Jeet Kune Do: Mastering The Pak Sao

Sifu Singh takes us on a deep dive into a common technique seen in Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do called the "Pak Sao".

"Pak Sao" is a term used in Wing Chun, a Chinese martial art. In Wing Chun, Pak Sao is a defensive hand technique commonly employed to deflect or redirect an opponent's attack. The term "Pak Sao" translates to "slapping hand" in Cantonese. The movement involves a quick and subtle slapping or parrying motion executed by the practitioner's hand, typically with the palm facing upward. This technique is effective in redirecting an incoming force, creating openings for counterattacks, or disrupting an opponent's balance. It is often used in close-quarters combat situations and is a fundamental element of Wing Chun's unique approach to self-defense.

Beautiful breakdown of this technique. Much respect!

Awesome! These guys look great, both awesome practitioners of Jeet Kune Do.
It’s great to see Bruce’s students helping with his Teaching, they understand it’s approved of by Bruce because they understand it’s not trying to be a Master of the only 2 Masters Art Bruce has founded, always.
They show great respect & have a great grasp of one of the many technique(s) of JKD here.
I see & sense great energy, great footwork, great health, happiness, & the outstanding health benefit of daily training in these two guys.

This video helps to illustrate the comprehensiveness of Bruce’s art, and the fact that it has so many aspects to it, it’s amazing how much Bruce thought of & worked at in self defense & in our Eternal Universal Defense.

The fact of just this short video covering mainly one technique of JKD & where it leads besides that one technique in this discussion etc. shows us how much is involved with JKD & why it’s so comprehensive.
It’s many things, but after watching this video besides that, the main thing I see & sense is “great good health” for these two guys….& self confidence they earned, ….things that make Master Bruce Lee very happy, always.

Bruce’s Martial Art carries on, thanks to his many good students, & approved helping work like this.
Thank you. ✌️😇❤️📀🔒🔐

The ending remarks of Sifu is just this young man joking around etc, always, for good reason(s), it’s funny and represented well, thanks.

Excellent. I'm 64 years of age in my 46th year of training, and I loved this. Very practical breakdown. Oos!

[bruceblackthorne]

Great analogy Trapping the feet and trapping into their center. I've never heard this explained like this before. Thank you for that. It makes total sense. 👌

[RAWWJUSTICE]

Love how you break it down in steps thanks guys

[onepoket]

It has been many years since I practiced any martial art. I don't know what it is, but I found this to be the most inspirational videos I have seen in a long time, maybe ever. Thank you.

*This is an amazing explanation! If I was in the U.S, I'd want to train at Sifu Singh's dojo! Thanks for this video*

Legit JKD technique. Flowing between different systems at the end was the clincher for me. Liked and subscribed

[AuthorKieranFox]

I love all your content and I subscribed to see more. I'm starting to take YT more seriously myself so I'll be on more often. Unfortunately as far as JKD I cannot afford physical lessons yet but hope to get better someday. Your instruction is probably the best I've seen as you break everything down for us!

[GrandpaSTORK]

Teacher, love the transition concept.

I've been training with two (self-made) bo staffs, as extensions of my hands and arms, where an entering, telescoping 'jab' (R), sets up a transition into an 'elbow' strike with the tail end:

Dragon Darts its Tongue
Dragon Whips its Tail

Concept combines Kali techniques with longer staffs

Really informative to see how you demonstrate the footwork to close the distance

I would love to have the image of this room as my wallpaper.

I came across this video very early in the morning and I am appreciating both the lesson as well as the vibe of this room, including that picture on the wall. It's cool.

[marsbase]

when I first saw this dude on the thumbnail, I thought it was Howie Mandel from about 15 years ago doing JKD, lol.

But seriously, this dude is awesome. Quick, fluent, effective and practical. Totally embracing the JKD philosophy and what Bruce was trying to bring to self defense. He would definitely be proud.

It would definitely be an honor to train with this dude. 👍😎👍

[sherimontes]

So many different ways..lots of practice! Thank you!

[hendetta]

This is a great representation of Jeet Kune Do concepts. Subbed.

[blissfelix]

we do the same think in southern mantis but never knew why, thank you for the explanation

[chrisspagnuolo]

I love how you have explained to apply the technique to multiple styles of martial art / box / wrestling /street this is what validates the technique!! I wish i could take your class God Bless

[scottrussell]

The simplicity in this technique is powerful… Love the breakdown and variations of Master Bruce’s bread and butter… Gives me a reason to train it and master it more now

[markteachsellers]

This is an excellent break down of the application of the Pak Sao.

[nickkatz]

I love Jeet Kune Do. It uses energy at such a deep, powerful, and mindful level. It has a spiritual and intellectual depth that I don't find in most other martial arts. And it 's so creative. It's an amazing system for actual real street fighting. Thank you for sharing your insight and skills.

[WreckingKrew]

WELL nice display of techniques in JEET KUNE DO.
