The JKD Higher Attributes of Combat

Article by Hon. Major Rao

These 20 attributes of JKD form the parameters of Sparring:
1. PRECISION
Precision is accuracy in attack. PRECISION IS USING RIGHT POINT OF CONTACT ON RIGHT TARGET. It is the first thing a BB learns in sparring
Equipment used to train for Precision – Focus Pads. With bullseye in centre aim is developed
2. SPEED
SPEED IS REACTION TIME.
That is time taken:
To attack before opponent defends.
To counter before his attack reaches u i.e. Interception
Time taken to counter after his attack.
Equipment used to train for speed – Focus Pads
3. POWER
POWER IS LOCAL – the ability to ACCELERATE the punch or kick. Arm and leg power, not body. Body is secondary addition.
Acceleration – The striking hand or foot must be kept loose and not tense, and whipped out towards the target in perfect state of relaxation. That will produce acceleration.
4. MEASURE
MEASURE IS TITRATED SPAN OF FOOTWORK TO EXECUTE A STRIKE THRU THE OPPONENT WITH AT LEAST SIX INCH PENETRATION OF PUNCH AND TWELVE INCH PENETRATION OF KICK
5. TIMING
TIMING is two fold. Timing the feint to real attack AND timing counter attack either: before (interception) during parry (lin sin die dar) or after opponents attack (riposte)
6. LEVERAGE
LEVERAGE IS GENERAL i.e. BODILY COMPONENT OF POWER RATHER THAN FROM STRIKING PART. Using every part of the body to participate in the strike. This can be achieved ONLY IF ENTIRE BODY IS RELAXED AND NOT TENSE.
LEVERAGE IN GRAPPLING IS ALSO TO USE YOUR ENTIRE BODY TO MANOEUVRE THE OPPONENTS FORCE IN THE REQUIRED DIRECTION.
7. RHYTHM
RHYTHM IS THE SAME AS CADENCE. RHYTHM OR CADENCE IS EXECUTION OF MULTIPLE STRIKES IN ONE PATTERN i.e. pattern of:
Stride or depth or Measure i.e. short or long
Of Timing i.e. before during or after
Of variation of Attack i.e. angle level or state
Range
Direction of movement i.e. forward or backwards
8. TEMPO
TEMPO is the speed at which one delivers strikes, slow, medium or fast. Which can be varied to confuse the opponent. Tempo is pace of sparring. Slow sparring or fast sparring. One would cheat unknowingly or knowingly to outpace slow moving opponent.
9. FOOTWORK
FOOTWORK is legwork for launching a punch or kick elbow or knee grab or throw
10. POSITIONING
POSITIONING IS PLACING YOURSELF AT ANY POINT IN A CIRCUMFERENCE OF 360 DEGS WRT THE OPPONENT
11. STATE
3 TYPES: SOLID LIQUID AND GAS
Height and stance width define STATE. ICE is widest stance GAS narrowest. WATER is transition.
Ice is least mobile and most stable and gas is opposite.
Ice is closest i.e. for infighting and Gas farthest, for outfighting .
12. TACTICS (of attack)
Tactics are Variations in Angle, Level, Range and State in attack
13. STRATEGY
Single Angle Attack (Change Angle of Attack)
Indirect Attack (Feint and Attack)
Progressive Indirect Attack (Use the feint for next attack)
Attack By Combination (of kicks and punches)
Hand Immobilization Attack (Trapping)
Attack By Drawing
Attack by Broken Rhythm
14. PHYSICAL FITNESS
PHYSICAL FITNESS comprises of Muscular Strength, Endurance, Intense Cardio Stamina , Flexibility, Coordination.
15. SENSITIVITY (Eye, Hand, Foot coordination and Feel and Response skill)
SENSITIVITY is when disengaged eye hand coordination i.e. seeing an opening and acting at spinal reflex level without thinking. When engaged, it is feeling the energy of the opponent and by reflex at spinal level taking advantage and using ones energy in the direction of opponents force, rather than against it.
16. TARGET SELECTION

Looking for centre line
