    What is Jeet Kune Do?

    Is this the style that Bruce Lee did and Chuck Norris does?

    The more I research to increase my knowledge of MA I keep hearing of this Jeet Kune Do. Is it pretty much the same as Tae Kwon Do?

    Thank You!

    C'mon man really?
    You are very lucky you are not on Sherdog as you would be humiliated to death within a hour of this post.
    But if you are serious about what JKD is no it is not like TKD or other old school martialarts.

    T. Mousel the host of this forum could most certianly answer this better than I but as I have been learning original JKD and new JKD concepts I have a little background in this area.
    But yes JKD is the martial art (for lack of a better word)that Bruce Lee created. As for if this is what C. Norris does I cannot say as I don't know him. I have read a lot about Mr. Norris and he has created a martial art I belive as well. But it is not JKD.
    JKD was originally designed to be a concept or method to apply to your current method of fighting. To my understanding there are "CORE" techniques that all JKD students learn but the ideas that JKD embodies should be applicable to all forms of martial study. The book a Tao of JKD could probably answer a lot of your questions. But I take heart in the last message in the book. I can't put it in this post as my book is at home and I wouldn't want to put it down unless I could be sure it was exact. I have been learning under Gary Dill and he has multiple articles in different ma magazines that you might want to research to help you better understand the topic.
    I have noticed that almost all JKD instructors especially the original ones have broke apart and created their own form of Association's. And I belive thay all have a different take on what JKD means and that each has a different approach to the theories and moves of JKD.
    That's my take on the subject.

    JKD Nonclassical combat modified gung fu. with excerpts of wing chun western boxing and fenceing. Has its own set of training methods per the student. then personal application. And students are encouraged to look further into the grappeling arts . Concepts being . to look and train in different aspects of arts that may help complement your JKD and aid to your performance. NO set method of JKD is it. The person being each different Will find there needs . And adding cultivate there training to include a mental aspect towards over all improvement not only as combat training but becoming hopefully a better person With intent in training not only to intercept the oppenents tools by hitting faster. But his intent befor he strikes. reading the fighters movements and motions. To aid in intercepts. But becoming a balanced fighter in the different aspects of a fight situation. And person goal of learning to fight but not wanting to just fight But be the better person. Bruce could get off many of his tools. And others have not yet learned to get them off as well Because, THey sometimes look to much on the application rather then just letting it go and do it. Hands on gives you the methods you can use A quick mind and trained body take you long way. JKD is one path And other arts have good paths to. When the person trains them for there self Not a robotic set of movements but free actions of responce Most arts will work. BUt there will be other opinions.

    "What is Jeet Kune Do?"


    It's a question that has been asked by miriads of MAists since the conception of JKD back in 1967.

    The answer is... A name. The literal translation means "Way of the intercepting fist"
    And so Jeet Kune Tek is the way of the intercepting foot.

    No matter what you call a thing people will try to define it, catagorize it, label it, and group it with other things like it.

    To say that JKD is "this" or "that" is to miss the point of JKD all together. BL did not invent a new or composite style. Lee himself observed that "To create a method of fighting is like putting a pound of water into wrapping paper and shaping it"

    JKD is about simplifying, stripping away everything that is useless and keeping only those things that are useful TO YOU. JKD trancends style, it is freedom itself. It is a mirror for self examination.

    "In all countries where personal freedom is valued, however much each individual may rely on legal redress, the right of each to carry arms - and these the best and the sharpest - for his own protection in case of extremity, is a right of nature indelible and irrepressible, and the more it is sought to be repressed the more it will recur."

    It's crap, basically, go take Tae Kwon Doe, and go own 4 bikers in a bar, I highly recommend Wushu as well, devastating in a real life fight.

    hehe

    I think it is harsh to say it is crap with no evidence to back it up.

    Your Cantonese is a little off - Jeet Tek Do would be way of the intercepting foot.

    What would a JKD thread be without some bickering about some relatively unimportant details?

    Oh, I thought about it. Just my fingers and brain don't always work well together on this (stupid) keyboard.

    Typed "Jeet Kune" too many times to type "Jeet Tek"



    Thanks for correcting that! It's better to have it right.
