JKD Combination #3 Overview

This instructional segment covers Jeet Kune Do combination number three, which incorporates spin kick variations. The combination begins with a lead jab followed by a cross, uppercut, and cross sequence to set up the spinning kicks.

Establishing Range and Positioning

The practitioner begins with a lead jab to establish distance and control. A cross, uppercut, and cross combination follows, with the feeder maintaining a tight, controlled striking box to ensure proper range and technique execution.

Spinning Crescent Kick

The first spinning variation is the crescent kick, which features the toes pointing upward and represents the shortest range option. This technique is executed after the five-count punch combination, with proper spin mechanics and hip rotation.

Spinning Heel Hook Kick

The second variation is the spinning heel hook kick, which extends the range further than the crescent kick. The heel remains the striking surface while maintaining rotational momentum from the spin.

Spinning Back Kick

The back kick functions like a mule kick and operates at close range with the toes pointing toward the ground. The feeder positions the pad directly in front of the midsection while turning slightly to provide a flat target surface.

Spinning Side Kick

The final variation is the spinning side kick, which achieves the longest range through full leg extension. The toes point horizontally to the ground, creating a powerful finishing technique with maximum distance coverage.

Training Progressions and Equipment

Practitioners can perform spinning back kicks and side kicks with a belly pad for increased impact absorption and safety. The progression moves from lighter practice to heavier pad work as technique and control improve.
