Attack by drawing, now this is the
part five of the video series.
This is actually one of the most advanced strategy in JKD,
and you can see JKD stands for Jeet Kune Do,
the way of intercepting fists,
it's when the opponent comes, you intercept your opponent.
So what I'm talking about is, let's say you are facing
a more advanced martial artist,
a more experienced practitioner,
sometimes the singular, the simple angle attack doesn't work
sometimes the attack by combination also doesn't work,
and you've tried different things,
and now, you need to lure him in by making him think
you are vulnerable and then you give him
purposely an opening, then when he attacks,
you intercept and you attack him.
Now, there's a danger with this technique
because if the guy is smarter, faster, and more experienced,
that opening, he might get you.
So you need to use this with caution, but done effectively,
he won't expect it, so let me give an example.
So very simple example, we have,
let's say, we're just sparring, we're facing off here,
so let's say I purposely drop my guard just a little bit,
and assuming he's a kicker, that he may want to
kick my head, right, so here he can't kick me, right?
So he try and this, I'm blocking,
but purposely, I drop this hand, so I give an opening.
Now, he's thinking, oh, there's nice opening right here,
right, so he kicks, then I can do my side kick to the knees
or sometimes I drop. (Chen grunts)
This would be to his head, right?
Or to his throat, so I leave an opening.
Do it slow, from there, so I could attack.
Basically, it's like a chess game.
That I know if I make this move, he's gonna make that move,
and I can't really get to there until I make this move.
So I make this move perfectly,
maybe even sacrificing something so that I could attack,
so that's a perfect example, I draw on.
Sometimes I might, here, I'm gonna drop just my lead hand
just a little bit thinking aw, that's a nice opening, right?
He throws a punch, right, he pulls back,
then gives me an opening, one more time, fast.
(Chen breaths out with punch)
From here, right, so that's attack by drawing him in,
knowing my distance, he comes back and boom.
Then I can attack, so that's attack by drawing.
There are many, many different ways you could do this,
it's not just a certain technique,
it's not about a technique, JKD's five ways of attack
is not about technique, it's all a strategy,
and that's why it applies, it's all fundamental principles,
fundamentals that you can apply to any martial art.
It could apply to Chinese martial art,
Filipino martial art, Japanese martial art,
grappling, it's all the same, it's basically a set up.
This is a set up, so if you play around
with five ways of attack and you go back
and watch the other videos and just observe and see,
hey, you know what, how can I incorporate this
into my training, and when you play around with it,
you'll see that these five ways of attack encompass many,
many things, many, many different
techniques and it would fit, right?
Comment below, let me know what are some of the other ways
that you can draw, you can draw people in, right?
What are some of the attack by drawing that you can do?
So let me bring Jason and Drake in and see, so you guys try.
So basically, you will leave an opening for him.
Now Drake, will do a hook kick to my head.
Yep, he will do that, and all I wanna do is,
so I leave a little bit of opening,
so as he does that, I would kick him.
Or again, I would kick him, one more time, I would kick him.
Right there, don't actually kick in the groin,
but you can see so from here, boom, try that.
(funky hip hop music) (Drake sighs)
Do it slow (finger snaps), yes, do it slow.
Now, if Jason left handed, right?
Longest weapon, shortest target,
you will not kick with the back foot,
you'll kick with the front foot, right?
So give him a little bit opening, let him kick first.
It's all intercepting, you can see.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, give him a little opening, give him
a little opening, give him some opening, yeah, right.
Boom, yes, what's important about this whole thing,
the attack by drawing, is what?
Timing, it's the timing of it, so do it slow.
(funky hip hop music)
Now, that's a good timing, again.
Now, again.
Now, try again, um-hum.
Reverse, you kick, and you try.
(digital music with vinyl scratches)
Um-hum, one more time, you kick his head,
see if you can kick his head, yes.
(digital hip hop)
Now as a training buddy I see a
couple mistakes people make.
They are not touching the guy,
you don't need to kick full power, but you need to touch me.
Yeah, you need to touch me, otherwise,
I think all this is not gonna get me.
Touch, yeah, touch, just reduce the power
in your training if you don't have any protective gear.
Again, yeah, but it should be touching, right?
Another way, sometimes, I'll leave an opening, he kicks,
right, I might do something like that, right.
'Kay, I mean, it's a take down, right?
From here, right, from here, break,
right, so that could've been a take down too.
So from here, from here, but it doesn't matter,
it's attack by drawing him in,
drawing him in first, then you go in.
What techniques you use, it doesn't matter,
just follow the principle, right, try it.
Yes, yeah, yeah, and then just wait
(hand clap) and then you can do your thing.
Good, front foot. (funky hip hop music)
Now, if I do it slow, watch, so Drake kicks, I could,
kick to the groin, I could kick to the thigh
where (hand slaps) my foot slow,
it's more kicking this way, right, kicking this way.
I can do knee breaking here, right?
I could do groin here, right, I could go in with a punch.
One more time, I could go in
with a straight, right, punch like that.
Doesn't matter, I just drawing him in, right?
Or sometimes, let's say I leave an opening here too.
So I might do something like this.
See how, so usually I face him this way,
but I might just purposely do more like this, okay.
So from here, you see my position.
More like karate position, and leave him,
oh, I can kick right nice in here, right?
Watch, boom, kick, boom, see that.
One again, boom, see that, right, Chen you try.
So I give an opening, right, so from here, kick (grunts),
kick (grunts), right, so come here, kick, ooh, okay,
all right, try 'em a couple times, ooh, okay, one more times
(Chen grunts) Then I can do my side kick.
See that, draw him in and boom, that's attack by drawing.
It's the same idea, it's the same idea, draw him in,
let him make a mistake, and you intercept,
and that's JKD, my friend, that's JKD.
Make sure you watch the five ways of attack many, many times
You gotta repeat it again and again
and you gotta practice it, and listen to the principle
in between and incorporate training until you don't have
to think about it, then you know you've got it.
