The central theme of JKD in 12 Phases:
1. Entering
2. Stop Hits
3. Interception
4. Destructions - to close the gap safely
5. Straight Blast
6. HKE - Headbutts, Knees, Elbows
7. Trapping
8. Low line kicking
9. Eye jabs
10. Groin slaps
11. Boxing
12. Groundfighting
In terms of Vertical Grappling, the techniques and tactics one learns by training in Jujutsu, Judo and Aikido - one needs Trapping to control the VG phase, and we would clinch for HKE before using a throw or takedown
Judo and Aikido both have ATEMI striking in their original forms and advanced training, as they were the original Jujutsu Combat forms, adapted later for the sporting applications
We are training for Self Preservation Street Fighting so we do not look to tie up for a sports grappling match
