Actually he was punching but it was more like jabs in terms of amount of force applied. It's meant for speed...not a one hit ko. I've been taking Jeet Kune Do since i was about 8 and Bruce Lee always focused on speed versus power. He didn't neglect his power but felt speed was most important. That's why he would teach people to not overbuild their bicep muscles as it would slow down your "snap" as he refered to it. Also training your punches under water or with weights on is a good way to increase the speed of your punches/kicks.

not a pro fighter here but they dont look like punches to me. looks like he is just doing little judo chop style thrusts at the guy. when he's doing that he's not using any body motion at all hence no power generated. maybe that would be more useful if he was using his hands like that to poke the other guy's eyes like a three stooges episode.

Do you really have to know this fancy martial arts stuff to defend yourself? Can some decent size, speed, and (kick) boxing experience be enough?

Maybe all you tough street fighters should make your own video demonstrating how to punch right.

:roll:

kickboxing definitely. you got the agility training, and the strength of all limbs. you can drop someone pretty quickly with a couple quick punches and a nice roundhouse kick or a swift kick to the legs. drop them and move in, unless they have CQB training, they probably won't be able to get back up if you continue to attack.

I take JKD too, i really like it.

I trained for a few years with Dan Inosanto when I lived in Cali. I actually started with a different art and some other concepts. My brother started teaching me the art he had been trained in and the Navy Seals training he was at that time receiving. Once he got shipped over seas I had to take it upon myself to continue my training...that's when I found Inosanto. He's the only person Bruce Lee trained to teach so I felt confident learning from him. There is actually one other guy who's ranked higher than Dan but he lives up in China and prob wouldn't talk to a white boy like me if I tried lol.

I love JKD. It's a mix of WC, boxing, fencing, wrestling, etc. Problem is i've reached the furthest I can go with that art long ago due to the fact that any deeper training would require deeper training in WC. That would require going to China...and not being white lol. A good addition to JKD is Brazilian Judo or "Kapawaya". Definitely more of a workout.

For those of you who didn't follow Bruce Lee or don't know about Wing Chun Kung Fu, I wasn't attempting to be racist with my "i'm white comments". Bruce Lee was harrassed (and some say killed) because he was teaching the sacred art to foreigners which was forbidden.

Sure any training is better than none. Even people who claim they are black belts aren't that good. I mean nowadays it's almost as if anyone can achieve a black belt. Also it depends on the art/school in which you achieved it. Some arts are meant to dominate a specific art and some schools are alot easier going on the promotions.

Just remember that size is an advantage...but not a deciding factor in a fight. It can also be just as much a liability.
