- Bruce Lee JKD, the corkscrew punch.
Now this is one of those punches
that again I learned from Ted Wong.
It's also one of Ted's favorite techniques.
(upbeat music)
In the last video I showed you the shovel hook.
Now this one is a little bit interesting.
According to Bruce Lee, strictly speaking
that the corkscrew punch is exactly,
the corkscrew hook like the straight punch
but the last minute you would turn your wrist.
And there's a little snap just like that.
The last minute, so just like a straight lead
going straight forward right last minute
you would turn just like that,
and it would hit with these three knuckles.
Now you can see on Drakes body
if this is throwing in this way
suddenly when you turn it gives you that extra
momentum just like that like just like that.
So you can see.
So it's not a hook punch.
It's not a shovel hook.
Corkscrew like that.
Just like your screwing something in.
Imagine like screwing something in, screwing something.
Now what most people get it wrong
is when they throw the punch they turn too early.
So they turn too early it becomes like this.
That's wrong.
You see how much opening I have?
So I turn too early, that's no good.
You want to go this way and the last minute boom.
Last minute boom.
So your whole power comes from here
almost touching the contact, just before contact
boom and you turn, you just turn now.
For demonstration the way that you can apply this technique
is number one let's say through the pak sao.
So pak sao we have here you can hit right obviously.
But also you can also hit underneath.
But you can also hit with a corkscrew punch just like this.
Now imagine the punch is coming through this way.
From here look at my body, this is all loaded.
Right from here, from here poom, poom.
You can see that, now see not like this, like this.
Right okay again, from here see.
And use your body mechanics boom.
Now it could be also this way you can see sometimes
boxer does it he holds a punch by going this way.
Where then is throwing the corkscrew like so, like so.
Let me show you this way,
this angle so you can see me there.
Alright left hand, so it's here, this.
So also you can see this.
He can still hit me right?
See this blocks it right.
So there like that right, you see that?
So if I'm here I'm going in just like that.
Again boom, see it's natural this is a natural block.
Now obviously he's got to to watch for this one.
Now in this video I'm not gonna cover that.
But for now just understand this technique.
Or you see other people when they throw a punch
they actually throw it here.
See that?
From here to here so it's a very sneaky punch.
Either kind of through this way.
You can see the angle is not quite expected
'cause his eye level is, this he can see coming.
But this he doesn't see as much
and that he doesn't see as much.
Or also outside obviously right there, right there.
And you put your body when you throw
so put your body into it, you put your body into it.
The corkscrew punch just like that.
Okay now Drake I'm gonna hold a pad for him.
And he's gonna try a couple.
I'll put it this way then.
Okay try that.
(upbeat music)
Relax a bit more.
Now turned a little bit too quick.
Just straight, straight, last minute.
Yeah try that.
Better.
Nice.
Good one more time.
Again make sure Drake your head don't turn.
Focus on this.
Yeah.
Good, one more time.
One more time.
Now as you can see it's not so easy to generate power.
It takes a lot of practice just to do the snap.
What you want to do sometimes is break down the movement.
So for now maybe just in the beginning
just practice the straight lead
and then practice just the last turn.
So don't go from, go from here just almost there.
And just last minute, just do practice this movement.
Get this right first.
Make sure there's a snap right, boom boom right.
So not (whining) last minute just leave it.
So you turn.
You get that snap.
And then you learn to snap your hip.
The last moment, do that first.
When you get used to it then
you put the whole thing together.
And this should protect the chin.
You shouldn't punch this way.
See how my chin's wide open, see?
One more time.
From here look at me, from here, hand here.
See how it's protected?
That's what it should look like.
Not like this, not like this, not like this, like this.
You can see.
There you go.
So that's the Bruce Lee JKD, corkscrew hook punch.
