Jeet Kune Do: Head Strike Defense #3
This defense is done by doing what, i call a side-lean which is leaning your upper-body to either side using speed. Whatever side you lean towards that hand should come to the other side of your jaw or to the front to protect. To avoid the punch perfectly practice the move while the attackers arm is still bent when he throws. I believe it’s best to lean towards the shoulder of the punch so you won’t get hit by the other hand so go to the outside which is the side of the shoulder.
One thing you can do is combine this defense with a sidestep to further get to the outside. Both moves must be done at the same time to save time. All of this is good against a straight arm and leg attack.

Jeet Kune Do: Head Strike Defense #2
This defense is done by ducking down in a circular form which will cause a hook-punch to fly over your upper back. You perform this by first bringing the head down at the same time as your torso, making a circular movement and coming back up to where you started. This defense should work against a roundhouse and spinning-kick that targets your head. When you do this it’s like your making the letter u with your head also your knees should bend a little when you duck.

Jeet Kune Do: Forward-Backstep: Quick Attack
This form of footwork is used to come at your opponent for a quick strike attack followed by a quick retreat. To perform this you must have 1 foot forward and the other in the rear as if you were in a boxing stance then begin. First take a step forward with front then rear follows then rear steps back and front follows now do this with speed. When you move front leg that’s when you can make that first strike with lead hand and if you do a combination make it small.
When you begin to move your legs don’t hop or skip you want to do a quick slide and step going forward and backwards. Do not make a big step just move the lower half of your legs when going forward or backwards. Here’s an example move forward lead-jab, rear-hook then lead-knee and retreat.

Jeet Kune Do: ABC
ABC is attack by combination a form of attack where one technique is followed by multiple strikes, sweeps, throws, or take-downs. I feel each combination should be up to 2, 3, 4 or 5 hits with speed and power mixed together not just one of the two. There should be a split second or second between combos just as long as there’s a opening keep going until your finished with it.
This way of attack doesn’t always have to be used when standing you can try it when sitting, on knees or on your back. All techniques must flow together meaning you should throw moves that your comfortable using or work well together.
Combinations should have a mixture of defense and footwork. Experiment with light weight hard objects around your house like a broom, hair brush, a boot, hard book anything. Combination and counter attacking must be mixed to form a greater skill. Check the source link.

Jeet Kune Do: Counter Attack
Countering is a useful skill that happens when someone attempts an attack against you and immediately you return one after avoiding or blocking theirs. The attack can be by weapon, striking or some type of attack that comes by grabbing. Do not practice in only traditional boxing ways because in reality any form of attack can shoot your way no matter what your doing.
Here’s some examples of countering.
Rear jab: This first counter happens when a rear-right-jab comes, sidestep it to your left and deliver a rear-left-jab to the jaw.
Bear hug: This comes when your grabbed from the back you want to shoot your elbow straight back and let your waist move at the same time for full power. When grabbed from the side deliver a hard sideways elbow which should strike your attacker in the stomach.
Sidestepping:
Rear jab:
Jeet Kune Do: Backfist
First your forearm is up to side of shoulder, bring forearm downward towards your chest until it’s diagonal while making a swinging move with your forearm going forward and turning your fist so that you hit with back of fist. When you use the back-fist your striking with your knuckles. The targets are neck, nose and jaw.
Jeet Kune Do: Elbow Strike
First bring forearm up to side of your shoulder as if you were getting ready to fight then shoot elbow into a horizontal line while fist drops to the front of your chest. When you throw your elbow let your upper body turn with it. This technique is for close range only striking the upper or lower part of the head.

Jeet Kune Do: Final Fitness pt4: Kicking
This is the forth part of my last set of exercises which comes after punches or you can practice this with the previous set using combos. You can use a heavy bag, thai pads or kicking shield. When you practice this or the punching you can treat them as a exercise, practicing just power punches or kicks without skills. You can practice any kicks you want you do not have to do them all.

Jeet Kune Do: Final Fitness pt3: Punches
This third part of my last set happens when you’ve had rest after the second which is in the source. When you start practicing punches you don’t have to use all of them you can use jab and hook or just hook or all except one. Your going to need a punching bag or focus mitts which is what, i recommend.
If you don’t have the money for a punching bag here’s one.

Jeet Kune Do: Final Fitness pt2: Running
The first thing you must do is check the source for part1 flexibility which is what you’ll need before doing this. The second is when you start running you want to push off the ground with your toes instead of bouncing on your feet and hurting your ankles. The third is don’t talk or have your mouth wide open you don’t want to catch any bugs in there. The last is don’t waste energy moving your arms just keep them relaxed.
