Prefight Training and JKD Skills
Worked with Jeff today, we started out testing the new warm-up. We then did some standup work for the clinch and focus mitts. Rather than using a striking reaction we are focusing on clinch reaction. One of the things that I want to work on is using my lead kick as a set-up for angling and clinching or taking a shot. We transitioned to the ground where I tried working combinations from the top. Some test cases
Afterwards worked with Andy and Pedro on the stick and knife material for the JKD test this weekend. The things that I think are most important are
- Body Hook-Body Hook-Same side Head Hook
- Body Hook-Body Hook-Opposite side Head Hook
- Body Hook-Opposite side Upper Cut
- Body Hook-Same side Hammer Fist
Afterwards worked with Andy and Pedro on the stick and knife material for the JKD test this weekend. The things that I think are most important are
- Going slowly, the tip of the stick moves a lot faster being 3' further out.
- Committing to the attack, the drills only make sense if some is trying to hit you.
- Footwork, if boxing needs great footwork, kali needs phenomenal foot work, its one thing to move around punches it is something completely different to dance around a stick going 3 times faster.
