How to Apply Wing Chun Trapping into Boxing | Jeet Kune Do Concepts

How to apply Wing Chun trapping into boxing?

There are a lot of ways to make Wing Chun trapping work in different settings. Although most of the traditional Wing Chun practitioners do not practice boxing, I found trapping quite usefully in boxing if you understand the concept and practice a lot with it.

In this video, we will be going over a few of my favorite ways to implement Wing Chun trapping into my sparring game and how to practice with a partner!

Let me know what you think of it in the comment section below!

Finally a guy who can throw a jab and retracts. In stead of all these video's where the attacker jabs and keeps his arm hanging giving the "teacher" the opportunity to do all kinds of fancy things.
Great content and well explained.

Never studied wing chun but I use a lot of wing chun tips in my sparring and this is one of them, it's very effective.
I've found out that a lot of wing chun punches and systems work well when in motion and you spot a quick opening and want to place a sneaky punch. So if you are getting pressed, if you are slipping or dodging.

Only 6k subscribers? This channel is underrated. Wing Chun and JKD are the best encyclopedias for hand trapping. Thank you for this gem sir.

“Opponent will hit at the head’s last known location”. That is a revelatory idea to me. Thank you!

This instructor has been well trained and is showing some great techniques. I will give a caveat as a JKD instructor who was trained under Two Bruce Lee students and a well known Back yard student for 16 years; I did fight Muy Thai and was a boxing Gym rat up until I was 50 years old. I sparred with national level fighters quite often. Yes, JKD saved me in many gyms, BUT, a lot of stuff just doesn't work on good fighters. The reason, is that you can train those cool intercepting or following moves and even make them work with your training partners. However Good fighters will not be there when you go to counter and will be angling and hitting you before you can get off. Or they will use counter time, (feinting to draw your interception, then countering you, ) etc... Not that JKD doesn't work, It just doesn't work as well when your opponents are good. My advice if you want your JKD to be the best it can be is to spar HARD after training techniques, and, (this is very important, ) Find other GOOD fighters to spar against. Find a Muy Thai, mma and Boxing gym with fighters who have lots of fights. Now try your stuff. This will make you much better and will show you what really works.

Boxer Roberto Duran had a style that many have said looks like it was influenced by wing chun. He was an amazing inside-fighter.

Kevin is an over all amazing martial artist. His lineage is world class, he works hard and most importantly he is a very good human being and is always willing to help. We think the world of him, and we are so proud of the growth Kevin has worked so hard to achieve. I forecast him to develop into a world class martial artist himself.

I boxed for years and recently got into wing chun because fighting without gloves is a different beast

[tyrelljeffries]

I discovered approximately a week ago that Boxing has its own trapping techniques which are described as "pinning" and are done with the forearms as opposed to the palms like Wing Chun! Will try to find the link.

You see trapping in UFC regularly, not from a strict wing Chun perspective, but functionally the same strategy.

[shak]

Well done Kevin Lee you explain very nicely you understand the science of self defense and counter attack really well.

[MikeB]

So trapping in boxing is called holding and definitely illegal, if you're doing the first 2 tips you're going to need to keep the arm on the outside of your glove to avoid that.

The 3rd tip is literally a jab parry, it's a perfectly good technique also taught in boxing so that works pretty well. That one is great advice.

I deleted the tiktok app because I prefer to watch longer videos instead of 60 second ones. I'm glad these are here. I subscribed. Thanks. I always enjoy learning from you because it's less talk and more action. I hate it when the trainer talks for 7 minutes before action. So boring I usually move on to the next. Keep up the great work.

Love it! Thank you for more variables to counter jabs and crosses.

Cool stuff. Slip and counter is a basic boxing move, but I really like how parrying is taught here, I will try that little finger flick next time I’m sparring (boxing that is). I’ve made some other stuff of Kevin’s work before.

Problem is that often people parry with these huge movements slamming the hand down, which is way too slow and leaves you open especially if they feint. That finger flick keeps the hand still in guard, so even if they fool you with a feint you’re safe. It’s really hard to get rid off this mental image that you need this massive movement (I’ve seen JKD people do those as well, so I don’t think it’s always taught like this there either).

In terms of Wing Chun working in boxing.. I never trained any Chinese arts and I can watch a video and make that stuff work based on what I know from boxing. It’s just Chinese boxing and not too different from the old style of English Pugilism. Boxing works in boxing, who would have guessed? But it gets shitty rep bc of all the movies, mysticism and sometimes blatantly racist orientalism. It’s not flying dragon fighting monkey magic woo woo, it’s just a way to parry, slip and counter.

Great work! Some excellent sparing tips here! Thank you.

[collinjkd]

Great stuff Kevin - I appreciate your critical thinking approach to adapting trapping skills vs. modern boxing. I agree that head movement and footwork are key, as well as knowing which punch is likely to come next. Looking forward to the next video!

[danieltiller]

Kevin overall you have a great Channel and post good content.

I’m a BJJ blackbelt and did Wing Chun for 5-6 years. I just don’t see trapping working in a real fight. People just step away/rotate or clinch - it only works as a compliant drill.

[ddonlee]

First time watching your tutorial . You are a great teacher and your combo drills are so good in a real fight . TX

[rickgrayston]

Met you at a seminar, so glad you have this resource. Thank you for the content, I will drill this for sure.
