging worked well in prison cells for dealing with incoming punches at extreme close quarters where lack of space prevents the sports method of bouncing in & out or circling the opponent/attacker. It was merely 'one' tool to deal with incoming strikes from larger, stronger, men so one bridge incoming arms to quickly get into grappling/jujitsu/judo range. Standing in one spot doing multiple trapping sequences in real combat...never happens. Standing in extreme close quarters in a tiny prison cell trying to use ring boxing or kick boxing...never happens. Especially against men much larger, stronger, than oneself whom have grown up being beating since childhood by grown men with bare knuckles, in dysfunctional families or cultures. But Wing Tsun Kunfa, as taught by Keith Fain sifu, never stands in one spot trapping like most Wing Chun styles. It utilizes a forward pressure, step-drag, fencing method of attacking the opponent's legs and hips with one's own hips/legs, constantly shuffling forward, off balancing them the moment that you bridge or trap their first two strikes to achieve clench range. In a ring, cage, rec. yard or parking lot where they can use evasive footwork it's not effective against skilled boxer or kick-boxer where they can run from your simultaneous high/low forward pressure which facilitates kuzushi. In a prison cell, the ability to use forward pressure to bridge, trap or pass the first two incoming strikes or attempts to grab & hold facilitates temporarily hemming up their weapons (arms) just long enough for you to attain clench range to transition to Wrestling, Judo or JiuJitsu to drop them onto the concrete or bounce their head off the concrete wall or steel bunk & steel toilet jack. In the pseudo-street fight with open space, a sporting ring or any open area Wing Tsun KunFa takes a back seat to western counter-boxing methods. In a confined, extremely small, concrete and steel prison cell as one finds in U.S. prisons where combat is pretty much toe-to-toe and no room for evasive footwork Wing Tsun KunFa (kunfa not kungfu) as taught by Keith Fain sifu is effective for bridging and temporarily trapping the first two attacks so one can attain clench range and transition to grappling attacks. #DontGetIntoStreetConflicts #PrisonIsHellOnEarth #GladiatorSchool #WhenHellBecomesYourHomeByAuthorNCognito.

You train the links so that if one link isn't strong you move to another link. the thing is, is that each person is different and so are opponents so a paticular tech. works on one person wont on another. The key is to learn a good hand full and adjust during conflict to find the one Bang, one move that will work. So Trapping does work, just not in those long lines or links.

You're very right about the momentary nature of trapping, as well as the important role distance plays in its employment. Of course you won't see multiple trapping combos in quick succession. Why do people expect that? Like you don't see multiple spinning kicks Boyka style or the exact same 10 strike boxing combinations you do in practice. EVERYTHING is a one off movement. Every art's application goes back to the basics. 1 strike knockout. It's always the fundamentals that are shown in practical application. In training you make the fundamentals more complex to give you flow in training, to put multiple scenarios and options in one drill that works them all. The multiple trapping moves in rapid succession is a training drill. The application is just one of them, maybe two. Your objective is to hit, not to trap. You only trap momentarily when an obstacle obstructs you from hitting.

Great video, I used to do wing chun, jkd, and lots of kung fu. So many people are still delusional when it comes to their real ability to apply their skills under pressure it's embarrassing. I think videos that really show you the reasons why something is realistic or not and not just say "this is bullshit just because I say so" are really important and help elevate the level of the martial arts as a whole. That being said the concepts, the mobility/movement training, flexibility benefits that came from traditional training, really helped speed up my progress in jiu-jitsu and kickboxing. Traditional arts and combat sports really do compliment each other if you have an open but discerning mind. The reason jiu jitsu players are good at discerning what works and what doesn't is that they do it every minute of every class/training session. For example, "why isn't this choke working? Well, it looks like there's too much space here so when I squeeze it doesn't close the gap, or my grips are of which causes the whole thing to go out the window, oh wait I can switch my position(s) and save this choke, time to switch to a different technique and catch them off guard, damn I'm off by an inch and now this lock is not working". That would go through a grapplers mind and be executed within seconds and I'm not over exaggerating. There is a constant phase of trial and error, where the margin of error gets smaller and smaller with every training session. This gives a very useful lens to look through for any martial arts when discerning how and why techniques work. Does it mean all jiu jitsu guys are right all the time about every martial art? Short answer is no. Nobody is right all the time. Going back to the contents of the video, this is exactly how I utilize trapping from xing yi and wing chun under pressure. I'll quick parry or pull an incoming punch to start off a striking combination or use it when I am in someone's guard for ground and pound, and it works pretty well against most people. Obviously, if you use it all the time, people will start to catch on and counter. Give it a try (or 100 tries realistically before you really get it).

Agreed. I train and teach JKD for over 20 years, 36 plus years in many arts, including BB's in Kempo/Jujitsu/TKD/Hapkido/Arnis, and certifications under multiple JKD instructors. I usually drop the long trapping sequences and use the short, entries into grappling, entries into combinations after the single use traps. We train the longer sequences for the sake of the "art" but in sparring, and fighting, it will most likely not appear. You have to remember most WC is training to fight/spar or train with another who will respond with WC. JKD seeks to respond to boxing, grappling, Thai Boxing, karate, Kali, Silat, so the traps will be short, to the point. Not a lot of trap, counter, trap, counter.

Good video! Trapping as a tool is definitely interesting but not a tool to use all the time. Leo Fong with Chinese Trap boxing has boxing fundamentals with some trapping into boxing combos mixed in. Funny enough he was one of the dudes who trained Bruce Lee and made him move more towards boxing. It's one of my big criticisms of lots of FMA guys is that without blades the need for trapping is greatly reduced. Stick Grappling is almost always done poorly if taught at all. Most sparring you don't even have distance management and evasion either. I know this video was about empty hands fighting but the criticism is equally valid to lots of stickfighters

Yeah for me every traditional martial arts is kinda good in small part of their teaching, but unfortunately their practitioner forgot that they can't be the answer to all combat situation 1. Muaythai: good with powerful roundhouse, elbow, knee, and standing clinch, and sweep. Weak at boxing/punches, the defend since they stand too tall and too boxed, and they also not get used to high intensity attack 2. Boxing: good at punching head movement, evasion, footwork. Weak at everything else 3. BJJ: good at ground work, lock, choke, but not perfect at take down, boxing, kicking and anything else 4. Wingchun: good at traping while in constan close distance and attack at clinching range, bad at everything else 5. Karate: good at overall, bad at protecting the head and high intensity combat 7. Taekwondo: good at tricking with legs, bad at everything else 8. Capoeira: good at powerful spinning kick and feinting, bad at the techniques because it is too telegraphic. 9. Silat: good at neutralize the enemy, bad at fighting in legal condition 10. Wrestling, judo, sambo: good at take down opponent, bad at everything else 11. MMA: good at overall and the most close to rela life situation combat, but bad at detailing of the attack and defend in specific situation

Many of these trapping drills are 'flow' drills, to get you to respond in micro-seconds to a strike, a block, or a trap being applied to you. It doesn't mean that it is going to go down that way in a fight. It is training to develop quickness, explosiveness, etc. Training isn't always suppose to replicate a real fight, it is there to train what to do in a real fight. Trapping does work. But, I agree that usually it is just a one trap move.

Nice explanation. I always found it strange that JKD incorporated much from functional styles like boxing and judo yet kept trapping as an extensive part of the curriculum at least in the Inosanto lineage. My guess is that it's mostly a marketing trick: something that sets them apart from other MMA-type schools. Great point about distance making it virtually impossible to do compound trapping. That being said if distance isn't available like in a confined space it could still be useful the same way as on the ground. What do you think?

Consider using these traps from the bottom of closed guard as deflections into the arm drag when accompanied by a knee pull, forcing them into the hand fight. If the closed guard grip fight is a slow version of striking, these same movements can be applied. Especially the cross wrist catch to drag, but others also to some extent. The focus is on beating the elbow. And the strikes are instead making grips or frame breaking using grips. Same goes for karate 8 point blocking. The movements are minimized but I think this is a great concept for closed guard, forcing the opponent into an initial deflection and gripping system.

Sure some wing chun moves work, in fact THEY ALL DO UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES. Same is true for all moves from all systems. Sure sometimes they are best used in a "clunky" manner, but this is true for all jujitsu moves/grappling as well. I mean it's a fight, not a video game or a movie; techniques must adapt. The sets you did in the beginning and kept showing after are actually just drills to develop sensitivity and understanding of in fighting (distance, posture etc.); no one says that that's exactly how they will come out in a fight or that they can be used in all distances. I have to add here that I find it flabbergasting that so many jujitsu people think they are somehow in a superior position to dictate what can or can't be done in a fight and that on behalf of other systems; people have been properly using their martial art/s long before jujitsu entered the scene and of course will keep doing so.

@@jakeylee6 Yes, the problem with ma systems is mostly the way they train. This is where he should have put his weight on, not on the techniques themselves. Having said that, every student, especially one trained in other ma, practices on his own and has his own character and way of thinking and his own strive to be a capable and competant fighter at least for self defense. He knows he has to make those moves work, it doesn't finish at the dojo, never. In doing this, by rule he will still be able to use many of what he learned in a fight. How effective he will be depends on him and the attacker, but it's better than doing nothing. I mean everybody learns a kick, a punch, a push, a throw. If he put enough practice into those, and has SPUNK in him, he will use them. Will he survive the fight? Most likely, even he doesn't win. Most attackers are not experienced, so all martial arts are helpful. Now you taking down a wing chun student in a class using judo is easy, but it means nothing actually, in the sense that there was never an attempt to punch your face off or kick you in the knee, so all you have to do is keep going at him and eventualy he will get tired and get tossed or pushed/thrown. Sadly sparring with them is nonsense. Take an experienced streefighter however from this same school that has at least 1-2 years of practice and understands the basics enough and ask him for a real fight where he will be in danger, well then the story will possibly be a different one. If the video is about self defense, why not promote what is good in other systems as self defense or only from your own system? Why get into things he doesn't seem to understand (although he has dealt with wing chun practice as he said)? I think jujitsu people have issues deriving from misconception about the street and even their own system, and other systems (especially with so many dojos around that should be closed).

Those trappings are not really meant to go non stop the way I see and understand it. What you do in the gym or dojo are repetitions for the purpose of practice so the body will remember the techniques so when needed your body will react without thinking.

Trapping isn't really a thing in Wing Chun. It's more efficient and effective to just hit them. Trapping hands is "chasing hands" which go against principles in wing chun. Only way a "trap" could take place is from the opponent having to stick to an attack due to overwhelming pressure.

But what you do get is, like what you said, one trap per entry. Maybe two, depending on the person's reaction. But the problem is people expect the drill essential word drill to be how it works, but it’s only practiced this way to build technique by doing it repeatedly. But there is a ton of proof on the internet and in fights where we see people use these techniques, so yes, it does work, but just like in anything else, even BJJ, it’s not always going to look like you drilled it.
