Jeet Kune Do
|
Jeet Kune do is a system that was created and developed by Bruce Lee.
Between 1964 and 1967 the style was known as Jun Fan, then was later
renamed to Jeet Kune Do (JKD). It is an eclectic style that takes elements
from a wide cross section of other systems. Techniques from boxing,
Wing Chun, Savate, grappling, Philippine Systems, and various other
systems are all referenced to make up JKD. The Chan brothers'
focus on teaching JKD as the main art of the school. Many individuals
misinterpret JKD as not being a traditional system. Nothing could be
further from the truth. The Chan brothers always give credit to any
system that is referenced in the JKD techniques. Despite what others
may say, JKD does have a curriculum and the base for JKD is
1964-1967 Jun Fan and Wing Chun.
There are no forms in JKD and the practitioners tend to be very open-minded.
Taking the best elements from a wide cross section of fighting arts ensures
Bruce Lee's concept of, "Use no way as the way". JKD is a practical,
no-nonsense system that should be strongly considered if you are
interested in learning practical fighting techniques from all the
ranges of combat.
One interesting side note on JKD is that it is always
growing. Many of the instructors have dramatically expanded the art,
adding more elements from Silat, Muay Thai, Jujitsu, and a wide cross
section of Filipino systems.
