BLOWN Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 The instructor was very cool and was very knowledgable about jkd. It was a great workout and looking forward to my next session. I sparred with a friend of mine who is taking the class with me. It was interesting to say the least. I have to work on my balance a little more and to try and not go airborn when I move back from an attack. I usually hop back or jump back wards to get away. Dragging/sliding my feet will take some getting used to. Also punching along my centerline of my body is another thing I need to practice. Trying to put all my weight into a quick punch and be able to use both my left and right hands (im a righty) comfortably.I love it! -Ray -Pain Is Weakness Leaving The Body.-It's Not The Size Of The Dog In The Fight, But The Size Of The Fight In The Dog.
SoonerJohn Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 There are no schools in my area or I would have tried JKD many years ago.Glad to hear you are liking it.

BLOWN Posted February 11, 2006 Author Posted February 11, 2006 Did he make you switch lead hand (move power hand forward), that took getting used toYes. Im originally a righty and my stance was wrong. He told me to get in my stance as if i was about to get into a fight. I stood left foot forward, right arm back. It had always worked for me in the stret rights I have been in. He taught me to have my power up front. No need for it to be tucked away in the back when I can have the same power faster and with better control. He then, as you said, had me switch it up so my left arm/leg was in the front. I actually felt pretty good in that stance. Felt better than I thought it would I'm looking forward to my next class -Ray -Pain Is Weakness Leaving The Body.-It's Not The Size Of The Dog In The Fight, But The Size Of The Fight In The Dog.
BJJ is 1 Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Yeah, it takes getting used to, but I love having my power hand forward now. "Without Jiu Jitsu its like without my two legs."-Rickson Graciehttps://www.myspace.com/cobraguard

italian_guy Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Glad you liked it. Usually we were thought to use right side forward as a preference but also, after some time, we should be able to apply the same technique with left side forward.
1st_degree_black Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 while sparring be sure to switch stances and circle spar often, this will confuse ur opponent.
