Some people don't like this? This truly is 80s Gold and useful ass practical solid movements that have been adapted into several modern combatives and martial arts. Love this shit it's great
Ever grapple with him? I have. He's a beast and very well trained in all ranges of hand to hand combat. My instructor was one of the guys in Anatomy of a Streetfight and Mr Vunak came in for a seminar. Grappling was 1/2 of the seminar. Good times.
Paul Vunak is one of the best on self-defence in my point of view. Everything he teaches is based in reality and experience. There are a lot of people still today who promote their style and call it self-defence and then comes a lot of bullshit, but Vunak is different.
It's great to see someone who understands concepts dealing with street fighting. Most have no idea that you are one of the rare individuals that can hurt someone severly. Unfortunately a lot of people dont understand that MMA and real fighting are different. MMA is great but it's a sport. For someone to comment on how this wouldn't work in MMA is ignorant and shows their lack of knowledge. Why would I learn the game of baseball if I wish to play in the NFL. Both are sports, diffent games.
Except baseball and nfl are worlds apart whereas mma is now considered the epitome of hand to hand combat even in the military. Sure, comparing it to very specific circumstances in sport mma competition wouldn’t be fair, but effective and tested hand to hand combat system doesn’t get any better than the fundamentals modern mma.
And the implications that there is no carryover is equally ignorant. Skills gained for the purpose of mma do serve you in a real fight. That's a fact. It's also a fact that many mma practitioner do so because it's the only reliable way to train self defense in real time. Sparring partners don't generally like eye gouges, ear claps, eye nose throat groin strikes. Etc. What I mean anecdotally is you can practice gun disarms but you should still carry a gun.
@@Minsang1st not really, MMA would kind of be like learning Greco Roman wrestling and try to apply it to a street fight. They would train to do the wrong things in a street fight. MMA doesn’t allow ALL of the things you should do immediately in a real fight. Anything the MMA says is an illegal action is exactly what you should do in a live fire situation.
Paul's list:1. Teach knife fighting - check2. Teach Jun Fan - check3. Teach Wing Chun - check4. Go to the Wang Chung concert - definitely!. Natural progression from Wing Chun to Wang Chung.
Where I practice eskrima we are also taught dumog. I can tell you first hand that it's no bs. It's about knowing human fysiology and body mechanics. You can see some of the same principles in f.e. Thaiboxing, jujitsu (both Brazilian and Japanese) and especially the chinese kung fu discipline of 'pushing hands'.
@@mikegreene8461 Homie you responded to a 9 year old comment to correct the english of a guy from the Netherlands who's not speaking his native language.
@@mikegreene8461 Both of your posts are lacking the the grammar department, that you would try to call me out on mine really drives the whole douchebag act home.
If you'll notice, trapping techniques make a whole lot more sense when you utilize them to bridge into a grappling movement rather than awkwardly swatting and chasing the man. Once you got him, don't let him get away I say.
The 80's was "THE PARTY!" , the 90's was the hangover, the 2K's was the withdrawal, and the 2010's was the addiction, the 2020's is rock bottom. It either gets better from here, or we all "die". I don't care what a Boomer says, the 60's and 70's was not as great as the 80's - ever.
@@hazor777 90’s parties were better and the ladies were more adventurous then, lots of fun. Then the 21st century came with all the rent hikes and we all became rent slaves to some landowner’s passive income. Predatory Privatization will eat the Soul of Capitalism until it’s host perishes.
Well, the JKDers and their former members were part of the whole built up to modern MMA before there was even the first UFC. Paul Vunak and Hal Faulkner trained with Rickson Gracie way back in the late 80s and helped promote BJJ among the community. Former Vunak and Inosanto student Marc Denny founded DOgBrothers real stickfighting and was a judge in UFC 1. Makes me mad when I hear 15 year olds trash JKD and praise UFC today without knowing what they talk about. My 2 cents
Absolutely!! Most modern MMA guys are have little or any clue of the contributions of individuals like Paul who was exploring the concepts before they were born and yes he was working wit the Gracie’s before they were even known outside of Brazil. 😎
@@jasonrudolph491 Yes. Smart martial artists back then recognized their lack of grappling and became white belts again. Dan Inosanto and Chuck Norris and many others. Learn your weaknesses and do something about it.
@TwoGunGunnar I understand what you're saying. It's just so much to learn... That being said, that's where training comes in. Where things start to flow out naturally, and, with training, you'll realize a lot of what works for you, what doesn't, and what works for different situations.
@@TM-rh7zs It means that Paul can no longer teach what he taught to SEAL Team 6 to civilians to prevent others to develop counter. That is the main reason why Kali in PH during the ancient times a secretive art. Well you can watch "Hunted" that's very much it but just a scratch of the surface.
I think Paul Vunak played a very important role in modern MA, as his research has been a kind of bridge btw JKD concepts and MMA - in fact, Matt Thornton's MMA-centred "functional JKD" is a natural evolution of JKD.... keep on the great work guys.
Very good material. And the best important thing: you avoid going to the ground if it's possible on street fight. Similar to Muay Thai clinch, but with no rules. Very effective
In kali, there supposed to be very athletic and able to switch from being low to the ground to getting up, so anyone that understands the entire fma system youd be able to see someone trying to wrestle you to the ground a mile a way and be able to flow from suntukan/Panantukan/dumog/kali
@@Tony-ky6hh I don't know. I practice Kali and being very athletic is not that important as for example Muay Thai. You need elasticity, flow, technique and speed. With a knife you don't need very much brute force. Empty handed dumog is not as effective in close combat against grappler. However, a grappler doesn't know to manage weapons distance and do proper footwork. Grappler must do knife technique; Kali practioner must know the basics of grappling
@@mariano.campos your right i could be wrong, but it just seams that way to be a well rounded fma fighter. Out of curiosity how long have you been practicing ?
@@Tony-ky6hh 3 years Muay Thai 2years Kali. I only said that the muscle force is not very important on a knife fight. Precisely, is more effective combine knife defense flow and dumog. It's like a chi Sao with knife or sticks in your hands. I know you know that
@TwoGunGunnar You don't - he is very specific about differentiating between PROTECTION and PERFECTION. This particular vid is VERY applicable IRL, as is most of Vu's stuff. Drilling stuff in a realistic manner makes it visceral and easier to apply when needed. At it's simplest Vu uses Blast- HKE and the other stuff is more along the lines of "what if..?" whilst applying your main "formula"
i guess i kinda meant that but also. that they seem to be influential in many mma circles since many jkd guys branch out in to sport martial arts that tend to be used in MMA
@TheKlaj1992 This is not fancy at all, IMO, it just sounds fancy because of the terminology he's using. He really just breaks down fighting based on distance, and what really works. He's widely considered one of the most realistic instructors in the world. Taken out of context, i could see how a small clip could seem "fancy", but you should check out some of his other stuff. He instructs something like 12 different government agencies because it's so simple and easy to learn.
Actually, it was only the very late 80's/early 90s that this look came in. The early 80s were a return to the neatness of the 30s & 40s -- that look prevailed for most of the decade.
Greg nelson the mma grappling trainer talked about dumog. i later found out he was trained by dan inosantos lol. jkd guys are like the illuminati of mma
Hoolega on vaja kuulata, video keskel on hea meeldetuletus, et enne liigutust on lõdvestus jne. 1-2-3, kus 2 on lõdvestus. Bruce, JKD ja Win Chun õpetavad(sid) seda niigi aga hea on üle kuulata. Thank You! Great Vid.
You're right this is a staged demo, and some live footage would be nice. However, principles Paul teaches here, are sound and would come in handy in anybody's self defense toolbox!
Even Mike Tyson couldn't hit you if you are using Dumog....I'd like to have seen Paul demonstrate that at the time (!!).... All the same, an awesome instructional vid on the subject.....
@Robopencil yes 2 thumbs way up. iv een saying the same shit with very little positive feedback i cant stand play fighting arts. man your comment is gold. thank you i was wondering if i was almost alone.
ufc is sport and become sport more and more now the have breaks in it in real fight there is no breack in real fight you can do many things that you cant do in ufc but can end up a fight quick
he's crazy good he's just so into it he's the real thing hard core i think he is so awsome he's for real and cut's threw the shit where bruce was learning and in bloom and cut short the great bruce . and so cool he dose the bongo's to no beat and half beats and so on. he's a defent faverite of mind with the tranquil of dan also and taky to love to here those 2 talk best to them all rick
Hes doing muay Thai in the beginning which is the best stand up art because it has knees elbows good low kicks that work. that's all good this would work on most martial arts and karate yes but it's not gonna work on a good bjj grappler.
when dan ino teaches in in corparates alot of his background into jkd since his branch is the philisophical one and the other branch under ted won is the more conservative
