Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do - Footwork 

I practiced performance fencing for 19 years. This man is speaking the true 100%.

Jeet Kune Do is not a set of techniques wiith a lable, it is a concept that no fighter can ignore. "Take what is useful, discard what is not". Use only the most powerful techniques you can find and make them your own. Do not forget his legacy.

Hi, I'm a Fencer who has won 26 competition medals, former state champion, competed in the Junior Olympics and National Championships on multiple occasions and I have to say I was happy to see your footwork. You explained it very well and honestly, this footwork looks very much like fencing footwork though instead of the kicks we use the same steps to set up a lunge lol. Footwork is something I'm always working on and was happy to see we had similar ideas about it. Keep up the good work and hope your having a nice day.

Footwork is ALL ur power. Told this before on here. I boxed for 6 years and wrestled for 6 and 2 years of BJJ. But back to my point. My boxing coach made me do 6 months of footwork before i ever thru a punch

CANT EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SHARE YOUR TALENTS!

"Give it a try" Me:Ok I'll try 1 year later Me:Alright I got it

Ex long term student of Ted ( RIP) happy to say " this young man is simply great. It brings joy to me to see that JKD is still and with some obviously very capable men Thank you Dan.....

Sifu Ted Wong was Sijo Bruce Lee"s Protoge in JEET KUNE DO. Sifu Wong emphaszied The On-Guard Position, Footwork, The Powerline, Balance, Alignment, Distance & Recovery. But Not all JKD Kwoons Teach The Importance By-Jong or The On-Guard Posititon as Sifu Wong did. But in order to be Proficient in JKD, you must understand, The 7 Natural Weapons, The 3 Fronts, Primary & Secondary Targets, The 5 Ways of Attack, The 5 Types of Speed and The 6 Ranges of Combat.

What a wonderful teacher! He explains so well, and, absolutely tells you the truth about the time it really takes to make the Jun Fan/JDK stance feel natural and automatic. Waaaay back in 1980, as a teen, I started learning/training the fighting stance from the BLFM books, and like Dan, it really took a long time for what (on paper) seem so simple, to become natural, balanced, and automatic. Dan had me laughing too, because, to accurately learn/practice the stance with the various foot-works - and maintain proper posture in motion, I recall when my mother came into my room and saw I had used nasty black electrical tape (it's all we had) to lay-out a tape-grid on "her" beautiful hardwood floor. That day I also learned how to slip and duck a broom LOL! Keep up the great teaching Dan; no doubt, Sifu Bruce would be proud of you!

Thanks, Dan. Footwork is definitely an underappreciated aspect - in many fields and disciplines. I digress: I’m trying to figure out why the dislikes. ‘Must be the 25% - 35% of neurotic society whose goals haven’t been realized - yet. Mine haven’t yet, either. Regardless, I’m not going to hate on others’ success.

The essence of fighting Footwork and movement... arguably Bruce Lee’s finest.

Thank you for explaining every move or possibility with very well executed details. Love your work !

You are the best teacher I have ever seen

I just subscribe to your page I have never subscribed to anyone or anything before I think you are very talented and thank you for doing what you do .

These videos are amazing and helpful. Have you ever considered creating some on-line JKD instructional modules like how Rickson Gracie and Henry Akins are doing, or even an on-line JKD University instructional site like how the Gracie Academy/University, Renzo Gracie, Marcelo Garcia and SBGi are doing. I think your style of teaching and communicating, plus your deep knowledge and elite skill in Bruce Lee’s creation, concepts and philosophies of JKD would be a HUGE SUCCESS if you did. Just a thought.

Dan, I enjoy your videos some much brother. I've practiced JKD for over 20yrs with SDS JKD and can always gleen something from your techniques. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of this beautiful art!! I hope you continue to make vids from time to time!

Your a great sifu me and my friend are learning jeet kune do from this channel and it is working great you are truly amazing

Dan is totally right, footwork is key and is surprisingly difficult. Very well made and valuable video for anyone practicing JKD.

If you're a skater this stance feels automatic.

Thank you for this video! Been trying to find something like this for a while.

Hey Dan. THANK YOU so much for these videos and also the (other ones) ;). You wouldn't believe what influence you have on my life atm man! Respect Till Death! Fact. Chur thanks again. :D

awsome video i tryed that in sparing thai boxing it helps me a lot getting close to my opponent not only footwork all those bruce lee technics keep up the good work

Watched a couple of videos and Now I subscribed. Great content! 👌🐍

Glad to see you've incorporated teaching martial arts along with being an entrepreneur. \m/

Hi Dan Lok my name is Benoit,ive been watching your videos and i must say it was impressing and had a high learning value. Now who likes Bruce Lee the legend?I have all of his movies. If hed still be alive today i would liked to know him in person.Well,who wouldnt?Take care Dan we love to learn from you.

Thank you for the footwork tutorial. The basics. That you. I'm pushing 60 and still learning. 40 years and still learning

Hi Dan watched a few of your videos and I love them it has inspired me to start doing marital arts, Thank you

The hardest thing for a teacher to do is to convey the proper physical and mental mechanics that go into the art and this Sifu is excellent, he is very thorough 👊

Interestingly, the basic stance is very much like the stance used in skateboarding (for ollies etc). Feels quite natural to me! Thank you for all your VERY helpful and insightful videos Dan! Also greatly enjoy the positive and respectful comments on your channel compared to the snake pits elsewhere. This is what it's about!

Hey Dan loving your JKD videos, I like how you explain and share your knowledge

Bruce Lee is soooo ahead of his time. Look at his slow motion foot work, wow! How many modern MMA fighters can do that? None. The GOAT in fight. Father of MMA!

“Just like that”🔥🔥🔥🔥idk why but I love when he says that

Thank you Steady on the feet with creative footwork 👍Much respect for these informative videos very helpful in individuals martial arts life journey ⭐️

i have done fencing all 3 /also and jkd training this is very very very good stuff thx to sifu dan lok

Nice! Thanks. I had been doing a few footwork drills similar to this, great focus points and a few useful ideas. Thanks again.

That guy really looks like an honest and nice person.

Excellent video Dan. LOVE YOUR PASSSSSION.

Great video..xI have been involved in various martial arts over the past 35 years and your videos are very helpful

Dan thank you for the great video

Great Video Dan ! Thanks For Sharing !

Very good technique and fighting wisdom! I appreciate you brother...

Dan, I'm really enjoying your videos... Keep up the excellent work!

Dan the Man- you have opened me to a new way of thinking. I have ALWAYS blocked with the meaty part if my arm, never considered using the built in weapon that is the arm bone. Only 3 short conditioning sessions of shin, arm & hand bones but already feeling big improvement. Thank you!

Phenomenally profound yet so simple

Great video on footwork i was lowki doing some of this from watching bruce lees footwork. but it does take a long while to get it down really good. Thanks

Dan Lok is a great teacher, I learn a lot . Thanks.

Excellent vid again. Footwork important for speed, balance, rooting, power. May not be glamorous but you need it. Love how you explode step

Great video, footwork feels fluid, going to keep practicing

Great piece, Dan, thanks👍👍

Great video very informative. I first watched Chris Kent doing JKD.

Another informative JKD video...thanks

I love how you teach the art Sifu. How can I view full body cam with another cam focusing on the footwork?

thanks for the videos brother

That is classic boxing stances and steps! I've been teaching these exactly for many years in boxing.

learning how to work before flying is the king i loved the video thanks

Thank you for the awesome learning experience to all of you. From I'm sure all of us who take jkd wing Chun and Bruce's teachings and other's like his to heart.

the matching of fencing footwork with boxing strikes and wing chun trapping is one of the most revolutionary things to happen in martial arts in several hundred years

Great work to show footwork. Thanks for your sharing.

Bruce Lee's footwork is tied to his strong-side forward... for his Straight Lead punch... unlike the boxers Jab!

love u dan...thanks somuch

Great stuff! Would Love more footwork training

Great video. I truly believe in what you stated about the footwork. It is extremely important to ALL that we do in the Arts.

Fantastic leg work, especially for an explosive move whilst attacking an opponent without form.

Very clear explanation. Excellent!

Dan excellent video. If I remember right Bruce used to be able to travel eight feet under three quarters of a second. I hope you make instrumental videos. I would buy them all. Keep up the good work. Nick

This video is very much helpfull i have learned all footwork only in two days but i will practice these footwork for a more few days to master in it

I sure miss Sifu Ted Wong. Spoken to him a few times back in the days when he was in Vancouver for his seminars and the Bruce Lee Founation seminars. I believe he learned a lot more personalluy from Bruce since he lived with Bruce for several years. We know Bruce spend many,many hours training in his backyard etc and Ted was his pratice partner. Great video and cheers from West Caost Canada!

thank so much Shifu saludos!

Mr. Dan Lok, I must say you are a great teacher. I have a friend who also trained with Ted Wong.

Dan Lok Keep bringing these videos. You the man playboy 👊👊👊👊👊👊💪💪💪💪💪💪

Ted Wong , and Dan Inosanto was long time students than Richard Bastillo . James " Jimmy" lee was another pioneer student and right hand man of Bruce lee. !

All Thanks to you, you explained everything in details

Always an amazing learning experience thank you.

This is really well presented.

Would need to get used to putting my right foot in front to start. Been using orthodox stance from boxing with left foot in front for years. Great video thx

Thanks for all your help master.

That's also my wide receiver stance , that allows precise power of the calfs , I'm subbing , can't wait to learn some jkd

Nicely done !

Hi Dan, Great video on footwork. Wing Chun has a closing the gap entry footwork as well. Guru Dan Inosato also states that Bruce really emphasized footwork. There is also great footwork in Phillipino Kali which is where Muhammad Ali got his signature cutting the ring shuffle from. In fact, the Marquis of Queensbury took the elements of Kali and brought them to England to formalize western boxing. Thank you for sharing Dan.

EXCELLENT AGAIN SIR! MORE POWER SIR

Thank you for this video it would be greatful if you include more trapping techniques

Hi Dan How do you stike from a relaxed position (Not from fighting stance )?

*Ted Wong taught my JKD instructor Mike Rivas - I trained for about a year in JKD before moving on. JKD isn't for me but, I took the philosophy of JKD to heart and implement what is useful and disregard what is useless for me when learning different techniques.*

Very detail , Thank you

I agree 100%. Footwork is critical.

This is very similar to boxing footwork and Is great with a jab to blind and distract opponent making them think your not in range then the next punch lands.

thanks Dan i like how you teach us I'm getting better prattic. like to you video all ways

Yes Mr Lok, I Met Ted some yrs ago at a very small seminar, I had some limited private time with Mr Ted Wong. He emphasized footwork and much more footwork. Ted is JKD, I’m not sure if he is versed in other arts as Kali and Silat but it doesn’t matter. Practice one art to master it then move on. Thx for sharing.

Great, practical, easy to learn techniques. Many Thanks Dan! Brad Holmes Tai Chi Gold Coast.

Hello my JKD brotha, I studied JKD in Chinatown on Alpine Park and your foot work is nice and crispy love it!👹

Well made video, Keep it up

See I take Kung Fu, and I also want to expand my art. I see so many things I love, but some things that I can see possible expansion on. Beautiful video brother, you're teaching is guapo! Much love.

08:00 - 08:12 "you always ready to ......" BOOOOMMM😠👊💣💥🔥 (thx Dan🙏😃♥)

Thanks for the Lessons

Brilliant. Thank you

My husband is a martial artist and this was ALWAYS so weird to me as a woman. Thank you so much for explaining how long it takes and the line is SO helpful- but you are fast!!!

I’ve literally been doing something similar for ages. I guess by watching Bruce Lee I just developed a similar stance.

that's amazing that you did JKD with ted wong. Big fan already.

Great stuff

It's amazing techniques truly you are great I'm doing practice on this
