The best Sensei I’ve ever had the honor to meet and train with Ron Balicki. Congratulations!!!
Nothing works and everything works. It's not what you train but how you train.
Guro Ron is one of the best instructors out there. So knowledgeable and so giving. Great video Ed.
Reactive trapping is what may/may not work, proactive tapping does work.
thats an interesting statement, may you please expand on how you view the difference between reactive vs proactive trapping, in your view?
keen to understand the difference, thanks in advance.
@@evanmurphy4632 there is an example in the video you touch/trap then strike making them react. Reaction is always slower than action so trying to trap when being punched at is a loosing battle. At least that's how I always used it. You can reacting trap if you can make someone strike way out of range, but within boxing range it's a speed game. Does that make sense?
@@SwordFighterPKN people don't understand geometry
Hell yeah, the great Ron Balicki! Student of Larry, Inosanto and Mr. Seagal himself. Big respects.
Great video, Ron is an A class guy and world class martial artist
The story about the pins is really interesting. Great way to track not only your students progress but your teaching.
Years ago I did seminars with Ron out in north Chicago area. NICE guy!!!! I did JKD for years but got out in 2008. Good times. Glad to see things still marching forward:)!
Sweet!!
He is a good man, thank you.
My guy my instructor through Internet, great teacher, very intuitive. Hope to meet with you & Diana one day!
You should meet them - they're fantastic!
Great video! Ron is spot on; simplified hand trapping does work. Many high-level boxers, kickboxers and MMA fighters are/were known to use it successfully, including Rob Kaman, Anderson Silva, Kamaru Usman, Lomachenko and George Kambosos. The top boxing prospect Efe Ajagba also recently employed trapping in his knockout victory over Brian Howard. He used a straight one-two hand immobilization combination to end the fight.
I met Ron years ago along with Diana in Mexico City, that thing he said about looking to someone (me) doing something kind of different ("doing there own JKD" (i hope...) is exactly what happened. He shared his ideas, and let creativity flow with great attitude, it was a great experience. Good video!!
That's awesome! Ron is awesome.
It's good seeing ron. and thanks for uploading this video.
I m from PFS JKD and I totally agree with your opinion.
BTW trapping is just hard to make it work if you have lack of drilling practice
also in order to make trapping work you need to spur a lot to learn timing I think.
Moreover It's very important to have your grappling & BJJ skills for your plan B,
which is when your trapping didn't work and become clinching.
People should just go to train their skill instead of talk shit about others.😂
I find trapping works best in a "ground n pound" scenario. Just my experience.
My instructor was a student of Larry Hartsell and Paul V. My years of training under him and as great. My instructor also worked on the grappling portion and had grappling instructors in to work with us. The man absolutely never stopped learning new things and challenging us.
The class notes and maps are such great ideas for a school owner
im very happy to have experienced whatever amount of jkd i did i want more but what i have im happy with
Criticize? I've only done JKD for a few months, I have nothing to criticize about, your stuff is awesome.
Thank you for sharing ☺️.
JKD was never supposed to a SYSTEM. It's always been a concept and tool box for attributes ...always think HIT..
Yeah more of a guiding idea towards fighting, take what's useful from everything. It was meant to evolve, but since Bruce Lee died so young his teachings became dogma for his wanting students. They completely missed the point. JKD is a philosophy towards fighting to forever learn martial arts and to accept what is useful. Bruce Lee never understood rigid beliefs and unwillingness of the older teachers to accept new ways. So anyone's JKD can be completely different. I feel these dojos/gyms that have become very accepting of cross training are what Bruce Lee intended for all along. Just learn and spread knowledge of martial arts.
That's interesting, though quite wrong. I think the best advice is from the late Sifu Larry Hartsell: shut up and train.
@@justacontrarian training on it's own if done poorly gives you nothing..hitting is an art in itself. The body is a funny feel it's not like a bag. Energy is absorbed by the body .just hit the and dont fuss. Why do you think street fighter's win ... they just hit the guy..
@@robertmedsker5305 whatever you say...
The straight 1-2 is probably the most effective combination in striking - but nobody can make it work if they don’t train it. Expand that out - I agree with Sifu Ron - you can make anything work if you work your ass off on it
Ooh I’m gonna steal that logbook
Always the best seminars. Great instructor.
My friend used to say "If you don't train this way, then you definitely won't fight this way" !
Practice your traps and blocks!
Great video but now do you have any idea how paranoid I'm going to be knowing that Guro Inosanto is probably keeping notes on me lol
An awesome channel and have been following Sifu/Guro Ron for years. Keep up the great 👍 work
Great to hear Ron's experience and insights.
Guro Balicki is an absolute legend! Loved his seminars here in Colorado with Sifu Troy Miller and the MARs group. Definitely a big inspiration for me along with Sifu Vunak and Guro Inosanto of course. Awesome video brutha!
This is a excellent video, especially your conversation with MR Ron Balicki , which to my assessment is a very knowledgeable "individual" excellent plethora of information packed in this video❗ thanks for sharing big like on the video 🙏🏻
Awesome!
Great Video. Thank you for expressing that it’s really all on what you believe will or will not work. It’s your art / style at the end of the day and how you train it and put it to the test is all on YOU 🙏
4:07 I agree with Sifu Ron wholeheartedly
I mostly just love your attitude. I'm glad Icy Mike got you in so I could find your page. Your content is awesome.
Thank you!!
Great video 🙏👊
I find it funny that the Gedan Barai is so widely known as a block. I'm not a karateka myself, but I see this as pretty obvious given that its name means "thigh sweep", it's not supposed to be a low block. In judo there's a technique called sukui name, which I think is very similar to the actual application of the Gedan Barai, difference being that sukui nage involves picking up the opponent's ankle whereas Gedan Barai is a simple sweep, just like Ashi Barai (foot sweep) is.
It doesn't mean, however, that you can't use this movement as a block. If it works, it works.
I hate how so many jdk practitioners are so attached to the bruce lee idea that the don't realize that bruce lee would be super disappointed if he came back to life to see that his martial art has failed to grow, change or adapt. The whole point of jkd was to change and adapt wing chun...keep that tradition
Agreed. I've always said, that if Bruce were alive today, his version of JKD would be very different from the one he had when he passed away anyways. The man was always learning new things and incorporating them into his personal style. The essence of JKD. So why get so bogged down by trying to emulate the style of a man who died when he was in his early 30s and had only just started to become what he was going to be, especially when he flat out says "Don't do that!" (and don't get me wrong, he accomplished a helluva lot for such a young man, just imagine where he'd be today at around....what...80 or so?)
You can learn from his teachings, just like you can learn from any instructor's/masters/professor's teachings, but you shouldn't be restricted by them. You can and should experiment and go your own way. Pull from as many sources as you can get access too. Make your OWN personal style, not Jun Fan JKD (although if you have no experience, then doing JF JKD can be a good place to start....just don't get locked into it as "the way")
Great video
Thank you!!
@@metrolinamartialarts ur welcome bro
Bien dit
Bro, do you have a video or can you make one on HOW do you actually get certified as a JKD instructor, how much does it cost, how long does it take, etc. You became my primary source on JKD, so I'm bound to ask these questions! Cheers from Macedonia!
It took me about 9 years of training, I was with Sifu Ron for most of that. His website marsonline.ronbalicki.com is your best bet.
6:08 exactly
9:50 he’s so smart wow
Axel Stone taught him everything he knows.
Didn't know you make it out to Central TX? Hit me up if you're in the San Antonio area, I'd love to take you by the schools/gyms around here.
Dang i was too early, i keep reloading the page but can't find comments.
Anyways, are you by any chance a Daotist/Taotist? Or is that shirt just for the Martial art fashion (lol)?
Btw, maybe seminars messing with techniques, drills and stuff in general is what to happens to Krab Maga?
8:39 In the PING CHOY GUA CHOY what we’re doing is drawing our opponents. But if you make that JUNG DA a real hit n he don’t block? Why feint? See my point? You should try to land something considerable and if he doesn’t reach down he gets hit.
Hi Ed, could you maybe do one of your video reacts to the combos presented in the video game Sifu? From what I understand its based on Bak Mei, but it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on it.
Thanks
Hey wasn't that studio on The Modern Rogue recently?
It was!
If they don't block, then hit.
Lets not pretend ...JKD isn't really a martial art, it's a martial arts discussion group. 80% of the practice is talking martial arts interspersed with bruce lee quotes and historical fandom. there is more JKD done in the comments section of youtube channels rather than in a cage, ring, mat or the most hallowed ground "the street". As it is I'm doing lots of JKD here in the comments section like this video and it seems to appeal to people who want martial arts to be a university subject with lectures, seminars, conferences and dissertations.
And remember "absorb what is useful, discard what is not". Dr Sifu Mike JKD Ma BBMa BSc MA Phil
Facts lol
I find any seminars over 30 students are a major cash grab the time spent with the instructor is usually minimal
Give too much away and there nothing left
"traditional jeet kune do" is an oxymoron
Is it?
