Comments:
Mr. Keating presents this DVD on trapping technique from the originals of Chinese Wing Chun and Philippine martial art forms. This would be considered a hallmark of JKD which blends different styles of fighting into one coherent system of defense. He starts off with presenting a blackboard filled with terms and linking arrows pointing to a list of techniques which are attributed to the family of movements such as Lap Sao, Hubud and Chi Sao training. He calls this a matrix. Much of this material was covered in his past DVDs, but this is a new way to look at it. He then goes into demonstrations and Chi Sao.
