Sifu David - Wing Chun Master of Online Training i'll have to disagree with this vid... I know that youre a good martial artist... The origins of Jeet kun do is from Bruce lee's experience on learning other martial arts style.... Jeet Kun do is wingchun but mixed with other martial arts type, like MMA... Bruce studied wingchun and combined it with other martial arts that he studied... so Jeet Kun Do is a part of Wing Chun....

[@blackjack-ks8zn]

I take issue with Jeet Kune Do being classified a "style" at all. Bruce lee was the first to tell you that his "style" was his very own and no one else's. I cannot remember the exact details but one of his legs was shorter than the other which dictated "his" exact stance and other such factors he mentioned played into the rest of the make up of his style. My first discipline was boxing. The words of Jeet Kune Do resonated with me when I read Bruce lee say that we are all prisoners of our discipline. Boxing, in my opinion and as many will disagree, is the most practical rock steady foundation one could have in martial arts, but it is the very most imprisoned by it's very own discipline. I asked myself if I could fight in the streets as is. The answer was yes, but I would be just as open to defeat as to victory depending on what my opponent did. I could go on for far too long on this concept. What I am saying is that Jeet Kune Do is the way of no way. Try everything you come across. Take, refine and keep what is useful to you and reject what is useless. What is the "best" style? The only style that any of us could call the best is one that we create unique to our person and no one else. That is by far the "best" style. You might ask, "but I want to know where to start". Just start would be my answer. Once you start your journey, you are on your way. Sitting here discussing what is better than what is a waste of time.

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

Great point... start with a mirror. Do you have long legs, tall and thin? Your style should match those strengths. Short, squat, and a bit heavy? That requires a different style... At the gym 4 hours a day, a meat wall of living muscle ? another different style. The most important weapon is yourself, and your mind: know places, situations, and times that are dangerous, and avoid them when possible. ... Minimize your risks and gain your maximum advantages. Working late puts you out on the subway at night ? Grab some work, take it home with you - leave in the day light. Go to work earlier in the morning. More crime & trouble happens late at night and on weekends. Always plan ahead to first avoid danger and dangerous people when possible.

[@Kung-Tech-Fu]

As a Jeet June Do teacher I like to say that the premise of the title is wrong. The nucleus of JKD is Bruce lee's modified wing chin. That's where you should focus your argument. JKD itself is not a style but does have a base of 25 systems but is not confined to. The concept is completely open and progressive. Therefore cannot be compared to any style that is confined and or has perimeters.

While there isn't an absolute winner, there're styles that're inferior to others, since they were designed to counter them, such as Chinese styles that're more circular to get around the more linear Japanese styles (not stating that Chinese styles're better than Japanese). Another example would be grappling vs. long-range kicking (Judo/JuJutsu vs. Taekwondo). The kicking style isn't trained on defending against grappling and/or ground fighting, so they're heavily weak to them.

Wing Chun is a reactive MA, control your area, redirect and strike. Jeet Kun Do used WC techniques (and others) to attack the attack and stop it. JKD is fluid, responsive, can be aggressive; JKD "style" or technique is based on the practioner and based on scenario. There is no real comparision of "styles". JKD is adoptive to what works in the moment.

[@neosugarland7682]

Thanks for the video upload. I learned wing chun in my early years cause i was always in a street fight. I had to learn something to protect myself. My martial art journey took me from learning different styles of karate to wing chun to Jeet Kune do, kali, Jui Jitsu then of course mix martila arts. I also studied Aiki do while stationed in Okinawa. I finally realized that it's not the style that makes the person good in martial art but the person that express himself in his art that makes him better. Namaste

[@bearer_Of_YAHAWASHI144]

Wing chung is the foundation of jeet chung do right?

[@dingfeldersmurfalot4560]

Well, wing chun does not have flashy kicks, so that's wrong. Wing Chun is indeed the basis for JKD. Bruce had an intermediate step between, which used a blade stance rather than a square one, added the backfist, a natural for wing chun, and eliminated crossing the hands past the centerline, which is common in classical wing chun. It also minimized pivoting. It also emphasized strong-side forward, unlike wing chun and almost every traditional martial art. He focused on the straight lead, as talked about by boxer Jack Dempsey in his book. He also developed his own version of the one and three inch punches with James Demille. JKD was put together with a modified wing chun as its core, with large additions of fencing footwork and strategy, plus boxing. Lee eclectically picked up whatever different things suited him from that point, but that was the core of JKD, and without which JKD would be random and unrecognizable. The Filipino stuff, etc., was all Inosanto and not emphasized by Lee during his teaching years.

[@satomi7230]

@Deep Thunks Bruce Lee believed in Wing Chun centerline but he had a different way of defending it. He used boxing head movements to move his centerline out of the line of attack. This is a no no in traditional Wing Chun. He also ditched Wing Chun footwork as he believed it to be too rigid. He felt it lacked mobility and power. He used his own form of footwork derived from boxing and fencing with a little Wing Chun structure. This allowed him to put more power in his attacks and move faster along with more fluidity. This was forbidden in Wing Chun because balance and efficiency was seen as more important. Bruce discouraged blocking but he said there's cases where it works. He illustrated some circular blocks in his books. There’s no blocking in Wing Chun. Traditional Wing Chun emphasizes straight line attacks. This is because they land faster than other types of attacks. Bruce Lee believed you should attack at any angle and with power. He used crosses, finger jabs, hook punches, haymakers i think, hook kicks, roundhouse kicks, etc. His kicks came from Savate and some Taekwondo. Bruce actually used horizontal boxing punches and snapped them. Traditional Wing Chun doesn't do this. Bruce believed in adding whatever works to your arsenal like biting, headbutting, grappling, etc. In Wing Chun, you’re supposed to constantly go after your opponent until you defeat him or her. Bruce discouraged this and emphasized proper control of distance. In traditional Wing Chun, you're not supposed to use force against force. Bruce believed that you should fight against force if your force is greater. Traditional Wing Chun puts emphasis on parrying and countering at once. Bruce took inspiration from fencing and made the timing faster. He said the best defense is a strong offense. You counter-attack before your opponent can even begin an attack. He said you should attack first rather than wait for your opponent. In Wing Chun, there's no hitting first. Bruce believed that generally you should kick below the waist but if there’s an opportunity to kick high, take it. There's no high kicks in Wing Chun because it wastes time and energy. The only things Bruce Lee kept was the Wing Chun dummy, some flow drills, sandbag training, etc. That's about it. He only used Wing Chun principles as a guiding basis for his Jun Fan Gung Fu. In some ways, he followed them. In other ways, he violated them.

Wow, people are really sensitive about the Jeet Kun Do thing, but I must agree. Bruce Lee, himself, said that there is no 'traditional style or form' of Jeet Kun Do. Every practitioner had to formulate his/her own style, based on his/her knowledge of martial arts and physical capabilities. Bruce Lee was the quickest man that we know of and that's why he practiced a JKD that used his extraordinary speed to his advantage. Master Mas Oyama - may he rest in peace - had the same idea with Kyokyushin karate. JKD is based on the doctrines and philosophies of Kyokyushin Karate (among others). Master Oyama Mas said exactly the same things about style, form and light sparring that Bruce Lee did before Bruce Lee did. As you can see: a whole lot of people have an issue with limiting JKD to Bruce Lee's version of it. With all that said, thank you for the video. Please, May I request a video on fluid movement in Gongfu? I know that Wing Chun is a type of Gongfu, so I hope you can do it.

[@johnriggs3143]

Bruce's first style was wing chun and his parry v/s block system identify's this as well as striking at the moment of parry . His stance was a westernized version of Boxing and Wing chun like a boxer who's Back foot is raised on the ball ready to spring forward withe the wait on the lead foot , this enables faster forward motion because the back foot acts as a spring to launch you forward while giving you enough pivot motion to allows stepping side to side also the lead hand is closed but not tightly the fingers are closed but relaxed until the moment of impact the rear hand is open to allow parry's also Bruce taught that avoiding a blow before a parry or block is the ultimate strategy for not being hit and when you move to always potion yourself to the outside of your opponents attacks because First it makes them more vulnerable to incoming attacks, second They have to move to re-position themselves the majority of the time which allows you time to counter and third it makes they're movement easier to read to be able to dodge or counter if they throw before or during they're re-position.

[@Docinaplane]

I'm fast. Not Bruce Lee fast, but still fast enough to hit people within my range like a deer in the headlights. My lineage goes back to Lee through Joe Lewis because of his connections to Tracy's kenpo. However, besides being fast, I have trained the technique of independent motion. From what I see on this video, you do not use that. If you look at those old videos of Lee, he does use independent motion. That is where the striking object moves well before the body shows any movement making it very hard to block. I strike part way then move. You move most of the way then strike. Because you are very skilled, your body and punch arrive at the same time. My punch arrives sooner than my body, but is has the momentum of my body behind it. If you do not already do this, try it and you will see what I mean. Best!

[@johnchan1154]

One of the main things i personally like about Wing Chun, is the fact that you can fight someone in the dark without seeing them.because wing chun uses feel of the other person to retaliate ,Let's say a woman is sleeping and some loser climbs up 7 floors and gets in her bedroom and she is unaware until he is on her choking her or putting a knife to her neck ,she can put him in a head lock or a arm lock or like a triangle with her legs and while he is locked in that position she with short punches can give him a concussion, if a loser is holding knife to your throat you can't do anything but sooner or later he will have to put down his knife to remove his pants and as soon as he does it's over in the dark.She can do this simply because wing chun is system of feel and like he is saying you can tell what your foe is doing by reading his muscles before they react.like Ju Jit Su wing chun do use leg and arm locks they call it arm bars but it's the same thing.What this sifu is not tell you here is in a fight chinese martial arts not only targets your stomach or face but your joints like if they are trying to dislocate your elbows with a axe ,but the axe in this case would be your palm that can break blocks or wooden blocks that is why they train to do that ,so by the time a wing chun fighter is done with her would-be rapist he won't have any arms left to use or legs and would be wishing for her to call the cops.

I just cant stop looking at how you stop your punch just a milimeter away from face ... awesome you are true master

[@KayFoong]

Your JKD On-Guard Stance is full of mistakes... A tip for you is to go study and research on the Western Fencing footwork. Conceal your groin and keep your stance compact with both elbows close to your ribs and your rear hand close to your chin. Also to tug your chin down and put your weight forward. When you lunge in with an attack using JKD, just immediately go for the opponent's primary targets and finish him straight away, there's no need to waste energy to chain punch him. Don't overkill. Change your levels of target instead of just keep predictably hitting high. Wing Chun wasn't designed to work on boats and wasn't developed on boats. A nun brought it out of Shaolin and taught it to a lady named Wing Chun, hence the name of the art. It was much later that Wing Chun has been passed onto a boat opera troupe. At the same time Wing Chun has also been passed onto others who lived on land and evolved into many different styles of Wing Chun. Another difference between WC and JKD is that WC practices the "Turning Horse" / Pivoting to Shift Centerline, while JKD uses Footwork to Change Angles.

[@joeffreyalqueza2466]

[@mightymeatmonsta]

The fencing stance SUCKS, big time! It is weak and puts you off balance! No, you are wrong! There was no Ng Mui or Wing Chun! They never existed! No, again you are wrong! JKD uses linear movements, traditional wing chun uses angled stepping and a body rotation towards the attack so you can catch it and counter safely.

[@mags_7191]

Ah...mostly right on, EXCEPT there were 5 senior monks that escaped the Southern Temple before all could finish learning the system known today as "wing chun" in order to fight the OPPRESSORS who learned from the Northern Temple after that temple gave up with VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE. SO--- One was a nun named Ng who taught as well as 4 others- I wish I saved the footages... but I have seen the inheritors and footage/and or pictures of the styles of Wing Chun AND ALL HAVE NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCES and training techniques, however the concept and forms are almost identical. Very correct you are about chain-punching!!!!---there is WAAAY TOO MUCH AND TOO MANY doing just that when the system includes MANY DIFFERENT STRIKES AND FLOWING ARM MOVEMENTS- JUST LOOK AT THE WOODEN DUMMY TRAINING PEOPLE!!!! AROUND 116 TO 118 FLOWING MOVES YET YOU SEE MOST PEOPLE EXHIBITING ZERO FOOTWORK JUST HOLDING ARMS OUT AND GETTING THEIR ASSES KICKED BECAUSE THATS ALL THEY DO ASIDE FROM STUPID CHAIN PUNCHING ONLY!!!!!!!! THEY HAVE BEEN TAUGHT WRONGLY AND POORLY!!!!! AND LITERALLY THEEEY THEY ARE STUPID TO TRY TO FIGHT USING CHAIN PUNCHES WITH ZERO POWER ONLY AS WELL AS NON-EXISTENT FOOTWORK ETC. It's a damn shame and no wonder most understandably think WC sucks and is ineffective. WC WAS CREATED TO DEFEAT ALL OTHER KUNG FU- AND A REAL PRACTIONER CAN DESTROY ANYONE EASY ( BRUCE LEE ) UNLESS THEY ARE TAKEN TO THE GROUND AND HAVE ZERO GROUND TECHNIQUES. LOOKUP "SHAMO69" "SIFU KANISHKA (and find clips of him showing WC techniques- as he knows a few styles BECAUSE HE WENT TO SHAOLIN. You'll see the difference in all these people and also may wish they got in the ring so the VAST IGNORANT MASSES could see WC is truly a DEVASTATING STYLE- again THAT'S WHAT IT WAS CREATED FOR!!!!!!!- QUICK DEVASTATION OF PEOPLE) See those and stop wasting time watching vs when it comes to WING CHUN.

1:48 nobody ever fights in the YGKYM stance ever. 2:22 that is a Bui Ma stance, and that's 1 of 4 stances we fight with Wing Chun. 4:10 Wing Chun does that. 4:44 Wing Chun does this. 5:55 *sighs* Wing Chun does this. 6:40 every strategy you mentioned is 100% Wing Chun. 7:23 You literally proved you have absolutely no knowledge at all of Wing Chun! It's not defensive lol. There are NO BLOCKS IN WING CHUN!!! LOL 8:42 Wing Chun never chases the attacks, and you did. So what you showed with the really bad horrible Tan Da, is not what anyone with even 5 weeks training would do. We never over extend, our energy goes into the guys shoulder or center mass, yet you went to the far left toward his elbow. Nobody in WC does this. Nobody. 9:17 again you chased his attack, It looks like you are doing a bui strike or man sao and instead of going in you went to the far left. Who trained you? What Lineage are you following????? 10:48 your chain punches are terrible. Elbows to the side, chambering all your punches, your fists aren't even center or nipple line. David Wong, this is a punch that everyone learns NOT to do in Wing Chun. Your punches are relying on muscle mass and your body's weight if you step into it. A normal sun fist punch from Wing Chun is absolutely not done like the goofy stuff you just did, and the Sun Fist punch is never chambered, elbows are in the IMMOVABLE ELBOW AREA, and they rely on bone structure, and different muscles and it generates far more power than your punches with the muscle mass ever could achieve. Fight Science has several videos of a Wing Chun Master doing the 1 inch punches and chain punches. Go check them out. Look man, i'm not here to bust your balls on this, but you literally did everything wrong and talked nonsense. WE need more Wing Chun that is authentic and REAL on youtube. Not whatever you were doing guy.

[@davisbarr9112]

Yes and no. It's a lot more balanced. If you use tan sau towards center or shoulder area against a non Wing Chun style hook punch it will collapse ... So that's good to at least know about tan sau, that said he didn't tan sau either he used a weird long range pak like in Shaolin ... But Shaolin is the parent of wing Chun like wing Chun is the parent of jkd do you know all of them? How many styles of Wing Chun do you know? It's clear there are several. Some turn shoulders off some even roation off and strike with bone structure to increase sensitivity and it actually is extremely rapid ... But as far as that hitting hard it depends, sorry. Relaxing you can hit extremely hard with a short relaxed fist using bone structure that's all true. That is true. But as far as chambering, elbow energy is a core thing for power either way ... Rotation or not. Many styles of wing Chun opt for more muscular movement ... This is true ... If you don't think so I'm not surprised but whatever. Why are they different? Because people continued to work on sensitivity to pressure until they came out with the style you are using. It resembles the first form. You DO chamber in that form ... So your idea just went out the window. But sometimes you barely do or almost don't I guess ... That's the first style the little idea. The point is not to give any cracks and to find their cracks ... By not opening up at all in your structure torque or posture. Use as much sensitivity as possible. This is a well known style of wing Chun and legitimized. But you don't rely on a lot of torque. Every next form you learn in Wing Chun pivots. You know this. You are taught it's a mistake. It's an accident. It's for when you are losing. Maybe. But it's not. It's something all fighters understand. You are just using your torque in your body, pure and simple and you are doing it to generate power. As far as Wing Chun doing things that are similar to intercepting fist... Yeah I agree. The only difference is in Wing Chun you can't say you don't defend and attack at the same time. You can say you are not supposed to chase hands. You can say you are not supposed to just defend. You are supposed to attack. But there are plenty of mistakes in lineages of wing Chun I won't insult people. One is an interpretation of "If the door is open, go in" That's true if it's open attack if it's blocked stick and crash. But someone out there told people wrongly if the door is open a billion feet away out of range forget angling and just walk in a straight line using a chain centerline punch. I don't know who he was it she was, but we hate whoever that is. Bruce Lee does blade, blading extends the range considerably for the intercepting fist that is clearly already a central part of Wing Chun. Something different about Bruce Lee was his speed but his power too. Bruce wouldn't just land a lunch before you did ... With this good explanation here .... But he would land it hard enough to interrupt your structure and knock you back, hitting extremely hard too ... Before you did. That's why he doesn't block he is absolutely wailing on them just about knocking them all the way over, they can't finish their attack and that's a fact. In my humble opinion it's best to learn all of Wing Chun though I admit Bruce didn't ... All of jkd and Shaolin if you are interested in any of it, it's very related and the movements of one bleed into another and help you adjust in real life if you use any of those three arts. I bet people might agree that trained all three ... I bet. I don't know. Sure in malls they are taught together. Why learn Jeet kun do ... Learn the parent art Wing Chun! Dude I felt the exact same. Bruce Lee is so amazing but I want to learn the parent art all the way! True. But ... Down the line ... Having learned Wing Chun .... I think you'll just want Jeet kun do. If not whatever, but ... Wing Chun is really a great gate blocking art that never just gate blocks and usually is just attacking sticking messing with structure and balance and position, pivoting and positioning in flanking areas with a square facing stance. Sure. But that is WAY close. Hence why it's good you are basically striking Inna critical range, a concept of jkd. Anyway. They are both good. If you use Wing Chun though at some point you'll want more range speed and versatility. Jkd and Shaolin round out wing Chun and are the parents and child arts. If you want to start saying "I only want to learn Wing Chun," cool, you're just like me. If you still love Bruce Lee cool you're still just like me. But once learned you should see that you need to use wing Chun well when there's no contact ... Not just when there's contact. Speed and range ... Sparring ... Not relying on only sticking .... If course that's important. Bruce Lee is only helping. He didn't finish all the styles due to race hate since he was 25 percent German. That fueled a passion to be different in him. But you should actually learn all of wing Chun ... Really ... As well as all of jkd for sure it will only help you .... For sure .... And maybe even Shaolin. I mean ... I did. But whatever.

To correctly tan against a fuk go towards their shoulder. To correctly tan against a hook punch ... Hit the hook at a 90 degree square angle directly absorbing while at the same time spreading so you don't absorb it ... And the elbow energy roots to your center mass or spine .... directly ... Or it will collapse even then. It does not root to your shoulder, your center. If you go towards their shoulder like a fuk sau that will work against Wing Chun ... And that does not work against a hook punch. Everyone has seen the 90 degree tan sau somehow somewhere I think I might have seen IP use it if not I'm wrong but it's in all the movies as well. Look. Just because it works one way in a drill or form and you should understand it completely that's how it works ... It doesn't mean you don't adjust it to keep it from collapsing with attacks from different angles. Try it! That said Thai was the parent of Shaolin, Shaolin is the parent of Wing Chun if Wing Chun is not Shaolin ... Jeet kun do is the sibling of Wing Chun .... And Jeet kun do uses American boxing as well sometimes ... Which Thai adopts. It's a very full circle thing. And yet ... At the core ... Karate kickboxing Sanda basic Shaolin not the animal forms ... They are all done relatively the same. But Wing Chun has a lot of unique abilities ... So does Bruce Lee!

[@dtsa2465]

Both are fantastic self defence martial arts. How effective and efficient they are depends on one's own ability to train, perfect the concepts in his own life. Wing Chung is made famous by IP Man ( Bruce Lee's master) and JKD pioneered by Bruce Lee himself. Learning more than one "self defence" skills is pretty handy when it comes to combat. When in a real fight, a combination of kills is better than one because effective combinations of movement is an advantage !!

Wing Chun ❤

[@snakey5856]

Wing chun teaches how to hit hard and fast. You simply throw the hit. Don’t push it in. For example the punch comes straight. The fists start off from above the hips then move up to the chin or throat or the nose. By throw it I mean that you don’t push it or use any aggression. Just throw it until your arm is completely straight. That’s how the punches hit hard. The same applies for all of the hits. Kicks, punches, elbows, palms and arms. The arm hit is called the sword. It’s called that because it is the edge of the arm from the palm to the elbow and you only use it if it is after blocking a close hit or you can do an elbow hit on the neck or face and then straighten the arm completely. The guy will definitely be knocked out. There are other situations where you can use the sword hit as well.

[@jake9854]

Jeet Kune Do is design purely for bruce lee only, only his body n extremely fast reflexes in order to comprehend this fighting skills. which makes him the only one who really know this art. AKA a legend!

[@gmartinez5760]

Your correct JKD was Bruce Lee self expression. However, like Dan Inosanto the only Jkd instructor certified by Bruce Lee to teach it once said “JKD can be taught but not standardized”. This means that two people can be taught the concepts and principles (techniques) of JKD and in a fight both of those peoples JKD will look different.

[@LoneMaestro-]

When you have a martial art style you fight with a style. And when you have multiple styles you are blending together to create your own taste and what benefits you personally it’s called a system. My Grandmaster studied 7 arts to create a system that I’m learning. And I believe Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kun Do is a system he was ongoing in its development. If he were alive today his jeet kun do would look way different and effective.

[@thejchristopher]

JKD 5 ways of attack🤔 longest weapon to closest target 🤔

[@francoisnel5253]

I agree with some other comments. JKD was not intended to be a style. It is more about being effective and using what works best. Straight line attack as it's shortest, using kicks to intercept an attack as it's longer, etc. Bruce Lee said so in his own words.

[@boxingjacks6363]

All martial arts and in particular Kung Fu emphasise speed. To say that one style is better for slower people goes against the most basic principles of Kung Fu. Even Tai Chi which is often seen o be practiced slowly is done fast. The real skill is knowing the difference between speed and rushing. Kung Fu is about mastery, if you are not trying to master the art you are not doing kung fu. To state that one style works on intercepting while the other is defense and counter, misses a fundamental concept of kung fu "timing". Both of the above are about timing, the issue is how skilled you are. It is not a choice between the two, but about skill in timing.

[@satomi7230]

Bruce Lee believed in Wing Chun centerline but he had a different way of defending it. He used boxing head movements to move his centerline out of the line of attack. This is a no no in traditional Wing Chun. He also ditched Wing Chun footwork as he believed it to be too rigid. He felt it lacked mobility and power. He used his own form of footwork derived from boxing and fencing with a little Wing Chun structure. This allowed him to put more power in his attacks and move faster along with more fluidity. This was forbidden in Wing Chun because balance and efficiency was seen as more important. Bruce discouraged blocking but he said there's cases where it works. He illustrated some circular blocks in his books. There’s no blocking in Wing Chun. Traditional Wing Chun emphasizes straight line attacks. This is because they land faster than other types of attacks. Bruce Lee believed you should attack at any angle and with power. He used crosses, finger jabs, hook punches, haymakers i think, hook kicks, roundhouse kicks, etc. His kicks came from Savate and some Taekwondo. Bruce actually used horizontal boxing punches and snapped them. Traditional Wing Chun doesn't do this. Bruce believed in adding whatever works to your arsenal like biting, headbutting, grappling, etc. In Wing Chun, you’re supposed to constantly go after your opponent until you defeat him or her. Bruce discouraged this and emphasized proper control of distance. In traditional Wing Chun, you're not supposed to use force against force. Bruce believed that you should fight against force if your force is greater. Traditional Wing Chun puts emphasis on parrying and countering at once. Bruce took inspiration from fencing and made the timing faster. He said the best defense is a strong offense. You counter-attack before your opponent can even begin an attack. He said you should attack first rather than wait for your opponent. In Wing Chun, there's no hitting first. Bruce believed that generally you should kick below the waist but if there’s an opportunity to kick high, take it. There's no high kicks in Wing Chun because it wastes time and energy. The only things Bruce Lee kept was the Wing Chun dummy, some flow drills, sandbag training, etc. That's about it. He only used Wing Chun principles as a guiding basis for his Jun Fan Gung Fu. In some ways, he followed them. In other ways, he violated them.

[@thepunisher2476]

[@mags_7191]

you're WRONG.

[@GeekWingChun]

Sifu David, I enjoyed this video. However, I did want to note 2 things: 1) You said JKD's stance is a right lead. This is a common misconception, as Bruce was right-handed. The JKD stance is STRONG SIDE FORWARD. (I added the caps for emphasis, not to yell at you.) In other words if you are left-handed, then your left side would be forward. 2) You said JKD could be better for someone who thinks they are fast or could be even partially as fast as Bruce. While he was indeed physically fast, this is only part of the equation. Ideally, all martial artists should train to read the opponent's body. This means we have the ability to tell what they are doing long before their blow can reach us. That is when we strike. This ability to read what someone is doing (and get there before they do) gives the illusion of speed, simply because we can dominate them while their attack is only 50% of the way home. That is my interpretation anyway. You can read about it further in an article I wrote, and I hope it is okay to share it: playrsclub.com/importance-speed-martial-arts/ Much respect, Steve G.

This is fine for a young person things start to change and get slower as you get older...timing strategy and accuracy is better than speed. Disrupt the balance, hit the target 🎯.

[@SodaPopin5ki]

Nice break down on the way each does it's entry or bridges the gap. I'd like to add, that while the ideal JKD response is to strike on your opponent's preparation (it is in the name, as you point out), I think most JKD practitioners also learn simultaneous defense / attack, evade / attack, and even counter attack. And not everything is going to be Single Direct Attack.

[@onlyhrithikroshan1684]

Ip man taught Bruce Lee wing chun and he developed a new style from it named Jeet Kune Do

[@frankwilliams3036]

I have to second what Cleveland Stamps said. If you don't know that Jeet Kune Do is in fact built on Wing Chun, you probably should ask someone who knows. The footwork of Jeet Kune Do, in terms of movement is a modified Wing Chun footwork. Even if you look at the way Bruce Lee fought in his movies, particularly in Return of the Dragon's fight scene with Chuck Norris, you can plainly see the Wing Chun techniques (pak sau, gun sau, {the oblick kick, often used by Jon Jones UFC champ}). What Bruce Lee indeed did was complete Wing Chun and make it more applicable for a modern street fight. Although Bruce Lee beat the snot out of Wong Jack Man in their fight, using essentially classical Wing Chun (Jun Fan) with some deviation, he was able to see the limitations of the art form. So rather than sticking to the art for the sake of the art, he decided to modified and even add to it using the what he saw as the most effective fight techniques from a variety of martial arts. Being a practitioner of Jeet Kune Do, I alway's see the center of what I do as Bruce Lee's modified Wing Chun, although Jeet Kune Do is not in any way restricted to it. Jeet Kune Do also utilized grappling from Jujitsu which adds an element that classical Wing Chun does not have. Most MMA fighters are actually doing Jeet Kune Do, in that they generally use a variety of techniques from a variety of martial arts systems for the express purpose of winning the fight. Which at the end of the day is the point of martial arts in the first place. I still practice the forms from my previous martial arts of Northern Shaolin Kungfu, and Wing Chun, but I also train (Jeet Kune Do) in multiple techniques because at the end of the day, when your life and/or safety is on the line, you don't want to lose, then say, but I stood up for my art. You want to win and say I did what I had to do to survive. Take what is useful, and discard the rest-Bruce Lee

[@johndheaton1]

I am an instructor as well....and I am very curious as to why I always see the rear foot facing forward stance when that was primarily an early adaptation of boxing and eventually Bruce stopped using it and turned his rear foot backwards. In practice this is much better and has multiple advantages over foot facing forward. It allowa greater spring and the ability to utilize the larger muscles in the legs rather than just the calf muscle. It also yields a symmetrical stance perfect for fighting multiple attackers and allows a greater "court vision" of your surroundings. The lunge step is greatly increased in explosiveness which allows more ground to be covered and two of the core virtues of JKD are enhanced being economy of motion an conservation of energy. Try it for yourself.

[@patriotea76]

I think a lot of other people have probably this covered, but I noticed a couple of inconsistencies with what I know of Wing Chun. Gee Kim Yeung Ma is not a fighting stance. It is an isometric training stance meant to build strength in the legs for beginners. Huen Ma, the second "stance" you mentioned, is not a stance, but footwork designed to move around your opponent. I definitely know this was said, but Wing Chun was not developed on a boat. After the Southern Shaolin Temple was burned down, Ng Mui taught the form to Wing Chun to defend herself against an abusive suitor. Also, your blocking is inefficient and does not use two-way energy. The idea of simultaneous blocking and attack is to take the energy of the opponent with a block and pivot it around your body and send it back to them in an attack. You, on the other hand, are meeting force with force. If someone throws a hay maker at you and you block with an open palm like you did in this video, you're going to be knocked down. But if you deflect that hay maker with a tan sao, you can pivot their energy around your body and send it back with a simultaneous punch. Just some things I noticed and I've only been training Wing Chun a couple of months.

[@wallace8us]

Very informative...good job. Unfortunately in today's society of overly sensitivity political correctness, and the general overabundance of laws and regulations, I feel Jeet Kune Do can be 'attacked' by lawsuits if a real life conflict should happen. Since you're the person launching the first strike, it's hard to interpret by bystanders that it's an act of defence. I prefer WingChun just for the sake of staying clear from anything that has to do with lawyers.

[@AS-gt7uz]

@ Sifu David: awesome video. I'm reading the comments and people are very passionate about Wing Chun and Jeet Kun Do. I've trained in BJJ, Kali, JKD, Wing Chun, Epee Fencing, and boxing. I can say that exposing myself to all of the different combative martial arts has widened my perspectives. One big take-away from Si Gong Lee was identifying your weaknesses through combat or sparring. If you don't spar with different types of opponents, you'll never truly know your capabilities. Through sparring, I know that can combine the Wing Chun Pak Sao technique, with a boxing jab and head feint...if I'm late at intercepting my opponents strike. Sparring is important. Test yourself to identify your weakness and limitations, and then train to eliminate them.

[@Jesus.loves.you.123]

I would say Wing Chun as a defensive fighting style is more practical and easier to adapt, and it works for both the faster fighters and slower fighters, men and women. In addition to that, the footwork helps keep the body in balance and helps coordinate the flow of the body movement to enhance the effectiveness of each move, both on defense and during attack. Particularly, because it needs a lot of energy to endure even a short fight, energy preservation is extremely important, and Wing Chun's economical fighting style is an answer. Jeet, on the other hand, requires fighters to fight in a very fast pace, which is awesome, but not everyone is born with that ability. Basically, an offensive style gives up most of the defense and put all the energy on attacking. When it is done right, it will win beautifully, but when the energy of Jeet fighters are consumed but the opponents are still able to drag the fight, Jeet fighters must need to know how to defend themselves to compensate the lost energy. Therefore, I would suggest mastering the Wing Chun first for an all round defense, then polished with the Jeet offensive style to make the fighting tactic a perfect 10. Anyways, both of the styles are great and admirable.

[@LorenaYoungJewelry]

Absolutely right 100%! JKD continues to evolve because it doesn't limit itself to just one style or even several styles. It is the combination of all styles that an individual can take advantage of given his/her strengths and abilities. "The highest technique you should hope to achieve is no technique" ~ Bruce Lee

From what I've learned from a history documentary about the founder of Wing Chun (Viasat History) it was developed by a woman studying at the Shaolin temple during a war. Due to her small size she needed to be fast & hit vital organs & areas to quickly disable multiple foes, soliders amongst others, Maybe the concept of boat fighting came in later in the history of Wing Chun?
