Urban Martial Arts :: Jeet Kune Do DOWNLOAD JKD DEFINITION.pdf 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.
