Win A Street Fight With This Drill (Master This!)

One of the worst mistakes you can make in your training (boxing, mma, jeet kune do, etc.) is making a habit of not mixing defense in with your offense. It can be one of those things that is simple to incorporate, but difficult to do with speed and skill. In this video, Sifu Jason with Greenville Academy of Martial Arts (The Academy) shows you a great drill that will help you build a dangerous defense that no one would want to run into in a street fight.

"That's why there's more knockouts in MMA than there is in boxing." I remember the match between MMA fighter Connor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather, boxing champ, under boxing rules. McGregor came out strong and scored some solid hits early, but in the end was completely outclassed by Mayweather. McGregor's stance was too wide to maintain for 12-15 rounds, and he didn't have the same sense of stick-and-move, or the proficiency of "slipping" as demonstrated by Sifu Jason here. Mayweather's stance and footwork were more compact, more controlled, and he was much harder to hit solidly. Especially toward the end, when McGregor was tiring out and getting sloppy while Mayweather was hitting his stride. The lesson isn't necessarily that boxing wins street fights, although it could. It's that boxing tactics like compact stances and slipping punches have value, and that gleaning them and incorporating them into your own style can't hurt, and might keep you from getting hurt. Which is the whole point of self-defense. :)

[@JKDandWingChun]

Very well said!! Thanks for such great input.

[@Andrew_JKD]

3 simple moves (jab, cross, slip) and so many variations of combining it. It's really cool

[@cehinton]

You are so fast with your slips. (And yes, I'm jealous) . I usually don't slip right following my cross, but roll to the left, slip under, and step out to the right. But you've inspired me to add that right slip into my repertoire. Appreciate your great videos, Sifu.

[@JKDandWingChun]

Christopher Hinton thanks for watching and best of luck with your training. As for the slipping to the right, it’s a great way to make sure that you’re not leaning forward on the cross instead of pivoting. Real power comes from the torque, which will maintain your balance and facilitate a quick slip back to the right. If we roll forward, though, instead of pivot/torque, the momentum carries us toward the left and that’s why that’s easier. Just FYI. Anyway, thanks again for the great input.

[@Oniweeki]

Great lesson. Very useful info. I have a heavy bag in my garage and work out on a lot and you're right, I DO lean forward too much when I punch. No wonder I have so much trouble with the "Bob & Weave".

[@simoneriksson8329]

You are really good at puting together simple and useful drills, I find great value in your videos :)

Great speed

[@miloshehmar5789]

Sifu jason, I have watched this video many times, your information and detail is so valuable, I wish other jkd teachers were so giving, in the uk, we have lockdown, so classes are out, and with so many lazy teachers, I just want to say thankyou, GOD bless you and keep up the great work

[@JKDandWingChun]

🙏. Thanks so much for the support and kind words. We thank God for the opportunity to be of service!

[@damianwroniewicz570]

I started boxing 3 months ago and watched many videos on KZbin but they were all not good enough and they lacked the technical details like in these videos here it explains exactly what I missed and what I wanted to know as a beginner boxer. I love this channel

[@JKDandWingChun]

Thanks for the input - and glad you found us too. It’s all about the basics done well, so you’ll never regret practicing this way…hit and move, move and hit!

[@DarkCrusader157]

Nice work Sifu Jason, practical and good advice. Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏾😎

[@ilnodon]

Excellent for Solo Training, which I am all about these days. Great! Thanks for the lesson!

[@Outrider74]

Dude, you're one of the reasons why I'm going to enroll in a Wing Chun school after this whole mess is over (I'm already learning the forms online).

[@chopsueykungfu]

This video is boxing, not WC. WC is all about economy of motion. None of that here in this video. If you want to learn boxing for self defense, this video shows you how.

[@colreef]

@@chopsueykungfu I'm sure he realizes that.Sifu Jason has posted plenty of WC vids on here too.

[@MzuMzu-nx1em]

If you search for the athletic exercises, you have to search elsewhere

[@MrKeepnit100]

That's right keep it simple

[@georgegoodyear9631]

Informative and inspiring. I’ll start training right away.

[@tonyjepson6035]

Most streets fights I've seen, last 5 to 10 seconds. Usually done at closer range, more like wing chun, than boxing.

[@irkenempire]

I can get with this...a lot. I like how you don't lean on trapping or chi sao concepts so hard even though your background is WC. I've been studying Karate nearly my whole life and as you said in the last vid I watched of yours, been accused of being some kind of "mutt" because my teacher studied Taekwondo and Jiu-jitsu.

[@carljustinecarpio7375]

Salute to you sir God bless

[@harlanhair9893]

Very good Jason! Always learn lots from you😀

[@jeffreybeard4184]

Thanks for the advice

[@shieldfaith1]

As far as training your hands to return after a punch, a drill/exercise I was taught was to wrap just the ends of a hand wrap on your hands (one end on either hand using a single hand wrap). The rest is will be on back of your neck and extended along your arms. You will want to have just enough to be able to punch. The idea is that as you punch the wrap will pull your other arm to where it can properly cover you. So it will create muscle memory.

[@user-ol5il2kb3z]

[@lyricrogers2443]

Wow the speed at the start was mind blowing

Thanks I appreciate that I will do my best because I am not very active as I used to be and incidentally you reminded me of Mike Tyson bobbing and weaving like that you got some pretty good moves

[@ljankok]

good realistic approach instead of forcing doctrines

[@mohammadshoaib7466]

Great stuff Sifu Jason.. i found you a grate teacher based on a realistic tqneeqs ..

[@sanders850]

Great stuff Sifu Jason. Quick question, what's the proper way to "cover" in a street fight? Thanks again for the great material.

[@JKDandWingChun]

If you have to cover, use your forearms. Parrying, slipping and evasions are better but sometimes you can’t avoid it. Nevertheless, using your hands isn’t a good idea since you don’t have a glove on so the forearm should be used instead. Thanks for watching!

[@jetmann1362]

Nice hands!

Thank you Sifu Jason good solid advice as usual, keep it simple, don't suppose you'll be coming to Dublin, Ireland anytime soon....

I’d love to...but all plans are on hold for a while unfortunately. Hopefully soon, though.

Thanks from Texas

[@ramondiaz2851]

Never seen a bag like 👍 that!!!!

[@elmiguel6725]

Thank you Sifu Jason, you're so right, it's the fundamentals... my dad always taught me the same thing. Nothing fancy, just get good at the fundamentals. My dad believed in Vince Lombardi's philosophy of mastering the fundamentals. I want to read the book When Pride Still Mattered. It outlines what Vince Lombardi and Sifu Jason teach 👍

[@JKDandWingChun]

I like your father! Wise man.

[@tonymccutcheon1560]

I understand those are for jabs but what if somebody catches you with a right hook on your skull and he just keeps delivering that right hand.. you'll slip the first one.. but you'll just come back to get hit.. as he's swimming with that motion

[@joshuaguevara7534]

Very nice Hw about elbow strikes

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Great stuff! Many thanks! :)

[@hossm1808]

Man I would love to train with you... but I’m in Columbus Ohio 😂😂

[@ricardodiaz4381]

this is a nice drill in the dojo or gym but in the streets their are no rules you learn to read the body language and his or her intentions and learn to take a punch just like in karate Ghin Funakoshi said'' in karate there is no first attack '' there is only defence and conter attack

[@JKDVIPER]

Great shhhh㊙️

I wish I lived in Greenville.

It’s definitely a growing city! Thanks for all your support. It’s very appreciated. 🙏

[@dominiklorenz8173]

great fundamentals just to clarify : could you please explain the slip to the side do youbend in the Backbone or do you use your hip to bend to the side? and how do youmaintain the balance btw. I also practice WT Since 20 Years:-) best wishes from Germany

i have u use slow motion to watch your movement.

I'd be just as friendly to Tyson now, as I would in the past lol. One bare nuckled shot and I'm probably asleep in any timeline. Lol

[@MillennialPatriot]

If I am just getting started, any input on VR boxing games?

[@hamidhsz]

If we hit these blows without gloves in the fight, won't our hands get hurt?

[@kungfujoe2136]

how i understand jkd is intersepting fist (tell me if i'm wrong) i think you sould train with that in mind no avoiding just counter (it's very effective in wingchung how i trained it) so you train new ppl like that? (ofc when further along training you can try other things )

[@alwaystrainin6439]

That’s the literal translation, and the general principle (includes all arm and leg techniques as well as everything else). Evasion is definitely still part of it, and obviously also interception and not just counter

[@JKDVIPER]

Grandmaster Muhammad punches just like that! Sick!

[@harlanhair457]

👍🏻

[@baki2332]

Hello. Love vids. What’s the difference between this bad and a regular heavy bag

[@JKDandWingChun]

The sharpshooter is, as you can see, rather slim so it keeps you from opening up too much. Plus, it’s really hard packed - makes it kind of tough on the hands if you use bad technique. In all, it really helps with speed and technique.

[@baki2332]

Thank u very much for the info. Tried looking it up to buy can’t find it. I’ll keep looking. And learning a lot from your vids sir.

[@baki2332]

Would a Thai heavy bag be just as good? Cuz I can’t find the bag he’s using.

[@hamidhsz]

Hello sifu. have a nice day. I have a question. For those who want to get started with Jeet Kune do, is Brucelee's four fighting methods books a good choice?

[@JKDandWingChun]

Absolutely! In fact, I think that’s the best place to start!

[@hamidhsz]

@@JKDandWingChun thanks 🌹

[@gerhogan22]

Quick question, im left hand and if I slip back to my left against a right hand fighter i will get hit by his cross, So should I slip the other way?

[@JKDandWingChun]

Being “backwards” (southpaw) presents a challenge in avoiding the orthodox fighter’s power hand. You generally need to slip to your right against the left jab and, depending upon the angle and foot position, you might need to duck the cross and then snap back up or weave. Being southpaw you always need to stay vigilant over keeping your leading foot to the outside of his left. Of course, if you’re quick and you’ve got the timing a slip right, then left works too from either stance. Great question and thanks for watching!

[@gerhogan22]

Thank you so much for your help really appreciate it. 🙏

[@baki2332]

Were can I buy that bag?

[@JKDandWingChun]

We got it from Everlast. Not sure if they still sell it, though.

[@txicofficial1939]

It's fundementals 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

[@iari.melchor]

Thank you for making this drill so digestible for me, a veritable beginner. I don’t have a bag at home, but will integrate this in my shadow boxing. 👊🏽 Do you have an online course? And if yes, can one person train it without needing a sparring partner?

[@JKDandWingChun]

We do have online courses (links in the description) for footwork, head movement, parrying and striking. Hopefully one of those can be useful for you. None of them require that you have a partner and are set up assuming you have to train solo, in fact. Just let me know if you have any questions and thanks for watching.

[@stevebb2915]

Can anyone define for me what a 'street fight' actually is? I read it in the title of a million videos, but no one ever specifies.

[@JKDandWingChun]

Great question. We have other videos discussing it in more detail but basically, insofar as the self-defender is concerned, it’s an unavoidable violent encounter. This separates a fight from a match in significant ways. Chief amongst them is the unpredictability of the time and place. Hope this helped.

[@thomasthorne4010]

This is boxing 101 and yes JKD does Indeed teach boxing fundamentals ..... but boxing don't happen in street fight which only last 30-40 seconds. I'm not gonna get into Bruce Lee's ' ONLY ' real fight cause we all know the lore, but he, in my humble opinion, wanted to perhaps get away from something like boxing which last too long. He basically wanted , in today's terms , to get in and out and let's be clear ..... 1. In self defense, most times it's thrusted upon you and you just go into an instinct mode 2. If you have time to be in a person face ..... separate then throw up hands and box ......you had time to get OUTTA there. Self defense is defense. Yes, boxing is offense and defense but it's not self defense when you could have walked away and the cops start talking. JKD has two primary targets that allow for striking ....... and getting outta there. Great content and you do have great hand speed ..... LoL !!!!!! But it's not self defense. Sorry

[@kevionrogers2605]

I don't know where you live but boxing, basic slashes, stabs, stomping, and slamming are pretty much what you see the world over whether in a penal system or civilian areas.

[@masontroglen3413]

Thats the dumbest shit i have ever heard.. Boxing is so self defense. You might know all types of martial arts and get hit with a proper hook or straight or whateber and knock your fuxking ass out.. Self defense is defending yourself regardless of how you do it? Are you being serious or what

[@masontroglen3413]

Ive been in a street figjt that lasted over 2 minutes.. We wete both winded and gassed out but you cant just say okay everything's cool now.. Also a street fight might seem like a loooong time it is instict too im just saying you dont sound like ykh speak from experience more like what you watch from videos and shit

[@masontroglen3413]

Yes end the fight as quick as possible. Duh no rules. Hit em in the throat kick balls giuge eyes wtf ever bite shit dont matter

[@masontroglen3413]

No matter what i do to get an attacker away from me is considered self defense.. Tell me otherwise how it is not
