This is GREAT Sifu Jason, one should be able to defend oneself at age 20, and super fit, and age 70, and not so fit. The emphasis should always be on combat and the sport should be secondary.

Great example of effective footwork and body movement!

The true saying is: "To change with change is the changeless state." That's literally Bruce 101. The philosophy was one of the biggest parts of JKD and why it works. It's about adaptability. JKD is nothing more than physical exercise without the philosophies behind it. You have to have both. Just like Karate would be simply Tae Bo were it not for the emphasis on mental, physical and spiritual development at every step. I'm talking true Karate, not the McDojo mishmash taught nowadays. The same goes for Kali, Wing Chun, Kalaripayattu, Kung Fu and any other martial art that isn't about just bashing someone's face in. He also said "Anyone who says JKD is this or that is simply not with it. It's simply a name used and like a boat that carries you across a river. Once across, you don't carry the boat on your back".

Well said man. Bruce Lee also had many students at different time stamps who picked up cups of the jkd ocean in midst transformation, resulting in different methods being taught. While this is valuable to learn elements of Bruce's approach for introducing adaptability to our MA training, it's definitely important to develop our own philosophical framework - our "Why we train" and the values which dictate the longevity of our interest in pursuing the Martial Way.

JKD is an adaptability that uses moves suited to each individual (what works best for them) while maintaining the free-flowing principle of what the philosophy of JKD is. I used to talk about this with my veterinarian (Dr. F) who used to train with Bruce and was Bobo's vet in Oakland.

You most certainly have this down packed....i have been searching for a while for someone who actually breaks down jeet kun do in a way that is truly understood....no explaining the moves or the foot work amd the demos, that's always nice but i feel like this is the real meat of it all... Thank you.

You are as thorough as my sensei I had when I was learning this and muay Thai. I definitely miss having someone that humble and knowledgeable around, thank you for putting this out there and bringing up old memories and making some new. Who knows, you may have just made me look back into training with wood dummies and hanging bags again 🧐

Anyway, I digress, the point is I wanted to thank you for your direct, factual and (very important) FREE information. You're a much needed voice today in the field of martial arts. I hope the graciousness of even just a few of us here on KZread inspires you to continue to share your wisdom as it is very educational, effecient and highly sought after by serious martial artists. Thanks again Sifu! 🙏

Brandon I was a lifelong Martial Artist and Instrucor who traveled the world collecting The finest instructors I thought money could buy. I walked into Sifu Jason's and ended up studying under him for years. I never tested for a single belt. When we weren't arguing like Brothers or having some of the most interesting conversations in the history of mankind he was teaching me some incredible stuff. The best part is that if you've been doing martial arts your whole life, you've probably come to many similar conclusions about self defense as JKD with Sifu Jason you'll find them all in one place. He is the best instructor I've ever had. With apologies to my grappling coach Mark Hatmaker who is the greatest grappling coach in the history of grappling. I mean that literally. But if I had to send someone one place in the world it would be to Jason.

So much good philosophy here tied to tera firma. Lots of "LARP"ing happens in martial arts. People quote their favorite movies and have strong opinions about their teacher and lineage. This stuff you're putting out here is about the realist stuff I've heard in years!

Jeet Kun Do and Krav Maga are very similar, both have emphasis on real world situations, where the point is you walk out safe, not some flashy moves. There's a difference between mindlessly swinging, a calculated jab, and a rehearsed and/or impractical movement.

If the best _Defense_ is *Offense* and the Best Offense is a *Counterattack* I would go as far to as to say *Interception* is the best Counterattack.

The single hand multiple leading jab really works in the street. So fast. Nobody ever expects to get hit twice with the same hand in a second. It shuts down their confidence instantly.

Well said sifu!!!

Very good common sense in what is being said. In a fight you don't want to prove how good you are , YOU WANT TO SURVIVE AND LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY . Good and sound advice.

You know, I saw my first Bruce Lee movie back in the late '70s when I was in high school. It captivated me and started me down the path. Like most, I knew nothing about it and figured any art would do, and sooner or later I would magically gather my awesome skills by osmosis. But I saw something that changed my journey, and it was an eye-opener! I was training in a pseudo Kenpo style, and another fellow and I were to spar with a blue belt, meaning he had at least a year in the system. The fellow with me was a white belt, he knew like 3 things, and I expected the blue belt to handle him with ease. But the white belt was big, gung-ho, and enjoying himself while the blue belt was smaller, introverted, and kind of timid, so the white belt chased him all over and the blue belt could do nothing to stop him. So I left and tried to find what I could, and there wasn't much in my area at the time. I was fortunate to find a very classical Tang Soo Do teacher, and he knocked the mystical right out of me. I know you are thinking, how does a classical style help at all? It taught me there are no shortcuts, no magic things, no series of rabbit punches and kicks that make you invincible. There is only hard work and the eventual understanding of the eliminations of you and what you know. I remember Dan Inosanto saying that the concept of JKD, (and he didn't call it that) was to help the Shotokan man deliver his punch better, the TKD man to set up his kicks with range(and function when it gets close), and after much searching and reading, I realize just how advanced he was for his time. Had he lived, we would have much more to ponder, because he was always researching and experimenting to find the 'truth' in a world that didn't value the substance over style- the martial arts world. Nobody wanted to hear that the best way is to hit the other guy before he hits you or not be there at all. I read somebody calling his stop hit, the lead punch, a 'scientific sucker punch' as if that invalidated it. He hated all the foolery that impressed the rubes, and we can forgive him for that because it was all he did, that and a little acting. Yes, we know he had a dog named Bobo, and we also know that he knew nothing of the basics of living. His wife said he lived on marshmallows for days when she was gone, and couldn't figure out simple chores or use a tool. So he was a fighting savant. He compared everything to fighting, that was his world. He was like the Terminator: He couldn't be reasoned with to abandon his search for fighting truth, he had no pity or mercy for classical styles, and he would never stop training or experimenting, ever.

Thank you. Self defense is exactly what you say it is. :)

Well put,,so true, that's what I like about Tommy Carruthers JKD,,and Greenville Academy, it's about an Intercepting Fist.. cheers.

I will say, when I look at a knife in the kitchen, can I learn how to use that knife as a self defense? Can I train myself to be good with that knife? Now, can you sharpen the knife? How durable is the knife? What type of knives out there that you can use? The only one I know is the butterfly knife. And I think of getting one and learn how to use it. Or better yet, I know it sounds dumb but what if someone create an attractable wolverine knife or hidden blade like assassins creed. I know ppl have guns to protect themselves and I considered of getting one myself but what happens if you run out of ammo?

Sifu Jason studied under Sifu Ted Wong. Sifu Wong was Bruce Lee's final private student before he died. Sifu Wong decided to teach JKD exactly as it was taught to him. So it's really the final incarnation on JKD as taught by Bruce Lee that Sifu Jason teaches. He doesn't talk about it because he is very humble. I studied under him for years. He's more a brother than a friend even. But even I never knew he studied under Sifu Wong until he walked up to me one day and asked me, I'm going to see Sifu Wong this summer, do you want to go? I won't repeat what I said but it did end with yes. In years with him I never tested for a single belt. Truth is that he is not only the best instructor I've ever had. But one of two that I feel I could always learn more from. There are things we disagree on. But these principles certainly aren't among them. Unfortunately there is only one Sifu Jason. But if I had to send someone like my Sister who is my boy living biological relative to someone to learn self defense it would be Jason with no thought or question.

To add on about you talking about Atomic Blonde scene as an example (which i never seen lol), Bruce demonstrated exaclty that in Enter the dragon when he was answering the confrontational bully's question " Whats your style?". Bruce's philosophy was to simply use the best way to win or survive a fight....get your adversay away from you and not impeded any further...by having him trapped in the middle of the ocean on a boat haha "Its the art of fighing without fighting"

Yo Greenville gang; I just started Muay Thai in Greenville.

I totally agree yeah Bruce Lee was an artist and he wanted to show the beauty of everything that he did in the movies but in a real fight I remember him saying things like that you know to be brutal direct quick and to try to end it as fast as possible because a real fight is way different than a TV or movie fight between two actors so most definitely yes

I have trained in Jen Do Tao, which has the motto "attack the attacker" which is essentially a Jeet kind of martial art and has a similar disdain for the MMA attitude, not that we don't like watching the matches for SPORT.

But I weigh 255lbs for instance in real life if some guy could pull guard on me on the concrete what is he accomplishing by pulling 255lbs of active weight on top of himself on concrete other than assisting me in kicking his ass? Some guys came in the Kwoon once and asked about BJJ I told them to take my 140lb grappling dummy in the parking lot and pull guard on it. I told them I would call an ambulance after I stopped laughing and posted the video on KZread. The guy's brother and both got it. It clicked, they realized how useless BJJ would be in real life

Practical and empowering! I was lucky enough to train in Budo Taijutsu with a real teacher like yourself as a kid. I always appreciated how much emphasis he placed on 'realistic' skills - as you point out, a 'real fight' is not one that happens on a mat or with referees. Self defense is not about how badly you can hurt the other guy or how spinny your kicks are, it's about adapting, redirecting, and getting the hell out of there as quickly & safely as possible. We were drilled to always yell STOP three times before engaging, to warn the attacker and anyone nearby of what was going down lol, and then to RUN shouting help as soon as the threat was disabled. 80% of moves we learned were counters that require an opposing force to perform, though we did learn how to quickly pop an eardrum - not something you'd see in MMA, but I wager it'd stop nearly any thug on the street XD

Another great video. And adding my two cents. Some people don’t understand analogies,such as the Truck reference you mentioned, so... A Kinesiology approach: All fighting stances are a compromise between balance, mobility and cover. As such, JKD,s on guard position is optimized for mobility, balance yet some cover from groin strikes and knee kicks (non sport) Other stances may be “too daring” JKD upper body position is a compromise with emphasis on “fencing - with a lead fist, or eye jab” because it is based on the physics reality of bare knuckle fights, eye jabs being another non sporting strike, modern boxing is too daring here as well. JKD strikes with a gloveless hand require less “push” or lean into the punch (more water less wood) to transfer force as there is no pillow to spread out the hit force, it’s more like whipping ones fist bones into their face, hard. JKD kinesiology is optimized for the Jeet. There are many other aspects of JKD fight physics that are optimized for sudden violent encounters, but this is KZread...

This is a nice try but aren't you talking about a JKD - flavored sparring approach? In true 'Interception' be it intent or physical movement, you don't take a stance, you don't move around with your opponent. Some JKD - flavored sparring is no doubt useful but it is limited in what you can learn just by itself. We're doing better now with 'mobile feeding' as in the video but that is more kickboxing than anything 'interceptive'.

“Get gone” I like that..

Hallelujah brother!! Speak it on the mountain top. It's just as you say. Bruce like his culture, had a tendicy to speak philosophically. He would often wax metaphorically. That unfortunately allows for others to get the wrong end of the stick. Plus I believe he studied philosophy. Oh boy. I bet he was fun to talk to at times. I bet Steve McQueen said to Bruce more than once. Bruce what the hell are you talking about?!😁 Thank you for the video. Keep it up.

And got knuckles right down the centerline with pak-sau.. once I’m in a good structure and I’m committed.. I’m gonna throw..

I could've of miss heard something, but I wouldnt say that MMA is worthless, I understand what your talking about, but that champions of MMA are still pretty good. In order to make MMA a effective self defense martial art you just need to use all the iliegal moves, and hit diffrent targets.

as with most videos/tutorials on martial arts the above scenarios are unreal. I just want to protect myself from a 'mindless street attack' which are becoming more prominent in these days.

Get a gun. Go to a boxing gym, Run away. There simple

I'm sorry sir, but there are some fallacies to your arguing. I totally agree with you on the aspects of art and philosophy and I'm also with you that self defense requires other methods than combat sports, but to say that combat sports don't prepare you for violence isn't true. To take your example of a random person challenging you to a soccer goal contest: If you're a goal keeper and have been practicing this for years and a random person without a warning shoots a ball at you, chances are high that you're gonna catch it instinctively. And same goes for fighting. Just because there are rules in the ring/cage that doesn't mean that there isn't pressure or violence. You're still engaging with a trained person trying to inflict a huge amount of damage to you. So if a random person tries to punch you and you're a trained boxer, chances are high that you'll either evade the punch and counter attack, or that the punch at least won't baffle you, because you're used to getting punched. Long story short, if you regularly train under conditions that put you under stress and confront you with violence, you get good at handling pressure and at dealing with violence. MMA for self defense isn't a car in a lake, it's a racing car on a regular road. You can still crash it and it's seriously overpowered for regular traffic, but if you suddenly need to speed up, it's still a great tool. Your biggest fallacy imo lies in what you consider self defense. Robbers kicking down your door at night, mobs of people attacking you out of nothing, etc. These situations are super rare and no martial art will save you if you're so unlucky or stupid to get into them. Effective self defense is 85% preventive. Don't get into arguments, spot dangerous situations and remove yourself from the scene, don't be alone in dangerous neighborhoods, etc. If you actually get attacked "in the wild", fighting rarely will save you, but if it does, I prefer to have practiced actual fighting instead of theoretical drills. If you want to practice a sport for self defense, do olympic sprinting. If you want to learn how to fight, do a martial art that focuses on fighting: combat sports. One last thing. McCregor just had been fighting 4 rounds of exhausting high level MMA when he got blindsided. The man was tired and beaten. And watch it again. He got blindsided, true, but what happened next? He turned around and fought back! This is a great example that MMA prepares you for these kinds of situations. A man, totally gassed and beaten up got hit in the back of the head and still managed to adapt to the situation and attacked back. Training in combat sports teaches you exactly this. By accident you gave an example that is totally proving the opposite of what you're claiming.

Sifu Jason can't say this, but I can. I was training for cage fighting. And we were having to scale back everything that I would normally do and everything traditional JKD teaches you. He was working on my stand up. In real life a guy who trained to cage fight hitting mitts and rolling around on a mat sparring with boxers and kick boxers and learning BJJ as if in real life someone is going to attack you wearing pajamas and standing on a memory foam mattress. It doesn't happen like that. I'm 50 I'm still confident I could beat the crap out of John Jones. But there were guys and girls in JKD that weighed under 135lbs which is 120lbs less than me I know could have blinded me with finger jabs, and kicked my Jimmy through the top of head. JKD isn't a sport for a reason. It's not intended for sport, it's for real. And there is no situational awareness teaching in MMA. Some guys like the former Champions Michael Bisping, Chuck, Tito, Randy, Rampage etc didn't hold a black belt in anything but at least they wrestled in high school and college, Randy boxed in the Aemed forces he was middle weight Champion. MMA was originally supposed to be guys with years of training in different styles clashing. Now it's world where a little dude to me. Like 170 pounds. Who rushes out and his opponent rushed out going for a takedown gets an accidental KO becomes like the abdominal badass boogeyman. He said he would fight a guy in the parking lot or in the produce section of whole foods. You can tell from the reference he really had it hard. He is on the cover of UFC 4 the video game. I break all my grappling dummies and BOBs & other bags that weigh 170lbs if I'm not careful. And I'm eligible to join AARP in a couple weeks. Seriously, get over MMA if you want to live. And get over the idea of measuring yourself against another man. That talk sounds nice online until you are standing in front of someone you know will kill you and they call you on it. Then you will think about the consequences, the legal trouble if you win or lose because if you win you will have to kill him, are you not just able in your mind but willing? Because he is ready and willing to use the nuclear option right now, in fact his eyes have gone blank and blank and he is calm worst or all and he is about to go. Do you really want to test yourself because he's not playing, he's not blinking and he's not waiting. He's giving you one out. Will you take it or will your pride cost you your life at his hands or in a private prison courtesy of our legal system?

They can't even say it, how can they get it.

Bruce threw out ALL the wing chun and moved onto Fencing with boxing concepts.

Its never complete people seem to think his jkd is a full proof method no he says himself take what works for you and forget the rest and if you think there a better way to somthing try it out its about never sticking to one for or style dont limit yourself there's always more to learn and more to add jkd isnt the same for everyone person just like we all have are own personalty we all can have are own methods its a way of life be open to all things look at life like a child and be like water

And I totally understand where you're coming from everybody nowadays wants to compare UFC MMA to anything and everything and I'm sorry but the UFC and MMA is not the be-all end-all of fighting I love watching it but it is not the end-all be-all because they're just certain things that you cannot do outside on concrete I mean you can but then you going to end up fighting a human and the asphalt

The “sport vs self defense” argument is a bit overplayed. If you cannot prevail in the ring or on the mats what makes you think you can prevail on the street? Oh, there are no rules? Well guess what sunshine, there are no rules for the person that was already kicking your ass inside. It seems to be an excuse to not do as much fitness or hard sparring. But, think of it like swimming. One group spends their time swimming in the pool, competing in races. The others do swim like motions and strokes next to the pool, claiming the pool is no substitute for the ocean. The two groups are on a boat that goes down, who fares better? I’m currently training JKD, but bringing the lessons I’ve learned from martial sports with me.

This guy is too deep in his bubble. I was a huge Bruce Lee fan. Still am somewhat. I love Tao of Jeet Kune Do. I practiced Krav Maga and and other "rbsd" stuff for years. But I tell you, you need to dive into combat sports to know what you are capable of. Even if the tactics are not very suitable for self defence, practicing your stuff against real, LIVE resistance is the only way to improve fighting ability. Train some grappling art. It may not be a good idea to just assume your attacks will instantly incapacitate an attacker. If and when they don't, you will need real fighting skills and stamina. If you train bjj or mma too for example, it doesn't mean you HAVE TO pull guard if someone attacks you. It doesn't mean you cannot throw punches or whatever.

Alot of people dont understand the true way of jeet kune do because it demands that the practiciner thinks for themselves.

Ontop of that alot of scam artists take advantage of this given how jeet kune do works. If you see a jeet kune do school on youtube claiming to be a good jkd school, unless they specialize in something else on the side its most likely someone just after your money.

Dan Inosanto always practising of what Bruce was saying. He is not wrong. If Bruce is alive, he's smiling and showing you the weakness of your points. Who are you to give your ideas from Ukraine to who was always on top in martial arts?

When an actual boxer knocks you on your ass, you get up and tell him it's a philosphy and you don't get it while holding back tears.

Yes sir. Also remember nobody teaches ma for free so keep that in mind when "masters" speak.

Good video. But the idea that self defense begins after you are attacked or the idea that you cannot attack until you are attacked first is bad practice and a false mindset for real self defense. If you are presented with pre assault indicators ( someone blocking your path or exit, blading, targeting, balling their fists, putting the things in their hands down, ) you may have to initiate the physical confrontation. That doesn’t mean you have to beat the crap out of someone. But a real quick hard push, a quick couple of strikes or a quick foot sweep to someone who is preventing you from leaving a dangerous situation could be the difference between escaping unscathed or being in a full blown Donnybrook where your jkd gets tested to the limits. Totality of the circumstances apply, it’s a judgement call and yes, you might get charged for going hands on first but imposing upon yourself this concept that the other guy goes first is not a good idea. Keep all options open, including the option to take initiative if a fight appears inevitable.

As we age most of us have lost the speed and athleticism. What does the ‘classical’ JKD hold for us? Is JKD as demonstrated something valid for 18-35 year old? It needs to adapt to us. Internal martial arts were the long term plan. But they’ve lost a lot of credibility of late. How do you plan to take JKD into your old age. Watching out of shape and older JKD ‘practitioners’ is quite the parody. To add perspective I’ve seen older boxers and Judoka still able to demonstrate skills. Perhaps Wing chun is the retirement plan😀

Wanted to add I do enjoy the channel and is not meant to be a personal criticism. I believe in manners. My concerns for the older practitioner are genuine.

Sifu Jason is too modest to say this. Bruce Lee was constantly refining JKD. And Lee's last private student was Sifu Ted Wong. So technically the purest form of JKD is really what Lee was teaching Wong. Although that was at the end of his life, that has come to be known as traditional JKD because Sifu Wong chose to pass it along exactly as it was taught to him. What others teach who add their own techniques and don't include techniques from the full system Lee left have become known as JKD Concepts. Sifu Jason was a student of Sifu Wong. He teaches the purest and most complete line of JKD. You also much remember Bruce Lee the movie star was Not Bruce Lee the Martial Artist. He once said, " I would no sooner punch a man in the toe than kick him in the head.

Dan Inosanto has probably the most current and full knowledge of JKD. He was constantly getting updates from Bruce personally. He was even going to HK to visit and get the current updates. He said Bruce was constantly evolving and he got monthly and sometimes bimonthly updates. Dan was there from the beginning to the end of JKD.

This guy is on video saying "if someone attacks you with a knife killing them is murder." Here in reality if someone attacks you with a knife, killing them is self-defense. You're going to get people killed and that's not jkd either

It’s wrong what you teach your students . What is wrong ? They step and after that they punch ..why ? They need to be a lot quicker . I advice you to ask Emilio for help. The best way to understand is hands and feet not feet and hands .

This is my favorite JKD video and could serve as a mandatory intro to JKD Get this before you move ahead

r u doing real jkd or concepts real jkd is what counts

yes, i do. and know how to spell.

The concept of "jeet" or jie (mandarin) is far more ancient, then Bruce Lee ! ;) You just have to know the history of the TCMA(Traditional Chinese Martial Arts)... :)

I rather call it dragon fist 龍拳

There's actually a lot of groin hits in his Tao of JKD: end the altercation and move on.

Intercepting the moment before it blossoms on you..aka.Intercepting the attack before the problem crawls in yr ass😁

I understand that Jeet Kune Do is better and more effective at self-defense and street fighting and it's more awesome than Wing Chun

JKD is anything that works

ssssuuuuuupppeeeeeerrrrbbbb

A lot of dogma, gets people hurt.

Your so dead on

7:30 Funny you use things from boxing Oh but MMA is just a sport. Yeah a sport that is more similar to a real fight than boxing. Jkd IS mma and mma proves jkd. You're closed minded and do jkd?

Bruce Lee "Learm from anything and evolve." Jason "No only learn from what Bruce Lee already figured out and nothing else!!!!"

What you're saying does not match up with the video of your students. What they are doing looks like sport fighting. They are in a sport stance, dancing around, etc. As you point out...that's not how real attacks look. Your students should be in a normal everyday stance and THEN needing to react to an attack! As for the dancing around....try doing that in your home...you're gonna trip over furniture. Try doing that in a confined area, an elevator, between parked cars, etc. You're not going to dance around, hit and move, etc. So what your students are learning is absolute CRAP! They are pretending at fighting! And so while you're attempting to distance yourself from the "sport" arena, your imitating the sport arena in your training...but failing at even doing that!

Thanks for the input. Your comment is an excellent example for our viewers of the hasty generalization fallacy. Since the video covers a broad subject, we included miscellaneous training footage of mitt training. One can’t rationally draw larger conclusions from such footage - especially since it wasn’t the main focus of the video. The ideas were. For example, using a hasty generalization we might also conclude that our students don’t spar, lift weights, go running, or anything else. That’s why it’s a fallacy. It’s careless to draw universal conclusions from small samples. As for your fallacious conclusion, let us add that focus mitt training isn’t limited to sport fighting any more than heavy bag work or weight lifting is. The idea is to improve the individual through various drills and this video showed one. Doing squats isn’t fighting either, but the stronger someone is the better their chances are in self-defense. Once again, our thanks for your respectful input and concern for the quality of self-defense instruction. Also, we thank you for the opportunity to further educate our wonderful audience out there in KZread land about the laws of logic and their application to martial arts. We’re all living in a safer world when each of us accepts the responsibility to think clearly and without contradiction. Best wishes to you and thanks for watching.

If you have a wooden dummy in your gym then your not teaching correct JKD.

HAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAAHAHHAA, hilarious, to be frank, instead of a wooden dummy, it should be a good sparring partner!
