Bruce Lee is the most famous martial artist today and is the founder of Jeet Kune Do, the Way of the Intercepting Fist.  Many consider Lee to be the father of MMA.

Bruce Lee Bio and the Founding of Jeet Kune Do

Lee wanted to express himself honestly.  He would reverse engineer all forms of combative arts and absorb what he considered was useful to himself and not worry about the rest of it. He wanted to obtain one thing, win the fight. He didn’t want to waste time . He wanted to obtain his goal with the most efficiency ! That is why he studied as many forms of martial art as he could to understand how and why they worked.

He eventually gave this form or system of his a name, Jeet Kune Do.  Lee then began teaching this “way” or method to friends who he felt would benefit from the learning and also add to his own understanding.  He would often teach established martial artists his JKD while simultaneously learning about theirs !

Let’s let the founder himself explain this a little more in his own words with the following renowned quotations.

“Jeet Kune Do is training and discipline towards the ultimate reality in combat.
Jeet Kune Do is the only non-classical style of Chinese Kung Fu in existence today. It is elementary in its execution, although not so simple to explain. Jeet means ‘to stop, to stem, to intercept,’ while Kune means ‘fist’ or ‘style,’ and Do means ‘the way’ or ‘the ultimate reality.”

Even after Lee’s untimely death, his JKD and his legacy have lived on.  Although not easy to find, there are martial artists that offer Jeet Kune Do training.

Famous Bruce Lee quote.

“Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.”
