Footwork And Jeet Kune Do - Mistakes 

I was really fucked, my legs felt heavy as hell...

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO hopefully you have recovered, I will send you a link as to what I use for leg recovery tonight

@@walterevans2118 yeah, he started working again.. Training will take longer time.

Hand goes first is one of the hardest things to learn and also to keep, especially when you react to partner opening focus pads. In your every day life, you never go hand than step, you always step and than use your hand, to pick up something or shake someones hand, so there you hurt your progress and in training you try to counter act to it, its a constant back and forth. So how the hell will someone learn it, by doing 5 different martial arts. Its literally impossible. Its hard enough, when you focus on that entirely.

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO 👌👌👌

The stance used to be toe to heel, but as Bruce moved away from trapping he changed it to toe to arch, that is more suitable for the lead hand and foot. I would guess early 70s. Yes it was Ted...

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO Indeed - trapping was practiced in L.A. school. And trapping being dropped is actually a very good explanation why the stance changed to toe to arch. It makes sense even more! Thanks! I love your videos!!

In the stance, yes, most of the time the heel is slightly of the ground, before push shuffle it's higher.

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO Thank you for clarification

I guess in the video you can't see it right. The distance is always one step out of the technique. If you are further away, you kick, if you practice the lead punch, you maintain the distance for that technique.

You'll be probably dead unless you did knocked him out before his attack.

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO ok i know

The heel is not always spring loaded, only before you do the push shuffle. Another misconception, people don't know what they are talking about with half knowledge.

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO Unfortunately, there are no late stage JKD instructors anywhere near my location, I wish there was.

Elbow yes, but on angels you cant use fists, palm not so much, its better to use fist with right body mechanics or finger jabs. If you are afraid to break your hand, do hand conditioning...

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO Then how to defend in full nelson?

@@ccm115, twist out, or go groin, or eyes, or bite, combine... Bruce did defending against it, there are two examples in the fighting method books self defense part...

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO Thank you Sifu Thomas

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO Then how about in the elevator? If the opponent take a knife also can use the sidekick ?
