#jkdconcepts

Great Instructor Training this morning! For JKD Concepts we reviewed training methods for the jab, utilizing head movement, and proper foot rotation on the round kick. For BJJ we reviewed the Single Leg Pass, connecting it to the Leg Spiral into a back take with a choke finish. Followed by Guro Matt Mondragon and I getting in a good 30 min roll afterwards, with my personal focus being on hunting for positions to set up No-Gi Chokes. Good to be rolling with Matt again. He legit caught me in a heel hook (safely) and an Armbar with a couple smooth set ups of his own. Super proud of him. Great time!!!

Jeet Kune Do seeks to waste no time or movement, teaching that the simplest things work best as in Wing Chun. Economy of motion is the principle by which JKD practitioners achieve: ·         Efficiency: An attack which reaches its target in the least amount of time, with maximum force. ·         Directness: Doing what comes naturally in a disciplined way. ·         Simplicity: Thinking in an uncomplicated manner; without ornamentation. This is meant to help a practitioner conserve both energy and time; two crucial components in a physical confrontation. Maximized force seeks to end the battle quickly due to the amount of damage inflicted upon the opponent. Rapidity aims to reach the target before the opponent can react, which is half-beat faster timing, learned in Wing Chun and Western boxing.  Learned techniques are utilized in JKD to apply these principles to a variety of situations. ​

To fight in the center line is to get the best strike.  To protect in the center line is to get the best protection.  But, your opponent's weakest parts are also yours.  Keep the elbow close to the center line, about six to eight inches away from the rib cage.  Where the elbow is based or in pivotal position, the forearm can swing or move to reach the four gates with minimum movement.  The four gates are divided by left and right with the center line, and by upper and lower with the horizontal line through the elbows.  The same hold true for keeping the front knee in because it provides the best protection for lower parts of the body.  It closes up the center line where the groin and any sensitive parts are located.
