Simple angle attack
Now, this is one of the five ways in JKD,
in Bruce's martial art,
if you read Bruce Lee's 'Fighting Methods'
or the 'Tao of Jeet Kune Do'
you'll see that the five ways of attack
is one of signature in JDK.
Now, the simple angle attack is very, very simple
but it's not easy.
It simply means you directly lunge into the opponent
before they can react.
You require speed, timing,
distance judging,
it requires your rhythm to be good,
it requires all these attributes.
It's one of the easiest, simplest
not easiest, simplest
but also the most difficult to master.
So it could be as simple as the finger jab.
Right, as simple as the finger jab,
and it follows the JDK principle
of the longest weapon
against the nearest target,
the throat
or the punch to the knees, right?
To the there, right?
From there, or the back fist as well.
So you could look like this
It could be the back fist of this
It could be the back fist of that
Could be the deep punch
So very very simple, but here's the key
When you are--
What happens is human beings, we are creatures of habit,
We're also creatures of rhythm.
So that's why we listen to music (snapping)
and we want to bob and, right?
That's pretty cool, right?
We can hear that kind of music, that beat,
we're naturally
Also, think about when you're walking
imagine when you're walking,
we all have a rhythm right?
We have a rhythm of of you're walking, you're just walking
one, two, one, two
one, two, three, four, right?
You don't walk like
one, one-two,
two, three-four.
That becomes cha-cha, right?
That becomes a dance.
You don't walk like that.
Or you don't walk like,
okay I walk, and suddenly I walk slow.
Then you become like Michael Jackson.
That's not what I'm talking about either.
Phasing off your opponent.
Sometimes, I think martial artist practitioners
when something doesn't work,
let's say I try to do the straight lead
assuming let's say, my speed is a little bit slower.
I don't have enough training.
And he's kind of blocking that, right?
So what happens is they tend to
Okay, shit! My straight lead is not working
Let me change my technique to
maybe I should do a hook punch instead
or maybe I should do a kick instead.
They change their techniques but what should actually do
what I like to do is, when something is not working
he's blocking it, he's blocking it
time to regroup, go back to fundamentals.
Look at the basics, how's my distance?
Is it good?
Is it too far? Is it too close?
What about my timing?
Is it good?
What about my stance?
Is it, maybe my stance off, my balance is off.
The basics, is it good?
Assuming it's good don't change your technique.
Change the angle.
So, let me show you.
As simple as the finger jab
Let's say the finger jab is not that quick enough
Maybe I'm a telegraphing a little bit.
I want you to block that, okay? When you see that coming.
You see that?
Again.
Same technique, right?
Watch (exhales quickly)
I didn't change the technique.
What did I do?
I changed the angle.
See that? Instead of inside gate I went outside.
Again.
From here (exhales quickly)
from outside.
Or, I go back the inside but this time
instead of coming in this way,
I go up and I walk him backward, watch.
(exhales quickly)
Now still block it.
(exhales quickly)
See that?
One more time.
(exhales quickly)
From here.
So I didn't change the technique,
I changed the angle of the attack.
A simple angle attack.
Same thing with your knee kick.
You can do this way.
So you can do here.
You can do
here. From here
You can do here
From here, right?
So it will look something like that.
The angle of it, the angle of it
So the same technique, different angles
very difficult form to react.
But it requires a lot of training
so when you're training a simple angle attack
thousands and thousands and thousands of repetitions
and you simple technique and you do that.
Even the finger jab, I'll show you
could be this way, right?
Could be more this, so could be this angle
It could be this angle
this angle, this angle,
this angle, it could also be
where it's like a snake.
You can do it more like this angle, watch.
(exhales quickly)
Watch it one more time.
(exhales quickly)
Right, same attack.
That's what I'm talking about.
So there you go, five ways of attack in Jeet Kune Do.
The first one, simple angle attack.
Comment below. Let me know what's your take on it.
Have you been practicing?
Try to vary the angle of attack
and see what kind of results you get.
See if you can throw your opponent off their guard.
And play around with it.
