    none so i may be wrong but a few general fact are that fine motor skills (like trapping a moving hand) dosnt work in general unless your fighting someone far inferior then you. just look at any of the dog brother or other full contact stick fights and theres not really any trapping the same could be said for the clips i have seen of full contact wing chun (i havent seen any full contact jkd) i dont have anything against these arts but from what i have observed under pressure trapping isnt used. i have read also that alot of the jkd concept guys are dropping trapping in favour of clinching and that towards the end of his life so was bruce lee, i cant remember were i read this so i cant quote it.

    Ever thing works in every school, style, or technique,
    if it is used and excutied properly, no matter what it is.

    Using what works for you is the best no matter what it is,
    including the style, the school, or technique.

    And some things will never work for you, no matter how hard you try.

    Of course trapping works but you'll have the mma guys saying it doesn't. TMA techniques that have worked for hundreds of years still work but there are some mma guys that will say that these same techniques will not work.

    Trapping...Does it work?

    I practicing JKD and we train a lot of trapping, only when im sparring I dont trap or C anybody else do trapping.
    For me when im sparring its like...I Box and Kick, when Im to close ill try to get the opponent to the ground by wrestle and locking.

    My question is...Does Trapping really work in a real fight or even in sparring.

    Even when I see that Longbeach demo where you C Bruce spar...I dont see any trapping in his style..
Working...
