JEET KUNE DO: Trapping To Boxing 

I like what im seeing and hearing. What this sifu is trying to get across is the point is to be styleless, to not have a particular form but be able to flow and merge the arts.

I love this. My wing chun/ muay thai teacher always said "it's not about the moves, it's about the principles." Like any discipline, whether it's martial arts, engineering, teaching or whatever, it's always about the principles.

I trained with Two Bruce Lee students and the most well know "Back yard" student for 16 years or so. I like what you are doing. Nice Job. I will say having fought muy Thai and having been a major boxing Gym rat until I was 50, Really good boxers and kickboxers have answers for a lot of the JKD stuff. Keeping it simple seemed to work the best; good footwork, controlling distance, ample use of lead hand lead leg, intercepting when possible ( watch out for "counter time" from good fighters. They will feint to draw your interception and then counter your counter!) It's a fencing technique we JKD'ers should use, but good fighters do it naturally. Good fighters are no joke. JKD kept me above water in a lot of gyms thank goodness. My advice is to work out at a good gym where Boxers, muy thai and or mma fighters are in addition to practicing JKD. JKD worked wonders when all everyone knew was traditional Karate or Tae Kwon do. With the proliferation of fighting arts and so many people in the water, JKD does not give the edge it used to. It still has a technological edge. Watch Samart highlights. Ironically, the best Muy thai fighter in History looks like how a JKD fighter would fight most of the time. Remember, he was world class boxer and Muy thai fighter, and knew when and how to apply his interceptions and footwork. Get out of the JKD bubble to get fight experience is my advice.

This is something I've been practicing in my JKD training for a while. Very important to understand how to properly bridge different fighting styles. That is flow. That is the way of having all styles and no style.

Not sure how to politely put this, but sorry there's a major flow with the execution here. You JKD folks like the idea of intercepting so this should be something straight forward to grasp. First things first, this slap to the belly is not really major to your opponent. It's just an unarmed hand and I don't want to expand more on it. The main thing wrong here is when sifu is doing this slap, he is leading with his face, further to this puts his arm down thus opening himself up even more. He is very susceptible to being stopped with a stiff jab. Watch in slow motion start at 3:54 or 3:57 and you will see clearly that opponent can just punch your nose with his lead hand. It's not smart to let yourself in range like that. You go up against the right guy and you are just provoking them. The head enters in a nice straight line also (thanks centerline), it's moving forward to compound more damage.

Sifu, this is the evolution if the chun. The transition of the mind frame. I love it

Great lesson, I've done JKD since I was 17 years old trying to understand bridging the gap from different system to another is amazing. Just let it flow and feel ur partner, then it'll just like second nature.

This is absolutely phenomenal. Sifu Singh uses unparalleled methods to combine Jeet kun do trapping into traditional boxing. If only this was included in his online training curriculum.

I've been thinking of trapping with other styles for some time, the only thing that came to mind was hand arts like joint manipulations or inside throws from jujitsu. It's really cool to see its application to Western boxing. We are blessed that Bruce came up with JKD what a evolution in fight psychology.

Those shirts are badass and I love how you bring techniques and blend with philosophies. 🥋

Perfect to add in my current boxing arsenal. Been practicing Kali for a while and so far my boxing inside game definitely improves.

This is good stuff. It also works well if you break centerline and weave to the outside as you trap. You can also use the trapping to give you a advantage on entry to the clinch.

Sigung Singh, you're a good teacher. I love what you taught! "Be like water My Friend", Sigung Bruce Lee. There's so much to learn, so I keep learning. Thank you for the lesson and the knowledge.

Bruce Lee was beyond that...

Crazy head exposure. Bruce would never lean in and expose his head like that, this is nuts lol

The presentation on how you can use the discipline in a real situation. Great vid 👍

Damn, lots of Bruce Lee fan boys on these JKD channels!

Great self perfection training..body mechanics are nice ..🥊

Looks good, pretty legit stuff! Bruce would be proud of this instruction.

Nice skill set 🥊

Yeah he moves awesome I've always liked this guy . His body movement and stuff he's very fluid and looks good doing it

Good explanation brother. Thanks.✊🏽

Thanks for the demo sir....

That was Amazing.😍😍

I like what I'm seeing and hearing 👏

Who did you train with? Dan Inosanto use to really work on stuff like that. I have a few old VHS tape’s with him really working boxing flows with a low cloths line. Then lots of trapping and entry concepts, if I remember correctly on the same tape. When I was really into this stuff I really loved Miuy Thai and got pretty efficient with that, but also incorporated some JKD concepts, and Silat stuff when it suited me. I’m a short 5’ 4” 190lb lean 20 year old at the time. So I had my disadvantages and advantages. JKD really help me with that 45 degree lateral moment to gain entry with the taller guys. I got really good at a blind kind of an over cross. Anyways nice video.

You are the man.

Checkin' out the footwork. Sifu Singh can dance too!

Appreciated Sifu

You can easily score or create a opening using PIA. It's the best set up for every offensive counter, and too throw your opponent off guard. Nice work!!!

Very nice !!.

Wow, Jeet Kune Do boxing style is way more effective than ever 🥰

personal ly, jkd is a concept to me. it is flowing and transitioning from one style to the next, whatever it may be, seamlessly.

Wonderful

Wonderful like it ❤️

This rarely works in the mma world. I don’t know why. This seems like it is very effective. I am sure it would work very well as a self defense.

These techniques are in which category of jkd belts?

This is real one !

Good Wing Chun boxing mix...

That's great Singh..the JUNG DA GUA CHOY PING CHOY is in every jkd guys toolbag.. very nice . Maybe be careful about moving your head too close when it's not needed.

Good stuff... Very Pauk Vunak-ish style of JKD

Please make some video of the different throwing techniques in JKD. :)

Buen trabajo

Sigung.Singh is the truth flat out

dudes dope¡!!

In my boxing club if you attak down with low hands you get automatcally à one two In the head

You can play slap hand , or use low line kicks, or move off the line of attack, use some powerful mid target power kicks

Thank u sifu

I can tell this guy is a deep thinker

Very cool

Boxing hands are a very good asset to anyone trying to get in or avoid fights you can't just trap all day and expect it to work. At some point you have to get in there and mix it up and you have to have hands. Not thar trapping can't work but there's certain places where it breaks down and you need to switch it up.

This is a style for street fighting that’s what Bruce always intended it for

Everybody has a plan.til they get punched in the face! (Tyson)

You got another subscriber my dude, fucking awesome

That's good skills

I have been trying this on sparring partners. On lower level partners, it works well. But on higher level partners that have a decent kicking game (Esp. Side kicks and teeps), I find this difficult even though I love doing it. Any suggestions against TKD type dudes please?

Sifu Singh !

Rất hay 😊😊😄😄👍

Interesting

At 0:01 the defender should extend his longest weapon to prevent approaching. The basics to apply to such an exposure.

Decent. For the ring though, gotta turn that backhand into a hammer fist and immediately follow with a straight rear hand. Otherwise, magick...a great demo of boxing set ups!

Its fighting no matter what. The name is for people who are all about them selves. Reminds me of NAPOLEON DYNAMITE

Great they calll counter parry

Love jeekungdo Bruce Lee best

Focus and speed

Just like bagua zhang it was said to be created for people who already knew how to fight these arts are for advanced fighter learning it by self will take a life time to understand how to make it work with no fighting experience

Shouldn't it THEN (As ONE sequence) go into Grappling, so you do that to stun or hit, then IMMEDIATELY follow a grappling chain, JKD is meant to be adaptive and always change isn't it? Don't stand and try to be Bruce less, do that and hit them a few times, but IMHO then do grappling as it is the faster way to stop them(Hitting you). EDIT, as I paused the video to write that comment, i clicked to keep watching, Sifu Singh said wrestling after that. WELL DONE, with respect to Sifu Singh. I am glad you said that.

Situation looks quick, but with the body blows, he may be a left hook target

You guys smoke budo. 😅😂just kidding. I always liked this video. 🥊💥💯

How real a danger is breaking your own hands in a street fight if you punch your opponent hard? Boxers always compete with their hands wrapped as well as gloved, but when, for instance, Mike Tyson got into street fights he broke his hands. I'm just wondering how much punching for self-defense should be emphasized if you're likely to break your own hand hitting someone's hard head?

sinds you call your trainer sifu i wander if jkd is a kungfu "style"

Bruce Lee was the trainer of John Lewis ,who won karate championship, Mike stone also

Hmmm I don't know, it looks like nice and if your opponent sticks to striking I guess.

Being at the level where u can find flaw in another Doctor's teachings, or coach, or whatever field you're in, and having the grace and humility to not say anything, are two separate things lol. He's good. Everyone has flaws. He seems fun to train with. I wonder which of Bruce's originals he trained under?

haha fonzie training with sunglasses

Heavy uppercut

id like to see this in a dparring session with a rral boxer

Oke heard the talking, now prove it under pressure. Try this concept on an actual boxer, and yes it has to be a boxer because I know u can beat up any regular guy, thats obvious.. Without the prove it stays pure theory🤷🏼‍♂️

He feels everything out then acts like he already knew that and sees where is arms are and says thats why my arms are like this he makes it up as he goes

Never underestimate the back fist!

Bruce lee said its a concept not style ffs

Bruce would exploit all those openings...damn lol

I hope someday jetkundo will become ufc champions winner

''Everyone has a plan' till they get punched in the mouth''....Mike Tyson.

He's wide open we he's coming in does that make sense

If you try this to me one feet back and rotate left punc in the head and right jab with all my kilos and KO Never be with no defending head Thas is the 1thing that we teach I boxing

Legit thought this was from trappin to boxing 😆

Look at this

it is bom bom bam wow uuuuuu

I have a legit question. I’m an amateur mma fighter and have been boxing for a while. I don’t really see how this is useful in a ring or a cage. I respect all martial arts and how they teach discipline and respect, but how is this useful against a good jab and a cross. Do you know what I’m saying? A fast snapping jab, a good feint, and a sharp cross. When I look at this, it seems like that’s all it would take for this to not work? Maybe I’m bias or I’m not seeing it right. Can someone enlighten me thank you all!

Does that make sense....

I prefer to trap with my lead hand, it works way better. 99% of the time you see trapping being used in mma or boxing, it's with the lead hand, and the rear hand is used to strike.

“Don’t think, feel”

It's crazy when most jkd guys teach trapping as the founder of jkd had left trapping behind yet the word wing chun is all ways used bruce moved away from wing chun. Jkd is based on simplicity longest weapon nearest target. Why trapp when you can hit him with a finger jab to the eys simplicity is key in jkd but most don't go by this facts

I would love to see this in a real fight against someone who’s just as fast

I feel like trapping is like a catch and shoot

I get what this guy is saying, because I thought this in tae kwon do, the patterns and theory that they never apply in sparring and bouts... Should be applied but as and when necessary, but in most martial arts they separate the theory and katas from the fighting style and we great broken art forms.. Then the mm community says they are useless in fights when in actual fact they are incomplete fighting styles... They taught me how to do blocks for years everyday to perform in patterns so I could get a new belt... But in tournaments and sparring I would have my hands down at my was it throw no punches and only ever dodge never block madness really

I like all this stuff, it's very similar to the wing chun (which is obvious considering JKD's origins), however... watching videos doesn't help you. If you want to try it out, don't go to your class where you are practicing, just try a guy who is a real boxer, and test it. It looks all cool and nice when he stops after first punch to let you do "your stuff", but if he just pushes hard on you, it's a different story. I'm not saying it won't work. Just don't believe you're golden against a boxer if the only sparing you tried was with a classmate who doesn't really try to "beat you up".

Head down. Hand down leading w a jab to body? Likely to catch a knee or elbow.

Be like water is a metaphor to adapt to how your opponent fights. IDK what this water flows and crashes is about from people who are practitioners of Bruce Lee's martial.art.
