I did claim JKD lineage, and I was an instructor. However, I agree with most of what you say. I believe in obtaining experience. I just study martial arts. I train in whatever I can to get experience. If something feels applicable then I work it. These days I am simply a martial artist.

[@amawingchunkungfu7274]

It’s a rarity to find a JKD practitioner that knows how to train and apply Wing Chun. They barely scratch the surface and are just good at creating drills. Respect to them but if you want to learn how to train in Wing Chun you need to find a good teacher - which is also a rarity.

[@jeetkunedoatlanta2464]

Perhaps because they aren't doing Wing Chun...

[@michaelamarcellus4973]

The biggest problem I think when it comes to condo and the people who play at it and who teach what they think they know is that they don't really have longevity of time and experience on the fundamentals and basics which is what was taught before they were born. Bruce Lee died in 1973 I was training in 1972 under Sifu Larry Hartsell. The majority of the people out there haven't put the time in and have continued to add to their subjective interpretation of what Jeet Kune Do Is. Certificates, selling of merchandise videos or shirts and pontificating about fighting isn't the same as actually training for an extended period of time. I'm not talking about copying and imitating what you see in the movies or what you see on videos. And yet, individuals continue to pontificate about what's right and who is right and who is wrong spreading more division within the JKD community. More time could be spent cultivating themselves as individual and "training" with as many of the Jeet Kune Do older teachers that are still alive. It is indeed a sad State of Affairs that doesn't seem to be getting any better or clearing some of those muddied waters. Everyone seems to have their own agenda and narrative as they push their subjective interpretation of Bruce Lee's Art. Sad but true... Sensei Sifu Guro - Michael Marcellus Brown

Chain attacks are also meant to cause sensory overload to you opponent, especially when hitting different targets on the body like Izzo said.

[@WingZeroSymphonics]

Yes, its a bit frustrating to see a martial artist disavow techniques in bad faith. I need techniques for close quarters. This channel offers realistic approaches to such circumstances. Whether it be trapping, application of body mass or limb sensitivity and more of what I am not aware of, this channel provides what research shows in 2022. ☯️.

[@pizzulo8111]

What's funny about this instructor is he must not have even scratched the surface of the Tao of JKD because Bruce Lee is adamant that the straight lead is the backbone of JKD. It's direct and intended to knock the opponent back and allow you to follow up with forward pressure and not allow the opponent to recover root.

[@samirsaidi2223]

I think the problem with the JKD guy is that he doesn’t understand that the chain punch is a concept, not a technique. If I do wing chun, it doesn’t mean that if I get in a fight, I will get into a traditional stance and do very quick flurry of punches like in the Ip Man movies. Proper structure and intent leads to proper power generation. One good, structural, proper Ving Tsun punch will always be better than any fancy flurry. The chain punch, like anything in WC, is a concept, not a “if he does this, I will do this” technique

[@SiHingLucky]

I knew it was going to come to this and is why I stopped making videos a long time ago. Of course, I agree with what you're saying and yes, this guy could learn few things, but every time I bring up the idea behind the martial arts & self-defense industry having a National Governing Body as a means of qualifying people to teach, nobody wants it, so then we are left to people calling out other people because they don't like them agree with them, etc. The issue is in my opinion is teaching ability to skill level ratio, which is very difficult to get right. Here is a question, who are the top JKD teachers in the world and why can't their ability to teach JKD be duplicated 100% into their students? We all know the answer, and Bruce Lee himself said it in an interview..."because people are different, man". Does than mean poor teaching should be allowed? No, absolutely not. However, is it right to make videos calling people out for being a poor teacher. I don't know, i just don't know.

Personally I base everything off the blast. If something gets in the way... the trapping comes into play. I do not try to pak sao or lop sao a jab. He has never been blasted. You can't hook against a good chain punch sequence. You have no choice but to trip backward over your feet if ya try.

[@Opacus_Rex]

For the past two weeks I've been watching your videos and I know I'm a whole year behind on catching up.. I think the real problem in JKD isn't Bruce Lee but perhaps his students that split off early.. I spent most my life in JKD my school incorporated instructors from JKD, Kajukenbo, Escrima and BJJ... And the majority of the things you point out about what JKD does wrong we never did and allot of your descriptions is how we covered it idk maybe I had better instructors but we even went to inosanto academy of martial arts in del rey a few times and training was allot of the same we did we also never hyper focused on concepts but more on application hell most of what we did was full contact sparing. So I really think it's not what Bruce taught but what his students took in and what they shared was the level they were at not what the longest running students were at and were able to pass down or even the complete knowledge Bruce had to offer.

[@truthhurts1884]

I’ve commented on some of Thomas Marx’ videos, my problem with the JKD is they all move the same and look the same. The art was supposed to be about finding the best way for your body to move etc, but they all try to fight and look like Bruce Lee when his style doesn’t work for everyone.

[@ricksterdrummer2170]

Fun fact = The pads they use (designed by Tommy Carruthers) are small and made of hard rubber instead of foam. They’re amazing in my opinion! However, they’re also designed to make a loud “smack”, when you hit them. They basically give the illusion you’re hitting hard when you might not.

[@JimmyPunkWrestling]

The name Jun Fan (Lee Jun Fan was Bruce Lee's Chinese name) is what people these days call Jeet Kune Do, or Bruce Lee's version of Jeet Kune Do, which is a concept and not an art itself. The concept was to take whatever personally works for you from one OR multiple martial arts systems and discard whatever doesn't work for you and create your own style, in his case Jun Fan.

[@davidrisselada6199]

You know, I have a JKD instructor certification from a guy who came down the Ted Wong line and is also an instructor under Lamar Davis. I also have extensive experience in the Inosanto "JKD concepts" system having trained with several people from that lineage. The politics of JKD piss me off. Especially in the Inosanto line. Everyone thinks they are so special. I understand JKD as a set of concepts. Strong hand forward, longest weapon closest target, five ways of attack, etc. I also understand the concept of rejecting what is useless and adopting what is useful. Ironically, 90% of what I learned in JKD I have rejected as useless. One of the biggest reasons is that is far easier to teach grappling for self defense, or learn it in real time than it is JKD or wing chun even. Wing Chun is a style which several MMA fighters have shown is ineffective. Also, you keep insisting that JKD people are wrong because they don't know wing chun. Who cares? JKD isn't wing chun nor, in its later development was at based on wing chun. Bruce Lee rejected traditional martial arts. Most of JKD is fencing and boxing. Bruce Lee's straight lead has more to do with fencing than wing chun. Like I said though, I really don't do JKD anymore. One thing I do agree with you on is the purpose of the straight blast. I still use that. To be fair, I never trained wing chun outside of a JKD context. I played with chi sao a little bit but think that pummeling or playing in the muay thai plum is a far better method of developing close fighting skills.

[@IzzoWingChun]

And there it is. If you never trained Wing Chun outside of JKD and most MMA people havent either, I guess calling it ineffective is irresponsible.

[@davidrisselada6199]

@@IzzoWingChun perhaps. It comes down to methodologies I suppose. Occupying center line and keeping forward pressure is effective. Using chi sao to develop it? Probably not as effective as other methods which do the same. The only art I can think of that doesn't dominate the center line is Kali. You said you were a wrestler. I will say that having that experience and adding it to wing chun.probably creates a whole new beast. I gave up alot of JKD stuff when i went into a school of hard core grapplers and I had no answer. It didn't matter that I could out strike them. They could close the distance and get me down. I think the bigger point about Bruce's ideas that people miss is that it isn't the art, it is the fighter. If you have a dedicated wing chun guy, who is athletic, dedicated and understands his game, he could beat the jujitsu guy who only trains twice a week. If you have a guy from each, who are both dedicated and athletic, the wing chun guy ought to either learn how to fight from distance or expect to be taken down. Doesn't mean he will lose though. It just depends on how well he can execute his art. That is what I ultimately believe.

[@TimRHillard]

I think JKD might be a product of how it was developed. Bruce did allot of sparring, and I think JKD might be a really good way to spar in your back yard with friends. In real world violence, that completely bladed stance, especially at the extension of their lead punch is not going to work against a brutal, melee, crazy attack. It’s not going to work in MMA, UFC because a grappler is going to grab that leg and put you on your ass. It’s not going to work in boxing because using one side primarily is gonna get smothered by a boxer using both hands in combinations. But, in the back yard friendly sparring, no grappling and no real violence, it probably works well.

The vast majority of JKD people use elements of Wing Chun. The extent and how they implement these skills will vary. The majority of JKD practitioners will use the straight punch from Wing Chun at close range in conjunction with trapping. I will say that JKD trapping, (or Jun Fan Wing Chun) is not Wing Chun but because of the other elements in JKD training is modified to work with these other skills such kickboxing. I'm quite sure if you looked at what I do though the lens of Wing Chun there would be many things you would criticize but I've been married for almost twenty years, so I have received some criticism in my life

Very well explained. Being a second generation JKD instructor myself, I can only confirm what you are criticizing in this video. Not only is it simply wrong, but the fact that Wing Chun concepts are completely misunderstood and put in a bad light is pathetic. I myself have spent a long time studying Wing Chun to understand the basis on which Bruce Lee developed his JKD. I must say that JKD has taken a lot of concepts from Wing Chun.

Im a kickboxing instructor. I have done Chinese kempo, Sanshou, Wing Chun and JKD. He is purposely not chambering with power. You chamber with light punches when using to overwhelm the opponent because of the speed of launching the next attack, but you pivot and turn into the side fist to get power, though the later will take some speed from a follow up chambered attack. Its like the difference between a jab and a straight punch. jabs have little power compared to a straight punch. People are using the rotational power, which still applies in a forward stance. Yes it can be applied with the wing Chun chambering by rotation of hips/shoulders as you step Into the strike. I don't know why people dishonor these styles by lying and claiming these things. I have cross-trained in 50 arts. I will always be a kickboxer first, and I follow a JKD concept in my study, but I always honor all martial arts as I have gained something from every art I cross-trained in.

Bruce Lee published a book in his life, "Chinese Gung-Fu: The Philosophical Art of Self-Defense (1963).

I consider myself a "JKD guy," yet there was stuff that Sijo Lee got wrong. It happens. Later some of it was corrected, such as Sijo's take on Muay Thai, Savate, and perhaps Wing Chun (?) -- I have in mind teachers like Sifu Francis Fong.

I have to admit as well that we were taught to blast the head. Nothing else... unless it is a "concept implying forward pressure. Forward pressure is something that is stressed. Have you done any content on this through demonstration? I would be interested in seeing that.

[@johnabrams8148]

I had a friend that was taking boxing lessons and he got into a bar fight. He said he was scared to death, and he just threw a lot of straight punches fast and the guy went down. Those are chain punches, no?

Seems like you’ve finally found your lane Izzo, great stuff.

[@Lasombrosidad]

Come on guys, Wing chun and Jeet Kune Do are related in various aspects, you are like a family fighting for the way a word is pronounced. Wing chun has the stop kick and JKD too, wing Chun has the finger strike and JKD too, both arts share the center line concept and both work the speed. Instead of fighting for the claims of the other, just make your art evolve in a full contact environment, the facts are the best proof, not the words.

One thing that most people forget these days on Wing Chun videos it's the gates. First of all, my Wing Chun was taught to me by my father and he didn't teach me about lineages so I'm not going into that topic. One thing my dad did teach me, and one of the most important at that, is that of the gates, and trying to fight to the outside gate of the non dexterous side of the opponent. For example, someone comes at me with a boxing stance and his foremost hand it's the left, which means he's right handed or at least pretending to be, I close that gap to the outside gate of his left and Tan Da (Tan Sao and simultaneously Chung Kuen, but can be any strike or combination of strikes) and it's probably over. Economy of movements, that's Wing Chun, not like this "demonstration" from a guy, that I totally agree with you Izzo, doesn't know squat of Wing Chun, that the student when does the Lin Wan Kuen does it to the inside gate, which is the most common mistake that guys in KZbin videos do fighting against not Wing Chun opponents and get their asses handed to them.

Mike Tyson V Lennox Lewis was when 1. Tyson wasn’t in his prime. 2. Tyson’s training had changed and the peekaboo techniques weren’t there.

[@IzzoWingChun]

And that changes what? He still was kept out by the jab. We can “what if” all day.

[@jacobharris954]

Neither was Lewis

[@terryvallerjkd]

Great points, think the problem is some jkd people from most linage, really don’t work the wing Chun in the art. Howard definitely has great points with Marc.

[@TheBest-sd2qf]

Are you saying that hooks are useless and should be avoided?

[@nathanarmstrong7636]

Circumstances dictate tactics. Most real statement ever.

[@stuarthughes3747]

i enjoy your channel .. i dont have a lot of knowledge of wing chun .. i have been doing jka shotokan for over 50 years .. but i do know that most of what ive seen of this is lot of these guys would not fair well from leg attacks & ashi bari (sweeps).. a man cant fight if his legs have gone .. just my take on it keep up the good work mate from the uk OSS

[@stuarthughes3747]

thanks izzo

[@spirithonorsjeetkunedo1877]

I know what you mean, I've been doing Tommy Carruther's online courses and I left because of their bad attitude. But luckily I found after that the JKD I've been looking for, was way more scientific and a lot more biomechanically explained.

[@AjaychinuShah]

Hi Master Izzo, are there black Paladin Saints, underground community, what can we do? Please tell 😅😊.

[@everlastingwingchundunedin4776]

woah that was a bad chain punch..if ya think of a chain has links then the chain punch is linked togeather as one continuous attack just like the form and chi sau this means the whole body, or everything has purpose in it..not shrugging the shoulders looking out the window wondering what's on Netflix doing a half arsed version simply copying a movement without understanding how it works or is applied.

[@countfrincula]

Dud. This ist real jkd. Not a movie technic like kung fu or wc or something else. YOU are the one who has no idea 😂. Black rhino??? Black Chubby rhino.

[@chrisgermann6658]

good breakdown. Yes i noticed lack of "sinking" hip energy with the close quarter strikes along with lack of footing and posture. If the structure is not on point then the power is limited to the limb your using rather than the entire body working as a single unit.

[@Leonidas3888]

Great video, I concur with many of your thoughts on the jkd community. My cousin trained with Insanto in socal and his dad was a Bruce Lee nut as well as my other uncle's. A friend of mine partnered up to open a jkd studio in Fresno years ago. What I've noticed over the years is all of these teachers I've witnessed seem to mimic Lee's movies choreography and the give away is when they mimic his mannerisms and facial expressions. Now this is cute when you are 7 yrs old but not so much for full grown men. From everything I've heard and read on jkd is that idea was use whatever works for you or basically mma for the street. So if your Kareem abdul Jabar you naturally would use your reach and not in fighting and shoot for double legs. I'm tired of all these 1 inch punch videos which I assumed was purely a demo of power not an actual fight technique. All this gayness just gives ammo to the dumbass mma community (not the intelligent ones) to rag on traditional martial arts even further. Its gross how so many including his daughter profit from exploiting Lee and his concepts. Also I'm no expert but I think Vitor Belforts early fights in UFC kinda were like a straight blast? Vs Wanderlei Silva is a good one.

[@StuLau]

Why does wing chun not appear in MMA? I study lau gar and love it. Thanks for another great video

[@overtyrantfear]

Will you ever do content on the Butterfly knives?(I think thats what they are called) Always seemed cool too me.

[@reallifeengineer7214]

8-slashing-knives. Bat Zam Dao. "Butterfly knives" is a generic term that covers "dual short swords" from a variety of Southern-China styles. So WC's 8-slashing-knives is technically a variant of the Butterfly Knives. HOWEVER, there are "design features" on the 8-slashing-knives that makes it uniquely WC...

[@sjwtrading8520]

Do a video on his instructor Tommy Carruthers from Glasgow Scotland

[@roninmusashimiayamoto241]

Well this goes back to the birth of jkd,when he fought Wong jack man he was winded and said if I knew boxing I would have been able to throw hooks and uppercut bc he was straight blasting him and Wong ran.BUT IF HE USED THE JKD STRAIGHT BLAST THE 3RD PUNCH MIGHT KILLYA

[@IzzoWingChun]

And if he stuck to Wing Chun, he’d have learned that hooks and uppercuts are in the second form.

[@roninmusashimiayamoto241]
