Dan Lok I am so thankful to have found you on UA-cam. These guys are very fortunate to be able to be Mentor by you. You are by far the best speaker and teacher I have ever seen. Congratulations on all your accomplishments.
Augustine Fong teaches that SPEED does not matter. If you respect TIMING, then the opponent MUST GET HIT, and speed won’t matter. If you do as the teacher in this video advises, you are not really “breaking rhythm”. You are rushing, and soon you are guilty of “tam da”, or “point greed”. Do yourself a favor and find out what the various timings are truly about by checking Sifu Fong.
As a martial arts practitioner I know everything about Bruce Lee’s greatness. But for some rude people who say he is just an actor can you make a video on sharing some stories of his greatness ?
bnsgokugreat , I've never met a anyone in the world who is only one THING, trade, title, etc. He said to be called "a star ..." was an illusion , however to be reffered to as great actor would be a compliment. So.. "it's all in relation 'man'. " please excuse me, english is my first language so when I say that it doesn't have the same cool asian accent/twang to it.🤣😅🤣😅🤣🤣😅 [but, you get tha point😉]
Ha ha ha. You remind me of that scene in "Full Metal Jacket" where they decide to visit a hooker. She comes on a moped, gets of the moped ready to do her "duty" and says to the soldiers: " - You want Boom Boom? I give you Boom Boom!" and one can´t help but think: " Damn girl. You certainly know how to talk to the soldiers eh? Especially when they´re out to "shoot it off".
Excellent. Amazing. Extremely hard. A great challenge with a great goal. Now I understand better when, on Enter The Dragon movie, the Sifu asks "What's the highest technique you intend to achieve" and he answers "To have no technique". It makes all sense. No matter how good or "the best" the technique is, it's already a standard. It may work until someone comes and realizes how to break it.
Since I found you online.I never last a day without watching any of your videos over and over again! I even saved some of your videos! Wow! Your videos can be saved unlike the other! 😳😱😍 When I learned BRUCE LEE is your idol... I can tell you're going to be a great SIFU in my life! I watched your videos backwards... 😂 And today I finally commented! 😬😂 Thank you Dan! Keep inspiring us! Mwah! I/We love you! More Power! 💪😘
I started this technique a while in my boxing training. Mimicking Roy Jones jr style. And now thanks to this video i can advance in new ways in combat. I also added a metronome to my training . its great for keeping rhythm and even better for practicing broken rhythm
You can see Bruce watching Ali through the movement of Jun Fan's students this video coupled with Ali's early fights can truly show the Students the quality Bruce was expressing...this is also why Bruce trained to muisic and was a SUPREME dancer ...and it was the elements of dance and singing (Bruce loved to sing) thus I really believe in his mind when fighting bruce was dancing and when he struck he was singing thus his Beautiful battle cry MMMHH GOI SIFU GEE
If I am not mistaken, I never seen a tutorial or lesson like this or the way you teach here in you tube. What I mean is You are one of a kind. Keep up the Good Heart Boss. Thank you very much.
The human brain is very adaptable, if you create a rhythm for the other person to follow, you can easily beat him if you break it and time the strikes differently. I’ve seen people do it in street fights and in the UFC. You just have to be watching the weapons, not predicting when they’re going to strike.
I think this video has given reassurance and confidence to my training, that I was actually heading the right way, and a deeper understanding of intercepting a RYTHOM
When I was 16yr's old my friend had a brown belt. I would always over power him, using broken rythems came naturally. I don't think we understood this at that time thanx.
@@Pwasercan anything that can be done with the body or hands is art, some good art some bad art. art doesn't belong to no one is what you do with it. to me krav maga is an art only that, because of the adding boxing techniques with self- defense stationary techniques, it doesn't have an essence.
Great video, it's one of the most important aspects of fighting. This is extremely important in boxing, someone with a predictable rhythm will get countered. Also another aspect of rhythm other than timing is power. If someone changes a from a weak punch to a strong punch, this will throw someones timing off. Also throwing a weak punch after a strong punch as a feint into a different attack. It's all about reading the opponent and throwing off their expectations. Predictability is the worst thing to happen in fighting.
AWESOME video!! In my early training in JKD (and to this day), my brother and I were using these EXACT 3 beat concepts. This is an empty hand straight punching form of hu bud that I learned from Dan Inosanto (not in person) a long time ago. May I suggest here (for others) to not limit your training. Open up your mind. If you use your imagination, you can come up with endless variations of this excellent training method - including varying the type of 3 beat responses to your partners punch. For example: Once you feel comfortable with Mr. Lok's drills, instead of using the left pak sao (parry or slap block), right cover, left downward slap pattern to the outside of your partner's punch, you could use a left Tan sao (palm up block) to the inside of your partners punch, to a right pak sao, to a left tan sao. It's a little more difficult to do, but the variation will make you that much more efficient. You can also change the punch your partner throws: low straight, long hook, backfist, etc. All the same concepts of the broken rhythm would apply. By experimenting with the different ways to apply this drill, you make it more challenging and less monotonous and repetitive. As I wrote, there are endless variations in which you can do this drill. You can also do a 2 beat (left pak, right cover) switch to left lead punch, back to the 3 beat rhythm on the left or alternate left and right lead using just the 2 beat rhythm. Thank you Mr. Lok, for making this excellent video.
How does a guy managing more than 10 companies and doing all the business and mentoring that Dan is doing finds time to do these videos... I don't understand!!! Really mind boggling.
Dan Lok: You must have seen the videos where kung Fu vs other martial arts. Many times it does not look so good for the Kung Fu guy. One thing i have noticed is that the KFG never seem to do much more than defend themselves, often very poorly. They almost never do any attacks? I am sure you have seen the "master" got his ass kicked by a mmaguy. 1/ It would be very interesting if you could show some techniques facing another martial arts. 2/ It would be nice if the Kung Fu world would put forward a challenger that could brush of the bad rep it gotten recently. I understand that it is not always the "style" that is the most important, but the opponents skill that makes the difference. Jeet kune do has it´s base in kung Fu so i count you guys into that group. My theory is that other martial arts are more similar to another than the Kung FU styles thats why they are more succesful toward each other. Just subscried. It would be a fun thing to watch to watch different styles against each other.
Claes Lundin JKD emphasizes more on Attributes than the techniques. The reason why many kung fu guys fail is because they lack the attributes needed to perform their techniques. If you dont have good stamina, reflexes, strength, presence of mind (not to mention, the JKD attributes) etc, then learning any technique for you is useless.
Cool video Dan! Two of Bruce Lee's students from the L.A. school are really good in articulating the Broken Rhythm. Their names are Steve Golden and Dan Lee.
A metaphor is an abstraction... Bruce was relating as always a 1 to 1 relationship, an exact representation of what his thinking was at that time....no abstraction, the actual thing itself, something that made him so appealing to so many, he was always teaching...
Rhythm in Roll....Rhythm in Release....Rhythm in Rate....Rhythm in Distance Control.....Heart rate sore in Stance (Toe in)....Heart rate lower in Dance (Toe out)....Good fighters bring what they got, but great fighters take away what they bring with rhythm........Every Pro Boxing Club has Bruce on the wall and his teachings in the book.......Always be big love for the Dragon!!........
Great coverage for this subject. Also the choreography with Chuck Norris in Return of the Dragon (besides this Game of Death vid) displayed the Muhammed Ali "Bicycle" type toe dancing that breaks the rhythm of always being "flatfooted". Love that Pak Sao drill too. I have seen various instructors use that drill; it was not around when I took lessons back in the 60's. All we had was the one where the partners bang their forearms against each other.
So broken ryhtm is an advanced tool , requiring flexibility in tempo and insight into your opponent's rhythm to break it, manipulate it and nutralize it. It's controlling movement. You've got to be fast, deceptive and insightful in seconds
From the bottom of my heart - thank you Dan for your amazing videos. This is Rubin from India. Love you. Salute you my Wing Chun and JKD Teacher. And as we all who love Master Bruce Lee - there is no-one, nor can there ever be anyone greater than him, not even close to being like him.
Very interesting. I've seen some MMA strikers use this in the octagon. They'd train the opponent by repeatedly striking a certain target . Then sudden change targets for a KO.
I’m 13 and was introduced to jeet kune do at an early age, and had watched most Bruce Lee movies by 9. I have loved jeet kune do since introduced, and I will forever. Your channel is amazing, and you have inspired me a lot!
Good stuff my sifu had us doing some of similar drills on broken rhythm and it really opened my eyes to a lot of stuff. Thank you for this little nugget of wisdom.
Finally about broken rythm, if you had sparring or fighting with a lot people then you'll understand that your weight & your opponent weight also effect the rythm. The one who can read & steal the rythm that's the one who will win the fight. This's really high level training.
Broken rhythm.. flexibility, unpredictability, ability to read the opponent yes I have always believe this! when we walk, we stance, we move we all have our own rhythms and when we do things we love to do sometime we sing along and hym hym the beat along as well. Broken rhythm is new for me.. broken rhythm is really hard to read. 😃
Please make the videos on solo training one can do without a partner......i don't have anyone to trained and I have learnt from UA-cam and videos.......after this video I respect him much more.....miss you master Bruce.
If Master Bruce was alive today, he would be very proud and glad that his followers and next generation students are doing a good job in incorporating and utilizing his very own created art which is Jeet Kune Do, and as such real and well define martial artists of any era; these disciples are not only creative but also helpful and very unselfish by openly sharing their good wisdom to others who are willing and interested in learning.
Well said Dan you explained that well and you kept it simple. You explained broken rhythm well. And the young man training with you did good. Thanks Dan keep up the good work. Peace.
Great instructional video as always. Please turn down the background music or leave it out completely, it's better for the viewer to concentrate on your content. Thx.
After seeing your videos, I really understood what it means to be awesome. I actually feel more lethal and more competent after learning from you and Bruce lee. I now understand the way he does things more and more, how real he is and how fakers are jealous of him. If they spend more time improving their technique and learn from the mighty bruce as much as they spend their time spreading false rumors and hating, they would be mighty as well. Or competent.
Good video Dan. you're a great communicator. You can also practise broken rhythm simply by varying when you hit the pad. First hit in a standard rhythm, every second say, then vary when you strike to 1, 3, 1, 5, 2, 4 seconds etc. Also play with varying speed. Whenever I hit the pad or hit/catch anything for that matter I try to remember do this. it makes a big difference
I liked the video, and I have read the Toa of Jeet Kune Do, I have adopted a stance from it, the one that the weak side (my left) hand is protecting the groin and the strong side protects the opposite side of face (left side) with left shoulder forward. I like this stance as it gives quickness and shooting from the hip with the left fist forward. It's also a very good adaptive stance that can be quickly changed at any moment of reading the opponent. And, like your broken rhythm video, it's easy to employ that out of this stance. Like Mayweather the boxer, your left shoulder is forward and protects the left side of the face, as the right side is away from the opponent, as you are almost looking through the fingers of your right hand. Thanks for the video, informative. Oh. . . I was a student of Kenjo from Okinawa for about 7 years and hurt my back and now I'm just a guitar player. I also studied chucks and Bo staff. Got pretty good too. I miss it very much.
Broken Rhythm is why Mayweather made easy work out of Pacquiao Canelo Alvarez beat Cotto & gave GGG tough fight because of Broken Rhythm Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr., Ray Leanord had very good Broken Rhythm Anderson Silva before Weidman had good Broken Rhythm Even when you watch people play basketball at the park, they have good Broken Rhythm Broken Rhythm came natural to me & a lot of other kids when we would play Football, Basketball, or even Slap Boxing I just call it RazzMaTazz lol Thank you Sifu Dan Lok for this lesson
Only recently getting into martial arts ... think it's awesome that the business expertise that I came here for has flourished into another of my interests. Keep the vids coming Dan
Have been playing broken rhythm with my cat... and have always in a way been practicing it without knowing it. Once I understood this concept and realized I was doing it, I mixed it up on him and went in to push him with my face. He reacted as if my hand was coming again and got me on the nose 😂 he won that round.
Wow, I really liked this video and I'm not even a martial arts guy! You can use this concept for a variety of sports. Consider a volleybal attack (my thing), jump high and therefore having the ability to smash at your chosen point instead of the 'standard rhythm'. I call it a buffer. But changing that position is actually changing the rhythm.. and will almost be a successful 'beat' every time when applied. Interestingly I regularly clap my hands when I explain the pace of the attack. And how about a discussion that turns into dominant situation when somebody rants and forgets that everybody on the table has his or her own equal piece to bring in. Change the rhythm. Thank you Mr. Dan Lok, what a lesson learned today!!
Broken rhythm is extremely important in combat! Some fighters have it unknowingly, as an “Awkward fighting boxer” (of course, not in an elite level but even at that level can be effect) and can create problems to better boxers or fighters who are used to rhythmic fighters. Mastering Broken rhythm combined with good faints will confuse the most experienced fighters! Bruce Lee was a true student in combat fighting a force to be reckoned with! He was so ahead of his time, even with today’s elite fighters I believe he would have (to put it kindly) excelled!
Your videos are jewels I learn so much and it gives me the power to go and get the basics. Your are helping my elevation into my higher self. What is the most important mental training of a martial artist?
Definetly a very hard technique to master took me a long time to even get the hang of it, still working on it. Its as he said it goes against our nature as creatures of rhythm but its a very interesting concept.
Hi Dan, you do great work, Bruce would be proud in what you do. I've been watching your videos for a year now, and you cover your topics well. Master JediROTN World Class pro Foosball Champion
Awesome... You can see it for yourself. If you watch his fight with Taky Kimura (UA-cam channel "Beerdy - Bruce Lee Central") you should notice that, at no point did his opponent look comfortable. Yet Bruce seemed comfortable and in total control almost 100% of the time; rhythmless, constantly flowing around everything, just like water.
I've been tryin difference between the breath sighs and I truly believe his screams let more energy and force be exerted thru arms and legs because it flexes the torso more, for me anyway, that's what I see,I'm just now finding out alot about Bruce Lee this last month and im slick mad I haven't heard half of thos info my whole life
I have been watching your channel for so long n you r doing great job.i like it very much. Keep it up.i used to watch octavio since 12 years.bruce lee was great.my childhood superhero.i wish i could get into tgis stuff but all of humans wishes never come true...may be few of them....😔.anyways i'm always happy to watch JKD and ur channel. thanks DAN
I do boxing and i do music and yeah its more called conter rythm but that is almost the same. mix that with non regular punching combination and then you have a devastating option on your oponent because he canot anticipate! Great video!
this is really cool and fascinating, im not advanced enough to execute this easily but- technically what you are doing rhythmically/musically is 1 and 2 rest -- 1 and 2 rest - rather than 1-2-3 1-2-3 then when you go faster you are moving in between the 1 and the AND as in 1 E AND 2 - so literally twice as quickly gives you the in between punch.

*Yes, I've been waiting for this!*
Not a lot of fighters take rhythm into consideration.
Exactly.
Augustine Fong teaches that SPEED does not matter. If you respect TIMING, then the opponent MUST GET HIT, and speed won’t matter.
If you do as the teacher in this video advises, you are not really “breaking rhythm”. You are rushing, and soon you are guilty of “tam da”, or “point greed”.
Do yourself a favor and find out what the various timings are truly about by checking Sifu Fong.
Exactly, mix things up, never get stuck in a pattern, because when you do, you become predictable. Don't be a marching band's metered tune, be Jazz.
sadly even jazz is predictable has a rythem.
@@antlerr just try to predict tempo of kendrick lamar - All right. The song heavily use jazz
Be Jazz my friend.
Be Bebop 😎 and water
In other words, work around those odd-time signatures!
I didn't know that about broken rhythm in JKD. I learned something new today. love your videos.
Good.

Ikr? If he's just an actor why did world class professional fighters like Joe Lewis ask Bruce Lee to train him?
@@bruhmoment3731 Yup! 100%
Broken rhythm is one of the essential aspects of JKD. Good video!

This helps to see the basics of the JKD building blocks for us novices. Dan Lok is a great communicator. Thanks Dan.
Keep it up Marc Steel.
Excellent. Amazing. Extremely hard. A great challenge with a great goal.

No matter how good or "the best" the technique is, it's already a standard. It may work until someone comes and realizes how to break it.

How does a guy managing more than 10 companies and doing all the business and mentoring that Dan is doing finds time to do these videos... I don't understand!!! Really mind boggling.
Cause most people are not high performance. I get more done in a day than most people do in a month.
He truly amazing
What are his businesses??
Dan Lok: You must have seen the videos where kung Fu vs other martial arts. Many times it does not look so good for the Kung Fu guy. One thing i have noticed is that the KFG never seem to do much more than defend themselves, often very poorly. They almost never do any attacks? I am sure you have seen the "master" got his ass kicked by a mmaguy. 1/ It would be very interesting if you could show some techniques facing another martial arts. 2/ It would be nice if the Kung Fu world would put forward a challenger that could brush of the bad rep it gotten recently. I understand that it is not always the "style" that is the most important, but the opponents skill that makes the difference. Jeet kune do has it´s base in kung Fu so i count you guys into that group. My theory is that other martial arts are more similar to another than the Kung FU styles thats why they are more succesful toward each other. Just subscried.
It would be a fun thing to watch to watch different styles against each other.
Claes Lundin JKD emphasizes more on Attributes than the techniques. The reason why many kung fu guys fail is because they lack the attributes needed to perform their techniques.
If you dont have good stamina, reflexes, strength, presence of mind (not to mention, the JKD attributes) etc, then learning any technique for you is useless.
Cool video Dan!
Two of Bruce Lee's students from the L.A. school are really good in articulating the Broken Rhythm. Their names are Steve Golden and Dan Lee.

Thank you Dan for breaking this technique down. You are a great and inspiring teacher.
This is perfect and beautiful to watch and learn. The Greatest, most Skillful Boxers alongside other Martial Artists often exercise this.
Thanks! I was thinking about broken rhythm the other day; and today you uploaded this video 🙏 high quality and helpful as always
Yes Dan this is excellent!! One more great lesson for my JKD development thank you Master!!!

Also the choreography with Chuck Norris in Return of the Dragon (besides this Game of Death vid) displayed the Muhammed Ali "Bicycle" type toe dancing that breaks the rhythm of always being "flatfooted".

thanks again for the vds you make the information very clear!.
Broken rhythm is something that can beat any advanced fighter in our own ways...
This was truly enlightening and inspiring. Thank you. You have stoked the fire while teaching me to be like water.
You really got a lot of beginners. I want to see there Progress in a year
Thank you so much for this valuable lesson 🙏🏼🔥
Broken rhythm.. flexibility, unpredictability, ability to read the opponent
yes I have always believe this!
when we walk, we stance, we move we all have our own rhythms and when we do things we love to do sometime we sing along and hym hym the beat along as well.

Please turn down the background music or leave it out completely, it's better for the viewer to concentrate on your content. Thx.
Thanks for sharing. Not the first time I've encountered the subject of rhythm in combat, but I need to investigate it more.
Use a metronome to start training for rythm , then change its bpm ot timing 4/4 6/8 etc .
You are the best trainer on UA-cam
another straight to the point video dude!! thank you !!!
Thank u Dan lok this video is great jeet kune do is the best but is hard to understand it but with your help it makes it easier.
Another cool lesson Dan, OUTSTANDING!!!
After seeing your videos, I really understood what it means to be awesome. I actually feel more lethal and more competent after learning from you and Bruce lee. I now understand the way he does things more and more, how real he is and how fakers are jealous of him. If they spend more time improving their technique and learn from the mighty bruce as much as they spend their time spreading false rumors and hating, they would be mighty as well. Or competent.
Correct.
Dan Lok you actually replied to me. This is a huge deal for me! Yay! I wanna say thanks for being so inspirational, even to someone like me!
Good video Dan. you're a great communicator. You can also practise broken rhythm simply by varying when you hit the pad. First hit in a standard rhythm, every second say, then vary when you strike to 1, 3, 1, 5, 2, 4 seconds etc. Also play with varying speed. Whenever I hit the pad or hit/catch anything for that matter I try to remember do this. it makes a big difference
I liked the video, and I have read the Toa of Jeet Kune Do, I have adopted a stance from it, the one that the weak side (my left) hand is protecting the groin and the strong side protects the opposite side of face (left side) with left shoulder forward. I like this stance as it gives quickness and shooting from the hip with the left fist forward. It's also a very good adaptive stance that can be quickly changed at any moment of reading the opponent. And, like your broken rhythm video, it's easy to employ that out of this stance. Like Mayweather the boxer, your left shoulder is forward and protects the left side of the face, as the right side is away from the opponent, as you are almost looking through the fingers of your right hand. Thanks for the video, informative. Oh. . . I was a student of Kenjo from Okinawa for about 7 years and hurt my back and now I'm just a guitar player. I also studied chucks and Bo staff. Got pretty good too. I miss it very much.
Drills to train your reflexes... tactile... visual...and auditory!
BROKEN RHYTHM IS THE HART ❤️OF JKD .!!!!! ADD , SPEED . AND ( THE OPPONENT IS IN TROUBLE . ) .!!!!!! . 😎👍🙏🏾🚨...GOOD TEACHING . !!!!! . 🙏🏾.....
Broken Rhythm is why Mayweather made easy work out of Pacquiao
Canelo Alvarez beat Cotto & gave GGG tough fight because of Broken Rhythm
Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr., Ray Leanord had very good Broken Rhythm
Anderson Silva before Weidman had good Broken Rhythm
Even when you watch people play basketball at the park, they have good Broken Rhythm
Broken Rhythm came natural to me & a lot of other kids when we would play Football, Basketball, or even Slap Boxing
I just call it RazzMaTazz lol
Thank you Sifu Dan Lok for this lesson
Certified G Ride I learned to predict what will my opponents do before they move by playing football...
Only recently getting into martial arts ... think it's awesome that the business expertise that I came here for has flourished into another of my interests. Keep the vids coming Dan
Keep practicing.
Excellent always learning will use.
Have been playing broken rhythm with my cat... and have always in a way been practicing it without knowing it. Once I understood this concept and realized I was doing it, I mixed it up on him and went in to push him with my face. He reacted as if my hand was coming again and got me on the nose 😂 he won that round.
Wow, I really liked this video and I'm not even a martial arts guy! You can use this concept for a variety of sports. Consider a volleybal attack (my thing), jump high and therefore having the ability to smash at your chosen point instead of the 'standard rhythm'. I call it a buffer. But changing that position is actually changing the rhythm.. and will almost be a successful 'beat' every time when applied. Interestingly I regularly clap my hands when I explain the pace of the attack. And how about a discussion that turns into dominant situation when somebody rants and forgets that everybody on the table has his or her own equal piece to bring in. Change the rhythm. Thank you Mr. Dan Lok, what a lesson learned today!!
Very apparent, even in fighting games. Timing is a very important part of any active competition.
ao true. I was whooping my friends ass in the new sould caliber the other day cuz his timing was so off 😂😂
Loved it I will become water and very my technics, thank you Mr. Lok.
That's was brilliant and very thought provoking
Broken rhythm is extremely important in combat! Some fighters have it unknowingly, as an “Awkward fighting boxer” (of course, not in an elite level but even at that level can be effect) and can create problems to better boxers or fighters who are used to rhythmic fighters. Mastering Broken rhythm combined with good faints will confuse the most experienced fighters! Bruce Lee was a true student in combat fighting a force to be reckoned with! He was so ahead of his time, even with today’s elite fighters I believe he would have (to put it kindly) excelled!
im used to broken rhythm, I just didn't realize it was the key to my success. It always feels like your intercepting.
Your videos are jewels I learn so much and it gives me the power to go and get the basics. Your are helping my elevation into my higher self. What is the most important mental training of a martial artist?
Eric, have you watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/OT2sbCIWH1g/v-deo.html
Definetly a very hard technique to master took me a long time to even get the hang of it, still working on it. Its as he said it goes against our nature as creatures of rhythm but its a very interesting concept.
Try Russian systema by vladimir
Dan Lok is the greatest in Jeet Kune Do right now.
Awesome. Thank you, Dan.
Hi Dan, you do great work, Bruce would be proud in what you do. I've been watching your videos for a year now, and you cover your topics well.

World Class pro Foosball Champion
Appreciate that.
Well explained, Dan. Much apprecaited.
Really really interesting 👏👏
i don't even practice martial arts and found that fascinating. Much about life is rhythm.
Our instructor stressed breaking an attackers rhythm a lot. Proper timing will save your life many a day!
Thank you for another great video. Thank you for helping me understand who Bruce was and his philosophies.
Awesome... You can see it for yourself. If you watch his fight with Taky Kimura (UA-cam channel "Beerdy - Bruce Lee Central") you should notice that, at no point did his opponent look comfortable. Yet Bruce seemed comfortable and in total control almost 100% of the time; rhythmless, constantly flowing around everything, just like water.
I've been tryin difference between the breath sighs and I truly believe his screams let more energy and force be exerted thru arms and legs because it flexes the torso more, for me anyway, that's what I see,I'm just now finding out alot about Bruce Lee this last month and im slick mad I haven't heard half of thos info my whole life
I have been watching your channel for so long n you r doing great job.i like it very much. Keep it up.i used to watch octavio since 12 years.bruce lee was great.my childhood superhero.i wish i could get into tgis stuff but all of humans wishes never come true...may be few of them....😔.anyways i'm always happy to watch JKD and ur channel. thanks DAN
I do boxing and i do music and yeah its more called conter rythm but that is almost the same. mix that with non regular punching combination and then you have a devastating option on your oponent because he canot anticipate!
Great video!
Thank you.
I am reading the tao of jeet kune do and i didn't understand what bruce wanted to mean but then i watch this video. thank you very much!
this is really cool and fascinating, im not advanced enough to execute this easily but- technically what you are doing rhythmically/musically is 1 and 2 rest -- 1 and 2 rest - rather than 1-2-3 1-2-3 then when you go faster you are moving in between the 1 and the AND as in 1 E AND 2 - so literally twice as quickly gives you the in between punch.
Thank You! This video has been very informative and has been a great help to my training. Im very thankful for your additions! Have a great new year!
Happy new year.
This sistem challenges momentum, it breaks the tradition of patterns, to create a window of opportunity for the figther ,thank you!!
Thank you master.. 🧘🏻♂️🙏🏻✨
thank you! from Buenos Aires..
