Lee Jun Fan Gung Fu: The Art & Philosophy of Jeet Kune Do

Lee Jun Fan Gung Fu

With Wing Chun gung fu 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 and Southern Chinese styles. Innovative and radically ahead of his time in his training and teaching methodology, Bruce Lee developed a martial arts system and fighting strategy, Jeet Kune Do (JKD), that over time has lost none of its effectiveness.

Students are taught to move with ease and confidence through the different ranges of combat from long-distance kicking range, to middle-distance hand range, to close-quarter trapping and grappling range. These combat principles are further developed in our JKD Concepts classes and complement other martial arts we teach, including Filipino Kali for weapons training and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for advanced ground fighting techniques.

JKD affords the practitioner a means by which to effectively pursue the most direct line of attack. Once an attack has been launched there are no breaks or interruptions. The movements are crisp and efficient, utilising the most direct lines and angles. As one technique nears completion it starts to blend into the next and so on; one continuous flowing motion until the conflict is resolved.

Students are able to enhance their natural attributes such as coordination, timing, speed, endurance, strength and agility, by using the innovative teaching and training methods developed by Bruce Lee and preserved and taught today by his protege, student, and training partner, Guro Dan Inosanto.

Trapping

Trapping can be best described as positioning oneself to immobilise an opponent’s arms. Trapping is a method of closing the gap by entering from kicking range to either remain in hitting range or entering into grappling range.

Kicking

Kicking is taught as a basic foundation to build a student’s ability to function in the ranges of empty hand combat. It covers various methods of kickboxing and striking, both of which are influenced by arts such as Wing Chun, Western Boxing, Thai Boxing, Savate, and more.

Grappling

Often neglected to the detriment of a fighter’s all-round functional ability, grappling draws from many arts including Dumog, Jujitsu, Judo, Silat, Catch-as-catch-can Wrestling, Shoot Fighting, and so forth. Techniques include standing locks, takedowns, ground fighting, counters, and more.

Progressive Martial Arts Academy offers comprehensive grappling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training that builds upon these Lee Jun Fan Gung Fu principles. Our grappling curriculum incorporates techniques from multiple disciplines, following Bruce Lee’s philosophy of absorbing what is useful from various martial arts systems.
