The JKD
Outside Circle Step
The
JKD Outside
Circle Step
by

In this
article, we’re going to look at the basic building blocks
of the JKD Outside Circular Step. I’m going to give you step-by-step
instructions to this Jeet Kune Do footwork pattern. Even if you’re
new to JKD, this should get you started.
Note:
When I refer to the “Outside” step, I’m talking
about the outside perimeter of your stance. The outside will be
towards your backside. If you’re in a right lead, this will
be stepping to your right. Left if you’re in a left lead.
If an opponent were to step towards the backside of your stance,
they would be considered to be on the outside of your stance.
You can
use a variety of training aids to help practice the circular footwork.
I’m using a cut piece of garden hose in the examples below.
