JEET KUNE DO MIRROR DRILL
The mirror drill is a drill used to learn how to keep what is known as the fighting measure. The fighting measure is a distance just outside of kicking range. The drill is preformed by two students. Have the two students stand in their bi-jong and hold their lead arm straight out so that their fingers barely touch. One student will work as the leader and the other the follower. The follower has to try to stay in the 'fighting measure' no matter what direction the leader goes. If the leader takes one step to the right, then the follower does the same, if the leader takes a double step forward then the follower tries to do the same. The follower tries to do this 'as' the leader moves, not after. There are a few variations to the drill, such as: adding a Jeet-tek to the drill. In this case the follower still followers the leader, but if the leader moves forward, then the follower, instead of moving back, jeet-tek's the leader. This will help build the followers reaction speed to the quick advance of the opponent.
