Methods of Attack
The methods of attack is a categorical summary of the primary ways in which one can attack an opponent in unarmed combat. Though they are primarily intended to be applied to striking while standing, they generally can be applied to other areas of combat.
The following is largely sourced from Bruce Lee's '5 Angles of Attack' and from Mark Jacob's book The Principles of Unarmed Combat.
Next to each heading in parenthesis is the related method of attack by Bruce Lee.
1. Single Direct Attack (Single Direct Attack)
The single direct attack is the simplest manner of attack in which a single strike is thrown directly at the target.
Timing and distance are key elements to successfully landing the strike. You must be able to recognize openings to know the right time to attack as well as be close enough to land the blow without your opponent being able to launch an effectively defense. Examples would be throwing a jab at the opponents chin after seeing that he has dropped his guard or striking his lead leg with a round kick after recognizing that his stance is too wide.
2. Combination Attack (Attack by Combination)
The combination attack can be defined as an attack which includes two or more strikes, each thrown with the intention of hitting their targets.
Combination attacks have a few advantages over single direct attacks. The first is that throwing more strikes provides an opportunity to do more damage. If you attack with a jab->cross->hook and land all three punches, then you have probably hurt your opponent more than if you were to attack and with and land only a jab.
Second, combinations provide you with more opportunities to connect. Going back to the jab->cross->hook, even if your opponent is able to defend against the jab, you may still connect with the cross and/or hook as it is typically more difficult to defend against multiple strikes than it is against one. This is because, with good combinations, each strike sets up the next.
3. False Attack (Progressive Indirect Attack)
The false attack is the use of some sort of misleading movement as a means to create openings to set up your real attack. False attacks include fakes, feints and progressive indirect attacks.
Fakes are essentially partial attacks which lack follow through. For instance, I might throw a fake cross, extending my rear arm halfway to get my opponent to react (maybe he raises his arms or simply shifts his attention to protecting his head), then quickly throw a lead shovel hook to the body.
Feints are similar but involve a more subtle movement. For example, instead of faking the cross I might simply feint it by slightly and quickly twisting my body, then following up with my actual attack with my lead hand.
Though there is a distinction between faking and feinting, it is also common to find the words used interchangeably. I myself will sometimes do this out of laziness.
The progressive indirect attack is a concept Bruce Lee borrowed from fencing. It is a type of fake/ feint that utilizes one motion with no withdrawal of the hand or leg. For instance, I might throw what looks to be an overhand strike, then midway through (without pulling back) shift down by bending my knees and circling my arm at the elbow to strike the opponents groin.
8. Change of Target Attack
This attack looks to establish a pattern of attacking one target for a period of time then suddenly switching to a different target. This attack relies on your opponent expecting one thing, then you doing something different. For example, you might repeatedly punch at the opponents body so that he eventually expects that attack to come and thus lower his arms for protection. This of course presents an opportunity to attack the head.
9. Subterfuge Attack
This is the use of psychological ploys to distract an opponent and create an opening for attack. A classic example would be telling an opponent to look "behind you" and then hitting them as he turns away. Another example found in sporting events, is offering to touch gloves then immediately attacking when the opponent extends their arm. Or acting like you're hurt to entice you're opponent into being over confident and over extend themselves with their atack (playing possum).
More often, the subterfuge attack can be found in the ploys used by criminals such as asking what time it is or if you have a cigarette as a way of distracting, getting close and/or putting their target at ease.

4. Drawing Attack (Drawing Attack)
Drawing is the tactic of luring your opponent into attacking what they perceive is an open area or vulnerability so that you can perform a counter attack
5. Disruption Attack (Hand Immobilization Attack)
The disruption attack is one that disrupts the opponents defensive position by making some sort of preliminary contact with him prior to the damaging part of the attack. Bruce Lee's hand immobilization attack fits into this category, though it should be pointed out that disruption attacks are not limited to just trapping the opponents arms and hands.
Common disruptions include:
-grabbing or slapping an opponents arm out of the way so that you can strike his head.
-pulling, pushing or tripping your opponent to off balance them to setup a strike.
-using the opponents clothes to entangle them (an example is how hockey players will pull their opponents jersey over there head).
6. Directional Attack
A directional attack also called an angular attacks employ the use of footwork in order to move toward the side of an opponent in an attempt to find an opening to attack.
7. Change of Timing Attack

7. Change of Timing Attack
Often referred to as 'broken rhythm', the change of timing attack uses an abrupt change in the normal speed or rhythm of your attacks to throw off your opponents defenses.
The change in speed attack involves throwing your strikes slower than your able to. The idea is that after doing so for some time, your opponent will hopefully believe that this is your normal speed or at least lull him into expecting your strikes to continue at this pace. When you feel the time is right, you attack at your maximum speed. This sudden change will hopefully throw off your opponent and create an opening.

Side Mount 3: Near Side At Hip, Far Side Arm Over or Under Opp Arm
Non-Telegraphic Movement
Telegraphing is the act of unintentionally alerting your opponent prior to your next offensive move. It's the little unintended preparatory movements which act as signals or tells, lowering the attacks chances of being successful. Common examples would include drawing the hand back before throwing a punch, dropping your shoulder, taking an unnecessary step before kicking or even shifting the gaze of the eyes to the area of the opponents body to be attacked.
If telegraphing is the problem, then the obvious solution is to make your movements non-telegraphic.
Self-awareness and analysis is the best way to achieve this. Stand in front of a mirror and execute your techniques looking for any telegraphed cues to eliminate. Record yourself hitting the bag, then review looking for flaws. Also while working with a training partner, have them point out any tells they see while working the pads or sparring.

Footwork
Footwork Techniques
A. Single Step (one leg moves)
1. Lead Step Forward (Lead Step)
This is generally used to allow you to attack with a punch then quickly retreat out of range. The front foot steps forward as the strike (usually a jab) is thrown but the back foot does not move. At the extension of the punch, quickly push off the front foot moving back to your normal stance. Example

At the extension of the punch, quickly push off the front foot moving back to your normal stance. Example
Can also be used as a feint to judge an opponents reaction or throw off tempo.
2. Floating Leg (Lutang)
From Kalis Ilustrisimo, the movement allows you to quickly move your lead leg out of the way of an attack without stepping back. It's also a deceptive movement which can throw off your opponent. As a strike approaches, either slide or swing your lead leg directly behind you and then forward again. Example
3. Rear Step Back
Generally used defensively to get out of range of your opponents upper body attack, then quickly move back in range for a counter (see Snap Back/Rock Back under Defensive Tools)
B. Multiple Steps (both legs move)
1. Basic Footwork
Step first with the foot which is closest to the direction you are heading, then the other foot follows returning you to your stance.
-Forward - Front foot steps, then the back foot follows.
-Backward - Back foot steps, then the front foot follows.
-Left - Left foot steps, then right foot (moving directly sideways).
-Left Curving - Left foot steps then slightly pivots as you step with the right (so that you are again facing your opponent).
-Right - Right foot steps, then the left (moving directly sideways).
-Right Curving - Right foot steps then slightly pivots as you step with the left (so that you are again facing your opponent).
There are essentially two versions of the Basic Footwork. The Step and Slide and the Push Step.
a) Step and Slide (Step & Step) The Step and Slide is the slower, more plodding version where you are essentially picking up the first foot, moving it in the direction you want to go as you shift your weight into that foot to move your body. The second foot then either slides or steps, returning you to your original stance.
*Step and slide technique example
b) Push Step With the Push Step (push shuffle) instead of just transferring weight to move you in the direction you want to go, you quicken the motion by pushing with the opposite foot. If you are moving forward you push off the floor with the back foot. If moving backwards, you would push off the floor with the front foot. Moving to the right, the left foot pushes. Moving to the left, the right foot pushes. Many JKD instructors teach that when moving forward you land on the heel of the front foot. I generally don't do this.
2. Slide Step
Used to quickly cover more distance than what can be done with the shuffle step.
-Forward - Back foot moves first, then the front. Can be a small step (back foot takes a small step forward) or a larger step (back foot slides up just behind or to the side of the front foot).
-Backward - Front foot moves first, then the back. As with the forward side step, this can be a small or large step.
*Slide step technique example
-Angled - My first exposure to the use of the angled slide step is with the unique footwork of Dominick Cruz. Generally used to get an angle for a strike or to setup a strike through misdirection.
*Foot Positioning Technique by UFC Champion Dominick Cruz
3. Full Step/Shifting
When the back foot steps forward beyond what was previously the front foot, causing you to change your stance. Stepping into another stance while throwing a punch at the same time or immediately following the step is referred to as shifting.
4. Pivot
-Front Foot
-Back Foot
5. Step and Pivot (Curve Step)
A lateral step to the side or angled step followed by a pivot. *Example

4. Pivot
-Front Foot
-Back Foot
5. Step and Pivot (Curve Step)
A lateral step to the side or angled step followed by a pivot. *Example
6. Pivot and Step (Hip Carry)
Pivoting off the front foot toward your back., then a small step to the outside with the front foot to reface your opponent. *See Trevor Wittman Footwork Blueprint
7. Switch Step
Used to switch from a left lead to a right lead (or vice versa) moving little or no distance forward. Generally used to get more power for lead leg knees or kicks. Also used defensively when opponent tries to kick the inside of your lead leg. You can switch step to make him miss then would generally come back with a round kick. Can also be used to get more distance for the cross. Switch step as if you going to throw the lead leg kick, then throwing the cross, stepping forward.
8. Stutter Step
Shift your weight forward onto the front foot then. Bring your back foot up a short distance and just before it touches the ground, you step forward with the front foot. While the front foot is in the air, the back foot has touched the ground and is pushing off. This technique is most often followed up with a rear leg round kick. It is used to move you into the proper distance to throw the kick or, due to it's choppy broken rhythm motion, to throw off an opponents defense. It is also a way of increasing the kicks power. The superman/cobra punch uses an exaggerated version of the stutter step.
*technique example
9. Side Step (Step Over)
I use this term to refer to any lateral moving step (including angled steps) where when moving to the right, the right foot moves first and when moving to the left, the left foot moves first. Used defensively or to setup an attack. Can also be combined with other defensive movements such as slips, bobs, weaves, etc.
