- Oh!
- Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

Bruce Lee's jeet kune do, the hook kick.
As you can see, we're moving back to my basement,
my home here.
It gets too freaking cold outside.
And after accidentally kicked Shin in the nuts
so we need to, he needs some time to recover.
So the hook kick.
Now I've showed you the inverted hook kick
in the other videos.
You can click on the "i" button,
if you wanna see the other videos that what I've done.
With the hook kick, it's very very similar idea
from your JKD stance.
Instead of inverted hook kick,
it's this way.
Now how is the JKD hook kick different from other styles
such as a tae kwon do kick or even a tai kick?
The JKD hook kick, instead of going from the side.
So you think about high kick,
very often, it would kick through the opponent,
which is extremely powerful.
Right?
But the JKD hook kick is just coming up from here.
Not from horizontal line but going up here.
You can see a lot of JKD stuff is pretty sticky.
It's a lot of Chinese philosophies about
hiding your intention.
It's about being sneaky.
It's about protecting yourself not getting hit.
So JD hook kick coming from the side like that.
I don't turn as much.
Like that.
And I just kick.
You can kick with your toe.
You can kick with your instep.
Right there.
Depends on where the opponent is.
And usually we're aiming at their groin.
And make sure when you kick,
let me demonstrate on the side.
Let's say we're doing a pen drum step,
that you want to turn,
you can see my shoes here.
So take a look.
Make sure you look at my feet.
You're turning.
So if I'm here, you're turning like that.
From here, you're turning like that.
From here, turning, and then you kick.
From here, you're turning, and you kick.
Now let me just demonstrate on a pad
so you see what it looks like.
So the hook kick comes in up.
Comes in here and just kick, right there.
Now to practice, make sure the motion,
although we're coming up this way,
but at last second of it you are turning your hip.
Okay, so last second of it, you are turning your hip.
Its like almost, that kind of motion.
Like this.
Okay.
So watch.
So from here, up, turn.
Look something like this.
From here.
So, from here, boom.
Right, yeah.
From here, where to go.
One more time.
Yeah.
So make sure, again Jason, turn your left,
turn your left foot, turn it in.
Yes, almost your toes should be pointing that direction.
That's how much you should turn.
Yes.
And kick it in.
Yeah, just kick.
Let it up.
Don't hold back, snap.
Yes.
And kick with your instep.
You can kick with your shin too,
depends on the situation.
So you should hear a agh, snap!
- So foot like?
- Yes.
- I keep getting the shin.
- Good.
And once you're good, you see that, sometimes in JKD,
you're doing your punch right,
but here you can kick,
here, you can kick here, you can also kick the face as well.
So that's different.
Its all same hook kick but its different variations.
Sometimes you might kick here.
Sometimes you might could be a whip.
Right, and then you can go from here.
So that, you can use that too.
So many many ways you can use the hook kick.
The important thing is timing.
Your hip motion, that's what gives you the power.
So we don't need as much distance,
we have a lot of power.
Because its not a,
look at a tai kick is much more like a chop down tree.
This is a snap but its got a very powerful whip at the end.
Right and also we're usually aiming at the groin.
So you don't need a lot of power.
Although you do generate a lot of power.
You can feel that from your hands.
But it's a lot harder because you're practicing that
hip motion and it takes a lot of practice to get it
corrected and get it done well.
So practice the technique.
