What Is JKD?
Bruce Lee is a global martial arts icon, training in several styles, he figured out what worked best for him by absorbing what was useful and discarded what was not. Guided by philosophy & scientific principles, this legendary figure coined his art as Jeet Kune Do.
JKD literally means the Way of the Intercepting Fist and is mainly influenced by Wing Chun Kung Fu, Western Boxing, and Fencing. Bruce Lee’s fighting legacy was kept alive by a few of his closed-door students.
Jerry Poteet’s JKD resembles Bruce’s years in Los Angles and Dan Inosanto’s JKD Concepts has evolved to include Filipino empty hand and stick fighting, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (ground fighting).
Although Bruce developed his art mainly for street fighting, I can present this art for self defense and combative sports. JKD does not have forms or katas to practice. Instead we have drills, heavy bags, and other equipment which can be a similar experience to Muay Thai kickboxing.
However JKD is not a combat sport like kickboxing, as a lot of techniques would be illegal. Even though JKD doesn’t belong in the ring, many MMA fighters (e.g. Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, & Tony Ferguson) are still using the same principals and tools from JKD to give them a sporting edge. What I love about JKD is that it is personal, practical, and modern.
