This YouTube video shows a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner taking on a JKD practitioner in a style vs style matchup. The BJJ player takes his opponent down early with ease and controls him for some time. Eventually the JKD practitioner is able to create some space and get back to his feet but eats a knee on the way up for his troubles.

His shirt comes off quickly which the judoka uses to grip but that doesn’t seem to stop him as he sends his opponent for a ride shortly after, planting him right back down on the ground where he wants him.

The JKD fighter is clearly inexperienced on the ground and doesn’t know what to do other than grab a hold on his opponent. The BJJ fighter starts landing some decent ground and pound. Eventually the JKD fighter is once again able to escape back to his feet, showing some toughness.

The BJJ fighter then goes for a guillotine choke and the JKD fighter manages to get out of it showing some grit and determination. They clinch up against the wall for a bit and the JKD practitioner lands some shots, nothing super effective though. Clinching up with a BJJ fighter is never a good strategy however as he ends up throwing his opponent to the ground hard and the JKD fighter taps out as he eats a punch. It seems as if he was probably winded or perhaps sustained an injury on the way down.

Jeet Kune Do, which is the martial art invented by legend Bruce Lee, is a concept based art and often seen as the precursor to MMA. It focuses primarily on striking but it does incorporate grappling and trapping ranges as well. The level of grappling technique that an advanced BJJ fighter possesses proves to be too much though, at least in this case.
