 JEET KUNE DO HISTORY

Bruce Lee

 

Bruce Lee modified Wing Chun, Fencing and Boxing to create Jeet Kune Do.

Jerry is one of only a few selected and privately trained by Bruce Lee. Jerry trained with Sifu Lee from 1966-1973.

 

Jeet Kune Do was founded in the 1960's by the late Bruce Lee. Although he never intended the Art to have a name, he did want to separate principles and philosophy so people would understand the difference.  Lee's principles make interception work in JKD but more importantly, they provide a philosophical foundation to a an individual understanding beyond physical limitations. This of course is the goal of Jeet Kune Do rather than always trying to prove yourself through competition, debates, or throwing together your own ideas.  Unfortunately, even 35 years after Lee's passing, many people have mis-interpreted the training and created their own personal expression of the art based on books, pictures, and movies in which Lee appeared.


Lee had several students througout his lifetime that understood his approach to Interception. One student remains loyal in this approach and has the life force to prove it. This student is none other than world renowned JKD Instructor, Jerry Poteet.

Since an attack is unpredictable in nature, Jeet Kune Do helps you to develop instinctive reflexes that allows you to 'Fit In'to any threat regardless of size or strength. No pre-arranged movements are stressed and the individual has the freedom to defend themselves with no limitaions. Discover your innate abilities while increasing your physical strength, flexibility and endurance. This will boost your self-confidence, ability to concentrate and focus, and teaches you how to deal with everyday stress in a positive manner. This will lead the individual to discover balance and harmony within themselves while inspiring them to develop a solid foundation for a successful life.
