Jeet Kune Do Kicking

Jeet Kune Do practitioners believe they should direct their kicks to their opponent's shins, knees, thighs and midsection. These targets are the closest to the foot, provide more stability and are more difficult to defend against. Maintaining low kicks utilizes the principle of economy of motion by reducing the distance a kick must travel, thus minimizing the "time" element. However, as with all other JKD principles nothing is "written in stone". If a target of opportunity presents itself, even a target above the waist, one could take advantage and not be hampered by this principle.

Jeet Kune Do Kicking Sets

It's commonly believed that Bruce Lee discarded all forms and sets by the time he developed his system of Jeet Kune Do. The truth is he taught several sets during the Los Angeles Chinatown era.

During this era he taught 5 different kicking sets.

They were designed not only to teach all the variations of kicks he practiced, but also to teach the various types of footwork required for kicking effectively, balance, coordination etc.

At first, these kicking sets are practiced with strict form. Once you've learned the sequences and can perform them adequately, they were trained in a more fluid manner... similar to shadow kickboxing. Or as Sifu Tackett teaches, “classical” and “freestyle” variations of the sets. The kicking sets were named:

Die Yut Low (straight kick)
Die Yee Low (hook kick)
Die Sum Low (north south set)
Die Say Low (chasing set)
JKD Kicking Set (sometimes called “The Little Dragon Set”)

Die Yut Low Straight Kicking Set (Use only Jik Tek Straight Kick)
