Jeet Kune Do Principles/Concepts

Intercepting- hitting your opponent in the process of his attack.

• The 5 Ways of Attack- Simple Angle Attack, Hand Immobilization Attack, Attack by combinations, Progressive Indirect Attack, Attack by Drawing.

• Non- telegraphic movement - throwing it from where it is not repositioning.

• Broken Rhythm- Structuring your attack with beats and half-beats.

• Killer instinct (attitude) - Emotional control

• Strong side forward- the naturally faster, more coordinated, more powerful side.

• Preliminary analysis- Scrutinizing your opponent's habits, virtues, and faults. (A quick scan to see who you are fighting- boxer, wrestler, kicker ect)

• Attribute development- the drills that ultimately give technique life. They include distance, movement, timing, power, body feel, spatial relationship, and speed.

• Exploding from neutral- Moving in a relaxed manor, on guard, and explosively attacking at the right moment.

• Foul tactics- Biting, eye gouging, hair pulling, and groin striking.
