Ted Wong mówi o Jeet Kune Do- video

Mam kilka pytań do Stefana. Czy ciężko było się przestawić na pozycję prawostronną? Ile zajęło Ci czasu by poczuć się w niej komfortowo? Jak oceniasz siłę ciosu z tylnej ręki? W pozycji bokserskiej prawa ręka jest ręką kończącą, silniejszą i dlatego jest trzymana z tyłu by jednym celnym uderzeniem zakończyć walkę. Jak to wygląda z pozycji odwrotnej, wydaje mi się, że ciężko o nokaut zadając ciosy ręką mniej sprawną?

buczah, you are absolutely right. you have a point there.....


Just kidding We will just have to see what my respond will be after Michail has tranlated this for me.

I wish I would have an answer like the one I wrote, this menas I am on the right track challenging my own point of view in JKD.

" I have got a couple of questions to Stefan. Was it hard to switch into right lead position? How much time did it take to feel comfortable in it? How do you rate the strenght of the punch with rear hand? In the boxing stance right hand is the finishing hand, stronger that's why it's being kept in the rear to finish the fight with one accurate punch. How does it look in the right lead, I think that it's hard for K.O when punching less proficient hand?"



I will just say that.... Buczah do you train JKD? Have you ever trained JKD? Did you read those books: Tao of JKD, Bruce Lee Fighting Method, Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do commentaries on martial arts? In those books it is explained why keeping stronger hand in front is more effective, "strong side foward" is also something that distincts JKD from other martial arts.
About feeling comfortable in right lead.... I felt the most comfortable in right lead ever since, I always felt akward in left lead with right side in the rear.
When having stronger side in the front it's pretty much easier for K.O as in fight/sparring stronger, hand, leg is closer to the opponnent and also becouse they are more proficient.
Boxing keep the stronger side in the rear and Bruce percieved it as a "mistake"- the weak side; a disadvantage of boxing( and not only boxing becouse a lot of other classical MA had the weaker side in the front).
That's why he had designed The On guard stance, strong side foward. "JKD tactics" differs from "boxing tactics".

Remember the quotes and statements that I used: "JKD is unique". Which means that it has it's own structure and it is not simply incorporating techniques from many different MA, by doing that as an outcome you get: standing most of the time in left lead, punching the boxing jab kick with Muay thai kicks, do some grappling from BJJ, some trapping- Wing Chun mixed with Filipino MA- this is what I see when I look on JKD concepts.
Does it resemble to you what Bruce Lee was doing? Here on forum you can check the comparison clips

In boxing to knock out the opponnent you use two moves- One, two- leading left followed by rear cross,

In JKD you use only one motion to execute the possible K.O- Straight lead punch, becouse of the strong side in front- The economy of motion.


Remember Buczah, JKD is simple, direct, non classical.

Which way of boxing do you teach and perform? Vertical or skewed on 45 degrees?

You mean the position of the hand when punching- Vertical postion of the hand. How about you ?? Why do you ask?? You can see it in Stefan video clips. There are several reasons why we punch this and not other way and it's not only becouse Bruce Lee was punching like that

Yes this is what I mean. I asked, because after one of the seminars with how you call them "concept guys" I changed way of hitting from vertical to a little bit twisted not exactly vertical but in more natural position of wrist...I wonder do you know why I make like this?

ps for me its only small detail, actually sometimes I hit with vertical sometimes with horizntal...reason of this is that in my cup are some drops hehe

The Vertical position of punch is strictly connected with the on guard stance and law of pshysics. That's the reason why Bruce was hitting like that.

The horizontal position or 45 degree angle fist is being thought by concepts guys as they stand in different position- modern boxing stance and no one of them I quess reffers to law of phisics.


The thing is do you know why you are hitting like this? Did the "concept guy" told you why that 45 degree angle of writs is better? Did he proved somehow that it is really better than vertical position?

Uff ..First of all I have never been taught about hitting in some scientfic way...What I know is: Vertical punch have more range then horizontal, it generates more power (muscle work...power delivered from ground by whole body to the target) elbow posistion less time to get back to guard etc etc...
The best way to check it is to perform it...train.
About vertical vs twisted (45 degrees), Sifu Tackett said that Bruce after he discovered usefulness of vertical fist said that it generates even more power when u hit like I mentioned before.

For me its rather interesting fact then some revolution...More important is to hit and achieve your goal than hit with 43,2313 deegrees with feet on 42.44 etc
Yes there are important rules that u can't broke like crossing your legs etc

I wonder how mr. Tackett possible can know such things as he didn't learn JKD from Bruce Lee. Then I wonder who told him that.

Don't know how much truth is in those Tackett words but to me it seem like an attempt to rewrite the history.

Hello Everybody!
I have a request to Stefan - could you kindly contact me at my private address [email protected]
I'd like to ask you some questions. Thanks in advance!
