What Is Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do? 

If you like this video give it a thumbs up and subscribe so I know to make more videos like this one. If this is your first time watching my video, comment below and tell us about yourself. And if you’ve been watching my videos for some time now, comment your biggest takeaway from this video.

" my style ? I guess you could say it's the art of fighting without fighting " - Bruce Lee, martial artist Enter The Dragon He was giving the world what JKD was right there

Jeet Kun Do is like the symbol for infinite ... Your Jeet Kun Do and my Jeet Kun Do are completely different because we are all different so its not a generic question or answer ... The only constant is being able to adapt and respond to the situations life throws at us - sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, but Jeet Kun Do is about preparation and dedication to learning ... Best way to sum it up - Van Damme in Bloodsport : Shidoshi Tanaka trained him so well, he could face anybody in the tournament in any condition, he was prepared 🙏

My take away from this video is that JKD is truly what Bruce said about being water - it's hard to predict exactly how water will flow down a surface or it will never flow exactly the same way twice - much like Bruce's techniques - he's always changing, being unpredictable

You should set up a live stream where you sit down and watch a bruce lee movie while interacting with the chat

In Hindi Jeet means Victory

JKD to me is a philosophy, A way of expressing oneself honesty, And what Bruce Lee was teaching, And what you guys are teaching and learning, Are the latest results that Bruce Lee got after applying the tao of jeet kune do. JKD is nameless, unlimited, unrestricted philosophy that allows to express oneself honesty. and like Bruce Lee said: "Learn the way, then find your own way".

The Biggest takeaway for me is personalization, making it your own. Find a good teacher, learn what you can, keep what is useful, discard the rest, repeat.

I have always been a big fan of Bruce Lee. He did and left us so much in such a short time. What he left was an impression so strong and deep, that we are still talking about him and studying his teachings, everything about him, 40+ years later. I feel like the very basics of JKD are the most useful. And you can spend years just mastering those simple techniques, and be a very good fighter, or be very good at defending yourself. The higher skills, I sort of feel, are more personal, or unique to Bruce himself. Dan, like you and Sifu explained, Bruce was incredibly fit to say the least, he trained his body relentlessly. I wanna say he had "super human speed, strength, and reflexes". This hard work also gave him an uncanny sense of knowing what someone else was going to do, intercepting them. The term quantum entanglement comes to mind. 🙂 And as fast as Bruce was to try a technique one week, revere it, then throw it out the next, I really wonder or daydream a little once in awhile, where he might have gone, or what direction he might have taken JKD in, as he got older. Would he have turned more towards Tai Chi as he aged, or would he have come up with something even more potent. I've seen some amazing inner chi, or qi abilities, performed by monks and other MA practitioners. It's fantastical to think what Bruce might have been able to do, if he had lived and put as much fervor into the inner disciplines, as he did the physical. Not that he didn't already have some of those powers, I just think he was still learning to harness and focus them. I always look forward to these weekend videos, thank you! 🙏

after watching tens of sifu octavio's videos, I have realised there isn't better instructor / teacher about jkd and all other teachers I will find won't satisfy me in my country. But unfortinutely he is basically on another continent to me :D So all I can do is to watch his videos over and over again and practice at home.

Now I'm becoming more interested in wanting to learn

I rewatched Enter The Dragon the other night and I have decided that I’m going to learn JKD starting this week !

It’s simple , Be Water

I started studying Jeet Kune Do back in 85 86.

I don't practice JKD or any MMA's at the moment, nor have I in the past but my understanding of JKD is that there are of course techniques and skills to be taught, but i feel as if that is only the foundation for a much greater thing that must be found in yourself, that to truly "master" JKD is to evolve it in your own interpretation and to find what *you* can apply and adapt to the best.

Dan. In your book FU Money, you stated a story of how you got a call from your aunt in Hong Kong saying your dad is in stroke. And that was the turning point and you said that to change one self, pain is a requirement. Tai lopez talks about the same thing that its much difficult to teach an old dog new tricks. And that after you're 25 or 30 you mostly learn through massive trauma/pain. Do you agree with this? Would you say the optimal time to develop yourself is when you're under 25? If possible, a video on this would be great. Thanks Dan, love your videos

You're amazing sir your advice is golden and I've taken it and I'm getting close to making my fu money and having that dream life granted I've had to work so many countless days without sleep and had to straight hustle but I ain't quitting I'm gonna keep hustling and working hard until I achieve my dreams which is close or die trying

Makes me think. It’s not always about the tactic, the technique. Maybe it’s never about those things. Maybe it’s about the deep side, the how, the why, the attitude behind everything performed. Bruces book “Tao of Jeet Kune Do” has been stated to be not a set of instructions, but moreso an insight into Bruce’s life.

I like Bruce Lee for his speed, agility, footwork, power, flexibility and technique.

one thing i noticed this channel have no adds. i never see any other channel with no add.

Hey Dan do u use the HTC phone? Hahahahaha I like it. Dan is the perfect book for me on youtube.

Love Bruce Lee! I want to learn JKD

I know what bruce lees jeet kune do is its fucking beautiful thats what it is 👍

I love your video's and Sifu Oct's perspective. I think Bruce passing away he didn't get to fully develop his JKD. I think if he was alive today he would have an unbeatable art. JKD would be an all round art consisting of striking, grappling and ground work. Anyways, we could talk forever like you said about Bruce and JKD lol. Keep the video's coming. I love them 🙂.

Hi, Dan. I really liked and that video. Bruce Lee was a phenomenon human being and really dedicate to his art. Dan I really like that between the other you mention and what Joe Luis said: Bruce knew when you will move-attack, but you didn’t when he will. God bless you. George from Greece.

Good video, I wish I could be taught by Octavio in Madrid (Spain)

Thanks for these awesome videos and taking the time to make them! ✌️

Dan can you do a video on what bank details to give to the customer for them to finish the deal while making a sale on the phone. Thank you

very good. I really liked that concept. It's how I think too. and read the books of BRUCE LEE's methods, I think it teaches us the way and the method of fighting and doing it the best way. the concept, the idea is to try to do it as we read the methods that BRUCE left us. we would spend many days talking about them. and we would never come to an end of everything LEE teacher left us. Greetings. Good Life.

Thanks to both master we love JKD we keep learnin about bruce lee 🌎👍

I am watching "Enter The Dragon." There is a scene in the movie where someone puts a standing rear naked choke on Bruce. He defended it with the same move I saw recently where a high ranked UFC fighter was teaching how to defend that choke! :-)

Wing Chun is the foundation and what a lot of people either don't know or don't acknowledge is that theres a very strong Kenpo influence. Along with the other stuff. And then there's the philosophy.

😊

Very important information. Thanks ...JKD...

As someone who's afraid of heights, this video makes me feel uneasy.

@dan lok Hello Sifu, The Last weeks there has been much rumour around DK YOO an how he teaches and uses Material Arts . My question: Would you mind giving your opinion on it? Thanks a lot !

Traditional JKD to me is based solely on three main art and only three main art, Wing Chun, Fencing and Boxing. Bruce then borrowed kicking and added weights, fitness and strength training. There is a Bob Bremer interview you need to watch. Bob always thought that JKD was modified Wing Chun. Until one day says Bob, "One day I looked up on the TV and saw this Kung Fu Practitioner from the Yip man Wing Chun school in Hong Kong and it was all there. What Bruce taught in Chinatown was basically Wing Chun and it wasn't changed as much as Bremer thought. Bruce did say, don't stop there, add what is useful and disregard what is useless. But for me JKD is so modified that it looks nothing like JKD. I see punches, back fist, kicks that are use in todays JKD that are not graceful like Bruce Lee was but very unattractive and all about power instead. if you ask me, go back to basics if you have to. Wing Chun is the bases of JKD, I believe Wing Chun trapping and centre line should always cont. in JKD including fencing and boxing stance. But remove what is useless. Remember, "Be water my friend".

Yes like it I look all the videos and Dan inosanto and most of the JKD instructor works in fighting the Tao of Jeet Kune Do book h we l.p. me alot

I live in a small town in the heart of Europe Czech Republic... I don't have and even can't have a teacher of jkd because there is no-one here or at least close to my so my question is... Can I really learn jkd from you guys ... I mean... Can I learn it from internet?

Many thanks.

you always have to be renewing yourself, because you never know what you can find tomorrow. read, re-enacting, practice and from that plan to get all the juice of many more. style, without style, form without form. adapting to the unexpected. MYSELF. The art of Jeet Cune Do is simply simplify. It is the being one; it is reality in "itself". Thus, "if same" is the meaning, to have freedom in its primary sense, without being limited by dependencies, confinements, parcializaciones, complexities. BY: BRUCE LEE. GREETINGS. GOOD LIFE☯☯

Interesting

The 3 most illegal cheat/hacks in fighting your bully 1. Kyokushin 2. Holding their foot forever until they yielded 3. *Being water*

Jeet Kune Do.. Has something very special designed with in the system intercepted the opponents intention.. be the first to strike! Excellent .

JKD is the martial art that allow one to express themselves honestly. so in my opinion To express oneself honestly as who you are meaning each one of us will express it in our own art? I dunno for sure... If Bruce Lee is here i think there possibilities he would introduce some movement update or maybe not but it sure are limitless.

Yup, I studied that one before...

Look at this way, no matter who against who, what kind of fight, but the fight will go or start by one side first to step, so if you on the the other side, you have to wait he move and attack him, speed defines winner, same in football or any game, like if you control the ball of course your opponent will approach you , and your job is just to pass the ball before he get to you, that's all it's about , BUT I don't know IF you're surrounded and they're not approaching you at all, they just sorrounding you, that will be the different story

Love this video you right about how bruce change it up and how nobody knows the real art of JKD true yes just express it the best way you can i use to think how would he throw his punch or kick to until i stop doing that

Dan I notice that you have a passion for Martial Arts .. so why don't you do a Martial Art school like batman begins league of shadows Headquarters ? I once joined a Martial Arts 3 days seminar in Lebanon where they took us to sleep in monastery guest house and in the early morning we would have a long march uphill to reach an ancient roman temple ruins where we engage in learning and training in circles going through different styles of martial arts (Muay Thai, Kali , Jujitsu, CQC ect) from Gurus and World Champions ... it was a great experience..

It's the way of fighting without fighting.

How is thier 20 comments and i can only see a couple??????????????

Do you like Lyoto Machida?

I think you are wrong about what is Jeet kune do as I studied with Daniel Lee so I do jfjkd . Your version is just that what you interpret from it in case is what you learned and what you took from it that physically helped you as an individual but you should only take what helps you as an individual

One of the most epic MMA hybrids in history.

Yo dan I have a mentor who cusses at me and calls me dumb ass. Just wanna know if I should stay with someone like that. Just wanna know your opinion

Oh yea!

it's the art of expressing yourself ok so if I intercept a attack then I'm using the philosophy of bruce lee sifu so it is easy to beat a opponent by using jeet kune do the way of the intercepting fist

Please put English subtitles during your videos I'm beginner to learn pronounced English so difficult for me to understand .. response to my comment ..

To truly be like Bruce Lee you need to find your own originality.

Also let your "Sifu" be the SIFU!

wait.... it's not Yeet?

Still doing business videos old friend?

My name is "Jeet".

That man is high as a kite.

👍👍

🤔

x) 💪🏼🔥

Wow, after ten minutes, I still have no idea what the heck Jeet Kun Do is. But they sure are trying to sell it, whatever that is.

WATER

you are crystalizing the art : its not JKD you are just imitating what you are teaching is Jun Fan Gung Fu not JKD

By the time you figure ALL of that OUT in a street fight...YOUR DEAD☠☠☠

Master Wong.

s/o to Khabib who just ruined his legacy. Lovely video!

don't forget evacuatingunactinunactingevacuating

Don't concentrate on the finger

For me the best and simplest definition of Jeet Kune Do is... MMA! That's according to Bruce Lee's philosophy. BTW, Beautiful view!

jkd sucks, if you really wanna be a good fighter, learn muay thai bjj or wrestling

Bruce Lee was a HUGE womanizer. 😕

I wish you'd separate your channel. I've for the martial arts information and one for the useless and valueless business advice.
