Heavy Sparring Jeet Kune Do Fighter 

@@TheStoicMindset01these guys don’t do JKD. This is the problem. JKD has been so badly misrepresented and shown since Bruce Lee passed away most people have no idea what it is. The most prevalent idea being it’s a “mixed martial art” is completely false but that’s what Dan Inosanto pushed and “JKD concepts” was something he made that most people thing is representative of Bruce Lee’s JKD and it isn’t. There is no application of JKD principles in this video. No interception, directness, longest weapon to nearest target, strong side forward, absolutely nothing. Although boxing gloves, having pillows for hands makes things very difficult to do. If you want to learn about real JKD check out someone called Tommy Carruthers or IFO JKD. That’s his organisation. He was taught by Bruce’s first and last private student, Jesse Glover and Ted Wong, along with others. Also, Thomas Marx JKD is an instructor under Tommy and also has a channel, John Paul Daily is another instructor under Tommy, he is based in Mississippi and also has a channel. This isn’t JKD. But what they do is.

you guys look like youre hittinf pretty hard

thanks for watching!!

🙏

100% agree, a great display of professional comradery amongst true martial artists. Super impressed with JKD athlete

@@tonymarichal31171 most martial arts can become practical when it's properly preassure tested, hell some people found practical Tai chi .. like really tai chi? people thought that crap was worthless.

@@tonymarichal31171 🙏

cheers!

thank you brother :)))

@@MMAShredded You're awesome!

True Martial Artist

Jeff is superhuman

💪💪💪💪

@Sensei Seth I was about to tag you lmao

We knew we'd find you here

Side kicks don't work. The guy just lucky. Fedor Emelianenko and Khabib never get side kicked.

ahahahahah

@@counterkidnapping1737 who has thrown sidekicks against Fedor and Khabib?

Thank you for the kind words!

agreed. Sparring is conversational, not argumentative.

You nailed it 👏

Agreed! It’s crazy how many times I’ll be giving 40-60 percent and the other person comes in hot 100. Not their fault, usually it’s a very short moment. But you’re right on how consistent they keep it

Hard and soft at the same time huh? It’s almost as if they’re … …being like water

thanks for watching!

cheers!!

Thats what bruce meant find your own way but others interpret it as a style

Thank you

What's the difference between this "way" and just normal kick/Thai boxing or MMA ?

@@JayzsMr Leading with strong side, more bladed stance. Square and bladed stance on inside. Half beat footwork and emphasis on interception are some things that are emphasized more in JKD. That’s in the kickboxing section. We also teach foul tactics like kicking the groin, finger jabs/gouges, head butts and weapon just to be safe. Muay Thai is great for shin kicks,elbows, knees and the clinch. Not known for footwork and head movement but many of the great Muay Thai fighters use boxing as well. This makes them more complete. It’s not about styles it’s about understanding body mechanics and motion. Hope this gives you clarity.

thank you :)

They Spar Hard as fuck 😂😭

@@erento2940 yeah but u can notice him holding back his knees, he only went hard in situations where he wouldnt have landed if he didnt

very controlled, there were many many times where I saw both sides pulling

@@nocturnalmonke8164 true but if he keeps this up for years with no headgear he’s gonna get some kind of long term brain damage

cheers!

thanks for watching :) and yes those side kicks hurt!!

would be interesting if jeff is doing roadwork or is just sparring/training on the heavybag all the time :D

💪

thank you!! I appreciate it!

👍

cheers!

thank you bro!!

I used to train JKD. Wish I never stopped. I could be an instructor now. Distracted by too many shiny objects.

Funny not a single JKD UFC champion. Biggest world stage for fighting and not one champion from JKD. Wonder why? Right its so deadly that it couldn't be used in a caged fight. Right.

@Derek Hiebert John Jones used JKD. See how many eye pokes he's done? Seriously though Jerome Le Banner and Ben Saunders both have JKD as a base. So there you go. It's relatively new and not as popular as taekwondo or karate. For me it taught how to switch stance In my boxing.

​@@derekhiebert1654 You don't think the philosophy of jkd is actually mmas predecessor? Every MMA fighter who ingests and uses multiple disciplines is at its core jkd based philosophy. Jon Jones using oblique kicks to the knee. Longest weapon to shortest target. Another principal or philosophy of jkd?

thanks for watching!

@@MMAShredded thanks for sharing!

Jeff and Teddy did great.

"One of the best sparring session i ever seen". You dont see much sparring sessions🤣

Thank you.

awesome!! thanks for watching!

@@MMAShredded Teddy is very skilled and athletic, but he doesn't check leg kicks, and he gets scissors swept often. If he works on those things, he will be fantastic..

🙏🙏🙏

That's the crazy thing about JKD. My JKD coach (direct lineage to Dan Inosanto) would have your head on a pike if you used side kicks in heavy sparring and here you are calling a "bread and butter" technique (probably the best way to get your fangs ripped out). We also borrow heavily from Muay Thai, and I throw in a lot of capoeira (my first and favorite martial art) into my sparring. I honestly believe JKD is the best way to learn martial arts. You tailor it to you, learn and use what you want, and become the best fighter you can be.

thank you brother!

I’ve found with the rush in sweep , feint with a shoulder to get their hands to raise then close the distance , frame with your hand and arm across their body to block their vision and to turn their head and then add the leg sweep, it’s all about the feint

thanks for watching!

🙏

Jeff’s sweeps are on point

Sukui Nage. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9I8cp0hjm2Y.html It's in Shotokan Karate

thank you for watching!!

Jeff is so good. Bottom line.

cheers!

@@MMAShredded lol I watch your videos so much I assumed I had already subscribed, just realized I wasn't

haha

pretty hard sparring there, and good stuff! creativ and intuitiv, but the guy had no answer to the sweeps and looked so helpless, Jeet Kune Do guys may need to implement some Capoeira.

@@panganaranga fuck yeah hehehehe

@@panganaranga you mean Muay Thai???

Nahhh lol

Cheers!!

thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching !!

thank you bro!!

Us too. Jeff is so good and getting better. I got a feeling he’ll be learning JKD soon.

thanks ! and yes definitely had breaks haha

💪

thank you!!

🙏

cheers!!

Cheers!

@@MMAShredded I appreciate and love your channel brutha!!! Please keep doing what you do! I'm currently a Law enforcement officer who coaches MMA so you definitely inspire me haha!

I was Erik's Student for a couple of years. He may have a concepts certification, which Dan Inosanto was giving out from the 70s through the 90s but He really doesn't do the JKD Bruce Lee taught. I was learnign what Bruce taught form Bruce students before during and after I trained Shooto, catch and Jujitsu with Erik. He normally has our group come over and show JKD at his school. He's an awesome guy, a great fighter and teacher, but he doesn't really do or teach JKD.

@Chris Bera very true... I'm ranked under Paulson myself. But we definitely can say his mindset and roots are definitely of the JKD philosophy for sure!

Erik was one of my teachers. Hall of fame fighter and teacher, but he didn't do JKD. Using a bunch of different arts is not JKD.

id love to visit FL, I will add it to my list bro!! thanks for watching!!

MMA = New term for JKD?

@@grandwonder5858 JKD is the original true MMA before UFC ever happened.

Jeet Kune Do superior than wing Chun🤔?

@@Thephantomofthreerivers 💪👍

cheers!!

will work on more!!

Setups/How to land uppercuts plz

Great job for both! JKD Guy gotta know how to defend leg kicks LOL

thank you, I hope to learn JKD!

@@MMAShredded you will.

cheers!

thank you brother!!

Agreed. I would love to see full sparring sessions as well.

I actually kinda agree with you, but I understand why Jeff cuts it down to the interesting parts for less experienced viewers who just want to see the matchups in skill level

thank you bro!!

Jeff is a low kick machine.

thank you bro!!

cheers!

thanks for watching!! ya side kicks killed me

Jeff is a beast!

Side kicks don't work. The guy just lucky. Fedor Emelianenko and Khabib never get side kicked.

@@counterkidnapping1737 I’ve never been shit by a gun but bullets don’t work. Lol. Strange logic bro.

​@@counterkidnapping1737 Nice trolling attempt, 6/10

thank you for watching bro!!

“When trains properly” is so right…

Looks more Like classical kickboxing

@@angelostanojevic304 You’ll find the more a ‘style’ trains actual sparring, the more they all start looking alike.

Erik is no joke.

thank you!

Yup that's why we spar in JKD see what to work on and evolve the art. Loving the sidekicks but p Muay Was killing it as Bruce said it's the man that makes the art not the art makes the man

thank you!!

cheers!!

yes!

Well, JKD is more of a foundational martial art, and can be ever evolving. Like Bruce said, be like water.

@@shakirabdullah14 If you read the book you would know its not a martial art. Its a way of thinking. It borrows concepts from boxing, wing chun, fencing etc. basically everything you want to pick and choose and create style tailored to yourself.

thank you!!

Cheers!

ive had a hurt jaw many times

Us all too lol. It’s not good for u. Technical sparring is better. We’ll do that as well.

thank you brother :) ahaha yeah he gave me little Mac vibes too especially with the green gloves!

@@MMAShredded 🤝💯

cheers!

thank you!

thanks man!!

Great combos.

Nice!

@@NYMartialArtsAcademy THANKS! Also, I’d love to find out how I can setup a time to chat with your staff? I’m a director with the USA MMA Federation (MMA governing body), & we have some programs used by gyms around the country I’d love to introduce to you guys. What’s a good way to reach out ?

thanks man!

thanks for watching!

thanks :)

But he still stay humble knowing he got shit he still gotta work on. Can’t help but love him

@@lisawillis8044 precisely why I think he will always improve :)

wow its been so long, I appreciate the support brother!!!!

@@MMAShredded absolutely 💪. Your combo and head movement videos helped my fighting a lot

Jeff is a stud.

cheers!

Easy. For low kicks or for any other kick you need a setup. You cannot just use it as an entry strike.

thanks bro! im sure you've heard it, but you gotta set it up with your hands. the more real the punches are thrown, the more your opponent will react to it and not see the low kick coming!

@@MMAShredded exactly. And every fighter who broke their legs throwing a low kick was because of not setting it up.

Yo! That’s so cool cause I’m training with Burt right now too!

@@ninjakicks808 Best instructor I've ever had the pleasure of meeting & training with. Full of ideas and experience. Also, Scott I. there is great as well, used to spar with them back in the day. The only reason why I'm not there now is because I moved out of Hawaii and now work on the east coast 😥. Still, I practice what I learned there to this day.

@@Refuse2Lose33 Scott and I are actually neighbors. He's my main contact if I cant make it down to JKDU to train. What a small world!

@@ninjakicks808 Indeed. That's great, you are lucky my man! I was in the Navy at the time and had to take a taxi when I had time off. Training there is ALL I did in Hawaii in addition to work. If I take a trip out to Oahu in the future, I'll be sure to look you guys up again at the Hongwanji!!👍👍

Thanks bro!!
