Jeet Kune Do (“JKD”) is not a style onto itself. Rather, it is the system of philosophy and concepts developed by SiJo Bruce Lee and continued by Guro Dan Inosanto. With Wing Chun at the core of his system, Bruce Lee incorporated a modification of various techniques from martial arts from all over the world. Innovative and radically ahead of his time in his training and teaching methodology, Bruce Lee developed a martial system and fighting strategy that has lost none of its effectiveness over time. Emphasizing the “ranges of combat”, students are taught to confidently flow from long-distance kicking range to middle distance (“hand range”), to close quarters (“trapping & grappling range”). The movements are crisp and efficient, utilizing the most direct lines and angles. JKD affords the practitioner a means by which to effectively pursue the most direct line of attack. Once an attack has been launched there are no breaks or interruptions. As one technique nears to completion, it starts to blend into the next and so forth; techniques become one continuous flowing motion until the conflict is resolved.
Jun Fan or Lee Jun Fan is the Chinese name of Bruce Lee. As a set curriculum, Jun Fan may be limited to specific techniques and training, while Jeet Kune Do has no such limitation. While Jun Fan is one tool that can be used to train the principles and concepts of JKD, it is not the only one.
The Jun Fan Gung Fu / JKD Concepts classes at the Total Martial Arts Academy in Coventry are devoted to teaching and preserving the arts and philosophies of the late Bruce Lee. Students are able to enhance their natural attributes, such as coordination, timing, speed, endurance, strength and agility, using the innovative teaching and training methods developed by Bruce Lee, and preserved and taught to us by his protégé, student and training partner, Sifu Dan Inosanto.
