Standing rear choke defense

If your caught in a standing rear-choke the best thing you can do is use your hands to try an stop it by reaching for the hand that's on the back of your head and try to pull it loose.  While doing this your free to kick backwards to the lower parts of the legs if that fails start attacking the nuts with punches.  The other things are headbutting backwards before it gets too tight and elbowing to the stomach.

Don't get in my face!

Don't ever step to anybody and get close to them you can get yourself into some serious danger so don't be silly trying to be hard stay at a distance.  If your both in each others face arguing that is a distraction someone can pull a weapon or grab you so keep aware. 

Ground Headlock Defense

If someone ever gets you in a headlock on the ground and your on top you can knee to the groin or if you have your hands free and you can reach your attackers head start punching or try to grab the neck.  If your on the bottom the only thing, i can think of is trying to bite the arm or try to reach the groin area to crush something. 

Jumping Attackers

There's no need to jump for any attacks that would be silly and anyone can see it coming and counter you or just move backwards.  The one thing you can look for is the beginning of the jump when they start to come off their feet then you can strike or push them.

Defeating The Styles

The way you defeat someone who has a  fighting style is to first study it and learn every single part of it then if you can have friends with different levels of strengths attack with it.  Each style has 1 or 2 ways of attack striking and grabbing...focus on defending single and then combination attacks.  One other thing you should do is not have your friends attack with just the moves but with the way the style tells them to. 

Small JKD Tips

When throwing a jab, upper-cut or back-fist don't drop your hand try to keep your hand at the same level as your jaw.  When you use the hook don't punch far past your jaw try to bring your fist back close to your jaw.  When you throw a upper-cut throw it when your close to your opponent.  If your at close range your hooks, knees and horizontal-elbow are the best you can use. 

Closest Target

This is another skill that's necessary to practice and should be combined with accuracy training.  When you train with a partner take some time to practice finding the target closes to a weapon for example kneeing to the stomach or hip, punching to the jaw or side-kicking the lead-knee of your opponent.
