Jeet Kune Do Concepts

Jeet Kune Do, or ” The Way of the Intercepting Fist” was a concept popularized by Bruce Lee because he felt the Martial Arts were too confined.  ”You can’t fight in a pattern,” he used to say, “because an attack can be baffling and not refined”. In this class you will learn how to combine many Martial Arts Systems into your fighting structure with your foundation of Wing Chun just as Bruce Lee did.
