Jun Fan Gung Fu has a progressive curriculum which is logical direct and effective. It contains elements of Western boxing, Wing Chun, European fencing theory, wrestling, Jiu Jitsu, and various arts such as Thai Boxing, Savate and others.
Learn the principle, abide by the principle, dissolve the principle.
Unlike Jun Fan Gung Fu, Jeet Kune Do has no set curriculum and gradually becomes one’s own personal expression, it has its own principles philosophy and training methods which make it a separate and unique martial art.
It is a tailor made art designed to fit the person in terms of their personality, strengths, weaknesses, body type, physicality, fighting ability and age. It is not as some would have us believe, a completely eclectic martial art as in people throwing together a bunch of disconnected martial arts techniques and calling this “their interpretation of JKD”. Depending on the lineage of the Instructor their expression and interpretation of JKD may look a bit different.
