.JKD, teaches us to use what is appropriate to a given situation. For example it is not appropriate to use a spinning back kick in a phone box, but throwing a knee, head butt and so forth are. JKD is a way of training and a way of thought. It teaches us to have grounding in each area so that you may take advantage of your opponent?s apparent weaknesses. If I come up against a boxer, I do not play him at his game, instead I try and lead him to unfamiliar territory, this is were I will gain the upper hand, by using what is appropriate to the situation. |
