JKD CLOSE QUARTER FIGHTING  

So does grappling, bud

Yeah, but if the guy threatens you first, you can see it on camera. You were in self defence.

lol bjj in the elevator 🤦‍♂️

Its not about the people, but functionality and accuracy about JKD. What I hate is the misconception about JKD. I'm not selling you Ford under the Mercedes badge.

It’s outdated stuff. People are teaching things Bruce moved away from. Chain punch from Bruce in 1973? Come on man. He was way beyond that stuff by that point.

@@axelstone3131 - Right, I get your point, I'm just thinking the actual chain punch move is cool if you can use it, given the opportunity, even in sparring or official competitions.

@@MartialArtsMoves I’m sure there are more efficient, powerful and direct punches than the chain punch.

Thanks!

Superior mobility, weapons or no weapons.

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO gotcha 👍🏻

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO have you even seen footwork from Tommy you found baffling? Or were puzzled by? Maybe when you started? I ask because of what some people have said about Bruce that they were baffled by his movement/footwork

@axelstone3131 yes, his speed and clean movement at the same time. Also when I saw him hitting pads the first time, the sound was like firing a gun.

@@ThomasMarxJeetKuneDoIFO wow that’s sounds impressive ! 👊 💥 💨 😧 wow

@scottrussell876 Why trap when during the same time you can hit and move? Trapping takes more steps and it was originally designed against styles that did not move fast and powerful compared to boxing. I have done trapping and everywhere you see on the internet shows the same thing: no power, pausing/no retracting, slow. It doesn’t work as good compared to just punch from different angles and use mobility. That is what Bruce went towards.

@@SuperMaryu767 I totally get what you’re saying and I’m all about the simplicity as he is… Just was curious about when can it be applied… Appreciate it

Transitioning between ranges. Like in an airplane, bus or hallway close.

@brucehuddler7518 Why learn certain techniques for different ranges? You can punch in what is considered kicking range and so forth. The only transition is the distance, not the techniques especially techniques that don’t work under pressure like trapping.

​@@scottrussell876 Just abandoned it and move to a simple and effective solution. Soon you will understand it. and Just watch some real wing chun fights, all of them is far from what you've watch in the movies.

Simple, but not easy. This doesn’t pay the bills, as most people are searching for the “secrets “ to martial arts, accumulation, vs stripping away the inessential. It’s constantly refining the basics that get you there, as the grind is boring for most people (it’s the same with Fencing) And what is refining? Stripping away all unnecessary movement and tension, developing a keen awareness of your own body mechanics. Refinement.
