Chesten hit the nail on the head. I can't really comment on WC trapping, but in JKD the idea is to just get the limb out of the way so you can hit the guy. I've used it in full contact sparring with some success, but much like any other technique, it's value is limited in some situations...

The one recommendation I have besides what's already been covered so far is with the lead hook. The simple version is : (1) Turn lead foot to point in the direction of the punch/force. (2) Turning the foot leads to turning the hip (3) Turning the hip leads to engaging the shoulder (4)...

Hip rotation and everything else is in sync for one. For two, she hits him a few times when he's in the middle of a kick or otherwise not well balanced.

As others have said, the main reason switching leads can be so effective is it brings up angles of attack and defense that many people just can't fit into their training routines, whatever their reasoning for excluding it may be. I'm a righty, and I fight with my strong side foward...

A few things I saw that could be improved on, especially as the smaller guy. For reference, I'm 5'7 140 lbs, and have been sparring against people who are 6'2 190 lbs, 5'10 250lbs, etc. for some time now. The first thing is your lead hand. I notice a lot of the time you just hold it out...

Yes, some people aren't cut out for it really, but I've found there are ways to help a person get the most out of whatever thier natural abilities may be, even if it's not much. Of the the two student's I have right now, one of them just flat out can't seem to get the timing right on his...

Yes, this is a useful kick under the right circumstances for some self-defense situations. The motion to set up the oblique kick can also be used to set up a variant of the JKD side kick without using the usual pendulum motion. I don't know enough about who's been using it and when in sport...

I want to echo the advice of working on 1-2 things specifically during the week and getting adjustments from your coach during your once per week lesson. That's basically what I've been doing for six years now.

I'm not affiliated with this JKD organization in any way, but I've seen them put out some good quality stuff and it appears they have an affiliated instructor in the DC area. It's worth taking a look at I think, the guys who run the organization know what they're doing and I have a hard time...

I think the main point of what your saying is fundamentaly sound. I don't come from a sport/mma background (I do self-defense stuff) so there are things I'm concerned about more in terms of causing injury while training than bad falls. But not knowing how to mitigate damage when falling as...

I'd say if your just going to be hitting the back for exercise then put the gloves on. If you want to be able to use your hands for self-defense, then transition over time from something like boxing gloves>mma gloves>wraps>bare handed. Just don't do what I did, and start hitting the...

My vote is end of work out. Both he and his trainer are sweating like pigs.
