How do you know what distance you’re actually in—and how do you determine the nature of someone’s commitment before they act?

Many people speak loosely about timing, repeating phrases learned online without understanding what they mean in real movement. In this video, Octavio Quintero breaks down practical insights from Tao of Jeet Kune Do, first released in 1974 as a compilation of notes assembled with the help of **Bruce Lee’s students.

This review is guided by Octavio’s years of study in Jeet Kune Do and mentorship under Jerry Poteet and Steve Golden, helping translate principle into functional understanding—not theory.

The video covers basic but often misunderstood examples that clarify:
►How distance dictates available actions
►How timing emerges from awareness—not speed
►How commitment can be read before contact

These fundamentals give practitioners a real edge in application and understanding, forming part of Octavio Quintero’s Explosive Edge system, where perception, alignment, and decision-making come first.

Stay Explosive.
