*"Think of how you counter the person, not the technique"* Loved it!! 👏

[@SuperMaryu767]

Some people find jkd limiting and predictable, clearly they don’t understand the idea of simplicity which can lead to better strategies.

Bruce loved boxing… He really studied and admired Muhammad Ali‘s style It was clearly influenced by it. Loosen up and get formless…

Requests for videos cost money. 😜

cover up, stay out of reach and kick at his knees/shins, with alternating legs. Fold your ankle down, curl your toes up and you'll have at least 8", maybe 18" more reach than he has with his hand-strikes. Your kicks to his legs will be VERY disabling,, while his silly punches at you will almost certainly not amount to a hoot. Keep your arms and head moving as you kick. when he's hurt, but still sort of on his feet, use a sidesnap kick to the side of his knee to down him. That's all you need to do with him (in self defense) unless you're fighting in a phone booth. If you're in car, on stair case, etc, you need other techniques, like nut grabs, throat rips, eye rakes.

[@MartialArtsMoves]

Thomas, what do you think about sparring with MMA gloves instead of boxing gloves in JKD? Good or bad idea? We also use a headgear.

[@ThomasMarxJKD]

I don't like those, because they are spreading the finger.

[@MartialArtsMoves]

@@ThomasMarxJKD - Why do you see the fingers out as something bad? For the potential of an eye jab or other reasons?

[@ThomasMarxJKD]

@MartialArtsMoves no, what I mean it spreads the fingers apart. You can't hold them together, you can't even hold a proper finger jab.

[@MartialArtsMoves]

@@ThomasMarxJKD ok, fair enough.
