JKD-related Trapping terms

[Bystander]

Lap Sao, Bong Sao, Pak... these are terms I have heard in my currently beginner training in JKD-related philosphies under a Jun Fan and kickboxing context. I've been doing drills that go over various concepts that have names... but I don't know their names, and my instructor doesn't know some of their names, either. The ones that he does know, I have read on various posts here and there on this JKD forum.

This is a longshot, but I might not be alone in this... Does anybody know where I can find out what names go with what movements? Might anybody be willing to post them here in this thread so that I can call them by their proper names instead of calling it "that twisting thing where your elbow pushes down and ends in a backfist".

I know it is not going to be easy to put these intricate motions into words in this forum for others to learn, and possibly misinterpret, but I accept the risk, and know that this is a good start... better than nothing. My point in all this is that... I want to know the terms that go with the movements that I have been learning.

Hi,

I don't know if this is what you are looking for. If the proper terminology is important to you, then I strongly suggest that you find a JKD instructor that knows...well, JKD. I am not saying that this is the case with your instructor, but I always hear that the people that don't know the terminology, either don't care about it (which is cool) or are just making things up as they go along.

It is near impossible to train in a JKD school without knowing most, if not all, of these terms.

Anyway, hope it helps,

BIG Sean Madigan

Thank you soooo much!!! This is exactly what I wanted. The philosophy of Jeet Kune Do appeals to me greatly, and I do hope to grow in that direction as a martial artist given time and dedication. My choice of instructors is extremely limited where I live. I'm trying to find my own path with what I have available to me now. This board helps. Thanks.

Hi,

If you are into Wing Chun Kuen as well, here is Sil Lim Tau written out step by step. It's not "JKD" but some folks find it helpful.

All the best,

Oakland Curriculum



Salutation
2. Kicking Drills:

Five corner kicking: alternating kicks between left and right foot.
Five corner kicking: from low to high.
Clockwork kicking: real-time kicking with the closest weapon.
Combination clockwork kicking & hitting: advanced.
Key: real-time, no hesitation, closest weapon to closest target.

Stance: Bi jong
Lead stance: shuffle, front, rear, side.
Form is the essence, balanced, smooth, feet stay on the ground, (skating)
Strictly lower body movements: each movement is independent.
Comfortable and alive, natural bounce, not rigid or stiff with hops or jumps.
Shuffle to various strikes and kicks.
Key: be alive and comfortable.

Evasive Maneuvers
Evade various strikes (some exaggerated to make easier)
Evade various kicks.
Evade various combinations of strikes and kicks.
Minimal movement to make opponent miss.
Know what position and distance is safe for you.
Individualize and adapt to the size and reach of the opponent.
Evade and counter: after learning the above.
Keys: Better to miss by an inch then to block by a mile.

To block is to get hit.
Don't engage the opponent, disengage him.
(e.g. don't tangle yourself in blocking and trapping movements)

The whole idea is to intercept his physical and emotional intent to hurt you.
Classical versus the New (modern)
Sil lim tao: performed the classical way.
Regarding trapping: cut the movement in half for realism.
Concentrate on speed and economy.
Key: economy of motion, efficiency.

Hook punch: closer to the body then a boxer.
Elbow next to the rib, much tighter and compact.
Key: centerline theory (from the center, not outside or wide).

Take the skin (or paint) off of your ribs.
Rear heel kick: tighter, more centered.
Key: Take the skin (or paint) off the inside of your legs.

Separate punching drills:
Centerline punching (rapid): straight-line blast with closing footwork.
Separate kicking drills
- Two Aspects for improved kicking:

Power: Water in the hose analogy for transfer of force through target.
Speed: Whip analogy for speed of recovery:
(e.g. shoe laces pop, kicking a gnat out of the air)

Combine, blend power with speed drills, make adjustments.
Keys: Delivery system - instant, fast relaxed.

Hand before foot
Non-telegraphic (no pre-steps or stutter steps)(for punching: no flinching)
Complete emphasis on speed and economy of motion.
The less you move the better.
Clean and sharp as a two edged sword, pure Chinese Kung-Fu.
Power comes with time, sometimes years; on the spot power.
Speed comes with accuracy.
Proper form and body alignment with balance.
Footwork is supposed to be light and easy, not jumping around stiff, but relaxed and smooth without deliberation, angular and instant.


Basic Trapping.
Pak sao
Lop sao
Gong sao
Jut sao
Tan sao
Bong sao
Economy of motion: cut these movements in half.
One hand trap

Key: Trapping is only a by-product.

Hit, hit and more hit: not trap, trap and then hit.
While engaging an opponent, if there's emptiness…Hit.
Skim and glide with friction but let the Chi flow.
Line drills (Quiet awareness)
Sensitivity: Touch vs. Non-Touch.
Distance: Measure your distance
Safe
No man's land
Gates, body positions, and zones
Key: Put yourself where you're safe and the opponent is not.

Circle to the outside of the strong side, away from rear hand.
Immobilize the lead leg or hand, after you hit, not before.
Practice Drills
Attack and defense.
Key: Stun him first, before obstruction, to break his rhythm or forward momentum.

Strikes to traps
Kicks to traps
Bridging the gap

Using the stop-kick as a jab as you incorporate it in footwork
(e.g. be loose, fluid, Ali-like)

Burning Step: hand to foot impetus.
The pendulum: avoidance then following back swiftly and instantaneously.
Basic and primary goal: Each student must find his own
Identifying the tools
Using the tools
Sharpening the tools
Dissolving the tools

[PentjackSilat]

I always knew the vertical fist as Chun Choi,
and multiple verticle fists as Jik Chun Choi.
I also think that
Jon Sao=Palm Sideways Deflection
and
Biu Sao=Palm Down Deflection
were missed.
