Welcome to another Jeet Kune Do video. Today we're going to talk about the
Jeet Kune Do trapping technique. Now in -- for trapping is a very important part that
Jeet Kune Do and today I have two training partners joining me Jason and Shin. You can see
very muscular. Alright strong guy. So I'll show you
one of the most common techniques in Jeet Kune Do you see it in Bruce Lee's
movie Enter the Dragon. Which is the Pak Sao which means the slapping hand.
Now first of all let's talk about trapping in general. How -- why we trap and
how does this work and sometimes see all these Wing Chun guys on YouTube they do
all these techniques like. Is that actually fighting? Let me emphasize. First
of all when we do any kind of trapping we're not trying to fight -- that's not how
we fight. It's a drill designed to to train your sensitivity. Because there are
three kinds of reflexes in Jeet Kune Do. You have auditorial. So you hear something you
move. Your visual and tactile. So this is for tactile we're training because
tactile is the fastest. When we touch something we want to be able to move.
That's what the drill designed to do. So do it again and again and that's what it
does. So for Pak Sao we're going to start with a reference point for
beginners we usually train with a touch. So some kind of touch point later on
I'll show you a little bit will be non touch. But for now we will touch and the
whole idea is we're going to slap the hand by here the elbow. We want to
control the arm. Immobilize it so there's an opening and then we hit. The idea is
not we don't go in the fight and look for this. It's when we try to hit and
that guy blocks and this right there there's an obstacle now I want to do
something about it right. So what you don't want to do you don't want to trap
here because what happens if I trap here Jason's gonna elbow me. See that? So I'll
do it faster elbow me fast boom you see that. So you're not trapping the wrist.
You want to trap the elbow. Now I don't want to go down either come another
common mistake if I go down, Jason is going to do a Jao Sao
right here. Right watch see that? One
more time. See that? I'm helping him give more
momentum to hit me. Not good. So what you want to do you want
control center line elbow in move the guy and there's an opening and the key is
you want to minimize the motion. Although you see in Enter the Dragon Bruce does this
right. It looks very good on camera this is for camera. But you actually
don't want to do that because this gives yourself wide open and Bruce Lee is
damn fucking fast so he can do whatever he wants.
Normal people like us trap here nice and safe and I want to move -- I want to
trap the guy. I wanna chop the body. I don't just want to trap the hand. I want
to move the guy and here, I can hit here. I can hit. Okay you try Jason. I'll show
you around. Okay good. Trap this way. Yes yes, touch touch, take your time, take
your time. Yeah trap, good and Shin do a couple. Nice
see nice form right there and see how Shin moves the body. Very nice try again
yeah and if you're good later on you will trap here but also
here. You're protecting yourself in cases of some kind of groin kick right. Yeah so
if I've trapped this way -- boom thank you very much. Now
try to kick. You can't. Actually we if you're
good this is this is actually an attack too. Like so I go in see how the shock the
system from here. So imagine when you're trapping when you're practicing to go in
with full force. Don't hit the guy because your training
partner but with intention of going in. So don't practice like half-ass and then
you do it. You do it, you do it, you do it no no so look let's feel my intention
that killer instinct got to turn it on. So so although I don't use full power but
my intention is -- right see there's difference in the intensity. Right you
try no no try -- try this way. Yes
better. Try again yeah and you did this as you're practicing with the partner
don't be so loose but this is not what it is.
Still point finger point to the centerline -- we're reference point right
like that. Not like thism not like this,
reference center line and then you go in. Yes then I go in from here. See how it's
very minimal. From here, from here that's it so make sure don't push I don't push
down into his centerline and you move and if you add some body power right.
That's how it works. So that's the Pak Sao. Jeet Kune Do technique practice well
practice often. You like this video leave a comment below subscribe and I'll see
