Jeet Kune Do Concepts

Point of Origin 

  • Moving any natural weapon from wherever it originates rather than cocking it before deploying it. This helps to eliminate telegraphing of moves.


Economy of Motion 

  • Each movement should logically and biomechanically flow into the next to maximize speed, power, and effectiveness. Choose the best available target, Choose the best available weapon, Choose the best available angle, in the least amount of time, to get the desired result.


Circle of Combat/ Critical Distance

  • The circle of combat is a circle that surrounds you that extends as far as you're kicking range. No stranger or threat should ever be within that circle.


Who to Preemptively Attack in Two on One Situation?

  • Attack the “mouth”, the one doing the most talking. If you take out the leader, his followers will often scatter. Unless you have one silent person who is walking around trying to get to your rear.
