dealing w/a jeet tek

[gungfuhero]

What do you do when your sparring partner has excellent timing with his jeet tek and jams most of your kicks? I've been experimenting with making my side kick more stream line
in respect to the centerline it works a little better but I'd like to hear any other comments.

ABD ... You know he's going to jam your kick so start a side kick motion and just before his jeet tek intercepts drop your kick and punch him ... or (if your kicking is good enough) turn your side kick into a round kick/sweep of his jeet tek. There are, of course, other options. These are the first 2 that come to my mind.

You can pretend that you strike with your lead fist and than attack him with your side kick (lead leg).
