JKD's 5 Ways of Attack
ABC- Attack By Combination
There are many variations of ABC using the hands and feet singly or in combination. Relying primarily on footwork and a logical sequence of attack and counter, the student most resembles a boxer when he applies ABC.
ABD- Attack By Drawing
Attack by Drawing is counterfighting. The object is to lure the opponent into position for a disabling strike.
HIA- Hand Immobilization Attack
HIA or "Trapping Hands" plays an integral role in the hand immobilization attack. By completely immobilizing an opponents hands the student effectively limits the techniques he may counter with. In conjunction with its counter part, FIA or Foot Immobilization Attack, HIA is primarily a means of "Bridging the Gap"
PIA- Progressive Indirect Attack
Distance and timing are key words in the progressive indirect attack. The student knows that he must take an alternate route in order to arrive at his final destination. PIA usually combines with elements of HIA and FIA as an end result of 'Bridging the Gap".
SAA-Single Angular Attack
Single Angular Attack and its converse, Single Direct Attack represent the ultimate in JKD sophistication. To be effective, they require the utmost speed and fitness. There are actually two types of SAA. One with constant rhythm, another with broken rhythm. Which one to apply is determined, naturally, by one's opponent.
