Here at NY Martial Arts Academy, we train in Bruce Lee's powerful art of Jeet Kune Do! He created this revolutionary martial art form based on his desire to focus on real-world combat, instead of the stale uniform techniques seen in many traditional martial arts today.
Our entertaining and instructional videos are for anyone interested in learning Jeet Kune Do and how it can help you defend yourself. You'll learn everything from self-defense techniques like finger jabs to full classes on striking, takedowns, and much more.
Many of the instructors at NY Martial Arts Academy are 2nd and 3rd generation students of Bruce Lee, having been taught by well-known teachers like Ted Wong and Chris Kent.

I appreciate anyone sharing valuable knowledge to the martial arts community, but the entire premise of this video is flawed. MMA cannot be compared to JKD, because MMA is NOT a style...it's a rule set. And comparing a rule set to a style is like comparing an orange with a method of peeling it. It's a nonsensical comparison. Furthermore, the liberal rule set of MMA allows for vastly different stylists to compete in the same matches, so there is not even a general MMA style to speak of. The most specific you can say is MMA requires, at minimum, some combination of striking and grappling.
It's 2024 not 1993 anymore, MMA certainly is its own style now which like the video explains is a mixture of stand-up and wrestling. Every top MMA fighter has some level of kickboxing and grappling (wrestling and bjj). Even a "sambo" guy like Islam adopts a kickboxing striking style on the feet.
@@-WiseGuy-Did you even read what you were replying to, or did you just throw words together and hope for the best? Next time, maybe take a moment to understand before you embarrass yourself further.
@@KeyserSoze23 Says the clown who can't process facts when they are clearly written. I will attempt to educate you even though your thick skull seems pretty impenetrable: 1) MMA is a catch-all term for "MIXING" various styles. MMA is NOT a style...period! And the fact that it's in the very label itself ("MIXED" - Gee, what are you mixing??🤔) should immediately make you feel embarrassed to have ever insisted on such nonsense. 2) "Stand-up" is not a style. It is another catch-all term for any method that deals with fighting on your feet. "Wrestling" is also another catch-all term for any ground fighting system (although "grappling" is more accurate). 3) What the video explains is WRONG! 4) Every top MMA fighter DOES NOT have some level of kickboxing...you just made that shit up!🤦♂️ (Hint: Boxing is not kickboxing, Karate is not kickboxing, Taekwondo is not kickboxing...plenty of striking systems that are not kickboxing.) Just because some ignorant dipshit asserts (and repeats) something, doesn't make it true!
I think Dan's journey is his own personal expression of jkd, and that's what jkd was suppose to be. Jkd is not a style, the goal is not to do it the way someone else does it, but to do what works best for you. Accept what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own, that's jkd.
I love all your videos. This is great, too. Would it be possible to do a more detailed video on how to generate that sort of incredible power with the low kick? I, as would many others I imagine, would be very grateful.
Yeah, Icy Mike from street beef fights and has his own channel says this. I have an open mind. But I disagree with him. Like you I believe side kicks can work in the ring, cage, or street….
Interesting. 🤔 may I suggeat first understanding at what range you throw a real HOOK. This is a demonstration of a mix of hook and haymaker. HOOKS move with the center of hravity and the center line of body. Every boxing coach I've ever had has reiterated this over and over. Watch Mike Tyson Hook.
