Wing Chun vs Jeet Kune Do 

I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching guys!!

I started boxing in my teens. Then, I studied Jun Fan Gung FU/JKD for about 6 years. I thought the art was great for basic self-defense and general awareness. But once I started to study Wing Chun, there was a stark difference in my growth, control, and power. JKD appeared to be more "athletic," but the things I've been able to accomplish with understanding the forms, proper stance, and relaxation found in Wing Chun, have been incredible.

Wing Chun is a pretty decent art for close combat fighting. JKD was developed to be utilized at all ranges and for ground fighting as well. So, JKD is a more well rounded art.

Now I'm becoming even more interested in learning both those arts

Jeet Kune do is very different than Wing Chun. Although Bruce started in Wing Chun and other Kung Fu systems and had experience in boxing etc he pretty much moved away from most of the trapping before his death. Trapping and other things like locking etc was to be thought of as either incidental or accidental, the main purpose is always to be more simple and direct and hit the person's intention before he can react, everything else was just supplementary. Jeet Kune do is a principal based art, simple direct, non-classical, no limitation as limitation and encompasses all ranges of combat having no way as way, pretty much being a jack of all trades with idea of using the fundamental principles like the five ways of attack, which isn't in just one particular system but just encompasses the art of fighting. Bruce got rid of the forms and was looking for aliveness or realness sparring etc in training.

Something that is not mentioned is that unlike Jeet Kun Do, Wing Qun was designed to CONSERVE and quickly rebuild one's energy so that if necessary, one can endure through as many opponents as necessary, and as many at the same time as necessary. As the number of opponents rises, Jeet Kun Do's probability of survival drops. Also, while it sounds nice and flexible on paper, trying to develop your own style will always leave you with blind spots. Wing Qun has those knowledge gaps filled with a far deeper and more refined lineage, when adhered to. Food for thought.

If Bruce never started in Wing Chun he would have never evolved into.his own system I find both styles are great and conceptional

Another great video thanks 💖😁

That was a nice comparison. Thank you

DONT KNOW IF IT'S FAIR TO COMPARE THE 2 LIKE BRUCE SAID *"IF IT HELPS YOU IN A FIGHT U SHOULD LEARN TO USE IT DOSENT MATTER WHERE IT COMES FROM".*

Congratulations for your 1M subscribers 🎉🥳

great Video thx

There's a few moves in wing Chun I learned, monkey hug, praying mantis embrace. Both are locking on to the opponents body, monkey hug is with legs and arms, wrap opponent and maintain till opponents diaphragm remains still, then lock. Praying mantis embrace, you lock legs around opponent torso, then use elbows, the elbows breaks fingers and fist when opponents try to defend, then use hand chi technique to pierce opponents eyes..

EXCELLENT -nothing else to be said

Every martial art has something to offer...ive learned techniques from both of these systems and apply them in my own mma style.

Master Leung Bik instructed Ip Man and told him that although the core principles of Wing Chun are speed and leg support they do not prohibit changes. A principle Master Lee obviously took to heart when created Jeet Kune Do. I believe Jeet Kune Do is a natural progression of Wing Chun. While some Wing Chun purists may not approve of what Master Lee did.. I believe Jeet Kune Do honors its Wing Chun roots and I believe Master Ip Man would have approved of the style.

Studying JKD and WC since the 70's and practicing it most of my adult life I agree with some of what you said. However, it is ESSENTIAL to realize that a critical point of JKD is that you do NOT have to sacrifice power for speed or vice versa. This makes sense since the energy transferred is a squared function of the speed (e.g. 1/2 mv^2), and the damaging third order differential of velocity and beyond ("jerk" and "snap" "crackle" and "pop") are higher order functions of the acceleration of the acceleration and beyond. The transfer of that velocity based power is all about aligning the body's mass behind it, and doing so fluidly and as quickly as possible. Again, speed/velocity is the key variable. The more quickly and completely you can relax the opposing muscle groups for the benefit of speed and resulting power transfer, the more speed and resultant power you can transfer. While this is fundamental/basic stuff, I have seen plenty of American sensei's completely miss this, and assert that speed and power are inversely related. That is simply wrong.

Thats all good, but if you do research on street fights where practitionners have to fight in sudden confrontation, they often loose the ability the remember their fighting style and form and lose to brawlers. But its a beautiful artform and one should always seek a peaceful resolution.

It is weird that people learning Jet kune do ended up impersonating Bruce Lee 🤭

JKD has its roots in Wing Chun, as it incorporates its techniques such as the punches, simultaneous attack and defense, and the centerline theory.

Make a video about Chun Kuk Do (Chuck Norris) vs Jeet Kune Do (Bruce Lee)

thanks

Donnie as IP man, is very fitting, Donnie has always shown great control and stride

Don't punch the guy, the guy you really want to hit is behind him. -Johny Lawrence

It's not the style. It's the person using it

Both are good

Key phrase of this video "mind set".

If you have watched this channel for any lenghth of time you will realise it just shows loads of clips from films without actually seeing it sed

Legendary Wing Chun GRANDMASTER IP ****

If anyone wants more on the subject; I studied Asian Culture in College (four years) and studied Shaolin Kung Fu for 29 years, I studied Jeet Kune Do starting in 1973. A tragic year for me. There is a lot of BULLSHIT about the subject, I hope my research can help. I am also a research scientist from CU Medical Center.

You can’t compare it like that. As Bruce Lee said, everyone needs to find his own way. And therefore, Jeet Kune Do is more like a style. In Ving Tsun, it’s quite similar. Look at the ways different students of Ip Man fought and you’ll see, there are a dozen of differents. I learned Ving Tsun from a lineage of Wong Shun Leung, but I practiced Leung Ting Wing Tsun before. Totally different, actually Leung Ting is less Ving Tsun and more…Eskrima. But that’s the point…which style do you compare? This is too generalized. Nice to watch, but not more than a bit of entertainment

There are so many different JKD styles out there, every student of Bruce Lee developed another way of JKD. The original style of the early Bruce Lee called "Jun Fan Do" is a totally different style from the later JKD of Bruce. But that's natural for JKD, because Bruce was changing, BTW it is the purpose and goal in JKD to continually changing and adding, to be different and to be individual. For example my style of JKD is from a Korean master GM Mikhail Kim and is very different from Bruce Lee's JKD, only the main principles are more or less the same. BTW there are also countless Wing Chun styles inside classical Wing Chun according to GMM Leung Ting's "Roots of Wing Chun" book. So comparison of JKD and Wing Chun is really difficult to master. Just to compare the core concepts and main strategies of the main styles of late Bruce Lee's JKD and the very classical Ving Tsun of Wong Shun Leung or WT from Leung Ting is not enough imo. The principles and core concepts of classical Wing Chun and JKD may seem very different at the first glance, but on the other hand there are also some similarities. So which style is better? I trained both styles over 15 years, first different styles of Wing Chun and then JKD; so to fully master JKD I suggest to start with Wing Chun (to a certain level) and go over to JKD. It is like building a lego city, you can build it up further and further and yes, it's compatible. Please don't try to imitate somebody including Bruce, be yourself, that's the goal of JKD. Thx for this awesome video guys, please more of it.

The one thing all good fighters have in common, is speed. So power comes from speed.

I trained traditional martial arts for many years achieving multiple black belts and instructorships in such arts as, Taekwondo, Judo, Combat Sambo, Kickboxing, Shaolin kung Fu, Muay Thai Boxing, Kali, but when I really started to understand JKD every time I sparred with fellow instructors from different arts I wiped the floor with them. I don't want to sound arrogant in that statement, simply knowing JKD properly makes all the difference. You know how to adapt, counter, and how to intercept correctly. You learn about such things as, timing, half-beat attacks, drawing, faking, feinting, gaining a beat of time, non-telegraphic technique, directness, strategy, cutting the man in half, triple blows, breaking rhythm, re-zoning, stealing a step, cutting in to the tool, etc, etc. Sorry folks but Wing Chun doesn't teach you that. However, like anything, you need a very good instructor to teach you how to do it right with all the right content matter that Sijo Lee developed prior to his untimely death.

It boils down to the intensity of the practitioner in any of the styles , I'd say

Both arts are great

With all martial arts, it is good, depending on how you use it and adapt to your aponent. If you can control your hits and how hard and soft you can hit with that ultimate speed. You can hit on a soft note with the 1st hit, then automatically hit hard on the second hit with a 2 hit combo. You can have that style on showing a person to hit to defend your opponent on teaching..

Inch punch came from Wing Chun. Wing Chun has many exercises which build both power and speed. My punches and kicks are effective against people who were a lot larger than myself. Bruce Lee never finished Wing Chun or any other art. However, he worked hard and perfected the basics. Bruce Lee was not allowed to teach Wing Chun to foreigners so when he started teaching Wing Chun, he renamed his art and added other styles to fill in his gaps of knowledge.

Se fossi piu giovane imparerei secondo me per essere completo il kung fu : per la tecnica - la boxe : potenza dei colpi - il judo: prese e bloccaggi oppure MMA o la kick boxe ?? VOi quale dite la piu' completa ??

Mentioned- kicks are the strongest hits.... I have blocked and used multiple people's kicks against the person using it. It take focus and training though.

Muai thai/boxing plus freestyle wrestling are the best for body2body fight and for self defence.

It’s a mind set like spent a and leave mags

There's a Dan Inosanto video in which he states that Jeet Kun Do is Wing Chun at a distance or Chi Sau at a distance. He also goes onto say that without Wing Chun there is no Jeet Kun Do.

I'm sure we all know this but not only did he have to slow down his moves to be caught on camera but they actually slowed down the camera rate per frame so we could see it on camera and still then some of it you couldn't see well it's greased lightning all sudden John travolt just pops up and starts singing Grease lightning LOL.

styles only matter so much its usually the strength of the fighter and how good they are more than wing chun vs jeetkun do but i suppose its fun to compare

7:00 - Jeet Kune Do

I think Jeet Kune Do wins simply because of one particular principle. Pressure testing. Sparring and live combat drills are essential for any fighter to even remotely have a chance at survival and Bruce Lee couldn't stress this enough. After all how can you know what to do in a fight when you've never been in one before? Wing Chun purists have faltered time and time again to MMA fighters who have no restrictions on their style whatsoever. Even Bruce Lee himself lost a fight when he only knew Wing Chun. It wasn't until he won a boxing championship in Hong Kong where he finally began to develop himself as a true fighter.

just combine stuff if you can, it's like potion brewing in minecraft and making two types of cakes in one, if you can't take it, you're gone, if you managed to successfully combine stuff, congratulations a new style.

Wow

To the question why Wing Chun is not used in UFC: In the end, this style offers only a few ways to win: stab into the eye, crash in the windpipe and strike the chin with the ellbow. Maybe add a knee strike to the crotch. Because you are so close to the enemy, you lack the distance (and power) to shoot off a winning kick or a strike with the fist that would be OK with UFC rules. Of course, the short distance also increases the risk of being grappled and thrown - with the MMA opponent surely winning on the ground.

Wow in min 1:05 is our Sifu in Germany 😍👍🏽💪🏽.!!

In Jeet Kun Do defense , when an opponent steps forward, the first short kick to the forward knee of the attacker, of the JKD exponent is a Wing Chun kick. It is the one that is always used first in close quarters fighting, and therefore it is not exclusively part of JKD practice, but derived from WC. No-one is going to stand around waiting to be kicked by one of those huge JKD sidekicks, and once in the air they aren't changing direction. The fighter trying this is going to be caught out with a fast WC defensive counter measure. Wing Chun is always a defense attack move together, not one or the other. In that stupid scene in the roman Colosseum where Chuck Norris is standing there being kicked three times without using any defense to the same part of his body, which is complete rubbish. It would never have happened.

You should just review street fighter, ryu vs sagat

When you look at Mike Tyson's approach to his opponent, I can't see anyone standing in front of him for long when he was at his peak. Most martial artist are not built to take a full force Tyson punch, let alone a trained professional boxer. I also don't see either organized sport being able to handle an equally trained street fighter where there are no limits to his toolbox.

I knew some of these fightter

the one inch punch, isn't a bruce lee invention... but wing chun's... in fact all strikes in wing chun strive to be one inch strikes... which is pretty much using just your striking limbs to do 2 things, get your strike as close to your target as possible and get your limbs' structure set up to be able to deliver the full power of your body that the specific strike can muster... doing this will prevent your attacks from being powerful at their beginning, which allows you to recover quickly if your strike is blocked, parried, dodged or jammed early on, and keep your endurance up, after all moving an arm or a leg back into a defensive position on a failed attack is easier than moving your entire body. Then, if both conditions are met (close enough to target, structure in place), using the rest of your body to generate power for the attack.

truth is if shit hits the fan it dont matter. most street fights are so much of a blur, and stabbings happen so fast even bruce wouldn't stop it

bigest masters of wu shu wil always say : non technique is beter, only u can be beter than others

Street fight doesnt always come with a straight punch.. its always hook punches and low kicks

I feel like Wing Chun practitioners & Jeet Kune Do practitioners need to work on their Ground Fighting game like cross train in Submission Wrestling. But if Jeet Kune Do practitioners could retrace Catch Wrestling then they might have a good advantage in their ground fighting but i think Submission Wrestling surpass Catch Wrestling but its my opinion. You should do a video of Combat Sambo vs. Jeet Kune Do.

I have seen wing chun students. They may be fast but they lack power.

This is like the new generation vs the old

Punch Six Inches inside your opponent’s body. Punch repeatedly and unrelentingly from a very short distance. Do not clench your hand until the moment of impact. If it feels good you are doing it right.

You can't compare two which one derived from the other. For they are one in the same.

Like I do with aspects of religions in one, I incorporate a variety of fighting styles in my fighting practice. Love my Jkd, I respect the origin of it too. They both are excellent styles.

Wing Chun (traditional) is a combat art, jkd is a weak art, Wing Chun has very powerful, Wing chun is central line fighting , Bruce Lee 1" punch was developed by Wing Chun

Jeet kune do 👊

You didn't show any JKD ground work! The classes at KSK martial arts includes 25% BBJ and Submission Wrestling into it's training.

Make a vedio on kalaripyattu

Be formless like water comes from chinese philosophy which was taught to Bruce by Ip Man. It is part of the wing chun training philosophy that Bruce borrowed for jkd.

So why none of these are used in UFC? It's seems like someone who is this versed in the art should neutralize opponents in seconds.

I REALLY LIKE JEET KUNE DO s*** I really want to learn that damn Bruce Lee 👊

how can i enjoy the videooo??? the thumbnail is fighting 1 vs 1 from each other MA...sad click bait is the only u can do?

WHICH style or technique WORKS BEST ON THE STREETS IS KARATE OR WING CHUN OR JEET KUNE DO THE ANSWER IS NONE OF THE ABOVE BECAUSE IT'S THE PERSON that wills it ISKCON LIKE I like the man makes the suit not the suit that makes the man get it GOOD 👊

The man with the stronger mind and soul will win over any martial art

Speed and power cant be together? My friend said theres a technique where these two can be achieved together

Wing chun is a defensive based art. Ip Man blocked kicks and punches using kicks. Jeet Kun Do added an offensive aspect to the defensive art. Jeet Kun Do is Wing Chun. IP Man knew this.Bruce knew this..for Kung Fu learning is Never stagnant. And if your Base learning is Wing Chun, u are a Wing Chun practitioner, adding your personal style to your base art.....but there are politics in everything. Bruce swayed away from "wing chun" because politically amoung the chinese he had to.Ip man also politically asked bruce to leave his dojo, but sent him to train with his #1 desciple.....look at images of Bruce hand to hand with IP man....the joy and smile on ip mans face is pure love. He knew his Wing Chun would live on thru Lee.

There are a couple of inaccuracies in this video

From what I saw there wasn't really much of stepping off the centerline in the video, so you leave your head exposed to attacks including if you're using both hands at once, you're also assuming your opponent is only throwing straight punches, martial arts history lesson, a lot of martial arts were designed to only take on the same style. In real life, if the average person tries to swat punches away what's going to end up most likely happening is you're going to get speared or tackled to the ground, then you're going to get ground and pounded or punched to a knockout. Royce Gracie took the world by storm because he incorporated something new just like Muay Thai and their devastating lower kicks. Also, they are trained to guard the side of their head with one hand as the other hand is giving the blow. Muay Thai Wins! I'm not at all stating both Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do are useless but as for practical against a fully resisting opponent who has steroid aggression and is about to beat your face in and or is about to stab you to death I just don't see either one being superior between the two just my opinion though.

damn should've been my black belt by now in taekwondo if it wasnt for covid

Uschu Win Tschun und Jeet Kun Do gut Sport .

people who don't do martial arts explaining them to people who don't do martial arts....

hm Wing Chun isn't Characterized by blocks at all, because Wing Chun doesn't use a single block at all. Wing Chun use ONLY counterattacks instead of blocks. I learn Wing Chun for 7 years and i honestly never heard that any Wing Chun user, is using "blocks". The difference between blocks and wing chun counterattacks is simple. Blocks are made to stop an attack by blocking it with a Bodypart, against a Bodypart. like "| = block" "< = attack" "|

may i quote Sifu Ip Chun , if it comes from the fist its WingChun.....

Again most people misinterpret wing chun they think because your are hitting so fast you are sacrificing power and that is not the case it’s not built off of just speed and actually bruce got hos one inch punch from wing chun not jeet June do as the one inch punch shows you the power in the smallest movement of wing chun and he knew about the one inch punch before he switched

Jeet kun do

sacrifice speed for power? or power for speed? thats not the reality. a relaxed body creates more speed, your ability to manipulate chi is what gives you power. its not a trade-off, they hold hands

Ok why is that guy posing as me I’m the only Bruce Lee * one shots the Bruce Lee knock-off with the six inch punch sending him flying off screen * WWOOTAAAH!

I'm here because of the Webtoon "Lookism"

Yeah it's my belief that Bruce Lee talked about is Jake window it was the most direct attack and the most fluent as in natural movement when he's talking about water he's talking about being formless and in this video it's really it's like you're comparing the wings are chunk what is it the Chung Wang style daughter barely defeating your opponent that's a style that's and Bruce Lee's equinox was wasn't an art form it was formless the strikes and that that he taught were just to help you to create your philosophy and how you move so Bruce Lee doesn't doesn't have a form really he has a he has philosophy that's what it is and as the kicks I think he only kicked below the waist until he did that movie with Chuck Norris the one where they're in the Roman coliseum then after that he started kicking above the waist I do believe but yeah I just thought I'd mention that that this video is a comparison of forms and Bruce Lee doesn't have a form you like water before be formless most natural and direct attack is the fastest not speed even he's just not he condolence not just on power he's on speed as well and that's from you know his teacher or whatever the philosophy that was right when he was young right when he started after you got beat up in that street fight.

jeet kune do was never meant to be a martial art. It was a proto form of MMA.

The poins is nothing can do jet kune do if no have basic wing chun

power full is wing chun....master ip traininged to brus lee.. master ip is so fast.......

Muay tai vs wing chun please.

If Bruce Lee and IP Man sparred today. IP Man would destroy Bruce Lee for the simple fact that he was the Grand Master Chinese Gung FU organization at the time of Bruce's rising in Hollywood and around the world.

He was taught in HK not China

you do know bruce lee did wing chun and respected it he added it to jeet kon do so it is not fair

I just want to throw some fact into this one of Ip Man students name Hoàng Thuần Lương(VietNamese styles of his name) he beat Bruce Lee by using Wint Chun and he is a skilled Boxer he only retired because he accidentally kill a eye of his training opponents soo if Ip Man vs Bruce Lee while both as they prime Ip Man would win considering he could beat his student Lương even after Lương is fully trained this is my theory

They are useless if the person doesn't apply true intent in fighting, all these people sparing only do the moves but train to restrain their moves in order to not hurt their sparring partner, this put them at risk to do the same against a real opponent as it will become an automatic response. In truth, none of them has shown any practical use in mix martial fighting because of this and also because simpler boxing styles can just do the same and are less complex to use and learn. As they pointed out, speed doesn't cut it if there are no real connecting punches... I will wager for any average boxer against any master of this two martial art.

Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do, deadliest of enemies. Put slaves under my power.
