Sifu Mike Gregory Seminar Train with Sifu Mike Gregory in Sunderland, 10 October. Senior Associate Instructor under G**o Dan Inosanto. MMA seminar, limited spaces. Book now.
Khalil Rountree finishes the fight with a kick to the knee.
The leads are un-matched, so his front leg already sits in line with the closest target on the other man. Nothing has to travel across the body. He fires it low and the joint takes the lot.
That is the same target we hit with the jeet tek. His version is more telegraphed. The knee lifts and the hips load before it goes, that said - it worked!
The principle does not change. Closest weapon to the closest target, and take the base away.
UFC Vegas 36, September 2021. Bukauskas was carried out and sat on the sidelines for over a year. One kick, one joint, fight over.
No sparring. No JKD.
You can drill a technique a thousand times. It means nothing until someone tries to stop you.
Sparring is where the theory dies and the truth shows up. Timing under pressure. Distance against a moving opponent. The honesty of a partner who is not co-operating.
It is not about winning the round. It is about finding out what actually works for you, then keeping it.
Bruce Lee never asked for compliance. He asked for aliveness.
Suit up. Find out.

Today’s JKD Class focused on:
- Using the lead hand in multiple directions
- The Curve step
- Using Feints to create opening/opportunities to use the lead straight
And then finished with some sparring. Well done everyone 👏
