- Was Bruce Lee fast?
That’s like asking if the Avengers franchise made any money.
Or if the sun is hot.
Anyway, with all the bickering and disagreement in the JKD/Wing Chun world, one thing everyone can agree on was that Lee was exceptionally quick. He was so fast, in fact, that it seems hard to imagine him being so popular without all that speed. But, more to our point, the very system of JKD is built on - and absolutely requires - a fair degree of speed. I’ve said before that the system is built around the stop-hit, which is to say, counter-attacking, and you can’t do that if you’re too slow. That would be like an ugly model, or a clumsy dancer…or an honest politician. Slow JKD is a contradiction in terms.
Now, you might think that speed is an essential quality in any fighting art but that’s actually not true. Speed will help, of course, but it’s far from the dominant attribute of, say, BJJ. JKD, on the other hand, rests upon the foundation of quickness and without it the whole structure comes tumbling down.
But what kind of speed are we talking about here? And how do we train for it?
First, we must have the right technical/tactical structure of the ready position, footwork, and straight, non-telegraphic strikes - preferably from the forward side. Each of these three technical points integrate without contradiction into the tactical framework of what JKD aspires to do - stop-hit the bad guy! Lee was obviously gifted with good genes for movement speed, but he understood how important it was to not waste movement and/or have a bad plan of attack.
If there was a secret to the whole thing it was Lee’s understanding of the importance of foot-speed. Most people treat footwork like an afterthought. In JKD, it’s the central thing. Always. Fighting is about moving and distance control. The man that controls the distance controls the fight. This being the case, he worked assiduously on foot-speed both in technique training (footwork) and physical conditioning. He favored footwork that was cat-like and efficient. And by all accounts, Lee didn’t jog - he ran! Fast. Like he was getting shot at. Up hills. And he rode a stationary bike full speed too - with the resistance as high as it would go. Oh, and you may have seen photos of him on a trampoline. He used that for more power and explosiveness. All of this translated into an amazing level of movement speed. Thus, the first big secret to his speed was in his legs.
You see, Lee knew something about fighting that most people simply ignore: good footwork can and will beat every attack. It’s a basic but painfully true fact that if you can cover ground faster than your opponent, you have a significant advantage. And this was Lee’s goal with all of that conditioning. In JKD, we preach the “four hits” - hit first, hit straight, hit hard, hit often. Without foot-speed, you aren’t going to hit first because you’re at the mercy of the other guy’s movement. Being first is the heart and soul of JKD philosophy and training because action is always faster than reaction.

This guy has an amazing charisma, thank you for making it fun !
I love him too but I can see that he (is?) was a heavy drinkier, alholist or mayby even drugaddict, his face tell me that, but it thasent mean that he is not a good Jeet Kunne do practicioner,. I like his style, he is very likeable and impressive. That what irritaining me is that 90% of martial arts teachers have in their videos Young boys... or much weaker physically opponents, so they would kickck their ass even without any martial art knowledge. Martial art should give us upper hand against stronger opponents, bigger, then its more intresting becouse Im not scared of Young boys or men that are smaller and weaker than me, Im scared of scary guys, you know how they look..., hehe.
Hey, not JUST dudes are watching these videos...haha ;D
Amy Hall ha! Ok. Ok. New jokes then. And crap...I think I left the toilet seat up too...🤓
@David Carter thats generally the result of conditioning not to hit a woman under any circumstances causing that
Amy, everyone knows the women on the internet are men and the children are law enforcement ;)
This guy is a serious dude....
I'm loving catching up on all your work you've put out over the last 3 x years during my hiatus
Glad to have you here!!
Every video of yours is deep n so helpful .. Thanks Sifu..
Very down to earth and practical......Namaste!!
Subbed and liked because they’re very informative tips and your charismatic personality makes it that much better to watch well done 😁
I am glad I found your channel,you remind me of my sifu who passed a couple of years ago and was the teacher of jkd,kali,wing chin in little rock
Michael Black sorry to hear about his passing - and humbled to be of service. Thanks for watching and best of luck to you.
That rear hand parry is so quick. I really like it !!! It is like a windscreen wiper!!! I just realised I don't parry after my lead !!!!!
Great stuff…Sifu. Those hands 🙌 scream of a boxing hands 🙌 amazing 🤩
Thanks from Texas
Great Man 😎
Good instructions. Good points also
very and much inteligency in you explanation, much real you porsition for one combat. nice bro
Jeet Kune Do - Cáceres thanks for the input and for watching.
Dass ist echt gute Arbeit und korrekt gemacht, viel mehr als einer Seminar- Bravo, 👍👍👍.
Valon Bytyci many thanks! 🙏
Very good advice (as always ).
For back fist it can be beneficial to practice with a yellow resistant tube .
Because it is the lightest, you do not even have to warm up - 20 min will do the trick.
Fix it safely around a smooth pole somewhere, use left and right hand and go as fast as you can , keeping it spontaneous. Have fun !
Sifu I can't tell you how many times I have heard an instructor say in classes "you're not as fast as Bruce Lee so you have to compensate for speed"
Okay, okay, I'll subscribe, you deserve it. :D
Oh, and greetings from Lithuania. :)
Klaudijus Daugela Fantastic! Thanks for watching.
@Tango Zulu Sveikas!
You seem like a great teacher. I would love to learn form you. I think we'd really get along. But I don't live in the US lol.
Very educational video! I appreciate the energy you brought and the tips you gave.
I have never liked any Jeet kune do instructors till now I would love to come to your academy I have a little skills
gods I wish you guys were out here in CA
Love your videos, will you be making DVDs?
26viewer as a matter of fact, we’ve got some online courses coming soon. Any day now, in fact - so stay tuned and thanks for watching.
Amazing how many variations you can drill with just a straight lead punch!!! Your hand speed Sifu with your straight punch reminds me of Ali !!! Ali didn't have as strong a Jab as Listan but he could just keep popping him in the head!!! Listan was amazing! Once his left got you it was like radar tracking for his powerful right or even worse his left hook !!!! Do you use your lead at all like Listan Sifu?
👍👍👍👍👍
Great tip and drills coach...I’m gonna call you coach. Subscribed...
I really wish I lived close to your academy 😋
I love the sarcasm 😂😂😂😂
Another great video! I like that parry after the punch. Very efficent!
How long have you been teaching Sifu?
This is gonna date me real bad...but I first started teaching on my own in February 1991. 😎
@@JKDandWingChun Sifu!!!!
@@JKDandWingChun I am looking at your materials and am still not sure what to get to restart my training.... Any recommendations?
As a southpaw who has spent a lifetime believing that I'm better served leading with my right hand, JKD would feel incredibly awkward for the first ten or so years ;)
Great teacher. Practical. I study Goju and you add so much. But how can i train without a partner? Thank you.
👍🏻
When you need to punch, punch not think.
You gotta stop putting that "bad day" juju out there. I watched a ton of your videos last night and liked them, but I didn't subscribe. No lie, 100% the truth, my car died on the way to work. I am subscribing, but not because I am worried about another bad day. You have great information you share, and I aim to consume more.
I just don't even. There are a few things you say in this video just make me go what? I mean I get you are making jokes at the beginning, but even commenting you are assuming only guys are watching your video? I mean ok I'll ignore that but then the comparison to someone with cancer a doctor shooting you is a bit extreme. I understand your point but I would of used a scenario like someone carrying something and the person saying it's too heavy so to help they add more weight. Regardless...
After watching your videos in my opinion you have to be one of the more knowledge people on youtube when it comes to JKD. Not only do you seem to actually fully grasp the concepts but I've seen you apply and use them in your videos too. I actually wish I lived near you because I would so come to your class. Occasional comments aside I really like your videos, these are amazing, thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.
super! thanks a lot
Leszek Parczyk glad to help.
Hi im from england i like your videos the problem i have is my work i can't get to the wing chung classes we have here in town and can't get a partner to practice the moves what can i do do i just keep practicing the moves I'm doing thanks
Dude you could also have a career in comedy!
Sifu Jason,
Another great video 🤗 it's always great to learn from you. You are an inspiration.
One question sir, Do I have to retract my straight lead with a cracking or whipping motion? I guess it makes the recovery faster. Your comments sir.
Sanki Shubhank whip it! That’s the key. If you’re snapping your shots like that, retraction is easy.
Hi sir?just want to ask about the jkd stance..Is it really important to forward my right foot and improve there or improve my natural stance which is left stance?
Joreki JeetkuneDo This is a great question - and my answer is a minority opinion. I actually think that being “conventional”, that is, weak side forward is acceptable. The power side forward is preferable in JKD since the leading hand and foot do so much of the striking. That’s the optimal setup. But we don’t live in an optimal world and many things factor in that might alter one’s preference - especially injury or previous training. Those that rail against this opinion must consider that Driscoll and Dempsey, two huge influences on Lee, both fought with their weak sides forward. Those two men were extraordinary champions, so we can’t dismiss their body of work out of hand. At any rate, if you can’t get your power side forward to work for whatever reason, it’s not a sin to use the other side. 😎. That’s a decision the individual has to make because it’s the individual that has to fight. The style won’t fight for us.
Thanks for video
Q) Am I going to lose speed if I lift weights
Bill Atl
Haha, I'm female... Even when fighting guys, if you train with somebody faster... Your also going to learn how to be faster; or you will get hit, and learn how not to get hit.
Some people don't believe their fighters should ever get hit... But war and cage fighting is different, if you don't learn what a punch feels like when you get in a cage fight, you will panic. Hence, either push through it... or go to beginner, intermediate, advanced and fighter training.
War means if your the slower fighter you die, but even in war, strategy is used: hence in a cage: that is the job of the coach, to over come the strengths of your opponent.
How do you throw an over hand punch how do you block over hand punches . how to you dodge over hand punches
That’s a good video topic. We’ll put that on the list for you. Thanks so much for the input.
Any suggestions on speed training when you are by yourself?
William Prevost one of the best things to do is shadow boxing that gets you mobile and loose. I know it sounds easy but it’s a really neglected part of training. Plus, it’s a great workout. We should probably do a video on that actually. 🤔
anyone see randy the guy holding the pads look like why are u punching the pads so hard lol or he dont want to be there lol
So, Timing will always beat speed.
Is one day a week sufficient for learning Wing Chun ? Class runs for 2 hours ... I'm at a crossroad between Muay Thai or Wing Chun for the same price I get 4 days of Muay Thai . You seem honest to ask you
Be water.
Why is your handle lowered before striking the pad ??
I see
Eliminate the inessential. Avoid flowery motions that compromise efficiency, attain fluidity in mobility and economy in execution of techniques.
Funny how people are starting to use the smap pads, since they ara aware that Tommy are using them. Before that everybody used that huge over sized and over padded mitts.
hi ther this is one of the things ive come across one time some one took our keys and we wrer mad at them all we wanted to do was drive home yer we were parting but to be at the party was the wrong place to be standing buy my car they would not give the keys i wantedto get away from them an didt want them driving my car the last time they sed no to giving the keys i switch jabed thrugh my window breaking my car seat like i was mad but ther was no wined up mabe the speed did it that punch was for the people trying to keep my car that night i realy like to know how hard i had to hit that window an what that do to a person honda prelude 91 or something i dont fight but get jumped buy punks alot could i kill them or is it safe to smack people messing with me ill smack people steping if its safe only dun it to big guys
If you had to be a fast as Bruce Lee to do JKD, nobody would do JKD.

Bruce lee was insanely fast. His speed was his best weapon. One problem with relying on speed is that it is extremely tiring. Of course if you connect with enough punches then it doesn't matter because the other guy will be unconscious. So in a street fight speed will be your friend. What if your opponent is clearly faster than you are, then you need another thing to rely on, right? Power? Is speed the same as power? I mean is the faster guy automatically more powerful? I wonder about that. If you consider physics then power is a combination of speed and force. Force being the weight behind the punch. If you punch at the speed of sound but your punch is the weight of a feather, then it will not be effective. Is that a valid statement?. I guess it is partly true. There is also focus. I mean, imagine if you could hit accurately with your index finger then all the force of the hit would be at one very small point instead of the usual thing where it is spread over the area of a fist. Of course your fingers are not strong, so you would end up with broken fingers and a lot of pain. I am just trying to analyze the effectiveness of punches and what works best. Is it power or something else. Obviously accuracy is vital. So you need power and accuracy and that's it. Oh yeah there is also choosing your target. A punch is not effective anywhere on the body that you strike. So you need power, accuracy, and knowledge of effective places on the body to hit. Wow, that's a lot to be good at. Is there a way to get rid of an attacker without relying on punching? I think that would be great because it might reduce the variables and not require tons of training to really be effective to avoid being hurt in an attack. So the decision is do we want to out hit an attacker with better punches or do we just want to stop the attack somehow or get away from it or stop the guy. If the guy is bigger and stronger and faster, you are in huge trouble if you go for the punch back method. So how can we reduce damage considerably no matter how many physical advantages the attacker has on us? Do we meet punches with our own punches, or is there a better alternative? I think there is.
No, nothing bad will happen to me--in the name of Yeshua the Messiah. But I did hit the like button and am subscribed, regardless.
I will be 75 Saturday so getting up on my toes jumping around isn't in the cards
I am 70 and I can jump around. Why, because I do it every day. If you have only excuses like your age, then you will never be good at anything. Just do your best and train as much as your body can handle. Too much is as bad as too little so take it easy. Stretching is vital, as well as good diet and stamina. Go see a good doctor to find out if you have any health issues to limit your training. And mist importantly, be a good person, help others, and avoid show offs. Live your life in harmony with the planet. You do not have to do what everyone else does. Avoid trendiness. Don't be like a sheep. Do what feels right, not what everyone is doing these days. Last thing, have as much fun as possible. What good is life without fun.
Fast me kr kr dekha n bhhtttt bkwass
