  • Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do revolutionized the world of martial arts. By incorporating fencing style foot work into bare knuckle boxing, the style is as flashy as it is powerful. Today, we take a look at some concepts I learned while visiting @jkdcolorado

    “The majority of people who practice Jeet Kune Do are mixed up, they think it should be a part of Wing Chun, a part of MMA, a part of Thai boxing, a part of wrestling, you know, a part of Wing Chun, which this is completely incorrect. You don't go from style to style, you go from distance to target or target to distance. Longest weapon to the nearest target and the most direct and efficient route possible, that is Jeet Kune Do.” - Tommy Carruthers

    JKD Lead hand= Bladed stance, 3/4 or vertical fist, 'Hammer Principle' ( from fencing, move the hand first, dropping towards target,) Explosive fencing like burst of rear leg, Upper body twirl (Jack Dempsey,) fist lands before the lead foot hits the ground (Jack Dempsey, ) hit with bottom three Knuckles (Jack Dempsey.) These are all the components that make a JKD lead hand powerful. Bruce incorporated Boxing, fencing and specific things form Jack Dempsey into this punch.

    Bruce Lee: This is not a style, jeet kune do is about using only what you need. I only use what i need and works for me
    People: Ok, i’m gonna make that a style and copying it (?
    Ok no, to be fair the video is great, and explain a lot of the basics of jeet kune do, but lots of people thinks that jeet kune do has a proper style to learn, but people shouldn’t try to copy bruce lee moves, because what worked for him may not work for you and me. It’s not about you adapting to jeet kune do, it’s about jeet kune do adapting to you, to have your own jeet kune do

    Lee was a fan of Jack Dempsey's work. His straight lead was also heavily inspired by the way Dempsey throw his jab with the falling step ( jab with your body weight behind it). The way you throw with the rear hand with the rear leg step forward is called trigger step, basically to increase the range of your rear punch.
    There's another concept that you left out is the High Low concept. Basically if i attack with the lead hand (eye poke, straight lead) then the follow up won't be the rear hand (most of the time) but the lead leg instead with side kick to the leg or front snap kick to the balls (in self defense) or push kick (if i'm doing combat sport). Of course there's another combination to use the rear hand is jab/eye poke to create flinch reaction and used passing step to switch side, get close and barrage them with hooks and uppercuts

    rule of thumb in jkd: start off every encounter with a kick. Bruce's best practice in one of his books. also to make all kinds of crazy sounds to irritate your opponent. the retreating jab is part of a pendulum movement its also to avoid lower kicks

  • @teemul6284
    @teemul6284 Před 5 měsíci

    When your shoulder is turned against the opponent (3.19) your hit lands him before and he cannot even reach you if you are not dwarf or otherwise short hand (attacker most likely will hit in a box formation, if attacks) but you can. After the first punch comes the back hand. Try it. Basic Silat punch combo. Your first posture is perpendicular to opponent, 1st and 2nd punches comes from the body rotation.

He took his bladed position and I could easily see the shoulder lift to tighten and throw his jab-- and smacked his ankle rather sharply with my cane and he was down.. and I didn't have to move.. :) I told him- "you need more practice".. and walked away.. (I need to clarify- I have high ranking black belts in 5 arts- plus jeet kune do and just plain hillbilly mean- also a retired ranger- ex fed bodyguard with over 1000 Transactions- which is what I call fights because someone always pays--- and only 2 losses)...
