Dan Lok Hey Dan ive been watching your videos for a long time and ive practiced all the moves youve taught but my kicks arent fast enough or as fast as I would like. How should increase my leg or kicking speed?
X Brown First , you can ad some muscles to your leg and then Try to send the kick from tendons. When you kick, Try to implicare your whole body behind your leg. Twist your body at the angel kick. This makes the kick faster and stronger.
JKD makes so much sense to me. When I started martial arts as a child, it was "learn this kata", "practice this block and yell Kiah", etc. But JKD is slam, bam, tbank ya ma'am. I love it.
The foundation you've learned led you to your current state. It's always good to learn any form of body, breathing self-defense structures.. It's who you are today that counts.
Bruce Lee was also a master of the art of distraction, or pulsing, that froze & opened up his opponents for a fraction of a second to his economical strikes, which is why he emphasized speed & directness. Enjoyed this lesson guys.
I extremely admire your Jeet Kune Do lessons and It has helped me improved in many ways. It was last year that I came to know about your channel after searching for genuine JKD videos and I'm really glad that I found you. Mr. Octavio is also someone I admire and seeing you both here makes it even more awesome. Hoping to see more great videos in future. Thank you, Mr. Dan!
3:25 i love that takes me back. I lived in a prodominately hispanic community and every fight there was two guys circling, trash talking, playing first hit chicken, and as soon as the shirts are off someones going in ends in a hugging match on the pavement. Always one kid in the crowd that was the rodney king hypeing it up. I bet hello pandas on a fight like that once good times.
That was awesome. I enjoyed it and the fluidness of the movement conserves energy and catches the opponent off guard. And the hit you don't see hurts the most
I've heard (and is the tradition of sifus and senseis) that the highest level of Jeet Kune Do that Bruce Lee developed he never taught. Teachers always kept something secret from their students so that they would always be one up on their students.
Fantastic topic Dan and Octavio. The point I always stress in my interpretation of Economy of Motion is also to not 'chase' the target, itself. Not only does this give the us the most efficient and innate reaction to a force coming our way -- we also can take advantage of that incoming force and apply inertia, which results in more impact. Arbitrary movements have their place, but to a minimum for conservation of energy and not get caught in a bad step. Thank you again for a clear video over the concept of Economy of Motion.
Economy of motion is a straight line, a curve line, the shortest distance between two points, the longest weapon to the nearest target. Using the least amount of effort, while maximizing as much force. Economy of motion also applies to the signal sent from the brain to your hand. The simpler your intention (Just think hit) the faster you'll be.
Thank you Dan and Octavio, another excellent video. Today at class I was talking about this with another student, we were practicing striking from anywhere. Don’t have to wind up, just be loose, bam! Explode and let your hip turn and stance help. Put a snap/pop/micro-acceleration into the strike. A different advanced student called it “inch everything” because it isn’t only with punches, you can quick strike with jut, pak, tan, biu, elbow, laan sau or bong, po pai, knee, shin, foot, head, etc.
Get in, wail on the dude, get out. That's how it should be!! I will say, I would LOVE for someone to really break down the idea of explosive power while staying relaxed. I mean, almost a frame-by-frame example. I get the idea of staying relaxed to create some speed, but there's always the point where I start to use more muscle, trying to go faster. I know that's not the right answer, but I don't know how to correct it.
I've found efficient use of your energy is essential. Specifically when facing larger or more skilled opponents. I've found it especially apparent in grappling, if I can force them to carry my weight instead of me theirs. They may be larger, stronger and more talented, but once exhausted all of those advantages are moot. The winner is the one who doesn't give up.
i practice a jeet kune do to my friends from what you show to everyone it realy helpful to me when it a fight keep relax . when i practice jeet kune do i always practice about fencing punch,fencing kick . when i practice fencing i train difficult fencing movesment it likes sidekick go directly kick to the face.
I think always trying to be more efficient in cultivation, and practice is 100% the thing to do. I also loved the video. My take however is that it can be a trap if you take it to the extreme. You can get carried away with economy in mind and not realize as you make things more efficient in one area you make it less in others. So I thinks it's something that takes a lot of sensitivity in cultivating. Because what works, and what is called of the fighter might not seem efficient or economical. Really good video though. That's just my opinion too.
Mr. Dan, love your videos. I'm also a practitioner of JKD, under Master Frank Ehnle who teaches us the JKD combatives division, devised by 1st gen student Gary Dill. Are you aware of the shoes and pants your sifu is wearing? Also have you thought about making a video about appropriate martial arts training wear? Like sweatpants, shoes, etc. I'm looking for a pair of nice athletic sweats that won't rip in the seam from kicking. Any info would be greatly appreciated sir.
I think it's an illusion. It seems like trading speed and power. When It's more like properly setting up a fulcrum. Your power comes from muscles and not tensing up, throwing a heighmaker. Sure the heighmaker is stronger and it uses a ton of energy. If you look at it from a more long term picture version of power in a fight. A hundred cracking snaps to the face is more devastating than 5 heighmakers. When executed properly. And one let's you keep going while the other leaves you exposed. Like a fast-food job may seem right at 16 because you need money. When doing that can lead you to losing face and opportunities and expose you to those people in a mastermind aspect. You become a fast food employee.
Where I'll disagree with the Sensei is the purpose of the "bouncing," "dancing," and stancing up. In most scenarios, I'm the better Fighter than my challenger or attacker. Pretty much any time I've stanced to fight it was a finally warning that I was Skilled. If the opponent did attack, it was either a weak jab or an instant attempt @ a takedown or tackle. Most folks these Days can't Throw Hands and don't want an Ass whoopin'. Many are scared of opposition, especially if you can take a Punch. Most Street Fights last less than 30 seconds. Most folks have terribly Stamina. It simply depends upon your approach. I'm personally not one to initiate a Fight.
I believe that in streamlined efficient JKD economy of motion would be used to eliminate trapping(failed attack) & other complexity by staying DETATCHED like a fencer & closing in fast on DECISIVE targets.....We know that Bruce didn't do any slip then hit moves (passive blocks) his blocks were a STRIKE (doing them simultaneously) However , I believe that in a life threatening situation a long Knee strike would be EVEN MORE decisively simple & direct than a simultaneous block/strike. Simpler way. As is said here there are some who foolishly apply MMA sport to the street bouncing around uneconomically when they should be using economy to DECISIVE targets to end danger fast. On the Street as you say there could be multiple attackers & going to the ground could be DEADLY. & the LAST thing anybody should be doing....I would say we do not just need power but decisive targets (knees, groin, eyes)...Punching in the face might NOT be decisive enough in a life threatening situation. The only criticism I would have is this....In a life threatening situation why would the gentleman here hit the leg like that with a crack stun to bring them down to follow up with a punch ?......That's TWO moves (both non decisive targets)....Why not do it more SIMPLY in only ONE motion ?...ie - A kick to the kneecap like Bruce Lee showed in LONGSTREET ?.....That's how a SAMURAI would do it ...ONE shot with no non-decisive overkill moves....SIMPLE. Just a thought.
Teacher Dan lok you is great master and eseen his videos and they are very good but the reason for my comment is if I get permission to make a video sullo in Spanish because I think that what you teach is very valuable and more people see lotienen
if thats ur habit reaction of hitting anybody that touch ur shoulder,.. ur friend might get hurt when their intention is just to get ur attention by touching ur shoulder and say "Hi"...
Dan, I always have a question after seeing the "slip and punch" upon the opponent throws a punch. Sifu's stance is sort of off center (body isn't perpendicular to the ground). In your instructions you have mentioned that do not bend the body sidway otherwise the other guy can just throw (or push) you off balance. Would you share your thoughts on that? Many thanks.
Dan in your next video do you think you could create a fight scene with you and quintero fighting in it because it would be awesome to see you guys fight
My friend trains jkd This exact scenario played out at a pub They were in a fight / brawl Someone grabbed my friend from behind He did exactly did what you did, the person laying on the floor was a police officer lol
Im 5 foot 11 inch tall, My opponent was about 6 " 4. This was at a kung fu grading. I just launched at him fist flying he was flustered and tried a turning kick at my head, I countered with a back thrust. yeh that was very satisfying seeing a big guy stumbling back ha ha. Now whats the point in me telling you? Big guy was flustered his technique was not good, this is common with big bully's, they dont expect a littler opponent to be not afraid of them. This video is very good it describes the same sort of thing. Namely a opponent wants to hurt you, so you finish it quickly you dont prance around like an idiot!!!
Hi dan, love the Muhammed Ali/Bruce Lee teeshirt. I see the way forward as a mixture of isometric training, for muscle maturing by increasing the number of motor units (this is effectively what the held animal forms in Kung Fu are about) and repetition training to gain muscle memory in the cerebellum part of the brain; movment without conscious thought.. And of course H I I T for overall fitness, a fit body is a fit mind. This is probably your philosopy already, but I felt the need to break it down into components, which can be used with very little equipment and and no training partner.
Economy of motion is a direct contradiction of the martial arts... other forms of martial arts they always chamber their punches and kicks... someone made a statement that Bruce Lee didn't kick correctly!
do u need a lesson in boxing? because they do teach us to go in but at the same time you learn stamina to get the oponent tired by moving which is a very good strategy because then you can see if the oponent is an attacker or a defender
"Bruce preached economy of movement" He certainly didn't follow it, all those silly looking movements with his head, arms and hands before engaging into an attack along with the little squeaky yell, didn't seem to economic to me

Keep it up

from the name, to the way you talk, you sound a lot like my sensei
@@ConCoClem He is the sifu from this video.
JKD is logical. Karate is for show. It is too slow compared to JKD in a real fight.
*JKD is one of the few arts* that takes simplicity to its most basic level. I love it, and the principle of Economy of Motion shows it.
Bruce Lee was also a master of the art of distraction, or pulsing, that froze & opened up his opponents for a fraction of a second to his economical strikes, which is why he emphasized speed & directness.
Enjoyed this lesson guys.
Success leaves clues.
I extremely admire your Jeet Kune Do lessons and It has helped me improved in many ways.

Appreciate that.
Never knew what was JKD as a kid but I learned more now since learning more about bruce lee🙏🙏

Dan ,Thank You and Sifu Octavio for these Calm , flowing lessons on JKD ! Please Both of you, keep them coming!
I'm really enjoying this series and learning so much from each video. Thanks!!
I'm glad Master Bruce never left us entirely
im trying to watch like 5 of ur videos at once... cant watch enough... thank you!
Loved the demonstration btw!!!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Again, great presentation. Simply but effect. I love this.
#Basic - Archimedes Principle= "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line...
Exactly.
Great post : )
This line also said Lex Lutor in Batman vs Superman, lol
This is one of my dominant super combo w/ wing Chung prelude defensive sneek attacks.
Great content I love how you explain the moves and why, I really feel like I can learn from these videos thank you for sharing
Jeet kune do is the grand ultimate other than wudang and shaolin. Thank you guys and thank you Bruce!
Nice Martial Arts video Mr.lok
I m enjoying full videos
Try to watch every video , learning JKD right now
I've heard (and is the tradition of sifus and senseis) that the highest level of Jeet Kune Do that Bruce Lee developed he never taught. Teachers always kept something secret from their students so that they would always be one up on their students.
It's my dream to train with both you!! Respect and best wishes for future sirs!

hi Dan I'm interesting jeet kune do I've watching your videos I can see its easy i do like to learn
good explanation
Awesome...
👍
I use mon sao alot following up with the lead Oou tek to the opponents lead leg. It proves effective every time.
Get in, wail on the dude, get out. That's how it should be!!

i practice a jeet kune do to my friends from what you show to everyone it realy helpful to me when it a fight keep relax . when i practice jeet kune do i always practice about fencing punch,fencing kick . when i practice fencing i train difficult fencing movesment it likes sidekick go directly kick to the face.
Keep practicing.
thank you my friends send my regard to you sifu octavio thank for show how practice a difficut technique .thank once again my friends
Economy of motion is stripping away the unessentials!
I am beginning my studys with a former Ted Wong student. Very excited!
Good.
Interesting! Great video
Very effective
Very good
simplicity directness freedom
I also want to think quintero for being in this video and telling us about the economy of motion
That was Awesome
what type of gloves do sifu quintero have on...good video
Economy of motion is taking your nearest weapon to your closest Target.... like taking your lead leg and striking your opponents front knee!
keep it simple and effective , economy of emotion
Nice technique shared👍
I think always trying to be more efficient in cultivation, and practice is 100% the thing to do. I also loved the video. My take however is that it can be a trap if you take it to the extreme.

Great video. Octavio appeared to show an elliptical motion with the lead straight. Do you also use an elliptical motion on the rear straight?
Sifu, would you make a video about "Cultivation of JKD" ?
Would like to share a very advanced martial arts principle: never look were your going to attack and you'll land the strike alway
Mr. Dan, love your videos. I'm also a practitioner of JKD, under Master Frank Ehnle who teaches us the JKD combatives division, devised by 1st gen student Gary Dill.

Excelente como siempre dan .. pero deberás me encantaria saber inglés para entender mejor el concepto..

Let your Qi flow through you and into your opponent
All is obvious. It's much more difficult to be simple. Easier to do alot of usless movements. Simplicity is the top of the art
Wooow okay so was the principal to make your movements economically smart ALONG with keeping it simple if possible?

man you should start a matrial arts school

You have my permission. As long as it helps more people.
If master you are thank you and so will be
If you want to learn an art, learn martial arts. If you want to learn self defense, learn Jeet Kune Do.
if thats ur habit reaction of hitting anybody that touch ur shoulder,.. ur friend might get hurt when their intention is just to get ur attention by touching ur shoulder and say "Hi"...
What kind of protection gear is the tall guy wearing. Is there a link ?
Hi sMoking joee Sweets, it looks like it's the spartan vest used especially for MMA. Try Googling it to find one near you - not sure about the helmet.
Thanks u a martqil arts fan

OMG, please do. Thank you in advance~
OMG, please do. Thank you in advance~

Absolutely not. That would be very disrespectful to my Sifu.
You're right ,my apologies

This exact scenario played out at a pub
They were in a fight / brawl

where shifu get those gloves???
Accredited Insurance, there a few different brands but if you do your research on MMA gloves. You will find the gloves that are best suited for you.
