What is Jeet Kune Do


Jeet Kune Do is a dynamic modern martial art founded by Bruce Lee and it is dedicated to the creative martial artist. Based on what works in the real world not in a fantasy. In the beginning these principles are applied in a rational manner to a progressive training programme.
Our curriculum  is clear direct and effective. Jeet Kune Do is a fantastic martial art and  contains elements of Western Kick Boxing, Wing Chun, Grappling, European fencing theory.

​

Beginners are  introduced to the  Jun Fan Method (Bruce Lee's Gung Fu) 
Jun Fan Method is a base system which acts as a platform for Jeet Kune Do.  That's why it’s important to have a solid foundation to build upon. 


The technical basis of the art is:  
the on guard stance 
footwork and mobility 
punching and kicking 
five ways of attack 
economy of motion and interception 
energy sensitivity drills 
 developing fighting skills in all ranges, standing and on the ground,with or without a weapon. 

Learn it, Train it, own it.

 Jeet Kune Do training takes time and effort. It  gradually becomes one’s own personal expression in martial arts.
It  has its own principles philosophy and training methods which make it a unique martial art.
 It's a tailor made martial art designed to fit the person in terms of their personality, strengths, weaknesses, body type, physicality, fighting skills and age. 
Kali  and various arts such as Silat, Jiu Jitsu, Thai Boxing, are taught.
