Jeet Kune Do is a hybrid martial arts system founded by Bruce Lee. JKD incorporates minimal movement with maximum effect and extreme speed. The practical nature of JKD allows practitioners to employ different tools for different situations and include kicking, punching, trapping and grappling. Training in JKD allows expression as an individual, maximizing ones natural attributes while developing new ones. Originally termed Jun Fan Gung Fu (after Sifu Bruce's birth name - Lee Jun Fan) it was not meant to be a style as Sifu Bruce stated in his own words: "I have not invented a 'new style', composite, modified or otherwise that is set within distinct form as apart from "this" method or "that" method. On the contrary, I hope to free my followers from clinging to styles, patterns, or molds. Remember that Jeet Kune Do is merely a name used, a mirror in which to see "ourselves" ... Jeet Kune Do is not an organized institution that one can be a member of. Either you understand or you don't, and that is that." Originally, the concepts included Western boxing, Wing Chun and Fencing but quickly evolved as Sifu Bruce was a renowned researcher and never set limits on his knowledge. Sifu Bruce Lee authorized 3 individuals to teach his system - Sifu Dan Inosanto, Sifu James Lee, and Sifu Taky Kimura. Sifu Dan Inosanto, the leading authority on JFJKD strongly believes that in order to find your own Jeet Kune Do, one needs to understand and learn the original Jun Fan principles that were taught to him by Sifu Bruce. These core principles and techniques are carried on and maintained by WCMAA. WCMAA proudly carries the lineage of Sifu Dan Inosanto.
