In any striking art a good understanding of footwork ( and having good footwork) is pretty damned essential and, IMO, one that is greatly overlooked ( particularly in my area of expertise in Wing Chun).
Regardless of your background the guys here make excellent points 👍
I'd also say to go take a look at 52 blocks... Their footwork is incredible
Ever seen a fight in a packed pub ? Amazing how much space suddenly seems to appear. Footwork and balance are everything.
It took you months to teach me decent footwork. Been practicing JKD, after you taught me, for over a decade. I still practice these fundamentals. Thanks Jason n Aaron!
Great to hear from ya, Torrey. Those were some great days back then...and a much smaller school than I used to have. Anyway, glad you’re watching and thanks for your continued service too.
Really Good video, so glad you mentioned footwork with the jab, very important step. It’s those subtle footwork adjustments that common folk just do see or get.
I often tell my guys “ be just out of range, but in range”. I’m just referring to the footwork you just used. Slight back half steps and shuffle steps are huge in the right hands.
Very good explanation and counter to practice before doing Forms. My Form comes out of nowhere & my body twist back & sideways 1/2 step ( because I know they are faster& hit harder) and SURPRISE SURPRISE the strong man!
Yeah I agree shuffling moving around is very hard takes a lot of cardio a lot of muscle strength little tiny muscle fibers that we normally don't use so you definitely have to train just for footwork alone let alone anything else to add to it
Simple and to the point. Excellent. Balance, footwork, distance, timing and accuracy. Every sport requires it. Every self defense technique also.
Footwork is so fundamental that some of my instructors that was the first thing we worked, because it is the noble gentle art of self-defense and it is the displacements of the body with the footwork that is the foundation of defense whether with the mitten, boot, baton, jacket, cane, cudgel, staff, sword, or saber. It was from saber fencing that helped me to figure out how to use karate blocks and Arnis that gave me the reaction timing. Boxing tied all of the theories into a relatively safe practice, which allows one to experiment with them. Though from my experience with striking arts is that it allows some with higher pain tolerances to not appreciate the footwork, which is why I still think that st least a season of Fencing and Greco-roman wrestling are idea to condition the fundamental theories of self-defense into a person. Wing Chun Kuen, Boxing are the meta-skill set between Fencing & Greco-Roman Wrestling, so if you understand the limits then you can appreciate and define the intermediate skill sets better.
Glad to be one of the first few to watch this 😁
Guys it's important to remember this isn't the only technique in JKD. There are plenty of first strike aggressive techniques. I studied with Sifu Jason for 5 years. Although most students learn much quicker. I would take time off for my other training and teaching. And to be honest he was such an incredible teacher that I could study under him forever.
Another great keep it simple lesson.
I love this. I also agree that the key to successful defense - and offense for that matter is good and proper footwork. Sure you can train to take hits in MMA and boxing, but in street situations, we should train not to get hit at all, and footwork is the way to do that.
Very good Sifu
Great video, this is basic footwork yet very important in any fight. The idea of hopping is a very bad idea especially if fighting someone with good kicking and sweeping ability, and you probably don't know the skill set of your apponent in a street fight. That is why this technique works.
Again superb stuff Sifu. 🙏
Great insight, thanks Sifu
The key to any successful fighting strategy is simplicity. On the streets you'll be counted lucky if that much works under stress and or surprise.
Footwork is the essence of combat!!!
Awesome stuff! :)
That's why the late Bruce Lee had the rear heel raised so he could be so agile with the rear foot!!!
Love when it's done slowly he's spot on, but then they move around a bit light sparring and the training partner is landing 3 times more punches 😂 but I do agree footwork is important
So much stuff to notice... :P
I learned that push shuffle from Ron Balicki's videos of JKD.
'Stupid stuff' is pretty much ALL I've seen in real world street fights, and I've yet to see anyone in a demonstration replicate how ridiculous a lot of it really is. People literally running in to throw a punch or kick then back-pedalling as quickly as possible to avoid getting hit themselves. A bizarre 'lean back while throwing a haymaker' attack that often connects with some unfortunate's head, and the list goes on. Alcohol plays a big part in it, but increasingly its a group of gutless wonders attacking one or two people and that's completely un-Australian. We've progressively deteriorated to the point where you can see virtually anything that happens on the worst cities in the US and Europe repeated in one of our cities within weeks of the footage appearing on the news. I get that training requires the development of good technique but just as important is the ability to keep your head while people are screaming obscenities and trying to emulate a gang attack in LA or wherever.
In a lift but will improve my footwork
Sharing and looking for feedback from you guys as I feel like I might be on the same page as yours. Thanks🙏
(This being #10 of 10 descriptions of Wing Chun)
Wing Chun based, that is not bound by any one authority or doctrine of Wing Chun, that is free to explore all Wing Chun branches and lineages.
That also may contain other systems such as for example Boxing, Silat, JKD, TKD, Muay Thai and Jujitsu, also weapons not usually associated with Wing Chun. Where the practioner ultimately becomes more important than the confines of any one governed system or doctrine.
Where variant spellings of Wing Chun has become more apparent having sprung up all over the world. Than picking and choosing which perspective of Wing Chun is best, rather taking a broader view and giving the benefit of the doubt to all; as they are all after all Wing Chun based.
White Crane & Snake Kung Fu where Wing Chun has originated from are also important to stay connected with as these rightly so could be considered as the parents and Jeet Kune Do as a deserving descendent as a Wing Chun child.
Where these closer relationships with other systems, terminology and techniques, strategies and tactics are all family members; where sharing similarities and differences between them all are important factors to consider as the starting point of where the Wing Chun based approach has clearly been established.
With the advent of online access to many types of Wing Chun practioners and associations now available and the ever expanding popularity due to the movie industry, the wealth of knowledge and understanding is for ever growing, creating multiple opportunities for learning and sharing different types of skills and points of view.
Understandably with such an information explosion and popularity concerning Wing Chun difference of opinion has created factions and opportunities abound in a relatively short amount of time.
By drawing from their difference that are truly important ingredient for strengthening the person who can make good use of finding richness in diversity and learning from many perspectives and being able to with common sense, cross reference different points of view.
However by not having or belonging to a central body or lineage can be seen ironically as an out sider of the system even though base on the Wing Chun principles and concepts.
Where rank isn't an issue as their are none to be had with Wing Chun based. Progress is not easily determined in the usual way of belts or sashes but rather in other ways such as practical abilities in the present rather than past performance oriented concepts.
This open ended approach of learning Wing Chun, with family ties, widthways with many other lineages also depths can be explored with none Wing Chun systems, has its advantages of being motivated by staying in the present as a beginner and always open about the many possibilities for learning other methods.
Where other systems can be utilised comfortably with practice and flow transitions being interwoven with Wing Chun or understanding the engines of different systems and switching from one to another, therfore creating many type of options to chose from, developing from their a variety of skills with practical application towards defeating the opponent by using the right skill set or technique needed in the moment.
Combined strengths from other systems giving a greater understanding of what can be utilised for the Wing Chun based practitioner, having developed skills from other sources to use both in defence and offensive tactics.
Also being able to use strategies not usually associated with Wing Chun is giving the practioner an advantage to adopt a better way in or out of a bad situation; thus being far better informed and equipped towards becoming effective when managing confrontations that would otherwise be very difficult to deal with.
Testing methods and practice must stay as close as possible within the relm of reality, an essential ingredient in keeping skills gained viable and to develope them even further.
Therefore Reality needs to be added to the description of this particular type of Wing Chun, having a clear vision of its value and worth as:
Reality Wing Chun Based Kung Fu
Is it better to shuffle back at an angle or straight back? I would think at an angle?
It matters if they are charging, lunging, or dashing forward. If the foe is conservative with their strike then all that matter is to get out of the arc get out of range. It is the same principle that allows the snap back (a slip that goes straight back) to work.
The day that muggers, murders and rapists get into a fighting stance and agree to spar with their victims to see who is the most skilled fighter is the day you should begin teaching self defence. Until you should stop because you quite clearly have absolute no understand what-so-ever of the realities of criminal violence.
What you are doing is taking the violence you do understand (skilled martial artists agreeing to take part in consensual fights in the ring) and then pretending that this is how criminals will attack, so that you can pretend your solutions to consensual fighting is also the solution for criminal violence.
It is not.
Criminals do not fight their victims because the two things criminals most fear are getting caught and getting hurt. Instead they will use deception, they will approach their intended victim and ask for directions, or for the time, and then when you are distracted they attacked with non-telegraphed pre emptive strikes that will take you out of the game before you even realised you were playing. When you are laid in the street regaining consciousness after being blindsided there will be no doubt who is the better fighter, it is you, but he was the better criminal, and criminal violence is NOT the same as men agree to tae part in a fight.
You will not get a chance to use your fancy footwork, as he will not get into a fighting stance and warn you he is going to hit you.
Further if YOU have time to get into a fighting stance, then you have time to leave, and therefore by deciding to stay and fight you are no longer legally defending yourself as you have chosen to take part in a consensual fight. Men agreeing to take part in fights in the street to settle arguments over women, beer, money or parking spaces has absolutely NOTHING to do with self defence.
Self defence is legal, street fighting is illegal.
So as well as not understanding the realities of criminal violence, you also do not understand self defence law. Therefore you should stop teaching what you clearly do not understand.
Teaching marital arts in jeans is not teaching self defence. Teaching men how to win consensual street fights is not self defence, pretending that criminals will attack in the same way your training partner does in the dojo or the ring during a sparring session is not teaching self defence.

With all due respect where im from a 1 on 1 fight is as rare as hitting the multimillion lottery, its always 1 vs 5, 10+ if you cant fight dirty you'll be carried out by emt's guaranteed.
Which makes footwork even more important
