its great to see that Bruces art is indeed in safe hands here . . just a nice example of how explosive you have to be . . . anyone looking at this would instantly recognise the dynamics . . most fights begin this way so look at this recognise the ESSENCE of what is being demonstrated then go practice !! thanks for the upload and the free pointers . .
It's very nice to see JKD being represented by a talent. I know you've put in work. Excellent representative for the JKD community of this generation. Great job and a very nice vid.-blessings2u
it's good to see another person who is being Inspired by Bruce Lee. Jeet Kune Do has it's base in Wing Chun but let's not get too excessive with the Wing Chun inside fighting. Bruce Lee also learned Gung Fu too so some of his movements is actually Chinese Kung Fu movements as well , not just Wing Chun wooden dummy movements. Some of Bruce's movements was like Tai Chi which is a big part of his fighting style, and he also moved and bounced around like a boxer or a fencer sometimes. He had a lot of rythm like a dancer and Bruce was just the complete package and I've still not found anyone who can emulate him 100%.
Glad to have trained with Octavio these past 7 years and with Jerry when I met him. Also happy to have met and trained with the people in the vid that have stayed committed or moved on in their training. It's great to see these videos being shared so that others can take on the principles and apply it in their daily lives to overcome their limitations in their process of transforming. Regardless of what art people take, it's there for us to evolve. No need to dominate each other. Just train.
Sifu Octavio - Thank you for sharing this. From start to finish the video is First Class. After watching you move I'm always inspired to train harder. You truly do "Keep the Flame Alive".
Hello Sifu Quintero, I remember watching your earlier 'Explosive Jeet Kune Do' videos many years ago when I was still very young. You've come a very long way since then! Great video.
Awesome! JKD. I hope to one day find a good instructor who is reasonable in tuition as well. I hear some of these guys talking about JKD doesn't produce good fighters. Here's the thing if JKD was into training fighters then they would have to teach them the rules. In Jeet Kune Do there are no rules the prize is you get to go home with your life and to your loved ones. This is all about WAR and survival. God Bless Sigung Bruce Lee's soul for this GREAT concept of self defense fighting.
Sifu Quintero, Quero Aprender Mais contigo, temos uma expectativa Brasil de não vermos Aulas on-line contigo ... Vamos Lá pense Nisso .. o Legado CONTINUA.
THE ONLY THING THAT IMPRESSES ME IS SEEING THE INSTRUCTOR SPAR WITH SOMEONE TRYING TO REALLY HIT HIM,INSTEAD OF THE TRICK SHOTS I SEE AT DEMOS....I NOTICE A LOT OF INSTRUCTORS LEAVE THAT PART OUT
The sad thing is most JKD instructors have no proper training when it comes to coaching fighters. Sure they can teach but just because you can teach doesn't mean you can produce fighters.
fighting is fighting,with or with out coaching.and the purpose of fighting is to stop that motivated attacker or attackers from doing you in,something martial artist forget,when they explain the martial arts to the public
what impresses me with this guy isn't how fast his punch is, or how fast his kicks are. It's how fast he can send either or out. 2 punches then kick then 5 punches then 3 kicks or whatever he's doing. He's just punching with his feet! lol
love those to-the-knee attacks - so simple but so effective. I fought this guy and did a straight punch/back leg to the knee combo - my punch missed and he clocked me in the face - but my to-the-knee kick hit at the same time as his punch - for a second I couldn't see (from the punch), but my kick connected so as I shook off the punch - I realized he went down(and stayed down) from the knee kick.
Would it be too much to ask. That we all just be positive towards each other. We all want to promote the art. So it would be nice. If we all worked together. While positively spreading the word on jkd.
Sorry to say it, but no jkd fighters will never win in a tournement with real fighters, because they're still limited to jkd, and when they fight, they fight for themselves and probably for the honor of Bruce Lee (limitation) in the mind too, and so they're doom to lose of that, because they're fighting with more aspects than the fight itself.............. "dont be a hater, just my opinion"
+ping pong using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation, because Sijo Bruce have no limitation & that is his limitation, JKD using everything that is possible to use in the body as a weapon with no limitation as that is oso the limitation in JKD to go into combative sport , that is y JKD can't be using for combative sport as combative sport have a lot more limitation then JKD as they are base on rule, bt well JKD is an endless evolutionist art, it depend whether JKD practitioner wanna evolve it or not, Sijo Bruce die young don't blame him, his training really ahead of his time, just blame the current JKD practitioner of stop evolving his art, I'm current learning original JKD in future i will evolve JKD into two way , first way true original JKD, second way incorporate all rule of combative sport modify original JKD to suit combative sport, bt the second way is just a marketing purpose to let people noe want original JKD is.
Dawadah is right about JKD not being a style. It is a philosophy. The essence of this philosophy is choosing what works for YOU, independently from the style. So at the end, no one can say that he's teaching JKD. This is a big misconception.
everybody i wanna ask what is actually of JKD? is it form or philosopy? i saw there were many man who claim their style is jkd but i saw different movement.
+Zain Iqbal a mixture of both i guess. but more on the philosopy style. to feel for the situation. But of course form comes with it. The "dancing" footwork, the short range multiple punches. Bruce didn't study multiple styles for just words
+Zain Iqbal It's both. There is two important legacy. The second legacy is closer to the philosophy than the form. In this second legacy you may find Dan Inosanto that integrated elements of Kali and just almost stopped to use the original form. The first legacy keeps elements of the original form called Jun Fan's Gung Fu (Jun Fan is the cantonese name of Bruce Lee) and brings it to a complete other level by keeping the philosophy of simplicity. The basic form is Jun Fan's Gung Fu but the influence of time, experience and simplicity is the Jeet Kune Do you can see in that video, the first legacy who is today really well represented by Octavio Quintero. You may also take a look to Tommy Carruthers(teaching of the last 2 years not the older one) and Paul Vunak. If sometime you watch MMA. Anderson Silva use influence of Jun Fan's Gung Fu and of course Jeet Kune Do in the way he fights. Watch the use of his low kick and how he protect or counter-attack with his left hand but keep in mind : MMA is a sport and Jeet Kune Do is self-defense.
Basically JKD is Wing Chun one must first learn and master the Chi in the forms and the drills in Wing Chun. Then then you can be free of Wing Chun and that's JKD. JKD is something you learn from your own self expression of Wing Chun.
JKD is NOT an art nor is it a style but simply a philosophy that was an expression of one man's experience by the name of Bruce Lee of which the foundations of this philosophy is from Wing Chun. JKD is nothing more than Bruce's expression of Wing Chun. Expressing self skills is something that is within the core of what Wing Chun teaches it's practitioners in the first place. Do not be fooled by the idea of JKD being a style or an art, this was something that Bruce never wanted nor intended to create. To create yet another style that can be boxed in. Whom ever teaches the idea or the notion that JKD is an art or a style by an of itself is selling nothing but a false idea.
To say there is no "art" aspect to JKD is to completely disregard all of the time and effort Bruce put in to studying martial arts as well as denying the philosophies and beliefs the Bruce proposed would make JKD work in the first place. Is there a philosophical side of JKD? Yes, but philosophy alone is not enough to win a battle.
Jadiel Alvelo I think you're caught in the worlds of arts and styles. This was exactly what Bruce was against. Read my prior comment again or I will repeat it again and you can argue this all you want but the fact remains, If you understood what wing chun truly teaches and stands for in it's core you would come to realize that it is everything that Bruce preached, taught, philosophized and expressed. What Bruce simply did was what Wing Chun taught him, to express one's way of fighting. The exception here is that he had to find it out on his own since his training in wing chun was incomplete and he didn't have anyone in U.S. at the time to elevate his training and understanding in Wing Chun. See, I'm not denying what Bruce philosophized, believed or worked on, I'm simply exposing the false notion that you think it was something different than WIng Chun and calling it JKD. Something that even he regretted doing in naming it JKD so people like you wouldn't latch on to another art or style.
Gabar-GCS JKD has always been about self expression While using effective techniques. Is it different than Wing Chun? Yes, of course it is. Does it make it any more or less affective? No. My point is that Bruce did in fact teach a way of fighting. Like it or not JKD has RULES. If you want to interpret this as you do than that's fine.
Jadiel Alvelo you keep arguing but FAIL to see even your own comments that leads to what exactly wing Chun is, A SELF EXPRESSION OF FIGHTING. And NO. it is not different than wing Chun. It is simply one mans expression of it. Stop trying to argue otherwise.
Gabar-GCS lol Wing Chunder way n is one of the most rigid martial arts in existence. If you deviate from its rule set then its no longer WC. JKD is a mix of WC, western boxing and western fencing. JKD and WC ARE NOT THE SAME. You should really do some research before talking out of your ass.
It's very nice to see JKD being represented by a talent. I know you've put in work. Excellent representative for the JKD community of this generation. Great job and a very nice vid.-blessings2u
Simple, Direct and Non-Classical. I think Bruce himself would be proud to see the essence of his art being carried on so well.
More videos on the way! Thank you for your continued support!

This is insane. Love your embodiment of the jkd spirit. The congruence of theory and application is dead on.
Keep posting videos amigo!
Excellent Octavio..!!!!!
Personally I like Octavio's videos more than any of the other Jeet Kune Do uploaders
Great practitioner, extremely explosive power and very direct and to the point
This video is by far the best I've ever seen on jeet kune do! Awesome Job Octavio! I hope to see more of you out there.
This dude's a machine!

Quiten , nice of him to make a video as a tribute to his teacher Jerry Poteet , he has the Poteet JKD flavoring within himself .
Awesome! JKD. I hope to one day find a good instructor who is reasonable in tuition as well. I hear some of these guys talking about JKD doesn't produce good fighters.

I always thinked that JKD is the way and not the art
what impresses me with this guy isn't how fast his punch is, or how fast his kicks are. It's how fast he can send either or out. 2 punches then kick then 5 punches then 3 kicks or whatever he's doing. He's just punching with his feet! lol
Great video thanks for uploading it.

His low kicks are impressiv
love those to-the-knee attacks - so simple but so effective. I fought this guy and did a straight punch/back leg to the knee combo - my punch missed and he clocked me in the face - but my to-the-knee kick hit at the same time as his punch - for a second I couldn't see (from the punch), but my kick connected so as I shook off the punch - I realized he went down(and stayed down) from the knee kick.

Would it be too much to ask. That we all just be positive towards each other. We all want to promote the art. So it would be nice. If we all worked together. While positively spreading the word on jkd.
I have some questions regarding the difference between JPJKD and Chris Kent jkd? Could i email you ?
Sorry to say it, but no jkd fighters will never win in a tournement with real fighters, because they're still limited to jkd, and when they fight, they fight for themselves and probably for the honor of Bruce Lee (limitation) in the mind too, and so they're doom to lose of that, because they're fighting with more aspects than the fight itself..............

So at the end, no one can say that he's teaching JKD. This is a big misconception.
WHAT IS THE DEFINITION of JEET TUNE DO??

You have videos titled I AM BRUCE LEE. All you do is try to live off a great Sifu's name. Claiming to be a master. Very saddening boy.
what's that? a wrestler! takedown! ...years of experience down the toilet... :(
what will a jeet kun do fighter do when he's A: getting kicked in the leg, muy thai style and B: gets taken down.
