JKD History

Jun Fan Gung Fu/Jeet Kune Do was created by the late Bruce Lee. Between 1965 & 1966 Sifu Dan Inosanto was amongst a small handful of students that Bruce Lee taught privately in his living room.   
These secret 'closed door' sessions were devoted to development of new martial arts systems, utilizing all types of training equipment like focus gloves, football shields and various bags. Everything was explored from generating explosive power to sensitivity training, but the emphasis was always on application through contact sparring. It has been said that this is when the modern kickboxing era truly began. In 1970 Dan Inosanto greatly influenced the system by introducing Filipino Boxing (Panantukan). Since these early days many new training drills and methods have been synthesized into the Dan Inosanto System of Jun Fan - Jeet Kune Do.

About JKD

The art is based on a compilation of 26 different systems. With Wing Chun at the core of his system, Bruce Lee incorporated a modification of various techniques from Northern Praying Mantis, Southern Praying Mantis, Choy Li Fut, Eagle Claw, Western Boxing, Wrestling, Fencing, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, and some of the more refined kicks of the Northern & Southern Chinese styles.   
JKD is primarily an open hand system, that includes elements of kicking, punching, trapping and grappling. The system works on the use of different 'tools'  for different situations. These situations are broken down into ranges, with techniques flowing smoothly between them.
