Kevin seems like a great representative of what a Jeet Kune Do practitioner is supposed to be. Not someone who tries to imitate Bruce Lee in their style, but someone who composes their own art after an extensive exploration of tested styles. The techniques that Bruce Lee personally found effective may be a useful guideline, but so could the techniques of any other capable martial artist.
Technically modern mma is jeet kune do
Yes and no. The thing with MMA is that it seeks to conform to the rules of MMA competitions like the UFC, etc.
JKD is not a martial art, it is a philosophy, where the maxim of not having limits of any kind prevails.
@@ronmka8931 I think it makes sense to think of MMA as basically the sport version of jeet kune do. If you want to practice for self defense, military survival, etc. you should probably still incorporate MMA style sparring into your training, but you'd have different emphases in your training than a pro fighter, because you're preparing for the possibility of using your skills in different contexts.
Historical martial arts involved overlapping but distinct skills and equipment for self defense, battlefield combat and dueling. MMA is basically dueling-focused unarmed martial arts.
That's called being an MMA practitioner. MMA is what JKD always wished it could be no offence
Not really. Mma is a sport
Kevin looks like he'd be really fun to spar against
Could have used his help when I was raped
yeah he is!!
Not for me. He'd OWN my ass!
@@AntonAdelson That's half the fun!
Yes he is.
You make everything look easy bro! 😎😎 This is by far my favorites sparring session. Let’s do this again!!
Nice kickin display . But would have been more solid giving experience in working hour format, even giving account of contemplation this is done.
dang! he said favorite by far!
cant wait til the next time!
His reach is not as much a jeffs but still kicks near him
@kevinleeVlog @mmaShredded love you both..nice spar..
This is what martial arts should be at times. It's just fun, no ego, trying out techniques, improving and having fun 💪🥋👍
:))
His leg dexterity is incredible
yeah!!
Yeah, with practice and good timing those kicks would work in a MMA bout or the streets!!!!
@@MMAShredded ua-cam.com/video/hs3VmOqG40s/v-deo.html master kungfu Tong Bei Quan with Zhang Weili, Li Jingliang and Wang Hong Xiang (who TKO Joe Schilling)
Savate?
What about takedowns?
This is the kind of content we need. No demoralization and another "is this bullshido or not", but rather good community and love for the various style, because at the end of the day, the primary reason we should be training is for health and fun.
cheers!!
If you are stress testing your style against other fighters it can't be bullshido.
Looks like they are doing a fun sport
Jeff's example of the Wing Chun chain punch is exactly how it's supposed to be used. Overwhelming pressure. This was a great sparring session, guys. Thank you!
interesting how the only defence once the chain punch is unleashed is to run to break the distance. Jeff master's things in literally 10 mins ahhh!
@@RD-yv4cc or to just swing an overhand
there's a few different viable defenses to chain punches. Jeff has a huge advantage in height/arm length so he's able to apply it with less need for a window in kevin's defense. otherwise chain punching is most effective after trapping the opponents hands or somehow finding an opening in their defense. generally its very hard to just start throwing it out, especially at somewhat safe or neutral distances and get value out of it. kevin could use teeps for a range advantage to shut them down. side stepping can be very useful against chain punching. double leg take downs can be useful against chain punching but yeah sometimes the best we can figure out in the moment is to run away lol. I want to say in wing chun, you can try to use a tan sau to direct the chain punches upward and then get an effect sort of like a hand trap or maybe a legitimate hand trap and then slip under neath with a punch from your other arm to shut it down as well. Chain punches are very fun and can have a lot of value. I certainly love using them. but they're not a perfect move. they have weaknesses that can be exploited.
@@milos7315yes, a overhand punch works really well
thank you!!
This is by far my favorite sparring session. Makes the sport really seem fun, without ego or unneeded aggression. Im starting classes soon because of how youve explained the sport and making it more accessable for those who don't have mucn prior experience. Thanks for everything you do man! Hopefully ill be sparring you next year after im done with the chunin exams lol.
THIS! I would love to participate. I'm always having LOADS of fun and lots of laughter during sparring! 😁
thank you!!
This was probably the most fun sparring session you've posted. There were no egos involved & there were lots of laughs. Loved it. Glad you 2 collaborated
😀thanks !!!
Wtf? Never saw Kevin as a fighter like this. Always thought of him as just an martial artist. He really should put out his fighting side more, really underestimated the guy. Great video!
Would love to see Kevin, as a savate practicioner, talking about taekwondo and taido. If you're reading this, Kevin, please do videos about them.
Thank you! I do have plan to do a TKD and a Taido video! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
osssss
@@KevinLeeVlog thank you very much! Your kicking skills impressed me very very much
Kevin Lee for a Young Ip Man series? 😁
@@KevinLeeVlogHello. You will do better with taekwondo videos. Thank you for the video about savate. But. Unfortunately, it is clear that you were not engaged in savate. There are a lot of mistakes in kicking techniques and stylistics.
The fluidity of their sparring makes you think it's almost choreographed but they're both simply that good at transitioning from one opening to the next without losing momentum or compromising their balance!
Definitely amazing to watch and thank you both!
Kevin is such a fantastic ambassador for Martial Arts in general, as well as a fantastic model for the mindset to have for aspiring martial arts. Man is talented, technical, playful, and respectful as can be. I'm also a massive fan of yours as well Jeff, and I think this video really displayed how easily the bridge between traditional art mindsets and the more modern MMA mindsets can be connected. Absolutely lovely video Jeff
This feels like it was a great moment for friendship, technics, martial spirit and respect. This is what I wish every sparring would look like. Fun is the answer
:)
You guys had so much fun I was grinning myself. A great demo on how to spar fast, work on highly technical stuff and show off a bit, while also keeping it light and playful.
thank you!!
The best thing about Kevin’s wing chun is that he pressure tests it a lot, mixing it with MMA as well. That’s always a great plan
cheers!
Ah yea more of this “it’s a supplement at best”. Sounds like you still think it’s inferior.
Both awesome martial artists but yeah Kevin is definitely fluid in all disciplines and his kicking skills are elite.💯💪🇬🇧
cheers!
I found the video to be very fun and impressive to watch. You and Kevin showed off a wide range of great martial arts skill sets. At the same time the two of you didn't take yourselves too seriously. More importantly you and Kevin showed great control during the sparring session. I found it to be a reflection of the extensive experience both of you have as martial artists. The video was a fine clinic on how to spar. I look forward to watching more videos of you and Kevin sparring.
thanks for watching :))
You're welcome.
What an absolute privilege to be able to watch and learn from such masters !!!
thank you!!
A great video showing two people sharing their wealth of knowledge....
Kevin is such a cool dude.
he is!!
How did I miss this one? I've literally watched it four times today. Kevin has such a tremendous set of body mechanic skills. His balance is off the charts! Those kick transitions! his core is like an oak tree! Most of all, this one reminds us that the laughs, friendships and respect are as important as the rest of it. Great job gentlemen, this one is gold.
@nickyeng7444 Do you like reading books on martial art!😁
@jagger_claw Greetings! Yes! I love learning more. With a few short breaks here and there, I've been involved in various forms of MA my entire life. Favorite art - Judo! Most random art - Irish stick fighting. The most useful (new) book for me has been The Book of Martial Power by Pearlman. My main interest right now is hybrid systems. I'm still very much into the traditional approaches, philosophies, and theories. That's one of the reasons I like Kevin's work here. He is very MA smart, and that just makes everything better and more useful.
@@nickyeng7444I got a book that might interest you then! The book is by Jesse Glover who was a Judoka & also the first student of Bruce Lee!😃
The joy captured in your sparring especially in a video like this is just amazing. Never expected I'd look forward to seeing fighters spar for the smile it puts on my face but a lot of your journeys totally capture the moments that make learning from others and being able to respect other fighters and the traditions they carry so worth it. Great work Jeff + Kevin!
:)
Thank you!
This was a great Vid! So nice to see other styles of martial arts getting together without ego and learning from each other.
So many different styles were shown here with each being very specific on handling the opponent 🤙.
Love this video Coach Jeff, keep them coming.
thanks as always shi fu!
This has to be one of the best videos I've seen. Two people learning from one another. Great work guys
I'll be honest I thought Kevin was another mickey mouse wing chun guy, now I swallow my words and become an admirer ! impressed ! this exchange has great vibes too, really the best content of youtube's martial art channels
cheers!!!
Good to see you guys both keeping it playful and having fun. Great way to learn and try new things without getting injured. Enjoyed watching!
:))
This is also a great demo of how to defend successfully against a taller opponent. I love how you guys are showing great technique and still keeping a playful attitude in your sparring.
What a fun video, I don't think I've ever seen a sparring where the athletes had so much fun before.
Martial Arts are incredibly satisfying.
Thanks for the content.
:)
I studied the Fong style of wing chun and it's definitely blended. In fact my teacher knocked me out using only Boxing as a lesson of knowing Wing Chun's weaknesses in order be well rounded. This dude looks very well rounded. And respect to mmashredded as always.
WC trains against WC methods... to develop the proper principles and coordination. However... most fighters are not going to attack you with WC. As such, you need to practice against other arts methods... to make sure that you fully understand which methods to use, and at what ranges. Many of WCs arm movements works great at medium distances.. but once the OP is too close, they can use cutting angles to slip through. You either have to keep changing the distances and angles... or use a different hand tech. All of the Principles and Technology is sound... but, you tend to have to gain certain Combat application, through trial and error... because most WC schools do not teach it based on the way people tend to fight today.
In the Ancient days of Wing Chuns actual origins... These fighters would have been testing their arts methods against other artists arts, often. That was a very typical and Logical thing to do. Its also how the Chinese arts kept advancing... because when one arts methods failed, they would either develop a new counter... or they would adopt the new superior technology.. of the winning arts methods. Such adaptations only stopped, after the Industrial Era of China... after Mao's "Cultural Revolution" (where almost all of the combat arts were Wiped out... due to Mao's +60 year ban on the practice and teaching of them).
I love the energy, wish sparring would be more like this, thank you Jeff for this amazing video 🙌🏽
thanks man!!
That looks fun as hell! Great showcase of the different arts and an awesome spar!
Thanks for this video! It's nice to see masters exchanging ideas. I really like the way Kevin expresses himself through his art.
Amazing! I love the fun you guys have here! This is lacking so much in most people I see spar, sadly!
A perfect balance between proper application and control and counters, while playing with different ideas real time.
Btw when you blitz the chain punches, have you tried to change angles as he is defending statically?
Once you connect - you simply pull him off to a side and blast from an angle, and when he re-aligns to protect against the new threat, you simply angle the opposite direction and blast again.
Usually then they push forward to stop it by which you retreat while blasting as well XD
I did this yesterday with a tai guy, got him pretty frustrated XD
I havnt yet but I will try, thanks for watching!!!
I absolutely love how fun this looks! Sparring should be this fun more often! It can be when both partners drop their ego and encourage experimentation.
Also, you guys have great endurance! It's very deceiving just how tiring it is to go at the pace you're both making look so leisurely.
:)
Dude, I've been following you for years now, I don't know how you do it, but you CONSISTENTLY produce good content. Awesome to have you!
Two great people and great content. Thank you for such a great video. Loved it... Respect!!!
thank you!!
Big smile here. Love the playfulness and friendly “ violence “. Kevin would do well in the Taekkyon game too with his ability to consecutive kicking with proper control. Jeff, keep up this positive message
thanks!!
Would be cool if you can do a video with Kevin's sifu, Francis Fong... one of the OG Kung Fu guys who blended BJJ, Muay Thai with Wing Chun.
id love to one day!
respect to the fong style
Love your content man! This is the most fun spar I have ever seen on your channel and others. You're a huge inspiration to me and helped me get into Muay Thai while I was feeling depressed & suicidal. Keep up the amazing content!
The rapport and camaraderie is so wholesome. Makes the sparring look amazing.
Great to watch you both having so much fun and pulling out some awesome moves.
as a very amateur martial artist who practices for self defense, mind body and spirit and practicality i just wanna say i love your videos Jeff, thank you, you keep it fun, real and honourable for me!
thanks so much man!
That was some dope sparring. Love Kevin's synthesis of styles.
osss
Major props to both of you to bring the fun & learning into ur sparring more..
Kevin- great to see you showing your latent skills..
Keep up the great work you guys🙏🙏💪💪
thank you!!
Best sparring video! That was so fun to watch. More colabs with Kevin needed for sure.
Insane amount of stamina, skill and pure FUN! Awesome material to watch and learn.
oss!
Kevin is one of those cool guys you train with and learn a lot from at the gym, solid dude for sure 💪🏽
:)
Been waiting for this video for a while!!! So excited to see it and awesome sparring session!!!
cheers!!
Watching both of you reminds me of why I love martial arts regardless of style. Thank you two
You’re so humble man. Not even going to call out that beautiful sweep/throw at 3:13 , perfect timing and great job closing the distance.
thx!!
Very cool gentlemen. When game play dominates instead of ego you can see how productive the learning experience can be. Always impressed by you buddy 👊💀
thanks :)
What a fluid, quick, playful and respectful sparring, great to watch!
cheers!!
Kevin just such a humble, joyful dude.
Impressive very high level martial artist both of you. Always inspiring to watch. Jeff. Aloha. Keep them coming brah.
thank you!!!
Kevin's scorpion punch is fairly similar to the Ox Horn Strike from Hung Gar (often done as a paired-simultaneous strike, which I've also seen Kevin use on his channel). Kevin's version here follows a slightly different line than the couple of variants I learned. I've found it quite handy when sparring, myself (even though I'm well out of practice with Hung Gar, as a whole). Edit: 3:49 is pretty darn close to the Hung Gar version.
Both extraordinary fighters portraying deep sportmanship awareness whilst promulgating the true seek for knowledge exploring all possible styles. A life changing lesson
Daaaaamn, you guys are so good! So much control and such good reads at that speed and with all that versatility you both have is altogether unbelievable! Pros are scary!
Wow! This is my first time to see you doing a light sparring. But anyway after watching this video, I already understand the martial application of chain punches. May God bless you.
you must be watching 1/10 of my videos if this is the first time you've seen me do light sparring
That scorpion punch is such an interesting option to add for slipping outside jabs. I would be really interested to see how well it pairs with a single-leg attempt or ankle pick with the hand that stays low!
cheers!
For me that's the best sparring video I've seen of your's. Thanks both of you !! Kevin's a Beast!
thank you!!
Man I love these sparring videos. The cross martial arts rounds were pretty damn cool, would love to see it again. Happy I started following your channel Jeff!
thanks man!!!
This is the first time I've ever seen Kevin Lee spar and I totally did not expect him to frequently use that many kicks, 10/10
cheers!!
He has such great energy. What a wonderful sparring partner. I bet he makes training addicting.
:)
Came from Martial Arts Journey.
Thank you for helping him develop his art. You are a very giving person with incredible skill and athleticism.
I am now subscribed to you too!
I love sparring like this it's a controlled respectful sparring match and having fun shows the control of each fighter
cheers!
I love how Jeff is so nice to everyone and always speak highly about people and his literally bruce lee if he was doing mma
:) thanks man!
These videos are amazing. Im just starting to get into martial arts and I'm actually kind of stressed out trying to decide what to commit to. I'm late to the party (32 years old) and I've been jumping around my local gyms and schools taking them up on free intro classes, getting a feel for everything I can and meeting the instructors. Based on the schools near me, and the quality and experience of the teachers, and what I'm interested in, I have it narrowed down to a few. Either BJJ, Kickboxing/Muay Thai, or Karate. I don't have any desire to actually fight, it's more for getting my life back together, taking power back building discipline and finding peace. That being said I do want to learn an art that will hold up in a real fight against someone who has trained as well. I've been undecided for a couple weeks now and i'm running out of free classes lol. If anyone reading this has anything helpful to say about this, the advice would be much appreciated. I love you all
Take karate and kick boxing. Kick boxing will give you plenty of sparring and useful for fighting karate will keep you lumber and will bring you inner peace the longer you train
Start with BJJ as it’s going to require more of your attention then anything else at first. You’re late to the party, but with BJJ you can still do fun things like compete regularly well into your 40s-50s. It can take awhile to acclimate to grappling if you’ve never done any before, and striking takes less time to catch on imo.
Once you’ve built a good base of fundamentals, add a few days a week of a striking art.. Muay Thai is fun, but I also think certain Karate styles are fun too. I mean, if you start with BJJ first you might end up just wanting to add another grappling art like Judo or BJJ to make you even more of a well rounded grappler.
Bro do whichever one is the most attractive to you and don’t worry about it’s practicality in a “real fight”. You are way more likely to devote yourself and work hard at an art that you genuinely are interested in and enjoy
thanks for watching man!!
Probably best to choose the gym that you think fits your personality the best. If that happens to be karate make sure you spar lightly so you can practise the real thing too. Good luck!
Kevin is so HUMBLE.
I always laugh and have a lot of fun during sparring and also give cred DURING sparring when my opponent is doing something impressive (successful feint, or successfully head kick etc.).
I would love to sparr (and loose) against Kevin. Such a nice guy!
Made me smile several times during this video. Thanks for sharing it! ❤
:) thanks for watching!
Great video. And Kevin is super well rounded. I love seeing sparring different styles. I'm gonna steal a couple of those kicks he used 😊
cheers!
Daaaamn... this was such a great set of matches, and SOOO much fun to watch. Kevin Lee is great, such a talented little dude!
Also, Jeff chasing him around with those Chain Punches killed me haha 😅 Very funny 😁
hahah cheers!
Damn his kicking tecnique 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
oss
Maybe the best ever sparring session I have seen so far!
Incredible skills with so many combinations from both parts with respect and fun.
This is pure art!
Simply perfect 🙏😍
thank you!!
Those switching kicks are bad ass just like in TKD. The pressure punches are similar to the weight bag punches drills. Nice sparring and demo of Wingchun. Thanks Jeff & Kev 👍🙏
Scorpio punch is good if you don't have T-Rex arms 😂
haha
You can also call it the Moon Punch 🌙 or Horseshoe Punch because it looks like "C" letter
cheers!
I love the wholesome sparring, but still clearly VERY technical. 🙌 great video!
thank you!!
OMG...so much fun to watch the different styles and you two laughing and flowing. What a great way to learn and keep in shape. Props to Kevin giving up height, weight and length. He's a beast! Thanks so much for sharing and keep up the great work!!
cheers!!
im just beaming smiling watching this guy enjoy his sparring. what an inspiration
:)
This will be my favorite sparring video. It is educational, intense but fun to watch.
thank you!
Thats was exciting and fun to watch! Great video. Love the channel👍🏻
thank you!!
Two of my favourite martial arts people, sparring with respect and fun learning.
I smiled the whole way through - looked like you guys were having so much fun while sparring. Cool video - THANKS!
:)
This is awesome. Great job guys. Love the sportsmanship.
Both of you guys are amazing. Thank you for sharing these experiences.
thank you!!
Very fun and entertaining to watch, thanks for the upload!
I didn't know Kevin was that good, damn!
Keven is one of the most underrated martial artists out there right now.
Such a fun session to watch. Trying some funky things and also letting your opponent try some funky things is always great to see
:)
Now that's fun to watch. Thanks, guys!
Awesome stuff, man. You two are some of my favorite martial artists to watch!
thank you!!!
“Training with legends” down in Burbank he taught and facilitated a lot of classes! Star struck he’s on my favorite MMA channel! Go Kevin!!!
cheers!
Kevin??? PLEASE, DO MORE STUFF LIKE THIS! Had no ideia you had such an incredible baggage, i mean, i knew but never saw it in action and DAMN! SMOOTH AS BUTTER!
cheers!
This is so much fun! I love this playful stuff. Too many guys always puffing up in the M/MA sphere. You don’t have to be a d-bag to be good at fighting! Crazy, right? I have lots of Chinese/Japanese TMA experience and over a decade in MMA and I absolutely love your channel, man. Seriously, you’re the best.
This was awesome to see. Thank you once again.
:)
This was the most entertaining and fun sparring I have ever seen! 😃💯👍
:)
Wing Chun is such a great spar if you mix it up. I LOVE the Savate you guys threw in.
Great collaboration!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Kevin’s got a huge toolbox of techniques. 😃😃👍👍
jack of all trades!!
this is what Martial Arts should be about. A conversation and an exchange that makes you both better NO Ego just Hard work and Fun
Awesome content as always Jeff!
thanks Zack!!
i can only say thank you for your fight spirit , i love you , keep it up it helps a lot , for people like me with a lot of fight spirit
