Generally, if you are t gagging on it and it isn’t rubbing into your jaw or cheek, then it’s ok. If it is, you can trim it (just a little at a time!!) with some scissors. You might need to put it in hot water again just to smooth out rough edges. It’s why I recommend two, so if you mess up one you have another ready to work on right away. All else fails, go see your dentist.

Please explain what you think is "unwise". I'm kinda curious.

I always love when nobody's share their opinion. #keyboardwarrior

This is a common arguement used by many. I would put out there for consideration the following items. I know more than a few "certified" instructors in JKD and other arts who aren't very skilled in martial arts or teaching. A lot of successful ones are great at teaching but not so great at the martial arts part. Bruce Lee died at a very young age. Skill and knowledge are not directly tied to a "certification" to teach. I would suggest "publicly acknowleded as instructors" instead of certified. Most of the first generation people refer to what they got as individuals from Bruce. That is what they share. It has just fallen under the umbrella of "Jeet Kune Do". Lastly, what a waste it would be if we ignored the knowledge of all the others just because they had hours and hours of training alongside the "certified" people but no piece of paper.

@@evolutionJKD Fair enough, I was just bringing up the "Certified by Bruce Lee" because I thought it was relevant to the lineage you were speaking of. Wasn't a knock to the ones he trained and didn't certify but there was always that misconception rather than argument about it. I got to train in JKD for a few months in Ottawa, Canada and had to stop due to personal reasons and now I can only learn on UA-cam and its great you can clarify or educate me better so at the end of the day I can hack away at the inessentials. Thank you Sir

I would encourage you to explore movement and how it can be used. Does it make you a better person? Decrease stress and increase fitness? Does it help you understand how to better apply yourself to a combative situation? I'm way overdue to post something. Anything you'd like to see in a video? Who did you train with in Ottawa? I know some good JKD people in Ottawa.

Both are second generation full instructors under Jerry Poteet like me. Both are great guys. I've moved with both of them. Tav more than Eric. The three of us demostrate a vaste difference of what can be taken away from an individual. There are a lot of things that are similar between us, but there is a big differnece in how we express that information.

Did you train with someone or just online? And if you're going to train online, why not watch some of my other videos. Have you checked out any of my other videos? What about my online course through teachable? Chris is solid. I'm not a big fan of Tim or Ted, but it would be better to train with someone qualified from their lineage. They would be far better than a book.

I agree! Find a school with someone you like who is competent. Then get to learning!!

I address this in the video. He was a private student. Give another watch. Or a first watch.

What exactly do you think I am "wrong" about? Your comment doesn't fit very well with this video. Did you just read the title and make a comment? If you're going to share an opinion, then at least watch the video first so you can speak to the actual content.

Thanks Jim! Just thoughts.

It should work. A quick check on the instructions will let you know.

Hi there. No, I don't think you can "master" any martial art from videos. I do think they are a great reference. If you don't have anyone to train with or are looking to explore other options, then I think they are super worth it. It's also a fantastic way to see a different point of view. I have an instructional video that is great for someone like you. It won't make you be a master, but it will give you incredible insight on JKD movement and help you explore the movements. There is quite a lot packed into the each section. If you haven't already, look at the Whiteboard videos. There is a discount in the description!! Here's the first one. ua-cam.com/video/nf4FuGy70fc/v-deo.html

Bruce had a limited grappling background. My understanding is that he left a great deal of that exploration to Larry Hartsell. What I've seen of that is more just basic grappling. I don't consider that a good representation of how to apply the stand up JKD to a grappling environment. This is something, as a wrestler, that I worked on with Jerry Poteet and have continued to expand upon over the past decade or so. Everything that is done from standing should be applied on the ground. My school is named "Evolution" for a reason. We should be building upon what we inherited from others. So many don't. Like you said, Bruce died way to early and we lost so much of what he could have contributed. That leaves it to us to take up what he did forge and take it further. Then pass that on to another generation to take it even further. It should be that future generations are stronger than the generation before, but sadly this is rarely the case amongst JKD people.

When you don't bother to watch the video. I literally explain this in the video. Go to ua-cam.com/video/W0fPNkR7k2g/v-deo.htmlsi=Llwy9YA1F2G-onf2&t=104 Would also love to see your videos..... Who are you? You're about as Keyboard Warrior as can be right now.

Thanks! Keep an eye out for more!

That’s never a good thing! Sorry to hear you had that experience. There are many wonderful teachers out there sharing their knowledge in a positive way.

You would apply the strategy of PIA to an initial movement. That is assuming you are able to square off against an opponent. Progressive Indirect Attack (PIA) is a strategy that is applied to draw out an opponent's counter, whether that is defensive or offensive. It is an advanced strategy to create an opening against an opponent. After scoring a hit then you straight blast. I had to look up Paul's RAT program. Paul uses a "straight blast" as a transition from what I can see. Then goes into a big finish move. There is no power in his straight blast. Looks more like a distraction to close distance. Learn to do straight blast properly.

👍👍👍

Glad you enjoyed it!

That’s why I saw get two of them when you’re starting out. If you don’t know what you’re doing, then you are going to make mistakes. You can remold most of them, but if you cut it too much or boil it too long, that’s a teaching moment.

Progressive Indirect Attack is an attack by draw. New whiteboard video coming up soon that takes you through PIA!

No they don't. Most people are far less efficient with their punches. You, at least, are two steps ahead of them by watching my channel.

My understanding and ability to grapple helps considerably, but this is actually about striking to counter a grappler. So, if you can't understand what is being presented in a Short, then you should either gain more knowledge or look at what else is being shown before making a comment. And be respectful. Whether you were in a wrestling room, on a BJJ mat, in a ring, or in a martial arts school...that kind of lip would get you wrecked.

@@evolutionJKD you are right in me showing very little respect. i truly am sorry. i apologize, i just couldnt help myself in the moment i saw the video. but im a bjj black belt, and when i see someone who very obviously doesnt know how to grapple very well start teaching things on the ground, i cant help but make fun of it. its just a silly 'technique' that will get yourself or those who would try it in an actual,, live situation 'wrecked' as you call it. im sure you know a lot of things about striking and standing and fighting in general, but this move is just stupid.

ESPECIALLY, when you use a bjj term as 'mount' making poeple think you know what youre talking about it. youre just inviting people to make fun of you

When looking at pretty much any of the "drilling" done in BJJ, you could say the same things. You seem to be applying a full speed, full intensity mindset to something that is quite obviously a drill. You're also not looking at the video with any sense of discovering something or expanding your knowledge base. Maybe it's just a deficiency in your training that you've never been hit by someone who can generate power in close quarters. They aren't normally found in sport, so it's understandable. BJJ black belt? So what? I know plenty of people who are BJJ black belts. Kind of a thing when you train for over a decade in Los Angeles. I am curious about who your coach is and who you gave you your black belt. You listed on a school page somewhere? When did you start training? I'm pretty easy to look up.

im not sure i get your point. im just saying the 'technique' is quite useless. basically, youre opening up your elbows which is the opposite of what you wanna do, if you wanna escape mount. so immediately youre teaching the opposite of the basics which is quite odd imo

Glad you liked it!

@@evolutionJKD yes sir yes sir. ☺️💯

Will do!!

This is about those teaching. The pool of “instructors” in the JKD world has a greatly diminished skill level. I speak to that and why. My opinion. Putting it in other terms. It’s like having someone stop at Brown belt (or even Blue belt) but then claim to be a Shihan and say they can promote you all the way up to 4th degree black belt! Just curious if you have trained with or follow any JKD people, or if you are basing this on your experience in another martial art?

This is just a quick clip of progressions we worked in class. It’s to help you practice timing your take down against a punch. Great for beginners to explore the timing and what it feels like to miss!

100% agree that it will look different from person to person. However, it should still be efficient and powerful and applicable against other skilled martial artists. Differences should be right or left lead, choice of striking point, preferred target area, etc. Ultimately, all martial arts should lead to the same place. JKD was just Bruce’s training manual to get there.

There's a few levels to this. Firstly, there is plenty on my channel if you know a bit about martial arts. To be fair, I haven't posted anything in direct response to Wong, because...well, he's not very good. But you do bring up a very important perspective that is often overlooked by people like me. We don't always present out information in a way for the inexperienced to understand. There is a video of Wong's that showed "self defense" that really made me cringe. Perhaps I can do a comparison between what he "demonstrates" and what I would do instead. Keep in mind that what I would show would come from my experience running security teams in Hollywood, while Wong's stuff looks more like it came from a Hollywood movie set.

🤷🏼‍♂️

....yeah. It's called an educated observation. I don't take offense, because you clearly aren't capable of understanding movement or just didn't bother to find out who I am. Either way, it's not a big deal to me. If you want to go fanboy someone, then do so. I'm more interested in people wanting to learn legitimate martial arts. And then do so to a higher level. Kind of thing that martial artists do.

My suggestion is to really focus on the boxing first. Then we you are at a competent level, begin training with a good instructor. JKD is a refinement of martial skill. I do know someone who did this with kickboxing and did extremely well on an international level! The JKD approach to kickboxing gave them an edge.

Some of my students have used the flavored ones. Directions should be the same, but be sure to read them for your specific mouthguard. I like to put it in before softening it just to get an idea of how much I can let it shrink. You can go too far! I'd suggest doing it a few times to get the best fit.

@@evolutionJKD thanks for your answer

Again…..it literally says JKD in the video presented. He still has JKD videos posted, but don’t waste time watching them. Unless you just watch it for comedy.

You can find them in the athletic section of most box stores like Walmart or Target. A sports store will definitely have them. Ask an employee. Shouldn’t be that expensive. If you’re going to spend big money, you might as well go to your dentist.

I totally agree!! If you can avoid a fight, then you won that fight!!
