Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do 12/08/10

We had a look at the 1966 Jun Fan Gung Fu - Jeet Kune Do trapping progression.

We started with referance point positions, then how to use the Pak Da by capturing (3 ways).

We then look at some basic options off of the rear hand:

Bong Sao, Lop Sut, Gum Da
Lop Sao Gwa Choi
Loi Pak Da
Chung Choi to Loi Pak Da

remember if there is nothing to trap don't go looking for trapping. If you do its a good way to lose your teeth!


Trapping is a very effective skill to have remember points of contact & speed are essential.

Guro Rick Faye has told me many times that there are six basic reasons for trapping

1) Create an opening for hit
2) To use major tools (elbows & knees etc)
3) Use the oppoent force against them
4) To give advantage to the trained martial artist
5) Limit you oppoents offense
6) You'll end up there anyway

remember when all else fails keep it simple and make sure you work the basic skills in all areas.

Then the rest is all gravy!

Panantukan 12/08/10

Last night we worked the following drills

Salute (double cover) with female triangle footwork, remember lads don't step with the wrong foot or you'll give up your back.

Cover & hit drill basic - remember the we discussed how important the intial hit is and forward momentum, we then added secoh (elbow) to scoop and uppercut. This drill we worked off of both hooks in a flow drill.

Lastly we did a inside sumgab (finger jab) that fails and then disolved the pressure using a arm roll & added three basic traps.

We then took the above drills/concepts and worked them on the pads combining basic strikes & counters.

REMEMBER PANANTUKAN IS A BOXING ART SO SHADOW BOXING IS A MUST!!!

As Guro David Onuma has proved many times in sparring if you have good footwork & solid boxing skills then Panantukan is highly effective, don't get obsessed with having to many techniques secure the basics first!

Guro Rick Faye also says when your technique fails make sure you can knock em out!

Well done lads!
