Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do - The Backfist 

Subbed, really loving the Bruce Lee content ! : ]

Dan Lok One thing you should also consider about this particular hand tool ... It should rather be used and further perfected as a significant part of your arsenal to an extent that goes well beyond the targeted areas mentioned or describe in this video. Simply and respectfully because Bruce Lee was the type of teacher / martial arts instructor who really didn't believe in limiting anything he did. So since the human body has by far more than the amount of vulnerable points that you can strike at then what's wrong with allowing your backfist to cover any place that hurts on the body other than the tagetted areas mentioned in this video? EXAMPLE!= If a carpenter's hammer can hurt your nerve endings such as your toe or even a finger no matter if you are standing or executing some kind of suddsn ground level attack then why not consider the hammer fist to be used where ever there's existing soft tissue?. You should be able to multiply it's use like a fricken paint brush immediately with deceptive motor skills as a means to support the transmission of force prior to making contact in close quarter fighting non telegraphically. Bruce Lee's TRUE version of JKD had no limits to it what so ever. As a matter of fact as a developmental craft it really had no end either except his untimely death. He made his JKD an ongoing movement in every sense of its meaning. Every man's JKD will not be exacty like Bruce's however it must be claimed as his own instead. Just like Bruce every student should exercise his mind body and spirit through research and learn to overcome his own personal obstructions in life where there are limits to be challenged within himself until he raises up the bar and suceeds in breaking through every possible barrier. Bruce left behind so many clues to his art which always had everything to do with an ever growing readiness to be perfected on an individual basis though with much simplicity. Constant practice is the overall road to increase and master your JKD. Bruce Lee never stopped learning nor self-learning teaching nor self teaching. He obviously would've continued training and ever evolving into more revolutionary dimensions in his art if it had not been for death. Those of us who still eat the fragments of what he left behind are obligated to merely take what we can and make it effectively better for ourselves. It's not to be better them someone else's art or form or means of existing in what ever they do but merely in what we do. This backfist hand tool along with everything else is not exempt from this reality! JKD is everything to be worked on to perfection. It's not a God. It's more like a scientific way of self betterment on a daily quest

I found you can combine a hammerfist after a back elbow in the same strike. A 9 to 6 elbow left to right or reversed with the left elbow

simion pop you could use the jkd concepts to improve your boxing, you'd basically be a distance boxer staying out of range looking for openings. Avoiding the pocket and only blocking as a last resort. But jkd is street fighting, its made to use all your tools not just boxing.

Oh and I ment a 9-3 elbow....horizontal

Repetition is the mother of all skill. Keep practicing

@@DanLok this line really inspired me because I have no teacher except RU-vid. I don't even have a partner or punching bag. 😭

@@yatharthsawarkar3607 Me too.

same

Yup

hahahahahaha the white guy is HORRIBLE in ALL VÍDEOS!

Im gonna try that

Ukay, good insight. It might be challenging for anyone who is starting out but repetition is the mother of all skill and the rewards are so worth it

Success leaves clues. keep growing

Keep applying what you have learned from the video. Keep growing

Where your focus goes energy flows. Keep growing

Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.

That is because the back fist comes from your opponents blind spot. You also don't have time to watch the elbow like a jab.

When the student is ready the master appears. Keep growing

@@DanLok I like the way you are replying like your reading out of a fortune cookie. 😂😂😁😂

You can train with him but it's $25,000 for one session....how badly do you want it...and you have to pay today..and you'll receive your back fist kit in the mail...which includes back fist webinars.....lol

different area of the hand, the heavy one seems to be with the outer side of the hand/wrist/forearm, while the first ones are with the back of the hand.

They are two very different moves.

I might share this in a future video. Keep learning. Keep growing

Chief Baldo: One important element is to rely on your training. When stressed your muscle memory will take over and you hands will fly as if they had a mind of their own, but only if you have already put the work in.

Join a fight gym, spar, and RUN 5 miles every week, and you'll be g2g.

Oh for christsakes, that was just a MOVIE. Bruce never really hit the guy and knocked him down, it was all choreographed and the recipient was an actor who threw himself down.

Keep practicing.

Not exactly, it is more like a towel whip..

Repetition is the mother of all skill. keep it up

It does if you train for it.

Dan Lok Haha love you man. Have been practicing and seeing the damage that can be done. Favorite move now!!

Alot I use I all the time especially if you land it on the nose

Repetition is the mother of all skill. Keep growing. it will get better

+Dan Lok thanks
