Jeet Kune Do (JKD) was founded by Bruce Lee and means Way of the Intercepting Fist, highlighting the efficiency sought in fighting using a defence and attack simultaneously.
Unlike more traditional martial arts, JKD does not have patterns or forms, it is more a philosophy with guiding principles to enable a martial artist to grow and develop utilising their unique attributes and abilities.

JKD emphasises ranges of combat (Kicking, Punching, Trapping and Grappling), with techniques flowing smoothly between them.
Bruce Lee believed that combat was spontaneous, and that a martial artist cannot predict it, only react to it. For this reason the use of any means and techniques to defend oneself are employed, regardless of origin or style or how unorthodox they may be.
