- Bruce Lee's JKD five ways of attack part two, HIA,
Hand-Immobilizing Attack.
(upbeat music)
as you know, if you follow JKD, you follow Bruce Lee,
JKD's heavily influenced by Wing Chun
which has a lot of different trapping techniques.
This is basically trapping, but it's not just trapping
for the sake of trapping, it's when
you have some kind of obstacles in front of you,
so if the opponent, you see some kinda opening,
you can just attack with a simple angled attack,
which I showed you in the last video.
But let's say if the opponent,
there's something in front of him,
or maybe something in front of him,
it's sticking in front of your face,
you need to get rid of this, remove the obstacle.
So it's safe to go in otherwise, if I hit him
and he hit me, there's not good.
I wanna get rid of this first,
that's when HIA, Hand-Immobilizing Attack comes from.
So let me show you a very, very common one first.
The first one is, let's say the guy
is in this kind of position, right?
All we wanna do first, is to go into
kinda pretend you're bumping into him.
So give him a little bit of forward pressure.
Now see, strong guy, his hand,
just doesn't rock back, he would fight you back naturally.
Like, just like any human being right?
So, when he does that, when I feel the forward pressure,
I would turn and you can see where with the lap sao out.
And just do that.
So it would be, bump, turn, right.
Make sure I turn my body, I'm not doing this,
I'm not doing this.
Okay, I'm turning his body, look,
his weapon should be facing that direction
and then from here, I would do my lap sao and a back fist.
So I bump, turn, I wanna get rid of this,
I wanna make him off balanced first.
Watch, so if I'm here...
From here or could be the groin.
One more time.
Right.
Or here.
Right, from here.
One more time.
You want to bump into him, not like this,
not like a reach, you gotta give him some pressure.
As you turn, now, I'm not gonna do the lap sao.
I just wanna see the turn, watch.
Watch.
The turn, he should see this,
you should send him flying like this.
This is open, this is open, this is open.
But, you combine with this hand, you turn
from here or sometimes, you can do the lap
here, to the groin, back to here
and then from here, you can finish.
One more time.
So from here.
From here, from here.
That's one of the techniques that you can do.
Another one, maybe I have Jason
and Drake join us just to demonstrate.
Come here guys, so Jason's here,
he's doing the close up, right?
Drake, he's left handed, again,
JKD, strong foot forward right.
So he's left handed, so we left hand,
he would bump and then he would turn away,
we do it this way, so the camera can see.
Yeah, that's better, try that.
No, slow down, slow down, so,
just give him the movement, turn, very clean.
Don't worry about speed, get the mechanic right.
One more time.
Oh, okay, make sure when you're in immobilizing,
don't do it too high, okay.
Push down.
Harder.
See that.
Push down.
Right?
See this, don't do this, do this,
because you're using the elbow for this.
See, if I try to turn...
This is open, right?
And this.
So, elbow, it's pinning him.
See, on with this quad pointing to his center line.
Try that again.
It's a lot of details, very, very subtle.
That's why this move, it takes thousands and thousands
of repetitions and practice just to get this one right.
Push him, push him first.
Give him a couple of push.
Give him a couple of push, and then you do it.
Good, one more time.
Relax.
Relaxation is the key!
Now, Jason, feel his technique one more time.
One more time.
You feel there's a gap in between?
- Yes.
- There's an opening, right?
Feel, I do this very slow, it has nothing to do with speed.
Feel, right, feel.
There's no gap.
- There's a flow.
- Yeah, there's a constant pressure on him.
Not...
There's a moment of emptiness, that's what you don't want.
One more time.
So, this is also in Wing Chun or in JKD, sometimes
that it's described as closing in, you're closing the gap.
Using hand-immobilizing attacks
to immobilize the arm and boom, and then you go in.
One more time.
I can see it's not easy, it's not easy.
And you can also break it down as just the first attack,
just do this, practice just this part, this part
and then break it down into the second part, just do this.
And your partner, that's why you
gotta practice with a buddy right?
Some kind of training partner.
Jason can give me feedback.
Hey, Jason, am I turning good?
Am I turning too much or am I...
Do you feel the pressure.
Right?
He's telling me, okay, how about this,
that's too loose right?
So he's telling me this.
So, this along, right?
He should feel, that his stuff is pointing that way, right?
Right?
One more time, here, here, here.
And then of course, groin.
Right?
Right there.
Now, another one, Wei Shen in.
So they are doing this.
Right?
Another one, let's say someone fights like this.
Right?
This is sticking in front of you,
you would do a simple Pak Sao and then you go in like that.
One more time, so do a Pak Sao.
Now, this comes underneath, not here, not here,
it's underneath, I want him to rock backward.
Right, so, it'll look something like that.
Okay, one more time.
So see the distance I have, it's pretty far, right?
From here, right?
It'll look something like that, just like that.
Here, here, hand-immobilizing attack.
At first, you wanna just get down the hand movement.
Now, for the footwork, obviously, it's extremely critical.
So it's simple as a simple shuffle.
Right, see here, this.
And this I cover extensively in a JKD footwork video.
But here, you're going in.
Just like that.
You want to imagine, this guy's, his center line is here,
imagine there's a string from his top.
This is to his bottom, this is the spot.
You wanna go through here.
That's where the pressure comes in.
So, if I visualize it, if I visualize it.
If I stop at this point, here's what it looks like.
Okay?
But if I visualize, I wanna stop at,
I wanna go through him, go through him, right?
See, if I wanna go through him.
I wanna take his spot, that's where the footwork comes in,
so like this, no hand, just footwork,
no hitting, just footwork, watch.
Hand.
Watch.
See that?
Penetration.
And that's why, it's so freaking difficult
because it takes so much courage to say this is this guy,
I want to be all in, all committed and just go
cause if I do it wrong, it'll become like this.
It'll become like that, right?
But you're saying this guy, as soon as he puts up his hand.
That's what makes it work, that's what makes it work, right?
Try again.
You guys can come in.
So footwork, your hand, try that.
Now, he would be doing more like this.
Cause this would be a different technique
so he's sticking this as a face right.
Not a punch, but it's like, yes.
Yes.
Slow...
Yeah.
Yeah, good, take it slow.
And not too close, give yourself
a little bit distance right.
So I can't touch him, I need to
take a step right, to touch him.
Good, one more time.
Yeah.
Good.
Now, as you get better, then you can
widen the gap even more, so give a little more distance,
you see it's harder.
Alright, you see how it takes courage
to like, do I go in, do I not go in?
Totally calm, relax, boom, go in.
Yes, right.
One more time.
Nice, one more time.
Right, if you just take your time, relax, right.
See that?
Take your time, he should feel, what the hell,
that's what he should feel like.
He should not be like this.
He's not afraid.
Suddenly, he's feel like a tank.
And imagine your footwork now, my footwork goes back to,
I can go in here, you can see that,
you can see the camera, I can go here.
I personally, usually like to go.
Because with Jason's hand, notice,
if you can see, a little bit,
his right hand is actually not in the center,
it's a little bit off to the right.
That's why there's so many combinations,
that's why the hand-immobilizing attack,
what if he's like this, what if he's like this,
there's so many variations to close the opponent.
Today I'm only going to show you two,
but let's say you talk about this way,
there's a gap in the middle, I prefer
to go in with my foot in the back.
One more time.
So, not like this, cause I don't like this.
I prefer to be like this, cause this is a take down.
That's why, you can see the pressure's on him
and he's off balanced.
Right, I'm hitting him a couple of times
and then you can take him down.
So there you go, that's HIA, hand-immobilizing attack.
Some of you might be asking me,
Dan, why are you making these martial arts videos?
Usually, as you can see, I'm
an entrepreneur, I'm a businessman.
And you watch my other business video,
you'll see a little bit of what I do and
the business I'm in and what I do for a, "living"
the reason that I'm making these videos
is not to make money, I don't
make money making these videos.
It's simply to show my respect to Ted Wong and to Bruce Lee.
I'm a huge fan of Bruce Lee, as I see
there's so many different martial arts video on YouTube
and so many JKD videos on YouTube
and I just see that JKD gets misrepresented.
And it doesn't feel good to me
and that's why I wanna make these videos
and show my passion and just to show my respect to
be able to contribute and do a little bit of my part
in my spare time like this, to preserve
and to perpetuate Bruce Lee's legacy and to protect his art.
That's why I'm doing this, okay.
But if you wanna watch my other business videos
and see what I'm about and see what I do,
that's what I actually do for a living,
you can also watch those other videos as well,
which we have hundreds and hundreds of them.
So, it doesn't matter how you found out about me,
about Dan Lok, maybe it's through martial arts video,
maybe it's through business videos,
maybe you're only interested in
how to be more successful or how to make more money,
and how to make more freedom, and let's say you know,
I'm not interested in this martial arts stuff,
what I could tell you is this,
that everything I do in my business,
a lot of business philosophies,
I learned there from martial art.
A lot of philosophies I learned, they're from Bruce Lee,
that I took those ideas and principles
and apply it into my life, into my business.
Vice versa, a lot of business stuff I do
are transferred out to martial arts as well.
So, this is my channel, this is just what I do, my passion,
my work, what I'm about, so don't be so set into,
I only watch the business stuff
or I only watch the martial art stuff.
If you truly wanna learn from me,
I think it's healthy, it's better you can an overall
picture, hey, even if you're not interested in martial arts,
I think you'll find it entertaining as well.
