(imitating punching)
- How to defend someone pushing you.
Now that's a very, very common thing in North America,
two guys getting into some kind of argument.
Hey, what the fuck, what the fuck man, dude.
You see this a lot, and they talk like this,
and they talk like this, what the fuck.
Very, very common.
So how do you defend against someone that's pushing you?
First of all, knowing in Jeet Kune Do, in JKD,
Bruce's philosophy is we believe in a no man's land.
Meaning if someone is close enough to reach us,
we don't wait, we always strike first.
We hit first, we hit hard, and we hit last.
That's the basic principle of JKD.
We don't wait someone until this,
oh you pushed me and I push you back and you push me.
We don't want that because if Jason can touch me
with his hand, it means he can also what?
Punch me on the face.
He can also grab and also punch me at the same time.
So it's very, very dangerous.
So let me talk about the distance first,
then I'm gonna show you the technique.
So take a few steps back, Jason.
So just to give you an idea on distance,
this, this is red light.
I'm safe, you're safe, we're arguing,
hey, what the fuck man.
You come forward slowly.
Hey man, I don't want any trouble,
I don't want any trouble.
So, okay from there, I want you here.
Take a step back.
This is red light.
Take a little bit closer, little bit closer.
This is yellow.
Little bit closer.
This is green.
It means if he's get this close,
either you hit or you go home,
or you keep some kind of distance.
So let's go, take a few steps back.
Stay slowly moving forward.
I don't want any trouble, I don't want any trouble.
See I'm keeping him outside, still green light, right?
No, still red light, like, we're not,
as soon as he gets a little bit closer, boom.
Now it's a go.
Just knowing that philosophy first.
Okay so how do you defend someone against pushing you?
Let's say we're having an issue, and he comes closer,
you don't wait and you just strike.
Okay, slow.
So he comes close.
High jab.
You hit already.
You don't wait.
Now, let's say he caught you by surprise.
Someone catches you by surprise
and he actually gets this close and he is pushing you.
The easiest technique from Wing Chun,
which is this technique, right?
You can see it from the certain power, right?
So as he push, see this?
You go up.
My energy is not this, it's to him.
Slowly.
From here, this either to the throat or to the eyes.
And you can see this, this thumb, this is an attack.
To the eyes, and then, you see how the throat is open?
Then finish the guy.
Now, if you really wanna hurt, you can hit throat.
If you don't really wanna hurt the guy,
you can just hit the chest, that's okay.
It will stop the guy.
So Jason, push.
Stop from here, straight from here, through from there.
One more time.
From here, open, and there.
And they will leave you alone.
So that's the very simple way,
or sometimes he might get a little closer,
like almost like that.
You can see now my punching is a bit too close.
This is a little bit too close, right?
So, see where is his open?
The groin is open, the throat is still open,
but it's a little bit too close.
Little bit close, too close, right?
So this kinda stuff, same idea.
Don't change the technique.
But my punching, you see?
Not as effective 'cause I'm a bit too close.
So now, this kinda stuff comes into play,
this kinda stuff comes into play,
and this kinda stuff comes into play.
So let's say Jason got a little bit closer,
right, like that.
Same idea, from here, see that?
Boom, boom, boom.
Like that.
Very simple.
One more time.
He grabs, from here, boom, boom,
and then get back your distance.
So that's the easiest way how to defend
someone pushing you.
It's very, very simple.
I don't want any trouble, he comes forward,
I don't want any trouble.
Now it's go.
As he push, right, from here, there's an opening,
or if he's really too close still,
from here, boom, right there.
Important tip, make sure angle, your stance is strong,
it's a triangle going in, not like this.
And the energy's going that way, not up,
'cause I wanna knock the guy back.
From here, so all the power goes to the side,
and then his head is right here, you do your thing.
Thumb into the eyes and then just straight blast.
That's it.
Yeah, and Jason, you give it a try.
The force is not a, it feels like a push,
but you push, it's not a, push.
It's not this.
Okay, push again.
It's-- - up, like that.
- It's boom, like that.
Try again.
Push me.
No, yeah, push up.
- Oh, like this. - Yes.
So, boom.
You knock out the guy.
It's a hit.
Yes.
Make sure the energy's moving that way, not up.
- Angle like that, right?
- Up.
So, like that.
But watch out the footwork, the balance.
Now see how you're pushing him?
But he's stronger.
Right, try again.
See how it's, right?
So it's like a triangle, right?
- Triangle up.
- Yeah, it's like a triangle.
Yes.
Try again.
Don't push him back, because that's one beat.
- It's true, I'm not getting enough--
- 'Cause he is right there, right?
He push, he's right there.
Why are you push him away?
He is right there.
Thank you very much.
This, right? - That's right.
- It's right there.
So see how he stays?
Make him stay.
He's already in your space, right?
So he push, you see, it's how you slice the power.
Push harder, push hard.
Oh, this is nice, this is nice, right?
This is very nice, right?
One more time.
Take your time, take your time.
And if you want a little bit more power, he push,
he push, from here, see look at my foot.
See here?
See how I push down?
Use this, push him up.
So this, right, from here actually push him up
using the whole body.
Like how you lift something,
like you try to push a heavy stone.
Just shove him, boom, like that.
You shove the guy.
And then this is all open.
