SIFU THIS ROY WHAT IS A DROP STEP AND WHAT DO IT DO ORHOW DO YOU USE IT LIKE YOU SHOULD AND DID BRUCE USE IT A LOT

Hello Roy!

The drop step is where you take a large forward step with the lead foot, striking simultaneously to a lowline target such as the groin with a chop chuie or ping chuie! This drops the full bodyweight into the strike. After the strike lands you recover the distance with the rear foot, returning to the proper bai jong stance. The idea is for the strike to land either a slit second before or right as the lead foot touches down. This assures that you bodyweight goes into the strike instead of into the ground!

Keep Blasting!

"What is Jeet Kune Do (JKD)? Chinese martial art, definitely! It is a kind of Chinese martial art that does away with the distinction of branches, an art that rejects formality, an art that is liberated from tradition." __Bruce Lee

We trained this in the last Monday night class. In the same situation that Sifu mentioned most people (men) will really drop the hand hard and do that little shuffle jump to avoid a hit to the groin. This would then lead to a lop sao with gwa chuie (back fist). If they don't you have a strike that will really put them down.
