Heavy Sparring Jeet Kune Do Fighter

I was invited out to do a seminar and for the first time, I got to spar Jeet Kune Do fighters! In this video, I spar one of their top fighters and instructors, Teddy.

I am no longer affiliated with this gym. For those who are interested in visiting me while im in NYC, you can find me at Glory Martial Arts Centre in Bay Ridge!

This is how sparring should be, no exaggerated aggression, no spite, no complaints just pure skill, power and respect. Bruce would be proud

[pingislife]

You guys went hard at times, but also controlled things when you realized that the other wasn't expecting a shot. Thank you guys for showing us some high level martial arts.

I lived in a sober living in California for about a year and some change. I had a housemate; an older gentleman name Ed. Ed trained Jeet Kune Do when he was younger and I have some experience kick boxing/mma. I tell you, sparring with Ed was a different experience than I was used to and he put some hurt on me! Ed recently passed away and hanging out with him while he was in the hospital was bittersweet and I'm just grateful I got to see him before he died. He was the homie for sure.

Rest in Peace Edward. Love you brother. I can't wait to kick it again.

Just want to add, I was at Jeff's seminar where these sparring rounds took place.

He isn't just a great fighter, he is also an incredible martial arts coach and teacher.

The guy spent 6 hours training students, giving live demonstrations, and breakdown techniques, and afterwards went right into sparring!

I think he took a water break and that was pretty much it!

JKD represented how it should be: as a WAY and not a STYLE. I’ve trained JKD for 6 years and it’s all about using the teachings available to create your own art. Phenomenal sparring here, loved it 👍🏻

[MaxwellReviresco]

Coming from someone who has trained, there is many things I can compliment you guys on, but one really stands out to me. That you guys are going hard while totally going soft at the same time. That level of control is so hard to find in a good sparring partner! To know you're a bad ass & capable of hurting someone, but to cage that ego, while during sparring nonetheless is even harder to find. Take note folks, this is how you spar! 🙏🥋🔥.

[SenseiSeth]

This entire video is sparring ASMR with some bonus side kicks 😂

[jakub]

I love the fact that when you spar hard, you don’t go 100% and it is still technical, it doesn’t end up being an ego spar. Love it!

[markwilliam]

That guy is a real beast on boxing round, taking offensive combo 24/7 without missing a breath. His stamina tank is just massive.

[Sakaki]

The constant sneaky ass side kicks are impressive, which is exactly reason I think the fact that you went as many rounds as you did while constantly getting blasted in the stomach(which, as we all know, really makes it hard to breathe consistently and efficiently) proves just how crazy your stamina truly is. Anyone can learn to run ten miles at their own pace with no external factors to worry about. Regulating your breathing under pressure and while being interrupted/winded by blows to the solar plexus is another thing entirely. People who can consistently pull that kind of thing off really deserve more credit than they get.

[zoli]

Holly cow, the stamina of these guys is insane. I'm gassed out from just watching 2 minutes of this.

[joejkd]

Man your stand up grappling game is on point. My son is a high school wrestler and I have him watch your vids. You showcase great entries under pressure for some impressive takedowns.

[THEJKDMAN]

One of the best sparring session i've ever seen. Both educated in sparring and as always Jeff has posture and nice techniques under stress. Respect.

[mason.credible]

Jeet Kune Do was my first martial art. I learned it from James's Dad, Dino, back in the early 2000's. Had I not moved out of NY, I believe I would still be practicing it. I'm very happy to see both practitioners going hard but being technical. Your clinch, trips and footsweeps are very effective and is something that JKD could absorb. Conversely, the side kicks are one of JKD's bread and butter techniques that you could use in your arsenal. Great video. Keep up the good work!

[HabitGat]

This was such a beautiful exchange, both of you sparred at the same intensity with tons of self control and technique. Also to add the way it was edited is great and feels completely unbiased to both fighters. Great job to both. Set a great a example for what heavy sparring should be.

[LambNRice]

Holy smokes what a high level sparring session. Those rush in sweeps are amazing, I've been trying to add that to my game, but can't quite get the set up/mechanics of it right. This was a pleasure to watch.

[eljoelo]

I like how Teddy changes his stance seamlessly in the boxing round. No matter which foot he had forward, he would throw from that stance and the punches looked very fluid from both sides.

[WebnewsCelebrities]

As an amateur, you are both so skilled, amazing reflexes, balance and it felt like you were enduring a lot of 70% power hits like they were nothing lol...

I'm impressed

[JustSomeGuyWithAMustache]

Dude I’ve been watching you for a while and your progression is insane, this was beautiful to watch.
