Not sure what was so impressive about that...He looked very quick against a guy that was just standing there.But pretty much any martial artist would. Reminds me of Monkey style kung fu.Just looking for openings anywhere and taking them. |

I wasn't going to make another thread () but I figured there were enough martial arts lovers here to appreciate this video. |

That is pretty much the basis of offensive fighting, in general, no matter what style you are using. |

It's all in your stance. If you know how to punch properly, you use the energy from your legs, torso, shoulders and arms to deliver the punch. I believe it's termed "kinetic-linking". That's what really makes the difference between some bar fighter and a martial artist. Once you have the stance, and the knowledge of how to punch properly speed will come afterwards. |

I agree. It's not what "STYLE" you belong to. it's the person using using the full potantial of his body. |

Yes, MoS that is exactly it, and this is what most martial arts try to teach. Not only that, but being able to exert very little force while misdirecting a very strong force. |

I already understand the concept. You were asking what I felt was impressive about the video. His speed and technique were the main part of what I found was impressive. What are you more unimpressed with, the artist, or the fact that he's doing JKD? |

`` I have the feeling that you have something of a negative (or simply unimpressed) opinion on the style, which is all fine and good. I completely agree that it's not the style that makes the fighter. `` |

No problem. Completely my misunderstanding, then. |
