Jeet Kune Do Concepts
Broken Rhythm
A core principle of unpredictability and deception that involves altering the timing and tempo of your movements to surprise an opponent. By establishing a rhythm and then suddenly accelerating, slowing down, or inserting pauses, you disrupt the opponent's predictable patterns, creating an opening to launch an attack when they are off-guard. It's a fundamental concept for intercepting an opponent's movement and a key element in achieving non-telegraphic movement.
Contouring
Following the lines of the body to find your target. For example, in Japanese Strangle Hold B and C we follow the line of the shin to find the foot.
Grafting
Combining two techniques to make a new one. It is important that there is no disruption of motion.
