Bruce Lee is the greatest combat martial artist of all time!! Each time I watch his moves the more I am inspired... since the late 70s to this day (20181217) possibly for rest of my natural life on Earth!! RIP my greatest hero!!!!
It's probably a left-over from Lee's Wing Chun training. In that art, the fist strikes vertically. There is some debate as to which is the "most efficient". The vertical fist puts the bones of your forearm into a more natural alignment, thus facilitating the transferal of energy to your target. It also forces your elbows in. The horizontal fist has that snappy twist, that is said to generate more force. Different means to the same end.
It is as Bruce Lee says, " It's not the person who practices 100 kicks that is the best, but the person who practices one kick 100 times that is the best". JKD is supposed to be simple and direct, which are all of the punching and kicking techniques in this video. If you practice those simple techniques over and over, you will eventually be ready for any confrontation. That is what JKD is about.
Well Bruce Lee also said, learning to fight without full contact sparring, is like learning how to swim without going in the water, you can't learn to fight without fighting, no matter how much you practise one kick, is useless unless you learn the other skills in sparring, like staying calm while getting hit, timing, distance, fients, all that good stuff
Mike Tyson had this movement down perfected. You can generate SO much power from the hips, and if you watch Tyson's early fights that's exactly what he did.
The mechanics and the actual physics behind Jeep Kane Do actually makes sense as Bruce Lee himself had perceived and concocted...that is why when he said that JKD punches and hits are actually harder and more effective than that of traditional and practical Karate...!!!
Bruce Lee did not believe in style... there is no method... be formless like water.. train your nervous system and muscles... u r kicking and punching.. empty your mind. Self develop
Punching bags don't hit back either, but both are useful tools for training by yourself, note he suggests using the paper for a beginner, and moving onto a heavy bag after u have the technique down, as someone who doesnt know how to hit properly might injure themselves starting with a heavy bag
its just a punching exercise to build strength... they usually never fight squared up. You could also catch a knee to the face if you try to do a double leg from parrying distance.
Bruce Lee was no fake. He was a child actor and was a bit of a trouble maker. He got into many fights as a kid and loved martial arts. He spent his whole life dedicated to martial arts not sport fighting but the whole of martial arts and deserves some respect. If not for him MMA and other things may have never happened. He had been accused of being fake many times and was always willing to prove himself. It's BS to say he is fake when he is now dead and can't defend himself. Unlike many others at the time he went out of his way to try to learn other arts and was not shy to say not all of it works or will work for everyone the same. I have come across Boxers, Wrestlers and others such as Karate none of us are pro fighters. Some were more physically fit than myself fact is im overweight and out of shape. I still managed to choke out a Wrestler who had been wrestling his whole life up to high school. I met some Boxers in tech school who just said I fought dirty when I used kicks. The few Karate people I fought basically bought their belts. It's not the styles fault it's the person using it.
+wolf3001 MMA was started because of the gracie family not bruce lee. Lee mainly focused on punching and kicking. Grappling was the element that really changed the game of martial arts.
+DoktorSick Bruce Lee was mixing Martial Arts before many of these members were even heard of, or possibly even born. Bruce Lee inspired many people. Oddly, many of the people he inspired to learn martial arts chose other styles, but Bruce was their hero. I am only speculating, but he probably inspired the Gracie family, too. I wouldn't know for sure, since I don't follow them.
@@DoktorSick One Gracie member started the UFC organization ring, and Bruce Lee's created an mma system. There are fighter's applied Bruce Lee's mma system in UFC octagon ring.
Vasgeorge is not entirely wrong here. As stated bruce lee created 'jeet kune do'. What this basically comes down to is this: Use what you find usefull, forget what you find useless. He didn't believe that people should follow 1 doctrine. Mixed martial arts today is basically Jeet kune do, they only use what is usefull. They use techniques from all styles to cover their ground and standing up fighting.
Yeah this was only revolutionary for its time! That squared up punching technique on the heavy bag once someone parries the punch and goes for a double leg take Down and thus beating the life out of him.
Aquí, al igual que en otros lados, las que no se merecen estar en un lugar privilegiado y llegan tienen que demostrar que no se lo merecían. Este es el caso de artistas, en los cuales se ve un retraso más que evidente, que provoca el enfado en el cuerpo de las que sí se lo podrían haber merecido o incluso en las que no. Este es el caso que magnifica este lugar y hace creer a todos que son los mejores. Creo que es porque las que no llegan, siendo las merecidas, regalan a todos sus encantos. Lo hacen con la intención de eliminar al más malo y que todos (los que se dan) puedan conseguir más.
Watch different styles on youtube and pick and choose certain techniques you dig the most. Take what is useful and discard what's not, then add what's uniquely your own.
Bruce of course learnt Wing Chun and used it in JKD. But Inosanto and Bruce stated it's only one method among many other arts. Notice I didn't mention style lol
In fact that's exactly what I'll say. I've been fighting all my life and I am tired. You don't know me, I know martial arts and I am very strong. Which has only brought me trouble. I'm in risk of getting arrested for being constantly fighting. I'm sick of it, really.
hmm, for me, I been beginning to think I'm mastering the truest form of martial arts.. i'm working with energies. powerful ones. I once fend off 5 people and a car with a baton. no one got hurt. i stood still in one place calmly. with my baton drawn, and two people on 3 different occasions came out of the car and ran toward me intimidatingly, I backed up slowly preparing, and they all stopped at exactly the same distance from me and ran back to the car.. no one could get close.. we had talked shit a little previously but when the car rolled up i got quiet and in guard. I've never lost a fight. and I know what you mean. I am a warrior as well. even without being trained in jkd, i was doing my own form, it was in my blood. i would just adapt so quickly and would try 20 different angles of attack.. I can be pretty hyperactive in a fight, which shocks because i'm extremely mellow.. XD anyhow thanks for letting me share. Namaste.
there is a difference on how you form your fist. 2 ways on how to create a fist which is immediate closed fist vs compressed closed fist. not much instructors teaches the fundamentals but the difference in closing fist is by a spilt second. those who knows how to crack the knuckles on its own with out assistant of another is probably the only example of a compression fist. train it with a follow up straight through punch and you have a deadly strike. i am very sure Bruce Lee 6 inch punch breaking a wooden board consist of its method.
now i know what's the difference between an internal style martial art art and an external one. JKD is an external style martial art ie focus on brute strength and local chi or more muscular strength rather than using the dian tian chi to delivery a strike. The internal style is much harder but more powerful. Just my perspective.
@iminnaband1234 Paper thing is nothing but a target with only feature being light and flexible. When you practice your punch it should give efect of whip. If the whip hits right it gives further wave effect in the air And the good test for whip is some delicate substence like flame of chandle of simple piece of paper. So when you hit right, you give the righ air wave, which deviates the hanging paper...
It's really depends on how relaxed and how we'll you can deal with stress. If you really wanna be prepared for real combat/random attacks on the street then take something like Cali or Krav Maga for self defense rather than JKD for self perfection, I practice JKD but I also take elements of self defense martial arts and add them to my arsenal.
Do some full contact sparring and you will find out how well you have actually practised these, and if you have practised enough, hitting a bag is good training, but will not prepare you for a real fight, only fighting will.
