Jeet Kune Do is basically on all the above. It's all about taking what you think works and rejecting ones you don't think will work. It's all about self defense in a street fighting situation, and it's all about improving yourself.
Indeed John, I have a lot of respect for Bruce Lee, and although not from his lineage, we do adopt a very similar philosophy to that of Jeet Kune Do.
Glad you understand.
Hy, watch this video about studies on effective self defence. Thanks. czcams.com/video/Zb8gsgUX8-c/video.html
You are a really good teacher!
Great video Patrick. I fought as a professional MMA fighter for the majority of my adult life and have practiced BJJ and Sambo for a longer period. I agree with everything you said except one detail, MMA was not counted with UFC 1in my opinion. The first few years I competed it was mostly known as NHB, aka no holds barred. I first heard it called MMA around 2003-2004 myself.
Not being a douchebag just stating my opinion
Thanks, James. Indeed there were many mixed-discipline fighting tournaments well before UFC. And the term MMA did indeed become more popular around the beginning 2000's. They say the first time it was used was in 1993, but that's open for debate.
Martial Arts Notation is the new thing.
I enjoy your stuff, having both seen your Kung Fu videos (last time we talked in comments, you mentioned Kung Fu and I looked you up and actually I'd seen your Kung Fu content prior to EMA back in the day). I really like how you're putting things together with what you teach, and also that you understand and differentiate between MMA, self defense and martial arts,all 3 are valid as long as you understand what you're doing and why. :) Just curious have you ever fought competitively in kickboxing or MMA? It would be interesting to see, if not I hope to see some more sparring footage with your emphasis on teaching, that's very interesting content :)
Thanks, Zen-Dragon, and hope you enjoyed the early stuff... definitely came a long way since then. I have not fought competitively in the past, only a few friendly matches between kung fu practitioners, but nothing on tape unfortunately. And yes, actually thought of you and will be releasing some more sparring with commentary videos with interactive coaching and progressive resistance in the near future. Just been crazy busy training, working, and building our school. Thanks for your continued support! - Patrick
Effective Martial Arts you’re welcome. It’s made a big difference for me already training BJJ. Last time I got to record some sparring, I finished my opponent with a head and arm choke, not sure when I’ll upload it though, as I’ve got lots of recordings to share. I did enjoy your old stuff too, especially the kwan dao form you did. I’m dealing with a cauliflower ear I got when rolling this monday... the blood isn’t hard and I’m worried that if I took a punch to the ear it might open up... I’ll call the doctor tomorrow and hear about possibly getting it drained.
Well said!
I saw videos of full contact fights using traditional martial arts, and violence was not inferior to MMA.
It is not martial art, but how it is used to make the difference.
Good point, Stefano.
Thank you.
My pleasure :)
The reason why I mentioned that you tell the truth about the different between MMA martial art and self defence is that you are very realist in what you saying and at the same time I noticed that most of the MMA fans forgot that even an MMA champion is not excluded to get bit up in the street fight from an expert. It bothers me one thing at MMA fans that if in a sports man like Khabib gets on the tup they lifts him up in glory as if it were like unbeaten even in the street fighting. What is your opinion of what I said?
Interesting point, Claudiu. Indeed, there are many more considerations in street vs MMA, but that being said, MMA is still the most realistic combat sport, and its rules are necessary to avoid permanent injuries for the athletes. I think training under the MMA rule set is a great method to develop self-defense abilities. It's all about power, timing, versatility and quick reaction time for problem solving under pressure, which is what you need in a fight. Hope this helps! - Patrick
Actually they are all connected. It how they are applied and their point of view is what separates them.
Some martial arts teach how to spar other people in your own art for example karateka's sparring another karateka. Although with karate there are many different styles and they all have a different approach.
Good stuffs Patrick !
Thanks, Diana!
The bottom line is you need self defence first you can be a world champion and still end up beat up or dead in real life if you don't have self defence
True. Thanks for the comment, jonmacist John.
Great Video 👍
Thanks 👍
nice patric
+Kiran nigam Thanks, Kiran :)
Do you think an applied form of wing txun might work?
Thanks for your question, Giacomo Vincenzoni. In my experience, certain elements of Wing Chun are useful, such as trapping, suppleness and hand sensitivity to gain a dominant position. However, you do need to add many more techniques and strategies to your arsenal to be effective. Hope this helps.

@@EffectiveMartialArts Do you think this is why there are so many self-proclaimed Wing Chun Masters who get beat up by MMA fighters? I personally think that they simply learn those techniques and believe they can take on anyone and always win, which is simply not true because like you said, some of Wing Chun techniques are indeed useful and effective, but you need to implement other moves as well into your fighting in order to become a strong martial artist.
KaMo Exactly. Furthermore, knowledge of technique is only one part of the equation; problem-solving skills under the pressure of a resisting opponent is another, along with proper strength and conditioning. “Masters” who get beat up so dramatically are lacking in all 3 areas. The recipe for effectiveness is simple (yet difficult): get in great shape like an athlete, learn what to do in every situation with minimal rules, and develop the skill to apply your techniques in a real situation using progressive resistance. Will expand more on this in future videos... Thanks for your comment! - Patrick
i know but can you still put it on please
+Kiran nigam I just sent the link to Paola's email :)
thanks.
Unfortunately, MMA brought an erroneous idea of martial arts. The first, especially in women and children, fighting is not defending. The weight, the size influences the chances of defending. Real Martial Art teaches to bring the fingers to the eyes, to bite, vital points. If we look at Kathy Long, champion of Kick Boxing, in her seminars she teaches herself to stick, fingers to her eyes, break and more. The reality is different, it's good to learn to endure a hit, but defending yourself is very different from fighting.
well said, sir ^^
Thanks!
i did not know you jade a youtube channel
+Kiran nigam Indeed, it's brand new, and we'll be posting all the techniques we learn in class, valuable health and fitness tips, plus interesting talks about martial arts theory... Subscribe to stay tuned :)
can you put the small idea form?
It's on our other channel, you can find it by simply searching for "small idea form".
Makes a lot of sense.
Awesome job mate. Krav maga while probably isn't considered a "martial art" as such, the definition martial is "war" krav maga was created in war therefore by definition it is a "martial art".
My personal opinion of the difference between the arts is mentality nothing more.
Both MMA and martial arts will work in a street confrontation if the person has the right mentality. Krav maga works on "untrained" individuals that know little or nothing. That's why I'll choose jiu-jitsu, wrestling and Muay Thai over krav maga any day of the week.
Krav maga is a course a few weeks long to instal aggression into potential soldiers which goes back to the mentality thing I spoke about.
Amazing video brother. I'll be subscribing.
Thanks for your comment, Paul! - Patrick
Make more bids. Your smart
Thanks, jokertp reloaded, much appreciated! Working on it :)
- Patrick
Like the truth what you sayed
Thanks, Claudiu! - Patrick
What are your thoughts on Krav Maga?
The concept is good, but they usually don't incorporate enough live, progressive resistance. Some schools are different.
so how old is sombo? is that not mixed matial arts?
Dude semantics and redefining terms doesn't really convey anything. I've heard this same speech by various people it is the same language used to sell dietary supplements. I'm not commenting on your martial ability just this type of monolog explaining how master coach person used science to collect all of the good fight stuff and none of the bad fake old dancing fight stuff. That doesn't say anything except you have something to sell it may be a fine fighting system and maybe not probably both but the only thing I got was you define things and you have answers about those things because science. I only mention it because I'm starting to hear it on CZcams ads so I just thought I'd mention it I could just be projecting my frustrations about those ads on your video I'm not sure.
