Hi Yusuke, you should check out their TH-cam channel, JKD Korea, the way they've practice the art was beautiful I recommend you to go check it out, it's super satisfying.
JKD uses elements of Fencing and Savate. Therefore, the lead hand and lead foot are very important. Also, if you train with shoes on, the points of contact are different. Savate even has a Stab Kick if you are wearing Dress Shoes or Pointy Shoes. But you can't really do this kick in Muay Thai or MMA because you have no shoes on :P
The shoes are Savate shoes.
Wonderful video, thank you!
Check out Togo Ishii's channel on youtube. He's a JKD instructor thats does some cool demonstrative videos
You should check out Togo ishii one inch channel. He is also a JKD practitioner as well.
Can't wait for this!! Yusuke has such enthusiasm and respect for different disciplines! He's so fun to watch and listen to!!
mr. respect
Yes indeed

If I remember correctly Bruce Lee was about taking every style he had learned and using things from each that were actually good in a real fight not for show, not for tournaments but a real street brawl. Also I think he was one of the first to challenge martial arts in general for some styles being basically useless in a fight and more to wow and entertain. Which is one of the main reasons he was so controversial in the martial arts community world wide as a whole.
“Absorb what is useful discard what is not and add what is uniquely your own”
Closest weapon to closest target. This man is a good fighter. He uses all kinds of techniques. When he pulls the front leg back it's a blitz technique. You are correct about Lee being influenced by fencing. JKD is a "no style" style.
It’s based on fencing... but it’s has no style... be aware of obvious contradictions... in your speech. It makes you juvenile and easily manipulated. Examine what you say and what is said to you and pick out incoherence, women especially will catch this and don’t you completely, also strong men will avoid you. Truth and Righteousness are absolute musts for success meaning you must catch yourself saying things which do not mesh with inner or outer reality. Do and say exactly what you hold to, even if you’re a cheater admitting as much will actually get you respect because coherence is more important to people then virtue. When you watch a movie or series when a character is written to do something that doesn’t match what you feel is that characters values it will upset more than a choice to do just about anything else. People would rather a writer kill a character than have them act in a way that is not coherent with what they have been told that character would do and is. Coherence is more important to people then being villainous. People will like villains they will even admire them and care for them but write them incoherently and they will hate them. Make a character do something that violates their perceived and declared values and people will rage. Same goes for people act in accordance and speak in a way which makes sense and even if you’re a jerk people will admire you. Talk out of both side of your mouth and contradict yourself and they will dislike you even if your nice and you help them. Really you’re just saying something you heard that sounded cool without actually thinking about it. Which again makes everything you say ring as suspicious. Tell one lie and every truth will be suspect. If a girl cheats every guy she hangs out with will be viewed as a possible lover even if they have no idea she’s like that. Coherence doing what falls in line with what you’ve already said is so primary to human behavior it’s difficult to find something more vital to master. So few people no this that you can look quite impressive predicting things about people just by listening. You can basically know when people are lying simply by what they have already disclosed about their behavior. People hold a tone a posture when they repeat what they have been told, likewise when they say things they don’t believe or plan on not following through with. This is actually why always making extraordinary efforts to tell the truth will pay off because people can’t predict you, most people lie and manipulate so they assume that everyone is, however is you always tell the truth then they will constantly read into your words and behaviors trying to outsmart you, if however your always simply being one hundred percent coherent they will stumble over there own thoughts. You can effortlessly maneuver in social circles without even trying. In case you didn’t notice social skills are actually the true battlefield most of our victories in life are made on. Martial arts is a beautiful microcosm of tactics but social dynamics is the deepest set of tactics one can study. Learning how to maneuver in order to get people to do as you wish without compromising your morals is the ultimate martial art. You can win much more than in any other place. Business, Romance, Friendship, Fame, Clicks or Fandoms you can win life with just a few basic skills. Most people want to be admired and appreciated and it’s why most people learn one art form or another, very very few people are purely doing something they love without thinking about what other people might feel or what they want others to feel. You will notice often the most admired people are not the best at what they do or even the most knowledgeable they are the most charming. Bottom line build your character properly and you won’t have to think about what to say or do to be liked. Or well received. I can tell you automatically you won’t receive this well because your entire intention was to write something people would appreciate. You didn’t write it for a stance of actually believing what you said because you wouldn’t have contradicted yourself. Best Wishes going forward hope this helps someday perfect themselves.
also impossible to create a lineage without a style... Bruce Lee was notorious when he was still hunting recognition for going on rants about various theoretical ideas he felt were correct including keeping the power hand forward. Using savat the kickboxing version of fencing created by professor dualists who wished to keep practicing fencing after duals were outlawed in france. Closest weapon to closest target. Accuracy and speed vs power etc. if you read the Tao of jet Kune do it’s a very loose essay on a lot of stylistic choices Bruce made. People that say it doesn’t have a style are making an excuse to be untrained. You can’t train, literally repeating a movement for muscle memory and not create a style. Closest weapon to closest target would create a style. Style is an individual artistic expression that can be identified as being something recognizable. You can tell the difference between swing and tango. You can tell the difference between Muay Thai and Karate, it comes through simply in how the body moves. The footwork alone in this video is identifiable as being influenced by Bruce Lee. The fact is Bruce Died while he was still more obsessed with acting then teaching and he had very few actual students in the late term. Poteet being probably the most legitimate but again these people are extremely stylistic in imitating Bruce’s style of movement. Especially his rythym and footwork. You could argue a lot of his striking was borrowed from IP Man but his footwork and posture and his constant pace changing are iconic. Long story short. You can readily identify JKD fighters almost immediately meaning they are extremely stylistic. Don’t kid yourself and repeat rhetoric without examining what you mean. You spent your entire paragraph describing deliberate choices being different then said it has no style. If it truly had no style it wouldn’t look any different than inexperienced untrained brawling.
@@dorjedriftwood2731 “Jeet Kune Do favors formlessness so that it can assume all forms and since Jeet Kune Do has no style, it can fit with all styles. As a result, Jeet Kune Do utilizes all ways and is bound by none and, likewise, uses any techniques or means which serve its end.”
- Bruce Lee
It must be terrible to be you. I'm so sorry.
Longest weapon to closest target
Theres no way i'm reading that 2nd post essay response even if at a surface level I agree with what its saying, and its kind of easy to prove.
If Jeet kun do is a "no style, style" why do all the movements look just like what bruce lee did. prime example the footwork at 1:47 after the low leg kick. I don't see anybody in mma or traditional martial arts moving like that, just bruce lee.
@@randyroo2 you can attribute that to a cultural aspect of students seeking the practice out of admiration for Bruce, which is my opinion on the matter.
When I used to practice TKD it wasn't uncommon for anyone to try out their own version of that footwork just to see if it clicked.
MMA also doesn't support groin shots and has ditched judo and jiu-jitsu moves that take advantage of clothing.
So maybe MMA lost form over function because of rules like these.
Most modern martial arts with a sporting version have lost or disfavoured techiniques that break sporting regulations, while that practice session showed fully clothed, shoes wearing and bike helmet equiped participants. I'd risk saying a sparring like that can get closer to street (unruled) fighting than even MMA.
Good analysis sensei! Great comparison between Karate and JKD. Maybe you could collaborate with Togo Ishii. He's a JKD instructor from Japan as well. He's been in many videos. Loved to see you discuss fighting principles with him!
There is a saying that; if you burned all the math texts, we would eventually rewrite those books exactly the same.
The same applies to martial arts I think
The low side kick is from Savate used as a stop hit also used in European fencing and so are many of the kicks. Bruce also learnt Karate, boxing, Taekwondo, jujitsu and synthesized these with his Win Chun skills from which the vertical punch is from. Next styles? Maybe Savate (sport version) and Chausson Marseilleise (street version) or a hard Chinese style like Hung Gar chuan or Choy Li Fut.
I'm guessing you're French?
Savate was created by French sailors…. Who learned from Africans who work on the ships. It’s root is an art called Engolo. West central Africa has allot of dance kick fighting style it’s the mother of capoeira. Every the French had blacks slaves they slaves did a dancing kicking art which was adapted into “Savate”
The low side kick I would assume was also taken from wing chun, as it is heavily taughy and is even in 3 of the forms. Also real leg stomp kick, but both of those kicks are also in Savate.
Fantastic comparison and analysis video, Sensei! Please review Wing Chun martial art in the future. I practice it on the side, on my own time in addition to Goju-Ryu, because my sensei told me that Wing Chun was one of the founding styles of Goju-Ryu, and in fact, the bunkai for Sanchin and Tensho katas is almost indistinguishable from the application Wing Chun's Siu Nim Tao open hand form.
there are different branches of jkd
i recommend checking out “original jkd (ted wong jkd)” which i practice that focuses on simple movements that are more direct and practical
“jkd concepts/ jun fan jkd” is what people usually see (wing chun based and mixing techniques from different arts) which is shown in this video
both are still jkd but they’re almost completely different from each other
I completely concur. Well put.
Reason being is that bruce taught everyone based on their abilities and understanding as jkd is not a mass produced system,you make it your own.i trained under ted wong in the early 90's and the emphasis was strongly on footwork which loved,later i trained under larry hartsell which was morw for my body type,im a stocky guy so my style was more of a stalker,cut off and trap,then attack kind of method,but i still use footwork as needed.every one of bruces students has something different to offer and it was an honor to learn from most of them before they passed away
wow I thought there only one JKD , I guess you learn something new everyday
@@demon6937 JKD is basically like MMA in the sense that every instructor teaches their own curriculum.
I trained with Larry Hartsell as my teacher was an instructor under him. I perfected y footwork by watching Ted Wong videos- I would have enjoyed being a Ted Wong student. I've trained with William Cheung at his school, and with Dan Inosanto at his seminars. I'd categorized three types of JKD: Jun Fan, JKD and Inosanto blend of JKD with Silat/Dumog/Kali/BJJ.
2:20 That stomping kick to the knee is popular/hated in MMA also. It has caused some career ending injuries. He probably aimed for the thigh as not to injure his sparring partner.
You should collaborate, and train with Togo Ishii. He's a good Jeet Kune Do Instructor from Japan.
th-cam.com/video/BBXSFRTL-rE/w-d-xo.html
Bruce eventually moved away from the name Jeet Kune Do, wanting to avoid the division, infighting, and politics that would come with having a “system.” Which is exactly what happened anyway, lol. That said, he went through four phases in America: traditional Wing Chun, modified Wing Chun, Jun Fan Gung Fu, then Jeet Kune Do. There was technical overlap as one system transitioned into the next, the biggest shift happening after his Oakland showdown with Wong Jack Man. Which brings up the other breakdown of Lee’s progression: the Seattle, Oakland, and Los Angeles periods, referring to what was being practiced when Bruce lived in those cities. If you teach what was taught back then, it’s often referred to as ORIGINAL JKD.
Dan Inosanto, however, who was handed the JKD name and was into martial arts research like his sifu, added to the original curriculum by teaching what he called JKD CONCEPTS, which uses the art’s methodology to test, modify, and incorporate elements from other systems like Kali, silat, Muay Thai, and BJJ. Harinder Singh, the instructor in the video, is a student of Dan’s student Paul Vunak, one of the most realistic, street-focused JKD teachers you’ll find.
As for karate, Bruce knew many techniques and kata, could perfectly mimic the karateka he’d seen and worked with, and admired the art’s strong emotional focus. You can totally see it in his movies, particularly Fist of Fury. With his kicking, a lot of arts were an influence-Wing Chun, Northern-style kung fu, karate, Taekwondo, savate, Muay Thai-but by the end of his life he was basically fencing with his hands and feet and doing what Dan describes as “dirty Muay Thai.” When the Hong Kong press asked him about his famous screen kicks, he credited his Taekwondo friend Jhoon Rhee. Boxing was also a huge influence, starting after his disappointingly long Oakland fight and encouraged by his buddy Leo Fong, who used boxing as his base. And despite what Tarantino would have you believe, Bruce LOVED Ali, particularly his footwork and evasiveness.
Oh, and if I haven’t said it yet, lol, wonderful analysis.
Most of what you said is correct but , Bruce never moved away from JKD and he just handed over the teaching to Dan Inosanto , it was Jun Fan Gung Fu/ Jeet Kune Do , that was the last phase and the one that endures today . Ted Wong was primarily taught by Guru Dan , who also gave him his instructorship , although Ted would never admit it . And last point ,JKD can not be taught because everybody is different .
@@williamsmith9699 My understanding is Bruce closed all three schools to avoid commercializing his art, and verbally handed the JKD name to Dan. If he decided to use it, he was told to keep the teaching small and personal like they’d done in their backyard sessions. However, after Bruce’s death, keeping things small proved impossible, so Dan came up with JKD Concepts, which explored other arts, taught Jun Fan Gung Fu as part of its curriculum, and let him expand his operations without violating Bruce’s request. In fact, NO ONE is allowed to call what they're teaching just “JKD," hence Original JKD, Jun Fan JKD, Oakland JKD, Ted Wong or Jerry Poteet JKD, etc. Seattle students Jesse Glover and James Demile, who were around before the Jun Fan or JKD stages, called their stuff Non-Classical Kung Fu and Wing Chun Do.
As for Bruce, he realized “The Way of the Intercepting Fist” was a limitation because you don’t always have to intercept and you don’t have to label the way or path you’re on if you’re the only one walking it, so he let go of the name. However, since his art is based on a set of physical and philosophical principles he found to be true, it CAN be taught. It’s just that once you’ve used it to find what works for you, the art isn't Bruce’s-it’s yours. Just don’t call it “JKD,” lol.
@@randalwung8715 , Bruce turned it over to Guru Dan because he was moving back to China , to pursue his acting career . He felt stifled her in the States . JKD has always been personal, as per Bruce and Guru Dan . That is why even Bruce said it could not be taught because we are all different , we all have different attributes .
@@williamsmith9699 We all have different attributes but, as Bruce liked to say, “We all have two arms and two legs.” For instance, the principle of longest weapon to nearest target is true no matter who the practitioner is: The closer your fist or foot is to an opponent, the less distance it has to travel and the faster it will reach its target. However, attributes like speed, timing, and power; age, height, and weight; mental and physical aggressiveness, affect how well you can use that principle to your advantage. Bruce could drop you with a jab; not everyone can do that. He knew this. Which is why he felt his art couldn’t be passed on in a large-scale setting but only through reduced, personalized instruction tailored to people’s specific needs-something he couldn’t give without interrupting his own training and film work, and something he couldn’t monitor if he wasn’t around to oversee his schools.
@@randalwung8715 , sorry but you are just not trying to understand . What I am telling you is straight from Guru Dan's mouth . Not an interview you read or whatever . Guru told me , he told Bruce back in '66 when Bruce started his journey in to JKD that nobody was like him and could not do everything he did . Everybody is different . That is why , anybody who teaches Jun Fan Gung Fu will tell you , everybody's JKD is different , it is seeking your own path . That is what JKD is about .
Sifu Singh is one of the best out there and a really cool guy. Many of JKDs kicks come from Savate.

Hey man, great video. I also really enjoy your film reactions. Can I recccomend The Best of the Best 1989.
I wanted to say something about Jeet Kune Do. It translates as The Way of the Intercepting Fist. Bruce was very specific that it is not a style, but a way of fighting. It has no fixed positions for example. Bruce didnt believe in styles anymore at that point so instead of assuming one form, Jeet Kune Do can assume all forms, its very fluid and natural. It also sets the groundwork for modern MMA.
I don't know if that spin hook kick is JKD but Bruce Lee did work with Jhoon Rhee so some of their kick are very similar to karate/TKD kick.
Absolutely. Some maybe he worked with Chuck Norris to some degree. But agreed, his kicking foundation is TKD-based from my own grandmaster Jhoon Rhee. In the exchange with Bruce, the branch of TKD I follow is heavily influenced by Bruce in that many of the forms and combinations we do are non-traditional and borrow from boxing and other styles.
@@ajw9975 Chuck Norris is also Tang Soo Do so if he learn anything from him it will be very similar to Taekwondo anyway
th-cam.com/video/BBXSFRTL-rE/w-d-xo.html
The hook kick is. The backward spinning kick is. They are seperate movements.
If strictly Jeet Kune Do, Ted Wong recommended Indoor Soccer Shoes. There are three basic kicks: Straight, Side, and Hook. With footwork and distance, there will be variations of those basic kicks; and the five basic punches: straight, hook, corkscrew, shovel, and backfist. Spinning back kick is one of those variations.
th-cam.com/video/BBXSFRTL-rE/w-d-xo.html
Indoor soccer is usually played on artificial grass and thus the shoes have spikes in the bottom. I'm sure they provide effective kicks ;)
Really looking forward to this.
Could you react to more Bruce Lee stuff?
P.s. Love your content!!
This was a great breakdown, definitely an impressive clip. I'd love to see some of your sparring as well, Yusuke!
I love your analysis!
Many regard Bruce as the forefather of modern MMA; and there is a lot of truth to that. A lot of that guy's handwork (involving trapping and simultaneous block/counter) is a characteristic trait of Wing-Chun kung fu. But he also mixed in WC with a LOT of boxing hand and footwork (he was an admirer of Muhammed Ali).
Incidentally, Bruce also trained and became friends with your own Sensei Chuck Norris!
Bruce's kicks are mainly taekwondo-based, as taught to him by my own grand-master Jhoon Rhee. Search up Jhoon Rhee and Bruce Lee and you will see many photos of those two training together. Jhoon also wrote a book titled "Bruce and I". From what ive been told by Jhoon's students, Bruce became a much loved and respected friend of Jhoon.
th-cam.com/video/BBXSFRTL-rE/w-d-xo.html
This was a drill. the student gave some controlled resistance. it's more a form of semi free sparring that's more realistic than ippon kumite, but certainly less realistic than full on sparring. It's useful to build reactions and show the camera how techniques work against retracting punches, from a mobile base. But yeah not a full on sparring session.
Agreed. Just a demo with a student. Not realistic. I think Bruce Lee would used more boxing punches.
You are right. The opponent didn't give much resistance so the main antagonist could shine. But it had this advantage of showing of most of JDK basic principals.
th-cam.com/video/BBXSFRTL-rE/w-d-xo.html
My understanding is that JKD is not a style, but a process.
Bruce Lee studied traditional Wing Chun. As he began analyzing and broke down what he had been given, he broke away from that style and began to incorporate concepts from other arts. Eventually, he began to see the principles shared by all arts.
This process in Japanese arts is known as Shu Ha Ri.
You cannot understand the process by watching a sparring video. You would have to study WC, get and idea of its principles, and study the arts Bruce Lee studied. Even then, you won't understand JKD, you will only understand Bruce Lee's JKD.
I've never trained JKD but read books and watch videos, I wouldn't judge JKD by just this video, like you said there different classes and teachers that teach differently just like all martial arts
th-cam.com/video/BBXSFRTL-rE/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video! To answer your question, the onitsuka tigers they’re were are just a great all around shoe that are light and sturdy. Good for running and ankle mobility as well.
Side note, the spinning hook kick was not technically jkd, but in sparring sometimes it’s good to have fun and be spontaneous. Jkd primarily focuses on being simple and direct so spinning moves are not typically considered jkd.
Hope this helps!
The high spin kick with the rear foot is a JKD kick: used sometimes to create an opening against a skilled opponent. Bruce based JKD on Wing Chun and as such it is very effective for close range. He then incorporated the fencing moves to make it effective for midrange also. He stressed defense and offensive simultaneously: Pos. + and Neg. - completing the TAO (or simply beat you to the punch: i.e. by intercepting your intentions). Karate keeps offense and defense separated for the most part. I know we use blocks as strikes in Karate but it’s still a strike when used that way. There is no need to pull the punch backwards first as in karate. The punches and kicks come fast and from all directions making JKD very difficult to defend against. It’s more of a philosophy than a style bc what works for me might not work for you and it’s constantly adapting.
I enjoy your lessons very much. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
You are correct. The reason JKD is so powerful is because we attack and defend simultaneously, and we are trained not to telegraph our attacks at all.
jeet kune do is different for each person that learns it. You practice it until you make the style your own. Just like all martial arts do the basics till the basics are completely natural to your body and have become muscle memory. Muscle memory is the most important part of Martial Arts period.
at 2:00 that was aimed at his groin. Answer for question at 3:22 , Yes. We are taught to keep our weight over our center. The step is a lunge. And yes , we know all 6 elbow strikes. In answer to question at 4:20, the first one was a hook kick, the one after your question was a front kick and a side kick. We do a lot of traps too but they can't because of gloves. Re : comment at 5:45, yes it is a combination of Western Boxing, Fencing, and Wing Chun Gung Fu. at 5:52, the groin shot isn't a back fist it's a palm strike. As far the groin combination, that's a #15. We are taught 25 combinations and then each one of them is elaborated on. at 6:35, yes it is that's a spinning back kick. We can do it either direction. We actually are taught to kick in a circle that covers all angles. at 6:50. We have shoes on because it's realistic and scientific street fighting. You are typically going to have your shoes on when you fight. And it does not inhibit our sliding because we are taught specifically how to use the force of our push to slide and lunge. Hope this helps Brother! - Christopher Robertson. 3rd Generation Bruce Lee, 12th Rank Sihing JKD.
Hi Sensei, Ed Parker’s American Kenpo before all of the different personalizations incorporate Jeet kung do. The emphasis was speed, fluidity, and using the closest weapon against the closest target so front side attacks are key.
I don’t know if the spinning hook kick is a jeet kung do kick but it is in kenpo. Ed Parker’s Kenpo emphasizes a lot of sliding your feet so you can feel the ground without having to see it. You will see a lot of what we call “V-stepping” when we practice our kata.
*longest weapon against closest target.
That was a wheel kick not a hook kick which can look similar but are different in execution. Wheel kick keeps the leg straight while the hook kick flexes the leg. Wheel kick is in JKD but popularity varies depending on school. It is a spinning attack so it is only meant to be used as a mixup and not used frequently which is why you won't see it that much.
@@roberttallafer2299 yeah i know it has different names (which i stated above)… in TKD a wheel kick hits with the side of the foot, as in Kenpo. He hit with the heal which, in the disciplines ive studied is a spinning hook kick. Like i said, im not a practitioner of direct JKD, but only know the incorporations adopted by Ed Parker. If i knew nothing at all, i would be calling is a “roundhouse” which is a clear indication of an untrained person and always makes me laugh but pity them at the same time. Respectfully asking and to compare notes (on going learning), what do you practice?
Edit- i get what you mean now about the JKD wheel kick. In Kenpo and TKD (military not WTF) it’s meant as seen or, more lethally, to hit the cervical spine.
The spinning back kick thing he insists on doing in every video he makes is him showing off. It's sometimes used by others to train attributes, but not as an actual technique.
@@rantingfatman4555 it’s flashy and like is often said “in a fight, never kick above the waist” but it is a legitimate kick. There are multiple variations, wheel, hook, back (or horse, depending on the style) , and side kick can all be performed spinning. Their usefulness in real competitive or street fight is highly questionable.
@@rperez64 I mean specifically to JKD. It's not a technique used. There are a ton of other arts that use it, and many use it very well in their competitions. But in JKD, longest weapon nearest target is one of the primary principals and kicking above the waist or spinning is absolutely contrary to that principal (and several more).
Thank you for all videos! I am learning from this. Bow, and lotus hands.
The shoes are a tradition carried over from chinese gung fu, maybe because of perosnal hygiene or maybe because they never trained in a dojo originally, more like they would train outside and on terraces/balcony's. Basically slip on light shoes with rubber soles. U could use Crocs/ slides if u wanted to haha
But could also be that chinese kung fu use every available weapon, long nails for instance, bruce would do eye strikes, so maybe long toenails also 🤦🏻♂️😂 shoes to protect his opponents eyes lol
The shoes are because Bruce Lee always intended fighting to be for the streets. Look at pictures of him and his students, they are generally in street clothes and street shoes with some notable exceptions.
@@ronrodriguez8971 bruce lee? Shoes in chinese martial arts existed before bruce lee the philosopher....
Exactly, Bruse Lee´ s JKD movements are close to fencing, known for using timed attacks before, during or after the opponent´s attack. His playing with the diustance is what I like most. Paul,67, retired istructor of Karate
Another thing I noticed here was the discussion on the knee chambering for kicks in JKD (at around 4:50). There is also another kind of kick that they include that is NOT chambered which comes from Bruce's interest in Savate. Their kicks kind of scoop up from the ground towards the target without chambering in most cases and can be quite sneaky. So, there is also those types of kicks within the style that do not include that particular common element. It means that if a JKD player notices you watching the knee effectively to predict and short circuit his kicks, he has an answer for that in his bag of tricks, too.
always love seeing experts cover JKD and its "keep what is useful to oneself and toss the chaff".
look up Bruce lee's Non telegraphed moves you might enjoy it alongside your Minimal movement. "I do not fear a man who practices 1000 kicks, i fear the man who has practiced 1 kick 1000 times."
its a fun style that even those that train together can end up with different styles.
been self student since the 90s to bruce's teachings.
The differences you're spotting in footwork patterns are mainly due to the 5 basic ways of Attacking in JKD's system:
Simple Angular Attack or Simple Direct Attack (SDA or SAA) - Also known as "being blasty", this is seen at 1:23 and 5:37 decently with the straight lead
Attack By Combination (ABC) - Ye olde 1-2-3 progression where one technique is setting up the path or possibility of the next. This is seen at 2:38 and 3:53.
Progressive Indirect Attack (PIA) - This is where there seems to be a break in the rhythm, but it is all really part of one combination. Seen here if you take the low line kick at 2:31 and understand that this is putting the opponent's focus down low in order to pull off the ABC at 2:38.
Immobilization Attacks (IA) - The "Stop Hit" or "Trapping" are both forms of this. The same kick at 2:31 represents this. A version with the classic Wing Chun style can be seen at 6:12. The earlier kick version though accomplishes the setup for the combo by drawing focus down low, but it also throws a wrench in the opponent's own rhythm and forward motion.
Attack By Drawing (ABD) - "Drawing the opponent in" is a pretty classically understood concept in most martial arts. Seen here right before the same combination at about 2:36/2:37. He's retreating which happens right after stopping the opponent with that stop kick at 2:31. Confusing the opponent's natural rhythm. Stopping them. Then asking them to chase him again. Luring him to lean in as he pulls that leg back and allows the "water" mentioned by Yusuke san here to crash in with the combination attack at 2:38. Another great example can be seen at 6:18 where he deliberately leaves himself "vulnerable" after a high kick only to lower that kick into the opponent's knee as they try to come in on it.
Very awesome analysis yet again.
I came across your video because of your reaction to the karate kid. Loving the videos, keep it up!
In response to your question about their footwear and the mat/footwear topic that comes up sometimes: I feel that wrestling shoes are the way to go. They're perfect for this stuff. They're great for sparing/practicing on (even off) the mats because they give you the dexterity of being barefoot, good traction, and designed to not damage the mats. They're also more hygienic than barefoot or socks as a bonus. Should check them out if you never have. You might like them too. I think they're really comfortable.
I think they're wearing some form of wrestling shoes there, but not entirely sure. Usually they lace up higher up the ankle to provide ankle support, which is one of the benefits of them. Helps avoid ankle injuries especially if you're doing a lot of footwork they they're doing.
You should look up Tommy Carruthers , He studied and or seek many of Bruce's original student from all three era's in Mr Lee development. He is a practitioner of original JKD.
Vert 👊- Wing Chun -eliminates hyper-extending elbow/ elbow break
Similar in Isshin-ryu. In fact, I see a ton of similarities between JKD and Isshin-ryu. Kinda makes sense as both innovators had similar philosophy: eliminate wasted motion, adopt what works / toss what doesn't, focus on better body mechanics than "tradition" would dictate.
They say that jeet kune do don't work. Although it is in fact the style that founded mma. Bruce lee has study so many styles such as tai chi, wing chun, northern shaolin, Traditional Karate, taekwondo, judo, wrestling, jujitsu, boxing and arnis. Plus, jeet kune do combines the Cha cha Dance as his Stance
Jeet kune do isn't actually a style, it's just a hybrid philosophy. Plus, jeet kune do using a no rules techniques such as hitting to the groin. That is vaguely resemble krav maga's method.
We strike alot with lead hand/foot in jkd. theory is closest weapon to nearest target. As far as shoes go your usually not in barefeet on the street and the shoe offers protection to your foot and can be used as a weapon in itself. If that jkd person has a savate influence then they will favor it. If the shoe has a deep tread it makes it hard to move. Something to play with for sure. I train with wrestling shoes and half time bare feet. I am with Guro Dan Inosanto lineage. So many different groups out there.
Jeet Kune Do is a very mental system, they use or are supposed to use the 5 ways of attack (the strategy of Jeet Kune Do) which is from fencing - 1) Simple Angle attack, 2) Attack by combination, 3)Hand Immobilization Attack, 4) Progressive Indirect Attack and 5) Attack By Drawing .
Jeet Kune Do is pretty cool once you get good at it
Please do a video reacting to UFC middleweight champion Isreal "The Last Stylebender" Adesanya!
I watched his reaction to Bruce’s “ONLY fight just yesterday…prior to seeing this.
He says this very thing, about Fencing, in that video. I never even REALIZED that, till this young man pointed it out. Well done, sir.
Nice video. The higher level guy incorporates some core JKD principals: Strong side forward, broken rhythm, stop hits and hand trapping. He was also functional on the ground using some BJJ and MMA techniques. A true JKD practitioner should keep evolving in all ranges of combat, armed and unarmed.
When I took JKD, I was taught to keep my strong side forward, so basically it was like reverse Western boxing.
LOVE your analysis....JKD does not have any particular type of shoe....you adapt and wear anything that makes you comfortable in this video those sneakers were the comfortable option for those fighters ...I usually wear my boots so when I kick they do not fly off lol
I only wear boots to comfort my sensitive feet i cant stand so much as a tiny prick from something you may step on in the grass or house floor 😂
Footwear is up to the practitioner. In my past JKD training, I used to wear wrestling shoes or barefoot. Nowadays I wear Inov8 minimalist sneaker. You should look at Paul Vunak's material. He's a JKD and Kali student of Dan Inosanto. Chris Kent is another JKD practitioner. Yuri Nakamura is another Inosanto student who teaches out of Tokyo. You should compare all three and see what's same and different.
As a JKD practitioner myself for the last 20 years one thing you need to know is the mobility of the art and what JKD WAS designed for. JKD was designed to eliminate the fancy mess of martial arts styles by adapting what is useful to you from a particular style and discarding the rest. JKD is also an art built more around western boxing, fencing, and savate. You can see the elements of savate in the low kicks and footwork, But you can also see the western boxing in the footwork, hand and head movement including the way punches are delivered, and lastly Fencing can be seen in the bend in the knees and straight-line focus of the incoming attack, Some who fences if you watch the guy's straight punch attack looks like a fencer moving in with a lunging slide instead of a step this allows for a faster retreat if need be also JKD uses a lot of high kicks derived from TKD. But the main purpose of JKD is to stay mobile and deliver fast direct and accurate strikes to the head and mostly lower Body. Bruce stated one time that the man who is better trained with the hands will always win the engagement and I totally agree, while the feet can deliver devastating blows they are also easier to see coming by the movement of the hips unless you use a draw to get your opponent to drop their guard. Bruce used to do this a lot, he would use his left or right hand to gain your focus on where the hand was, and as soon as he had your full attention on that particular body part you got nailed by a different one. If I had to say what style influenced JKD more than any other I would say western boxing.
However I myself also have a first degree black in Kenpo which relies heavily on staying to the outside of the opponent or moving to the outside with, draws and feigns to deliver blows to the outside of the body that are harder to get away from and harder to set up counters for. So for me, I combine JKD with movement towards the outside instead of direct straight in and set up. For example, we have all had that one person who swung on us with a haymaker, for me I can see this coming a mile away so I already know and have my body trained on how and what to do when this happens. I drop almost into a standard horse stance but position my left foot as they swing to be on the outside of their body when the punches momentum carries through so my balance is centered as the punch goes over the head allowing me full access for a sternum or solar plex punch to take the wind out of the sails, it also puts me to the outside of their body to deliver a low kick to the leg or and open ridge hand tp the jawline or head. I've used the same combo a handful of times in real situations and it works phenomenally and the fight is over at this point. First goes the wind then the lights lol. But I also boxed in the military and boxed as a kid so I have a great understanding of a person's intent and body language in almost any scenario.
Also, notice, as the aggressor goes in his weight, is distributed to the front leg and his rear leg is bent and on the ball and toes of the foot, This allows for a much faster and harder push forward which in turn allows for a faster and harder strike with less time and reaction to the attack as to be countered or gotten away from. This also allows for a faster retreat or sidestep.
Savate was never mentioned anywhere in anything I've been trained in.
Great video Yusuke Sensei, actually there are a lot of similarities between Shotokan point fighting and JKD in this video but also many differences of course. But one thing is for sure I love your mindset and your approach to other Martial art styles. Respect...!!!
This really feels like American boxing but with your hands and feet.
It’s a true mix of the east and the west
I studied Wing Chun for several years. And this style is basically freestyle Wing Chun. Anyone that knows Wing Chun , Ip Man, or Bruce Lee knows this. I appreciate the open mind presented in this video.
how this guy moves and his method you can definately see Bruce
Bruce Lee used what was commonly call a dragon stance, but he also in corporated a little bit of boxing foot work. But this isn't quiet traditional Bruce Lee Jee kun do style.
That was Jun fan gungfu, before Bruce created JKD. What you see is legit Bruce Lee style JKD.
Answering the "Shoe-Question":
I am not sure if you mean by "sliding" the concept of Shotokan and other Karate styles to keep the feet in Kata and Kihon so close to the ground and sliding with the feet? If yes: Think about how unrealistic this movement is, if you are not practicing or fighting on a nice even hardwood floor. This is a development of "Indoor Karate", which is actually pretty stupid.
1.The shoes which became famous because Bruce Lee used them for training are ironically japanese sport shoes from "Onitsuka Tiger" (Asics).
I prefer more the "Adidas Samba" or other similar simple "Futsal/Indoor Soccer" shoes or even "Chucks", because of the flat sole.
The chinese "Feiyue"-Sneaker, a simple old sport shoe from the 1920s, very popular among "Kung Fu people" for forms and among "Parcour Runners".
2. There are shoes especially made for martial arts training, like "Taekwondo Shoes" from different branches (Adidas, Kwon, Nike, even Fila), with variants for "Indoor" and "Outdoor" use.
There are also "Savate boots" (hard to get outside of France) since "Savate/Boxe Fraincaise" is always practiced in these shoes.
And of course there are "Wrestling shoes".
Look At Jerry Poteet's Jeet Kune Do Videos those are showing Jeet Kune Do how it was done before Bruce Lee 's death.
Also look at Tao Of Jeet Kune Do (The Book), it has the writings and drawings of Bruce Lee and explains in detail the strategy of the system,
and uses a lot of fencing terminology, something that most of the Jeet Kune Do schools don't do today.
Wrestling shoes. Just started watching your videos. I am enjoying. They were wearing wrestling shoes though, very soft and flexible.
low kicks is a featur of wing chun -- focusing the shin, the ankle, the knee , the inside thight, it is much more about taking the weapon away
in dance it is all about weight, and weight-shifting, balance, body awareness and body awareness in relation to space. a lot of similarities with martial arts. in our dance style we see many dancers with a MA background moving really well
Bruce started MMA; JKD is a mixture of different martial arts along with wrestling and grappling; look at his movie Enter the Dragon; in the beginning Bruce is wearing MMA gear along with gloves
When I was in JKD class I was told thst wearing shoes was to simulate the real world when you have to defend yourself.
Bruce Lee evolved Jeet Kune Do (JKD) as the years passed. Its development can be divided into three: (1) Jun Fan with Taky Kimura being the main student, (2) Early form Jeet Kune Do with Danny Inosanto as the main student, and (3) Jeet Kune Do before he died with Ted Wong as main student. If I'm not mistaken, the form you see in the video is that of Ted Wong's. Jun Fan looks more like Wing Tsun than JKD, and at the hands of Dan, his JKD evolved into a mixture of JKD and FMA (Filipino Martial Arts -- stick fighting, weapons). Ted Wong was the one who kept it as pure as possible.
To answer some of the questions you had... In Jeet Kune Do, although most people learn first the particular style that Bruce Lee had, there is no specific way of punching or kicking. You bring the style that works for you into the Jeet Kune Do system. For example, I did boxing so when I punch I punch as a boxer, but I use the principles from JKD to mix it with muay thai, wing chun and philipino dirty boxing. So you can mix karate with some of the trapping from wing chun and philipino gunting. Not every technique works for everybody but the techniques are supposed to build attributes as a fighter so that you can flow from one system to another easily and naturally.
About the shoes, no they don't use any special shoes. At least not when I did it. Once a week we were supposed to even use our regular everyday clothes because a fight breaks with no warning. This is how I know some of my limitations before I kick high wearing jeans. Some people are very good at kicking no matter what they wear, not me. I need to know my limitations if someone is trying to kick my ass.
I hope this answers your questions.
The footwork is inspired by fencing
Great analysis. Next You can see Krav Maga. Both are practiced with shoes because they are not for sport, but for real life, JKD is the first type of MMA. Many say that Bruce Lee was the father of MMA, he used any martial art he could find, stripped it of what was not practical, and left the fastest way to take your opponent down. Krav Maga is the Israel Defense Force member invention, with the same goal - fast disabling of an opposing small members' attack on a small scale.
Bruce Lee was serious about philosophy. His fight philosophy is centered around the idea of ending conflicts as quickly as possible. This is why you see so many groin shots. It's also why you keep moving at all times. Win fast.
My uncle who taught me aikido in the 90s studied JKD as well as Karate and boxing. I distinctly remember him telling me JKD was for people who'd studied other disciplines prior to JKD, Apparently Bruce Lee's vision for JKD was every student had a different journey and path, therefore outcome, so no 2 JKD students would have the same style. Basically you get good at one or two other styles then go to JKD to "tune your own style". At least that's how it was described to me
6:55 I always wore cross training shoes. My instructor required we have a set of shoes for practice ONLY...he didn't want us walking into class and using shoe that have dog poo or rocks stuck in the treads.
That quick knee Jan/hook (couldn’t WUITE tell, in real-time. So much JKD is based on pure SPEED & surprise…hence this very move) to the effing KNEE is so creative AND effective. Just don’t get caught by a counter kick. But, who the HELL is gonna counter, with a KICK. Most will see “Punch Coming…” & instinctively Counter-PUNCH.
love your videos, may you react to japanese ju jitsu?
Which ryūha? There are many different styles of jūjutsu in Japan, and each looks fairly different from one another.
I sparred with someone that knew jeet koon do and I actually tore ligaments in my wrist falling. We did not mean to hurt each other we was friends. But I fell wrong. But it is a very powerful form of self defense.
Bruce incorporated some of Ed Parker’s American Kenpo into JKD. In Kenpo we do punch with a vertical fist. I am glad you saw that. My base is Kenpo. I’ve also studied JKD, it’s amazing the similarities to Kenpo at times! Bruce pulled from a lot of different styles. As you said JKD can definitely be called a freestyle type of martial art. Bruce was MMA before there was MMA!
4:22 reminds me of Lerdsila's "Question Mark" kick - except this is a lot slower and clumsier than Lerdsila's.
Brilliant video😃
Bruce lee took techniques from styles like wing chun boxing kali savate fencing karate tkd kung fu styles like choy li fut i think praying mantis judo jujitsu etc dan insanto added silat muay thai
Check out Togo Ishi JKD! He’s one JKD practitioner that I just discovered that shows a lot of great techniques. Another guy is Tommy Carruthers fr the UK! Really impressive guys.
Nice vids man.
I respect all martial arts. Trained Wing Chun for many years.
Have you seen the Jun Fan Kung Fu books?
JDK is perhaps the first MMA.
Worth checking out. The precursor to The Tao of Jeet Kune Do
5:23 GSP in MMA often did that reaching jab. It was very effective and his jabs broke jaws and noses quite often.
He's not using trapping much ( Hand Immobilization Attack) ,
but he's using the other 4 ways of attack.
Not a style, but otherwise, well observed. But jeet kun do is a very personal martial art. Every practitioner you find will be a little different, as its a way of doing things rather than a style. As bruce would say.. Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own.” each Martial artist has his own personalized version of it, but it is the way they approach it that is similar. But you are highly unlikely to find two jeet kun do practitioners that are practicing what you might think of as an identical form of fighting. Each will have something uniquely their own, occasionally some similarities, but while different, all based on a similar set of principles.
Ps. Ive actually trained with Dan Inosanto a couple times, and one of his grand master students has been my primary instructor. Just so you understand where I am coming from. Cheers.😉
There are many martial arts shoes available now that look similar, but I believe originally Bruce and his student's were wearing wrestling shoes. A couple of his student's had wrestling (and Judo) experience.
I am not a martial arts practitioner but the shoes look like wrestling shoes which have tread under the toes so you can balance when you push off and are very smooth under the rest of the foot.
I don't understand how there can be schools of JKD. If BL was alive today his JKD would be totally different from back then. He spoke of the "formless form". He integrated everything from everywhere if he found it useful. JKD is not attached to any form but open to all forms and styles. It questions itself. It changes when necessary. So that's why I don't understand how one can identify a style as "Oh, that's JKD!" How? Just because it resembles a BL of the old times? BL would have made "old BL" obsolete if he was true to the spirit of JKD. Or did I get something wrong?
Bruce Lee did mention Savate in his book, so I imagine they are probably using wrestling shoes like they do in Savate. They are pretty easy to move in.
Same I never trained in JKD but I did some training in IP Man style wing chun and they are pretty similar in some ways...
A couple things you don’t have to wear shoes but it is preferable because it is a street fight art or real world application however you want to perceive it. Jeet kune do is almost like a scavenger art any martial art can be put into this art to make it more efficient for the person it is all about personal preference Bruce Lee made it so it can be individual for the person specifically not the group. I hope this helps.
I wish I can message you directly. I'm good at working stuff over messages. I wish I can go to Japan you are very educated and not biased meaning you don't say something bad about a fighting style or said something bad about anyone you just learn I wish you could be my teacher and my sensei
You missed it...he feints
Draws the attacker in and then sweeps the leg with a low kick and hits with a straight fast punch at the same time.
Hi Yusuke!
If you want more JKD, I highly recommend you look up Dan Inosanto (Bruce Lee's closest friend and top student/certified JKD instructor) and Ron Balicki (Inosanto's student and JKD instructor as well). There's an interview with Dan talking about Lee and what JKD is; long video but worth watching. There's also a video of him demonstrating Wing Chun and JKD's similarities and differences. Balicki has an 8 volume video on Jun Fan Gung Fu (the basics of JKD). I hope you enjoy them
Jeet kune do is more linear and central with hands facing angles. Kick hitting central.he used techniques we wouldn't use.and overall he's like sixty five percent using jeet kune do but also sparring.he probably would use more destructive measures when actually fighting.but jkd is a blend of multiple mixed martial arts centralizing and actualizing the arts for a reason
Check out Togo Ishi’s jeet kune do videos, theyre funny and in Japanese as well! His movements are also more crisp than this practitioner’s because of his longer experience.
I recently watch one of Togo Ishii video he is one of the master that teach Jeet Kune Do, I would recommend watching his video, he explain some of the moves pretty well. Its pretty interesting
I think these are special martial arts shoes, you often see TKD practitioners wear the same kind of shoe as the men in the video. Great breakdown as usual, thank you Yusuke.
I'd Say it evolved a lot, it's close to mma of today , the short dude seems like he knows what he's doing offensively, but defensively there's a lot of oppenings, against a decent mma fighter he will get hit more than once .
Bruce Lee, Miyamoto Musashi. and many others found different ways to make things work One thing that is a constant is to allways be able to adapt and be fluid and never stop learning. We trained with sneakers on, work boots, shoes and on many different types of ground because you can never know when or where something could happen.
You check out Enshin karate ,out of Denver Colorado , they have a tournament called sabaki.
if i was to guess, i would guess some of the attacks are slightly put off on purpose because they are just sparring, no need to chance destroying his knee or punching him in the groin repeatedly. so you drop the attack off near the actual target to show what you could have done to them in a real fight in the same circumstance
1 mustb Very good being SO Open at X!
Fascinating look at JKD, I only have minimal knowledge of it but it's a very interesting art.
You're mostly correct about the vertical punch. Imagine punching with a fist that is almost vertical, but upon impact you contract all
the muscles in your body, turn your wrist completely vertical, and drill your fist into the opponent. Probably after a few times of
practicing this technique, you might feel your punches are much stronger than before.
Close. Imagine a whip. You start at your feet, bring it up through your hips and then down your center line through your fist. You keep your fist relaxed until the last second, when you squeeze your fist as hard as you can, and you flick the bottom knuckles in an almost imperceptible upwards direction. That would be a correct JKD punch.
