we used to call this cutting arm, works well when developed.
Used to interact with those who boxed in my younger yrs. ussing long arm.
Due to the way and how it was used most had a very hard time dealing with it.

Unrehearsed Attacking & Trapping at a seminar.
This was a few years ago. Assisting me is Michael Johnson. Michael had studied JKD for a number of years and we had never met until that morning. He asked to assist me in teaching and we had no preparation. Michael did not know what I was going to do; I did not know what he was going to do. Actually, I didn't know what I was going to do either. This was the result:

The way we fight is not only governed by animal instinct, but also influenced by examples of (or models, if you will) fighting that we have been culturally exposed to throughout our lives.
In America, for example, many people have had varying degrees of exposure to western boxing and wrestling since childhood. That's why you are more likely to see people squaring off with their fists held high like boxers and attack with jab cross combos, or attempt to throw the opponent down with a single or double leg takedown in a fight. In Asia, however, those techniques are not as commonly seen in street fights.
