JKD

Jeet Kune Do is designed to be an individual way of fighting. Bruce discovered that fighting is an individual concept and what works for you will not necessarily work for somebody else. You can adapt these techniques to suit your style of fighting. As with Wing Chun this is a simple system mainly techniques based. Having a limited amount of techniques allowing the practitioner to become proficient at fewer techniques. Practicing these techniques are more likely to remain in your muscle memory due to the limited number. You can adapt the training to suit you but you must maintain the main JKD principles concepts.
