 We can divide JKD training into two categories.


Self perfection and self preservation.

Self perfection is all the drills and sparring play that will help develop attributes.

You're not going to run up to someone in street fight and begin to do a 5 minute roll of the energy drill chi sao.

You wont fight like this.

Chi sao will help build your sensitivity to feel and read motion and the energy in a fight but your not going to fight doing the energy drill.

Head butts, knees , elbows, and biting for example is what you use in a fight.

So practicing these tools is how you would fight for self preservation of yourself and family.



The self perfection drilling helps to create the athleticism for the self preservation to be expressed.


Collecting drills doesn't mean you are more of a skilled fighter than the next person,

make sure you understand why you are training a drill and what it will do for you.



Strategy - Hit Before, During or After
