    Jeet Kune Do is not a set of techniques wiith a lable, it is a concept that no fighter can ignore. "Take what is useful, discard what is not". Use only the most powerful techniques you can find and make them your own. Do not forget his legacy.

    Hi, I'm a Fencer who has won 26 competition medals, former state champion, competed in the Junior Olympics and National Championships on multiple occasions and I have to say I was happy to see your footwork. You explained it very well and honestly, this footwork looks very much like fencing footwork though instead of the kicks we use the same steps to set up a lunge lol. Footwork is something I'm always working on and was happy to see we had similar ideas about it. Keep up the good work and hope your having a nice day.

      Its almost like boxing foot work... We take an inch or so step forward and place the back foot in the same spot that our lead leg was in... Taking small steps help us manage the space in the ring better

    What a wonderful teacher! He explains so well, and, absolutely tells you the truth about the time it really takes to make the Jun Fan/JDK stance feel natural and automatic. Waaaay back in 1980, as a teen, I started learning/training the fighting stance from the BLFM books, and like Dan, it really took a long time for what (on paper) seem so simple, to become natural, balanced, and automatic. Dan had me laughing too, because, to accurately learn/practice the stance with the various foot-works - and maintain proper posture in motion, I recall when my mother came into my room and saw I had used nasty black electrical tape (it's all we had) to lay-out a tape-grid on "her" beautiful hardwood floor. That day I also learned how to slip and duck a broom LOL! Keep up the great teaching Dan; no doubt, Sifu Bruce would be proud of you!

    Sifu Ted Wong was Sijo Bruce Lee"s Protoge in JEET KUNE DO. Sifu Wong emphaszied The On-Guard Position, Footwork, The Powerline, Balance, Alignment, Distance & Recovery. But Not all JKD Kwoons Teach The Importance By-Jong or The On-Guard Posititon as Sifu Wong did. But in order to be Proficient in JKD, you must understand, The 7 Natural Weapons, The 3 Fronts, Primary & Secondary Targets, The 5 Ways of Attack, The 5 Types of Speed and The 6 Ranges of Combat.

I think your style of teaching and communicating, plus your deep knowledge and elite skill in Bruce Lee’s creation, concepts and philosophies of JKD would be a HUGE SUCCESS if you did. Just a thought.

      I also transitioned from skateboarding to Kung fu and in Shaolin certain movements I've taught to people when they are struggling with like a double smash I teach it from the standpoint of skateboarding you know like doing a 360 ollie just don't do the kicks at first do the lift knee and 360 jump motion first more like a skateboard jump once the body understands the general principles of the larger movements then add in the kicks and details. :) i also see sparring much like learning a skateboard trick you work on it a bunch of times before it finally works in sparring, understanding that nothing happens immediately that it takes tons of practice is something that carries over from skateboarding it also helps that skateboarding already started my Iron shin training ages ago LOL as that board hits the shins over and over :)

    Bruce Lee was a born natural , and Ali did his OWN way combined with boxing it was hard to hit him.

Dan lok here does a good job covering much of JKD.. NOT every one can master martial arts cause they lack understanding what it is with being with out sincere motivation!

    Great video on footwork. Wing Chun has a closing the gap entry footwork as well. Guru Dan Inosato also states that Bruce really emphasized footwork. There is also great footwork in Phillipino Kali which is where Muhammad Ali got his signature cutting the ring shuffle from.

    This simple footwork can be a pivotal difference in two entry level or untrained fighters. Even with little to no training, the fighter with a basic innerstanding of footwork holds a large advantage. Especially in areas where there is room to move around a bit. That being said, none of the footwork in this video requires much space to use at all.

      I've used very similar footwork my whole life while fighting without ever knowing that it was from fencing or JKD but by watching Ali's footwork as his footwork was always something of beauty to me. Ali used very similar if not the same shuffle movements to close and create distance as well as pivot around his opponents makes alot of sense tho of how he was so maneuverable when alot of times it seemed that he didn't really move much at all if that makes sense lmfao I think Ali maybe stay a bit more in his toes of both feet but I think the basics idea is very much the same.

    The leg is a stop hit. Or an interrupt if you like. The curvature of the leg motion is to introduce and defensive attack INTO the line of attack. As is the Tao. You can generate force with that small curvature of the leg AND switch stance. The idea is to hopefully stop hit therefore interrupting the forward motion of the attacker. This is where the half beat lies. Benefit is your moving foot actually has the least amount of time out of contact with the ground. The tension in it also allows for a reversal of the same motion. Either in it or after it. This is also because this is one of the weaknesses of Jeet Kun do. SO it accounts for its self. The lead leg in the Tao is always susceptible to a stop hit. On the knee. But were just gonna end up discussing the benefits of the mobile stance versus the rooted stance. I liberally apply both to all situations. They can be combined. I also believe Bruce showed it once.

    Yes Mr Lok, I Met Ted some yrs ago at a very small seminar, I had some limited private time with Mr Ted Wong. He emphasized footwork and much more footwork. Ted is JKD, I’m not sure if he is versed in other arts as Kali and Silat but it doesn’t matter. Practice one art to master it then move on. Thx for sharing.

    Everyone martial artist should take up boxing for 6 months to supplement their training. Aside from the fierce conditioning, its a continual test of footwork. And enormous fun!

    Just did 10 minutes each side, just basic stand with some "walking around" and easy one punch....my legs are hurting. This feels very unnatural, but one can feel it is a quite aggressive stand with some sudden explosives moves. I think once one get used to this stand it is very good. But I only have experience in capoeira where you basically never stand still so this might just feel unnatural because of that. Will do this daily now and just practise good footwork. Thanks for the video!
