The IJ - the eye jab

This is the strike that never fails!

Nobody can withstand a finger jab to the eyes, it doesn't matter what training they've had, how strong they are, or what drinks or drugs they have ingested.

It is the primary strike in JKD and one of the first and most important strikes we perfect in Feng Wei.

Anybody who has got a bit of dust or sand in their eye knows how painful it can be and how much it can distract you. Imagine what a full force fingertip will do!

The eyeball is the weak link in anyone's chain.

If you only ever learn one "pressure point", learn the eyeball.

If you only ever perfect one PE, make it the eye jab.

PEs - Pre-emptive strikes

We practice these shots off the Fence, as lineups, and against pads held both on the hand and against the body.

We also practice from the clinch.

All these shots have been used in real life encounters. Nothing is theory.

Some of these were introduced to us by friends, colleagues and other instructors who have used them extensively, some more than others.

We will be practicing this list of techniques regularly.
