The JKD
Inside Circle Step
The
JKD Inside
Circle Step
by
Kip Brockett
In this
follow-up article to “The
JKD Outside Circle Step,” we will now examine the inside
version of this circular footwork pattern.
This is a step-by-step guide to help both those already familiar
with Jeet Kune Do footwork and those just beginning. If you’re
just beginning, this article should get you started on firm “footing”.
(OK, no more puns... at least for this article!)
Note:
Stepping to the “inside” position means that you’ll
be stepping with the rear foot first. If you’re in a right
lead, your rear (left) foot steps to the left. Just reverse if
in a left lead. If an opponent were to step to this side of your
stance, they would be considered to be on the “inside”
perimeter.
As mentioned
in the first article, there are many different training aids you
can use. (I’m using a cut garden hose in the photos - see
Picture #1.) I’ll re-state the ideas here with a couple of
additions:
•
Chalk (simply draw it on the floor)
• Hula Hoop
• Jump Rope
• Rope or String
• Duct Tape
• Basketball Court (Free Throw Line)
• Focus Mitt (place it on the floor and circle around it)
• Barbell Weight (same idea as the focus mitt)
• Pole (could be a basketball pole, building support, or
just a stick in the ground)
