- Bruce Lee's JKD Speed Training.
Do you wanna get faster?
So I think as a martial arts artists
we always wanna be faster,
you also wanna be more powerful,
and Bruce, of course, is known for his speed,
but I think most really think of speed
as just the physical, movement speed.
Today we're gonna talk about the other kinds of speed.
How do you become faster?
So the first one Sifu is the perceptual speed, correct?
- Perceptual, and it's just by you moving that target
allows you to adjust and hit as needed.
And it's just gonna make you hit it rather than you waiting
or thinking about it and you hitting,
just immediately going to react to hit the target,
but at first, I just need you to wake up a little bit.
- That's good, that's good.
It's also kind of like in the movie,
Bruce talks about, you know,
I don't hit, it hits all by itself, right?
- Exactly, and that's where you wanna get to.
- So this particular drill, we are going to,
practicing Shane's perceptual speed.
It's very simple, I have a training buddy.
So I'm gonna just,
put it up, and he would just get it, that's it.
So he'll wait.
- You can get a little closer, little closer, okay.
Have your hands up, there you go,
and hit when ready, there you go.
Now when you hit, bring the hand back
as soon as you're done.
There you go.
(quick breath)
Little closer.
(quick breath)
There you go.
(quick breath)
- Now as a training buddy
I don't want to give my training partner
certain types of rhythm, cause then,
(mumbles)
then that's, that's, he's not practicing,
I'm not helping him, right.
So sometimes I might wait a few seconds, right,
so them I'm gonna do.
(quick breath)
Alright.
(quick breath)
And another thing that you can do is,
you can add complexity, right Sifu?
It can be just the punch or maybe add a front kick,
so it could be one of those two, right?
So you gotta see.
(quick breath)
- Good.
(quick breath)
- So that's perceptual and the second type of speed, Sifu?
- Well, I'll give you the sound,
and this time you do the kick and punch.
Same way, this time Dan's just gonna hold the target there,
and you're just gonna rely on me to move you.
Ready?
(clank) (quick breath)
(clank) (bang)
(clank) (quick breath)
- Very nice.
- And Bruce Lee, also I think used to do
when he was watching TV,
whenever there's a change in scenes
or different camera, different frame,
it would hit, it would do something.
So we can catch that, I do that from time to time,
that's why it definitely trains the reflexes.
- Oh absolutely.
- Yeah.
And Sifu there's a third type which we're not gonna cover
which is a tactile that is developed through
sensitivity drills, and gisou, obviously.
So that's our speed training.
Now you see in the beginning on this clip, also,
Sifu was hitting the clicker and then Shane was moving
around, that's in other types of training as well,
right, where you have a training partner,
when hear a sound so you can make a certain move.
It could be hitting something,
or it could be just foot work,
the principle is there,
it's the same principle,
training your perceptual speed,
how fast you read the opponent,
and then how fast we are to sound,
two types of speed.
I think if you incorporate these two into your training,
you find that you are faster, not necessarily physically,
you know, not necessarily moving faster,
but you become faster, right,
and your training buddy going
what the heck just happened to you, right?
