Hook punches are the way to go ...it's more efficient it just makes sense..and the groin strikes ..when your striking may be limited..then you adjust...like what bruce said you put water in a cup it becomes the cup... put a man in a small space... adjust... great lesson..thank you
When I practiced wing chun, one of the "advantages" is to attack at close range/in close spaces when the opponent can’t attack back but always shown the other guy pausing with real slow punches. When it came to the other guy grappling then they get quiet.
Small tight elevator, no distance so reaction time is in jeopardy. Common sense is to intercept the threat as early as possible. Don't wait. Hooks are great in close quarters. 👌 Another great video on a good subject. Thanks Thomas. Fantastic!!!
No no no you have to do a lop sau followed by a quadruple trap going into a Thai kick then a rolling arm bar , what your showing is far too simplistic 😂 says all the idiotic technique collectors . Keep giving out the truth Thomas & thank you for all you do for real martial art 👍👊👍
at the end of story i think,trapping , my personal opinion,is not useful in streetfighting,cause the opponentis not collaborative,and in near distance fighting ,uppercut or hook punch are useful you have to react faster ,but if were possibile ,never stay close to someone ,the distance is best defence,anwhere you explain very well jkd ,well done .
Great video Thomas, you really don't like those people who mix JKD with Wing Chun hahahaha. Btw, I'm still confused if the chain punch from Wing Chun is actually used as part of the JKD principles? Some people say yes and some say no. Is it used? I personally like it, but I also know it's hardly possible to use it, mostly when someone's head is moving to the side from a punch and you follow up quickly with that chain punch.
Its not about the people, but functionality and accuracy about JKD. What I hate is the misconception about JKD. I'm not selling you Ford under the Mercedes badge.
It’s outdated stuff. People are teaching things Bruce moved away from. Chain punch from Bruce in 1973? Come on man. He was way beyond that stuff by that point.
@@axelstone3131 - Right, I get your point, I'm just thinking the actual chain punch move is cool if you can use it, given the opportunity, even in sparring or official competitions.
Thomas, did Bruce utilise fencing because of his concern with weapons? Like knives? Or was it primarily just because the footwork enabled him to move fast? Or would you say it’s both?
@@ThomasMarxJKD have you even seen footwork from Tommy you found baffling? Or were puzzled by? Maybe when you started? I ask because of what some people have said about Bruce that they were baffled by his movement/footwork
So out of curiosity… When can you use trapping…??? I appreciate the reality of JKD but I suppose I’m trying to see it from a situational standpoint if that makes sense
@scottrussell876 Why trap when during the same time you can hit and move? Trapping takes more steps and it was originally designed against styles that did not move fast and powerful compared to boxing. I have done trapping and everywhere you see on the internet shows the same thing: no power, pausing/no retracting, slow. It doesn’t work as good compared to just punch from different angles and use mobility. That is what Bruce went towards.
@@SuperMaryu767 I totally get what you’re saying and I’m all about the simplicity as he is… Just was curious about when can it be applied… Appreciate it
@brucehuddler7518 Why learn certain techniques for different ranges? You can punch in what is considered kicking range and so forth. The only transition is the distance, not the techniques especially techniques that don’t work under pressure like trapping.
@@scottrussell876 Just abandoned it and move to a simple and effective solution. Soon you will understand it. and Just watch some real wing chun fights, all of them is far from what you've watch in the movies.
Thanks Thomas 🙏🏼❤️ real effective JKD (as you teach), can be learned in a short time. I learned so much from your videos.Obviously takes longer to master. But Dan Inosanto is one of the big gest frau dst ers in martial arts. His "as many arts as possible" (his words). Was designed to keep students coming in paying him money. Sc s ammer.
Simple, but not easy. This doesn’t pay the bills, as most people are searching for the “secrets “ to martial arts, accumulation, vs stripping away the inessential. It’s constantly refining the basics that get you there, as the grind is boring for most people (it’s the same with Fencing) And what is refining? Stripping away all unnecessary movement and tension, developing a keen awareness of your own body mechanics. Refinement.

Just shared some more super advanced JKD trapping 👍🏻
In close distance, just finger jab, groin kick.
300 milliseconds is the average reaction time.
Whoever strikes first, wins.
Watch out for headbuts.
Cant wait to use wing chun when fighting boogeyman under my bed.
I'm learning a lot from your videos, fresh perspective. Thank you!
I started using nunchucks do you plan on posting any videos regarding nunchucks/bats?
Good video! Hand speed is nuts.
Totally agree, that is the reality!!👊🏻

lol bjj in the elevator 🤦♂️
Wing Chun only works in Slow Motion thats a FACT!
So does grappling, bud

@@MartialArtsMoves I’m sure there are more efficient, powerful and direct punches than the chain punch.
Pensador from keysi is the close quarter combat solution in my opinion

Superior mobility, weapons or no weapons.
@@ThomasMarxJKD gotcha 👍🏻

@axelstone3131 yes, his speed and clean movement at the same time. Also when I saw him hitting pads the first time, the sound was like firing a gun.

Transitioning between ranges. Like in an airplane, bus or hallway close.

That's going to be interesting 😂
Hook is much better of course. Common sense isn’t common.
