a. Five corner kicking: alternating kicks between left and right foot.
b. Five corner kicking: from low to high.
c. Clockwork kicking: real-time kicking with the closest weapon.
d. Combination clockwork kicking & hitting: advanced.
Key: real-time, no hesitation, closest weapon to closest target.

3. Stance: Bi jong
a. Lead stance: shuffle, front, rear, side.
b. Form is the essence, balanced, smooth, feet stay on the ground, (skating)

c. Evade various combinations of strikes and kicks.
d. Minimal movement to make opponent miss.
- Know what position and distance is safe for you.

f. Evade and counter: after learning the above.
Keys: Better to miss by an inch then to block by a mile.
- To block is to get hit.
- Don't engage the opponent, disengage him.
(e.g. don't tangle yourself in blocking and trapping movements)
- The whole idea is to intercept his physical and emotional intent to hurt you.

5. Classical versus the New (modern)

a. Sil lim tao: performed the classical way.
b. Regarding trapping: cut the movement in half for realism.
- Concentrate on speed and economy.
Key: economy of motion, efficiency.

c. Hook punch: closer to the body then a boxer.

- Elbow next to the rib, much tighter and compact.
Key: centerline theory (from the center, not outside or wide).
- Take the skin (or paint) off of your ribs.
d. Rear heel kick: tighter, more centered.
Key: Take the skin (or paint) off the inside of your legs.

6. Separate punching drills:

a. Centerline punching (rapid): straight-line blast with closing footwork.
b. Separate kicking drills
- Two Aspects for improved kicking:
1. Power: Water in the hose analogy for transfer of force through target.
2. Speed: Whip analogy for speed of recovery:
(e.g. shoe laces pop, kicking a gnat out of the air)
c. Combine, blend power with speed drills, make adjustments.
Keys: Delivery system - instant, fast relaxed.
- Hand before foot
- Non-telegraphic (no pre-steps or stutter steps)(for punching: no flinching)
- Complete emphasis on speed and economy of motion.
- The less you move the better.
- Clean and sharp as a two edged sword, pure Chinese Kung-Fu.
- Power comes with time, sometimes years; on the spot power.
- Speed comes with accuracy.
- Proper form and body alignment with balance.
- Footwork is supposed to be light and easy, not jumping around stiff, but relaxed and smooth without
deliberation, angular and instant.

a. Pak sao
b. Lop sao
c. Gong sao
d. Jut sao
e. Tan sao
f. Bong sao
g. Economy of motion: cut these movements in half.

- While engaging an opponent, if there's emptiness…Hit.
- Skim and glide with friction but let the Chi flow.

8. Line drills (Quiet awareness)

- Sensitivity: Touch vs. Non-Touch.

9. Distance: Measure your distance

a. Safe
b. No man's land
c. Gates, body positions, and zones
Key: Put yourself where you're safe and the opponent is not.
- Circle to the outside of the strong side, away from rear hand.
- Immobilize the lead leg or hand, after you hit, not before.
10. Practice Drills

- Using the stop-kick as a jab as you incorporate it in footwork
(e.g. be loose, fluid, Ali-like)

12. Burning Step: hand to foot impetus.

The Three Facets to Jeet Kune Do

1. Non-Classical:
That is, there were and are no classical postures, no unrealistic footwork, no mechanical body
movements, no dissection of movement (i.e. "first you do this, then you do this, and then you do this,"
etc.) as if it were a corpse. Further, there are no two-man cooperation drills and no rhythmic forms.
Instead, the art is "alive" and infused with broken rhythm.

2. Directness:
There is no passive defense, blocking is considered the least efficient manner of defense. Everything in
the art is stripped to its essential components with absolutely no fancy decoration or ornate movements
(i.e., if somebody grabs you, punch him!). Students are taught to see reality in its such-ness and not
deliberate about it. Simply experience it as it is, when it is. As if, when someone throws something to
you, you catch it - you don't first grunt and go into a horse stance. And similarly, when someone grabs
you, you hit him - you don't get involved in elaborate joint manipulations and complex maneuvering.

3. Simplicity:
a. A daily minimize instead of a daily increase (being wise doesn't mean to "add" more, being wise
means to be able to get off sophistication and be simply simple)
b. The three stages in Jeet Kune Do
1- Sticking to the Nucleus
2- Liberation from the Nucleus
3- Returning to the original freedom

Here is some basic information on the Five Ways of Attack as it generally taught.

SDA - Single Direct Attack - In SDA you simply strike the opponent, Classic examples are the
jab and the lead kick. The SDA is the most simple yet the most advanced of the 'ways of attack'

ABC - Attack By Combination - ABC is a logical extension of SDA in which you throw several
attacks in a row, one or more of which may land. Examples are jab-cross-hook and front kick-
round kick.

HIA - Hand Immobilization Attack - In HIA you trap one or more of the opponents limbs as you
attack, thus overcoming possible defenses at preventing counterattacks. Examples include pak
sao-lop sao or a simple foot trap.

ABD - Attack By Drawing - In ABD you intentionally leave an opening in your defenses, hoping
to draw the opponent into a predictable attack which you may then counter.

PIA - Progressive Indirect Attack - PIA is often considered the most sophisticated of the five. In
it, feint at one or more targets and then attack your real objective without withdrawing the
attacking weapon.

and follows up with hook/cross/hook and any two kicks of their choice.

· Feeder throws Jab/Cross combination. Student catches jab and throws a rollback/Jeet Tek to
deal with cross. Student then follows up with cross/hook/cross and any two kicks of their choice.

· Feeder throws Jab/Cross combination. Student catches jab and then throws straightlead (cut
punch) to deal with cross. Then student follows up with cross/hook/cross and any two kicks of
their choice

· Feeder throws Jab/Cross combination. Student catches jab and then uses a shoulder shop to deal
with cross. Then student follows up with cross/hook/cross and any two kicks of their choice

· Feeder throws Jab/Cross combination. Student catches jab. Then student slips the cross while
throwing a cross/with lead hand parry (Split Entry). Student follows up with hook/cross/hook
and any two kicks of their choice.

· Feeder throws Jab/Cross combination. Student catches jab and then uses a Woang Pak Da to
deal with cross. Then student follows up with cross/hook/cross and any two kicks of their choice.

· Feeder throws Jab/Cross combination. Student catches jab and deals with cross with a
‘ cover/drop step’ . Student then follows up with cross/hook/cross and any two kicks of their
choice.

Note: These drills are done several ways. First they should be done “ as is” to learn the correct
energy and motions of the drill. Then you must make them alive with both footwork and the
proper intensity level.

You can then add to the drill by making them more interactive. Before each drill, use these
methods as well as come up with some of your own:
· Have a feeder/student jab exchange with the feeder acting as the initiator.
· Have the student initiate the drill by throwing a jeet tek (or any technique) and the feeder
counter the students attack with the start off the drill.

Here is some basic, "JKD" Footwork.

 Step & Slide - From the Bi-jong, take a smal step with your lead foot, no more
then a few inches. Once that is completed, slide your rear foot the same distance
forward. This step is used as an adjustment, and not really for an attack.
 Slide Step - From the Bi-jong, slide your rear foot until it meets your lead foot, as
this happens, step forward with your lead foot so that you end up back in the bi-
jong. For a Slide step backwards, slide your lead foot so that it meets your rear,
and then step with your rear foot to regain bi-jong.
 Push Shuffle - From the bi-jong, push forward off of your rear foot while slightly
lifting the lead foot. This is an attacking footwork.
 Side Step - Think push shuffle to either side. Some use the Step & Slide as well.
The important thing here is to make sure that you do not cross your legs at any
time.
 Pendulum Step - The easiest way for me to explain this in writing is have you
connect to slide steps...one going forward, and then immediately followed up by a
slide step back. So, from the bi-jong, slide your rear foot to kick out your lead
foot (into say a lead kick) and then quickly bring your lead foot back to meet your
rear foot, kicking it out and replacing it.
 Quick Advance - From the bi-jong, take a step with your lead foot (as you would
with a step & slide) and then, go right into a Slide Step.
