Jeet-Kune-Do

[The Way Of The Intercepting Fist]

Bruce Lee developed an art that was particular to him and he called it Jee-Kune-Do [Soul Of The Art]
Translated Jeet-Kune-Do means "The Way Of The Intercepting Fist"
and has as it's symbolic representation what we call Bruce Lee's Core symbol The Chinese characters
around the symbol and the core philosophical tenet behind Jee-Kune-Do translate to "Using no way, having no limitation
as limitation". The term Jeet-Kune-Do was coined around 1967 by Bruce Lee in an attempt to put a name to his
expression of his martial way. Lee wrestled with putting a name to his art as he constantly veered away from any type
of crytallization of its essence, however, the simple need to refer to it in some concrete way won
out and Jeet-Kune-Do was born.

The idea of intercepting is key to Jeet-Kune-Do, whether
it be the interception behind Jeet-Kune-Do are

1. Directness
2. Simplicity
3. Non-classical form or the form of no form

The techniques and the philosophies of Jeet-Kune-Do apply to real life situations
and real combat. Jeet-Kune-Do consists of physical
techniques and applied philosophies and requires the practitioner
to train him or herself to their most combat ready state so that when faced with a particular
situation, the tools needed are readily available.
