The trifecta! Footwork, eye jam and front kick the family jewels!😬

Great stuff. A very important part of JKD.

[@walterevans2118]

Footwork is for Attack & Defense. Absolutely...Getting you quickly to the target but also getting you out of the line of fire of the opponents weaponry......Mobility is very important. ....But I wouldn't use the multiple eyejabs with multiple opponents. But you are right to emphasize eyejabs could come from ANY angle...JESSE GLOVER did demonstrations of the finger jab which went straight line to target (Rocketing right over the top of a boxing guard from a neutral stance) but Jesse was also showing finger jabs around the SIDE of a guard & as you are showing here like an UPPERCUT . In JKD these different deliveries can be used at different ranges & different angles. Good video ....(Paul)

0:17 Always keeping it real. I love it.” 😎💯0:52 And remember guys, those finger jabs are a PHON SAO too. The forearm acts like a crossed sword. With Pak sao like Sifu J was using that’s an incredible structure to freestyle high low with. Like a modern snake crane STREET applicable style.” ☺️🙏💯

SIFU, please, give me a word: Is it better shooting an eye jab targeting one eye, or both? Because, even if we train it, theres a chance to break a middle finger if you hit the nose for example, and then the straight lead is over. I Was thinking about that when you showed in this video taking a step for the right e land the hand, wich is very smart! I thought: I could focus on the right eye of the guy if I attack stepping left for exemple....I don't know, more secure? More chance to miss? What do you think Sifu? Yesterday, I was training eye jab on my punch bag the way you taught on other vidro, but there was "no nose" in between. By the way, despite all the Bruce Lee techniques, I'm not very comfortable do land eye jabs the way he does with the fingers, but I'm a begginer, that's why I'm here asking that kind of thing!

[@JKDandWingChun]

@@David.Von. with smart tactics and practice you won’t break a finger. We target a single eye for accuracy and basic conditioning will protect you from a break. For example, Muay Thai fighters condition their shins to deliver and withstand damage. And they’re throwing full power kicks!! The fingers, likewise, can be conditioned via bag training and finger pushups. More still, we aren’t throwing it to spear his brain. It’s a whip like jab. With practice your finger would be sore if you whack him wrong, but not broken. Thanks and hope this helped. 😎🙏

[@David.Von.]

@JKDandWingChun perfect explanations, as usual! I' ll train that way, with smart skills, faints and footworks, and yeah, better focus on one eye, once we do it to have the opponent with no guard, with the hand in the eye trying to understand what happend to his vision, at that time he is already recieving a front kick and a straight lead. Thanks SIFU, ooooonneee mooore time!!

Hey there. I’ve become more interested in wing chun lately. You can never choose the environment that you must protect yourself or others in as you know. My question is what can wing chun teach me that I don’t already know in the sense that i train in mma so the several disciplines I train in like the clinch fighting of Muay Thai and wrestling and dirty boxing used in clinch range and the long range punching of boxing . I’ve never done wing chun so from my outside opinion there’s things that appeal to me such as the kicking used and the principles of the centre line and the hand trapping however other things that I don’t think much of is the chain punching. So my questions are : what can wing chun give me that I don’t already know from other systems? Please reply

[@JKDandWingChun]

@@GeorgeMoon-p1t sounds like you have an incredible background and base for self-defense already. Good for you. As for Wing Chun and your particular questions I’d just say that knowing the strengths and weaknesses of a system is paramount. It’s like that with any weapons system. A 9mm and a shotgun both work but have their pros and cons, right? With Wing Chun, it’s really the low line kicks that attack the knees/shins and even the ankles and feet (and during the clinch/tie-up too). Those short range kicks are brutal. What brings the system to life is the footwork (assuredly a topic that we believe is entirely misinterpreted by many in the Wing Chun system itself unfortunately). The assumption that we’ll always have sure footing like in a ring or cage is foolhardy. I think Wing Chun rightly trains us to assume cluttered and uneven environments. Other than that, like I said, your existing systematics work quite well. It’s just a matter of being honest and aware of everything’s strengths and weaknesses. Wing Chun is like a compact 9mm. It’s quite good at what it does. If you’re trying to hit someone downrange, though, there are better weapon platforms. Thanks for watching and I hope this helped.

[@GeorgeMoon-p1t]

@ thank you . And yes in my opinion martial arts are like tools for the environment and circumstances. It is suited to the clothing , footwear, surface , environment ect. People say aikido is useless well in my opinion it works well in swordsmanship or for ranged weapons like the bayonet but isn’t suited for other things. But yes the close quarter idea draws me to it and as you know if you look at southern Chinese arts and arts across SE Asia its close quarters environments. Arts that were developed for self defence

[@kungfujoe2136]

no throat punches? i'm shocked

[@surfside16]

Nice.

[@JKDandWingChun]

@@kungfujoe2136 at free movement range it’s a little harder to get a clean shot at the throat/neck. Once within bridge contact/clinch, though, we elevate that target since it’s more accessible. Of course, if it’s open - whack it. I once caught a shot in the throat while sparring (with 16oz. Gloves on, no less…go figure) and that was no picnic. It’s just that in our experience at long range the throat is a little tougher to connect with than the eyes. Either way, thanks for watching.
