    That was much better than I expected. Quick. Hit hard. Good stuff.

    That is solid. We use that kick lots - mostly as a shot to the lead leg. I wouldn't really use it to the body, but then I don't typically advocate using body kicks unless you can get the person to turn their side to you.

    Mostly use that shot as a set up and not a damaging shot. I like to stay out or range, use that kick to **** them off, then clock them with the cross when they come in.

    fantastic. good power, great speed, quick recovery. looks kinda like my switch kick that i use for mid-lower line.

    My initial thought when he does the kick was that he was doing a switch kick, but he doesn't switch his feet, just brings up the bag leg and kicks.

    Hmmm....maybe "original" flavour JKD isn't so bad after all, eh fellas? ;)

    ??

    I don't understand. Was there the implication that there was something bad about "original" flavour JKD (as you say)?

    that he does. the switch kick i practice doesn't actually switch. in fact the front foot only moves back about 1" or less before it fires. same energy as a switch, just minimal movement. hard to do, and i still suck at it. lol

    No Yohan, it was just a cheerful ribbing as both you (I believe) and DaeHan are concept boys. No hidden agenda mate. :cool:

    heck, i've always had fun with it and respect it. OJKD is an excellent foundation for any martial artist. :cool:

    I believe Yohan is of the SBG variety. Concepts are too old fashioned for that crew.

    Phew! Thought I had missed something!

    Seriously though, that guys got a hard roundhouse kick. I want to see his foot fighting stuff.

    Lol, the original boys must be positively backward then! :hat:

    Well, there hasn't been much drama here on the JKD forum for a while!


    I believe the guy in the vid is Louie Berard from Tim Tackett and Bob Bremer's Wednesday Night JKD group. I don't know any of them personally, but their stuff is good (what they call "old School") JKD and a good representation of "Bruce Lee's" JKD (not your usual tippy-tap slap happy trapping stuff). Here is their Youtube Channel:

    Some interesting stuff on there.

    if you want drama...someone could start a thread called. "is Grappling part of your JKD curriculum?" :hat:

    Please, no drama, lets just enjoy the "JKD Modified" hook.

    Or was that a "JKD Hook" modified - LOL

    Lol. No thank you, I don't fancy worms for dinner - that's one can that can stay closed! :)

    I'm with you on that Stevie, in the vid I feel Louie is making too much of an effort to create a distinction between what, in reality is just lifting your leg at slightly different angle. If anything, it's just a variation of a tool.

    My opinion on this topic can be boiled down into one sentence:

    That guy has a good roundhouse.
