I've been watching everyone of the JKD training videos and I've learned a lot and I love the different ways to perform each techniques.

Fascinating. This technique, no doubt combined with many hours of practice and repetition, explains how Bruce Lee was able to generate knockout power from a straight punch. It seems related to the way that power is generated in a tight left hook punch, starting with a drive off the rear foot, followed by a violent pivot around the left hip and at the waist, with the power coming out at the very end of the punch. Bruce Lee appears to have been truly masterful at analyzing the mechanics of the human body and applying them to his techniques. Years ahead of his time. I think those who dismiss him in the modern world of MMA would have been severely humbled, if they were able to actually meet him, in a no rules confrontation ! Awe and respect from me !

I am loving this JKD video series, got me to enroll in a KungFu class, which is something I've wanted to do my entire life, but never took action. It's been 2 weeks now and I love it. Thanks Dan.

Thanks Dan God bless you, my jab's speed and power increased 10x times better than before👍💥

Nice content. I like to practice staying loose and fluid, then rapidly accelerate the punch. Then if you relax just after the punch it allows your fist to come back without having to pull it back so much. It is also fun to practice punching from various hand positions, such as fixing your hair, from the waist, from arms crossed, etc. Tightness and tension kill your speed and power, shake it out, stay loose like Bruce.

terrific demonstration and explanation of the Sifu. Thank you so much

A Whip @ the End. It reminds me of a full-body dance move combines with a fencing movement. I can remember Bruce Lee using this Jab in several Films.

God bless you brother just found your page, im following your dan pena playlist. 30 Yr Korean American Finally Giving it a Go. Its time. God Bless!!

an excellent explanation on how it's done is in the book, "bruce lee's fighting method", which was divided into something like 4 books & later became 1 big book. it really helped me learn how to punch at least as hard as most heavyweights, aside from turning my jab into a knockdown punch (in spite of being a pretty skinny guy who isn't very strong, due to some health problems). it's an excellent book.

It’s like watching Elvis Presley dance 🤣🤣🤣 Aight, but all jokes aside, in martial arts; power is generated from the hips/core engagement. Bruce Lee, mastered that concept.

Nice jab thank you training my basic jkd footwork

“Very effective, and much more damaging”

Nice video , the footwork of Octavio is just amazing

The stance / vehicle is like the PMP, the jab is the Lead Gen, the intercepting strikes are the Money Now and the finishing blow is Money Later. Cheers

BRAVOS AGAIN MY RESPECTABLE TRAINORS AND INSTRUCTORS AND TEACHERS MASTERS YOU'VE HAVE THAT TEACHING TECHNIQUES, SO CLEARLY, EXCELLENTLY DEMONSTRATED, THAT'S WAS SO GREATLY EXCELLENTLY DONE, THAT WHAT I OBSERVED TO ALL YOUR DEMONSTRATION SIRS! HURRAY TO BOTH OF YOU MY MASTERS!

Jkd need more people fighting in mma so we can see it tested in real situation I'm a jkd fan does my head in when people say it's not practical against a trained fighters

I like how you break the concepts down

I've been refining my techniques recently ... This is one of them. I thought I may have been doing it wrong, but I'm not. Just have to get used to it.

The wing chun punch is vertical, and most karate is horizontal. For their technical reason they do their punches their way. I think that we stretch our hand and let its natural way position take its course. What I observe with my hand when I stretch them forward with my palms and fingers open and straight pointing forward is that my arms and palm will position in diagonal- my left palm will diagonal toward the right; and my right palm toward the left. So I practice punching with my fist turning diagonally when about to impact and continue turning it to horizontal, like in classical boxing punch and Karate; Applying Shorin Ryu punching technique of twisting the fist upon impact,

Love it I practiced it I use to be stiff with it but I kept practicing I'm very loose with it and smooth with it I follow every step y'all do speed is important I use to worry about power not no more it's about speed creates power

Wow I have watched a lot of jabs and yours is super good

Thousand thanks to you Dan and Octavio.. You are doing awesome work.. Thank you soooo much..

Thank you , I now understand how this is done! Now to continue my footwork!

I was first trained in JKD and Muy Thai then in my later years trained in boxing, instead of the fist being vertical I used this exact technique but just altered my wrist by twisting it horizontally, JKD combined with pure boxing is amazing Edit: it’s hard to explain how to get that power and force from the energy coming from the forearm if you haven’t experienced it, I can only ask people why they think Bruce Lees hands shake during/after a close range punch

Love these jkd videos I hope you never stop making them always something new for me to learn.

I like octavio he's a g good teacher I wonder does he have a channel

Thanks so much Dan, I learned a lot of Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun because of your videos!! Keep up the great work👍👍😃😃😎😎

Thanks for all the videos! Your a great instructor, your videos have really helped me find flaws in my own thinking, one of the best tips I've gotten is about imagining pitching a bucket of water, that ideology of transferring energy changed my entire view of generating power, it still feels awkward to do, but I know that is a good sign, new techniques and effective ones usually feels awkward.

Im new at JKD and this jab is great! I almost have it down, just need to practice it more. Thanks for the video u guys are great! Gbu.

Best music, holy crap

thanks a lot can you make a video about breathing when we attack ?

Awesome Dan 👌

This is great you have to Twist and snap thank you very much Dan and octavius

SIRS TO TELL YOU FRANKLY, I'M SO OVERJOYED WATCHING BOTH OF YOU MY MASTERS DAN LOK AND OCTAVIO QUINTANO! HURRAY HURRAY, APPLAUSED , APPLAUSED YOU'RE WORTHY OF IT MY MADTERS

*Most basic punch!* But in JKD, one of the most powerful punch! Rear Straight next?

Nice technique its is way more quicker than a jab what i am practicing in mixed martial art but it is very advance make it for beginners

Plus you use your main arm for the jkd jab unlike boxing where you use the jab with your other arm too set up your strong arm for the punch

Hi Dan I be watching your video's for training it be great thanks

I watch this many times but can't do a perfect one

So did Bruce get this from Elvis?

Really really well explained! Found it very useful

Canton Michigan receives your message.thanks

The interior rotation of sifu's forward knee goes against body mechanics. Sifu flinches with his face a lot in his demonstrations. I agree with most concepts depicted yet the glaring mistake is where sifu is directing energy back to his body (recoil) the energy from his jab goes into torqueing his forward knee inside. Otherwise, displaying the jab like this and having people practice this way will further enhance my defense due to subtle cues that will look like major telegraphs now. Love all your JKD videos, keep up the content!

You must understand that the power of the punch comes from the left foot...let it travel through to like a wave...don't punch deliver the power to the target.,.don't punch push and reset...everyone has the power not everyone has the strength...everyone must understand that power is eveywhete...strength is an individual power...the stronger you are the more power you have as an individual...lee learned that power is something you use strength is something you have...together you become formidable separately you are only strong...be formidable not strong..,

I may have forgotten or looked over it but could you show us how to block a jab using JKD?🙏🏾

Beautiful Jab

Thank you for the informative video. Allows me to learn more when I'm away from training with my Sifu XD

this jab also is better for intercepting than boxing jab

my favorite punch of all time and I am super lightning quick just like Bruce Lee man I love it great video two thumbs up

Love this video helped me ALot love both of yall video's

I've been wanting to learn JKD for so long but sadly I haven't been able to find a teacher here in my home town

This was entertaining and enlightening. I enjoyed seeing this man's rendition of the lead straight. Some of it is quite different than my rendition of it. I think the way I do delete straight As more for the working class average athlete type of person, or non-athletic person. If you stripped of herkey jerky motions and allow the fist to lead the body's rotation will be a lot easier for the average person to pick up.

Fantastic job! Thanks.

Powerful punch. Needs practice to learn it

great vd great info i have my one opinion about the difference between straight lead and jab, i'am always open for discussion. thank you again dear dan.

Awesome technique, and also looks like Elvis dancing.

The greatest jab

Great videos. My concern here is punching with a fist. The few fights I have witnessed ended in broken pinky finger or thumb.

Just like a spring coil if you throw the punch..

please make a jkd cross punch video!!

Thank you for making these videos; it is wonderful to see skillful practitioners share their passion for the martial arts. I have an observation about how the punch is performed that I wanted to share. Please believe me that it is not my intention to offend. From my understanding the lead straight in Jun Fan Gung Fu is non telegraphic. Si Jo Lee advocated that the hand moves first. I feel initial flexion of the rear leg telegraphs the punch. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thank You Sir.

Went from finance videos to martial arts videos

Great video man!

Jeet kune do is awesome.

Can someone tell.... when to use straight lead and when to use a jab in a fight?

Love ur channel 😍😍😍

brilliant video sir

I'm getting better at it I'm always going to hit like that I use to throw horizontal but vertical is better

For me when I do this first times it okie it’s not hard but when I come to do this again it so long times I can’t and So hard

Love the Intro

Can you teach us jkd grappling please?

Very cool!

Hello, Mr Dan 👋 I have been watching a lot of your JKD videos, I don't see any video on how to breathe during practice, how to breathe in and out effectively, any help from you will be very good.

It looks like he is doing an Elvis move.

can you do a jkd combination?

gooooood Dan ,,,nice explanecions

This is my favorite independent motion technique. I learned it through Joe Lewis who learned it from Bruce Lee. I do some of the things Sifu says are wrong, but I'm too old to change now. :-) I've hit people like a deer in the headlights or stopped them in their tracks with this technique,. Thank you!

Please do a video on the paper target (if u haven't already) plz

Dan Lok can you do a better explanation of the JKD Jab? Because it's hard for me to see exactly what Octavio is doing because of the camera angle, plus the verbal explanation is not really specifically detailed

I've trained with octavio

Five stars !! 😊 MORE PLEASE !! 😠

I didn't get the difference between the straight lead and the jab in jkd. Can anybody help? Thanks

In reading the straight lead I’ve understood that the hand moves before the rear foot 🤔

Can you make a video an pheonix eye fist strike

The lead right other than my hook might be the most powerful punch in JKD right? I think it is in my practicing with the JKD idea

Are we starting the jab from the rear foot and then hips?

nice thats today

Basicly the principle of the one inch punch....

What’s the intro song?

Can u do a friendly sparring wif ur instructor i wan to see how u apply all that u tot us thx Admire u

JKD or wingchun better?

Grandes

That`s great. Where did you learn form Elvis Lol

JAB stand for?

The very heart of jkd is more philosophy take what is useful an discard the rest be adaptive If bruce was alive he would of learned jujitsu judo wrestling and he would of probably incorporated it into jkd but he died

Nice:)

What's name the intro song

Where are you guys located?

Jailhouse Rock!! LOL
