Years
ago a great man wanted to see what was possible if the restrictions of
classical system and tradition were replaced by the philosophy of “no way as
way, no limitation as the only limitation”
That man was Bruce Lee and the sporting
permutation of his vision is what we know today as MMA. At the technical level,
Bruce Lee’s art is known for its ability to seamlessly transition from one art
or range to another. Something that MMA professionals are only now just
beginning to realize and incorporate.
One of our favorite nods to the JKD
tradition is the use of the shuffle step kick entry. In the members area of our
website we elaborate further on the variations and possibilities we like to use
but here you can see how we’ve applied the basic concept to the realm of MMA.
The key for using this entry is to
consistently mix your dedicated striking attacks using the shuffle kick entry
with your compound takedown attacks. Again something we cover at length for our
members.
Until next time, “Take what is useful,
discard what is useless and add what is essentially your own”. Leave a comment
and let us know what you’ve found useful.
