The element of offensive defense

Jeet kune do (JKD) signifies offensive defense.

Every attacker must have within himself a touch of the gambler. Never attack halfheartedly—penetrate in, concern yourself only with the correct and most determined execution of your offense.

Offensive defense pointers

1. Use the longest (weapon) against the closest (target).

2. Use leg first in attack, then having bridged the gap, use the hands.

3. Make indirect attack out of them, feint head first if hitting low (this is not always the rule)—do not set pattern which will allow your opponent to time you.

[By defense, every means of frustrating and punishing one’s opponent’s lead.]

Does not necessarily mean the attacking man will land the kick or blow.
