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.

I'm sure the technique part of Jeet Kune Do is the footwork. When looking at Bruce Lee and the way he fought. Yet I completely agree with your statement, regardless. I think the footwork is important for the speed of Jeet Kune Do

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

Ex long term student of Ted ( RIP) happy to say " this young man is simply great. It brings joy to me to see that JKD is still and with some obviously very capable men Thank you Dan.....

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!

Thanks, Dan. Footwork is definitely an underappreciated aspect - in many fields and disciplines. I digress: I’m trying to figure out why the dislikes. ‘Must be the 25% - 35% of neurotic society whose goals haven’t been realized - yet. Mine haven’t yet, either. Regardless, I’m not going to hate on others’ success.

The essence of fighting Footwork and movement... arguably Bruce Lee’s finest.

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.

Thank you for explaining every move or possibility with very well executed details. Love your work !

These videos are amazing and helpful. Have you ever considered creating some on-line JKD instructional modules like how Rickson Gracie and Henry Akins are doing, or even an on-line JKD University instructional site like how the Gracie Academy/University, Renzo Gracie, Marcelo Garcia and SBGi are doing. 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 have done fencing all 3 /also and jkd training this is very very very good stuff thx to sifu dan lok

Hi Dan Lok my name is Benoit,ive been watching your videos and i must say it was impressing and had a high learning value. Now who likes Bruce Lee the legend?I have all of his movies. If hed still be alive today i would liked to know him in person.Well,who wouldnt?Take care Dan we love to learn from you.

The hardest thing for a teacher to do is to convey the proper physical and mental mechanics that go into the art and this Sifu is excellent, he is very thorough 👊

Interestingly, the basic stance is very much like the stance used in skateboarding (for ollies etc). Feels quite natural to me! Thank you for all your VERY helpful and insightful videos Dan! Also greatly enjoy the positive and respectful comments on your channel compared to the snake pits elsewhere. This is what it's about!

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 :)

The whole time watching this video I kept laughing anytime the guy said it might feel awkward or simple movement but not so easy to do lol

This is very similar to boxing footwork and Is great with a jab to blind and distract opponent making them think your not in range then the next punch lands.

I agree 100%. Footwork is critical.

Always an amazing learning experience thank you.

I’ve literally been doing something similar for ages. I guess by watching Bruce Lee I just developed a similar stance.

*Ted Wong taught my JKD instructor Mike Rivas - I trained for about a year in JKD before moving on. JKD isn't for me but, I took the philosophy of JKD to heart and implement what is useful and disregard what is useless for me when learning different techniques.*

08:00 - 08:12 "you always ready to ......" BOOOOMMM😠👊💣💥🔥 (thx Dan🙏😃♥)

Fantastic leg work, especially for an explosive move whilst attacking an opponent without form.

I sure miss Sifu Ted Wong. Spoken to him a few times back in the days when he was in Vancouver for his seminars and the Bruce Lee Founation seminars. I believe he learned a lot more personalluy from Bruce since he lived with Bruce for several years. We know Bruce spend many,many hours training in his backyard etc and Ted was his pratice partner. Great video and cheers from West Caost Canada!

It's amazing techniques truly you are great I'm doing practice on this
