Jeet Kune Do

The Way of the Intercepting Fist Jeet Kune Do is a dynamic and adaptive martial art founded by Bruce Lee. It is a philosophy-driven combat system that emphasizes efficiency, directness, and simplicity in both offense and defense. JKD is not confined to rigid forms or traditional patterns; instead, it encourages practitioners to adapt to real-world situations with fluidity and intelligence.
