Jeet Kune Do (JKD) is the name Bruce Lee gave to
his combat philosophy in 1967. Originally, when Lee began researching
various fighting styles, he gave his own martial art his own name of
Jun Fan Gung Fu. However, not wanting to create another style that
would share the limitations that all styles have, he instead gave us the
process that created it.
JKD as it survives today - is what was left
at the time of Bruce Lee’s death. It is the result of the life-long
martial arts development process Lee went through. Bruce Lee stated
that his ideals are not an “adding to” of more things, but rather a
winnowing out. The metaphor Lee borrowed from Chan Buddhism was of
constantly filling a cup with water, and then emptying it, used for
describing Lee’s philosophy of “casting off what is useless”. The end
result is what he considered to be the bare combat essentials, or JKD.
UMA is home of the late Bruce Lee’s “Old
School JKD” (or pure JKD), covering all three JKD development periods:
- Seattle; Oakland; and particularly LA China Town.
"The purpose of this group is to preserve and promote Bruce
Lee’s art of Jeet Kune Do, to help define and teach the core
curriculum, not to confine us but to liberate us, and to discover our
personal expression of Bruce’s art." Tim Tackett
